Nature, technology, and craftsmanship blend harmoniously to create the miracle of PITERA™ - to present a promise of crystal clear skin that is yours to always keep.

In the 1970s, SK-II scientists began a fervent quest to uncover a skincare ingredient that would make beautiful skin a reality. Across land and sea, they sought for the answer. Researching a myriad of possibilities ranging from Chinese herbs to hot spring water – the secret they were looking for eluded them for a long time. It was only by a chance encounter that the scientists observed the soft and youthful hands of aged sake brewers. The breath-taking sight was what hinted at the skincare miracle they would eventually uncover. A destiny of beauty was finally within reach.

Derived from a strictly controlled natural fermentation process, PITERA™ is a clear liquid rich in vitamins, amino acids, minerals and organic acids. The fascinating combination of nutrients work to dramatically improve the skin’s natural surface rejuvenation process. This unique and signature ingredient bears close resemblance to the skin’s Natural Moisturizing Factors (NMF) – a deciding element in the restoration and enhancement of translucency, softness and smoothness.
