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.

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.
