For almost a generation, Japanese women have known a secret.
This secret was discovered by a Japanese monk who visited a sake
brewery in Kobe. He was surprised to discover that the brewery
workers had extraordinary soft and youthful hands. Even an elderly
man with pronounced wrinkles on his face possessed the silky smooth
hands of a young boy.
This observation encouraged the monk to conduct a series of
experiments. He eventually discovered a clear, nutrient-rich liquid
that could be extracted during the yeast fermentation process. He
shared his findings with a group of skincare scientists, who became
equally excited by the potential of his discovery.
For the following five and a half years, intensive research was
undertaken to understand more about this magical seemingly
'age-defying' liquid. Pitera, one of nature's purest sources of
skin renewal, is the magical ingredient found in all SK-II
products.
A singular blend of vitamins, amino acids, proteins and organic
acids work together to produce a seemingly miraculous rebirth of
the skin through stimulation and renewal of the outer layer,
allowing the skin's natural rejuvenation process to function at its
prime. Pitera is only sourced from one place in the world and is
still produced today by the same process as it was made 25 years
ago. Once again, the Japanese have invented a most sublime
experience from a most simple discovery-and a timeless process
produces a timeless glow.
