KEY INGREDIENTS:
- PITERA™: Improves skin's natural regeneration, for youthful skin. SK-II transformed skincare when scientists discovered PITERA™, the proprietary ingredient that forms the heart of all their products. They discovered PITERA™ during their tireless quest for beautiful bare skin. In the 1970s, their scientists became fixated on the soft, youthful-looking hands of elderly workers at a Japanese sake brewery. They knew the secret must lie in yeast and fermentation process. Rich in vitamins, amino acids, minerals and organic acids, SK-II's proprietary ingredient PITERA™, dramatically improves the natural surface rejuvenation process.
