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

  • 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.

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.

Really nice serum

I really like the texture of this serum and how it sinks into the skin quickly. It really plumps up your skin and feels nice. The packaging is elegant. The ingredients are really good for you skin and unscented. After a few weeks your skin feels so amazing and soft.

Nice but expensive

I recently tried a sample of SK-II Facial Treatment Essence, and while I can see why it has such a cult following, I have some reservations. The texture is lightweight, and it absorbs quickly, leaving my skin feeling hydrated and refreshed. After using it for a few days, I did notice a slight improvement in my skin’s radiance, and it felt smoother, but the results weren’t as dramatic as I expected for such a high-end product. The biggest downside for me is the price. Even with the sample size, it’s clear that this product comes with a hefty price tag, and I’m not sure the benefits justify the cost. While it provides decent hydration and a mild glow, other essences or toners at a fraction of the price can deliver similar results without the financial commitment. I didn’t notice any significant changes in skin texture or fine lines, which made it harder to justify the splurge. Overall, while SK-II Facial Treatment Essence is a solid product that does deliver some hydration and radiance, the price feels too high for the subtle effects it provides. If you’re looking for more dramatic improvements or a better value, there are other products out there that may work just as well or better for your skin.
