What It Is

A powerful anti-aging treatment to reduce the appearance of fine lines and sun spots, visibly refine texture, even skin tone and improve firmness.

  • Skin Type

    Normal, Dry, Combination, Oily

  • Skin Concern

    Dark Spots, Fine Lines/Wrinkles, Uneven Texture

  • What It Does

    An anti-aging must-have. SK-II's highest percentage PITERA™, its 50+ micronutrients (peptides, vitamins, minerals) help reduce UVA and UVB surface oxidative damage. The lightweight formula absorbs quick to work within the moisture barrier, improving surface cell turnover for a youthful, dewy glow.

  • 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.

  • How To Use It

    - Pour 2-3 shakes (about a quarter size amount) of the essence into the palm of your hand. Press together to wet both hands. Gently press the essence over your face and neck for 1 minute, ensuring even coverage. Continue pressing until it is fully absorbed into your skin.
    - This essence can be used twice daily. It is recommended to apply after any cleansers/toners and before any serums/moisturizers.

  • Clinical Results

    In a 11-year longitudinal study with 108 subjects:
    - PITERA™ was shown to diminish visible skin damage and signs of aging (fine lines, wrinkles, sun spots, dullness, texture, dryness) by up to 10 years with just 1 year of PITERA™ regimen use.

    In a 28-day consumer agreement study with 65 participants:
    - Skin felt moisturized and smooth after 3 days.
    - Skin looked and felt softer and firmer after 1 week.
    - Users saw improved skin texture and reduced fine lines and wrinkles appearance after 2 weeks.
    - Skin looked radiant after 28 days.

    In a clinical study with 272 women:
    - Women who started using the Facial Treatment Essence in their 20s looked significantly younger in their 30s and 40s.

Holy grail product

The best product to use for hydrated clear skin. The essence is light and watery, and makes a great toner before makeup. I also love to soak cotton pads in it and use it as a quick mask. It helps calm down irritable skin and reduces redness!

Organic

It’s a bit pricey but it works really well. It doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin but hydrates it and calms my redness after shower. My skin turns softer and smoother. The scent is very light and feels very organic. Worth a try.

Helps calm and restore troubled skin

I used to struggle with persistent skin problems that my dermatologist couldn’t identify or fix, even after a year of tests and medications. I’m not entirely sure how this essence worked, but after using SK‑II Facial Treatment Essence, my skin gradually recovered — it feels calmer, clearer, and healthier than it has in years. Beyond the physical results, it gave me my confidence back. The lightweight, watery texture absorbs instantly and leaves my skin soft, hydrated, and radiant. It’s gentle yet effective, and I now consider it a staple in my daily skincare routine.
