Award-winning singer and songwriter John Legend, Chinese actress Tang Wei, and popular comedians James Corden and Naomi Watanabe may seem like an unusual combination, but who would have thought that they would be such a great mix in the new Pitera Masterclass by SK-II!

In the newest installment of Bare Skin Chat, SK-II’s beauty entertainment web series, the star-studded cast embark on an adventure to uncover the origins of the legendary Pitera, one of J-Beauty’s best kept secrets and the signature ingredient in SK-II’s iconic bestseller Facial Treatment Essence.

We can't wait to find out what the Pitera Masterclass is all about.

From this 30-second full action trailer, we can see the comedic duo wandering about a sake brewery in its motherland, shedding light on the legendary story of Pitera -- the chance observation of the brewers’ youthful looking hands in contrast to their old wrinkled faces.

Masterclass 101: What exactly is Pitera?

Pitera was discovered 39 years ago in Japan, derived from a natural fermentation process from a special yeast strain that is exclusive to SK-II.

Pitera Essence – a.k.a. SK-II Facial Treatment Essence – is known for its transformative powers, and those who have used it swear by it claiming that their skin is so much better than ever before.

It didn't gain the term ‘Miracle Water’ throughout Asia for nothing.

Discover the magic and power of the almighty Pitera Essence.
