The Discovery
Pitera, was discovered purely by chance. About thirty years ago, a scientist noticed that the hands of workers at a Japanese saké brewery looked beautiful and young. This was the inspiration behind five years of research by a team of scientists who screened through over 300 types of yeasts and refined the precise conditions for fermentation, leading to the discovery of SK-II's signature ingredient, Pitera.
Derived from a unique yeast's fermentation, Pitera is a blend of vitamins, amino acids, minerals, and organic acids that work together to allow the skin's natural surface rejuvenation process to function at its prime, enhancing the renewal of the skin's outer layer. Continued usage of Pitera leads to clearer looking, smoother skin.
Pitera is the signature ingredient in all SK-II products, and is 'the secret key' to beautiful skin.
Facial Treatment Essence, which was also the basis of Cate Blanchett's discovery of the brand is over 90% pure Pitera. It provides instant moisture, and works to improve both texture and clarity; to promote a radiant, glowing complexion.
Pitera, a 'Secret Key' to beautiful skin
Pitera is a singular blend of vitamins, amino acids, minerals and organic acids that work together to help restore the appearance of your skin's outer layers, by enabling the skin's natural surface rejuvenation process to function at its prime.
Today, scientists continue to marry this miracle of nature with breakthrough science in the advanced skincare line SK-II - which, like Pitera, combines nature's purity, incorporates timeless rituals for body and soul together with modern technology to restore the natural beauty of your skin.
The Ritual
In the East, it is believed that the key to a balanced life lies in the power of rituals. The SK-II ritual inspires complete devotion to those who practice it. Morning and evening is a time dedicated to caring for oneself. An escape that first begins with getting into a meditative state, clearing your mind and visualising your ideal skin, both now and for the future. This subtle, yet powerful step originates from the timeless philosophy of the East, that the mind and body are one, inextricably linked spiritually and physically.
The Experience
Your ritual is yours alone, designed to enhance the natural beauty of your skin, attend to its special needs and fit into your lifestyle. After taking a quiet moment for yourself to visualise your ideal skin, you may begin your skin ritual, which consists of three stages:
Purifying
Thoroughly cleanse and refresh your skin to prepare it to experience the wonders of Pitera.
Renewing
Facial Treatment Essence, the heart of the SK-II ritual, literally drenches your skin with over 90% pure Pitera, providing instant moisture and stimulating the renewal of the skin's outer layer to improve texture and clarity.
Facial Treatment Essence is the core treatment for all, regardless of age, skin condition or skin type.
Personalised Treatments
Products and massage techniques recommended to you by your SK-II skincare counsellor are designed to address specific needs: brightening, nourishing, anti-ageing and finishing.
The benefits of Pitera will gradually reveal themselves through out the natural renewal of your skin's upper layer (this typically takes about 28-days) - marking the beginning of a lifetime of new beauty for your skin.
