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.

Only skin care product I use

I am 44 and this is the ONLY product I use every morning and night, especially in the spring and summer. It is hydrating and does not feel heavy. My combination skin is sensitive to a lot of the products out there. It is expensive but I got to cut out spending on other products. Use it consistently for 6 months and you will see the difference.

It’s a thing

This essence is a staple in my skincare routine. I use it every morning and night, and it's made a huge difference in my skin's clarity and texture. The "miracle water" nickname is real—my pores look smaller, my skin feels firmer, and the glow is undeniable. Yes, it's expensive, but if you're dealing with dull or uneven skin, it's a worthy investment.

Great Essence

I’ve been using this essence for 7+ years. If I stop using it, I can see the difference. Also, a plus is I use it for my hands when my hands are red and flaky from washing too much ( healthcare worker). My face is bright and clear from daily use.

Nice facial essence

Such a lovely and nice facial essence. It is very lightweight and hydrating on skin. The ingredient list is short and simple which I always look for in my skincare things. Love everything about this product except the price tag. Hopefully in long run, the investment will pay off.

Beautiful Skin In A Bottle!❤️

SKII… How do I love thee… Honestly, I do not know how women live without this Essence. I hear women complain about hyperpigmentation, aging, etc.. This Essence starts to lighten spots from day one. It gives your skin such clarity. Truth be told, I have amazing genes from my mum and granny. This Essence makes me look 20 years younger. Is it expensive? Absolutely! Is it worth its weight in gold? Heck YES! I do not have to bother with a lot of other skin care, other than eye and skin cream. One last thing, YOU MUST WEAR SUNSCREEN! It protects the skin from future hyperpigmentation. There are a lot of fake versions out there, but you purchase from a high end store like Macy*s, you will get the real thing. Get a tiny bottle, try it, trust me, you will be back for the biggest bottle. You can thank me later!

good product from a trusted brand

A lightweight, watery essence that is 90% Pitera, a fermented ingredient rich in vitamins, amino acids, & minerals. Designed to improve skin texture, radiance, and hydration. Overall I noticed it leaves the skin hydrated, plump and soft. I love that the essence itself is lightweight, which helps it to absorb quickly & allows it to work well under other skincare. I also adore the fact that there isn’t any added fragrance or unnecessary fillers, very straightforward ingredients that you can be proud of. The only con I can think of is the price tag. Great for those looking to invest in a long-term brightening and hydrating essence, but the price may not justify the results for everyone.
