PITERA™ Facial Treatment Essence is SK-II’s iconic, cult-favorite essence, trusted by celebrities and skincare experts for more than 45 years. Formulated with more than 90% PITERA™ and just seven simple ingredients, this transformative essence helps improve the skin’s natural renewal process while supporting a fundamentally healthy, youthful-looking complexion. PITERA™ helps stimulate the skin’s natural production of Hyaluronic Acid and Natural Moisturizing Factors, improving hydration and surface cell turnover to leave skin feeling firmer, smoother, softer, and more refined. The lightweight formula helps reduce the appearance of dark spots, fine lines, wrinkles, uneven texture, and dullness, while helping visibly reduce redness caused by dryness.
Suitable for Normal, Dry, Combination, and Oily skin types, the Facial Treatment Essence delivers visible improvements over time. In approximately two weeks, skin appears firmer, smoother, softer, and more refined, with a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. After one month, skin looks more radiant with a visible improvement in the appearance of age spots. With continued use of the PITERA™ regimen, visible signs of skin damage and aging may be minimized over time. PITERA™ is SK-II’s proprietary, naturally derived bio-ingredient created through fermentation. Discovered in the 1970s after scientists observed the remarkably youthful-looking hands of elderly Japanese sake brewers, PITERA™ contains more than 50 micronutrients, including vitamins, minerals, and amino acids, that help nourish the skin and improve its appearance across multiple dimensions.
