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.

Incredible

If you can afford this product, WOW. It is just so good. This essence preps my skin for skincare so incredibly well. This essence has a pleasant scent and feels so fresh on my skin. The mini size is perfect for travel and lasts an astonishingly long amount of time. This is lightweight and helps my serums absorb even better. It is pricy, true, but the performance is incredible and I would absolutely recommend it.

Secrets out

Since I was introduced to this product, I cannot get enough of it. I have now hooked my whole family into this skin care line and not just the essence. I use it all once you start one in the results you cannot keep up with this. I love the scent, the texture the effectiveness everything I love how simple the packaging is I guess the only thing I really don’t know about this product is how to pronounce the name, but that’s the least of my worries! This is definitely going on my gift list for Christmas for a couple of my girls who love their skin care and Christmas is a good time to gift without judgment from your gifts, so I hope everyone loves this product as much as I do

Very average product

Did not really do anything for me other than hydration. A let down especially at this price point, save your money for something else. There are better essences in the market

Light, fresh, and makes skin glow

This essence feels super light and refreshing on the skin. After using it, my face looks more hydrated and bright, with a healthy glow. It absorbs fast and doesn’t leave any sticky feeling. It’s pricey, but a little goes a long way, and it makes my skin feel really smooth and soft.
