SK-II emerged at a Japanese sake brewery, where scientists discovered the Pitera™, a naturally derived liquid from the sake fermentation process. The elderly workers at the brewery had wrinkled faces, but their hands remained extraordinarily soft and youthful-looking due to Pitera™. The discovery led to the creation of SK-II skincare with Pitera™, used globally, transforming complexions with remarkable improvement to texture, radiance, spot control, firmness, and wrinkle resilience.
As a leading skincare brand for over 30 years, SK-II continues to shape the beauty industry, developing well-loved products such as the Facial Treatment Essence, Essential Power Cream, and Cellumination Essence. SK-II's Facial Treatment Essence is a bestselling star product infused with Pitera™, offering a robust foundation for every skincare routine. These products remain favorite beauty tools for women worldwide, thanks to SK-II's commitment to delivering crystal clear skin solutions.
