The brand SK-II:
The SK-II brand (the name stands for Secret Key number two) was developed in the 1970s by Japanese scientists. They decided to lớn study the use of ingredients with a more natural origin than those that were trendy at the time after making a very interesting discovery.
They had indeed observed that older workers in Japanese sake breweries had smooth, clear and young looking hands after they spent years brewing fermented yeast.
They decided lớn experiment and after testing more than 350 different yeasts for 5 years, they were able to isolate a yeast extract, effective enough for cosmetic use, which they decided to gọi Pitera. This was the beginning of SK-II with the creation of the famous Facial Treatment Essence Pitera, which remains lớn this day the brand’s most emblematic product.

The legend of Pitera:
Poduct presentation:SK-II Facial Treatment Essence Pitera
Its concept:
SK-II Facial Treatment Essence Pitera is an essence, this hybrid liquid skincare hàng hóa typically found in Asian skincare routines. It is between a toner lotion & a serum. & this specific one from SK-II belongs to the category of “first” essences.
They are also called “fermentation essence”, “facial treatment essence”, “first treatment essence”, “starting treatment essence” or even FTE.
All these essences are quite common in Asia. There are not a lot of equivalents among Western brands. I guess it’s probably because they imply in their name (“first” essence) a more complex skincare routine with a layering process & that their main claimed action on the skin is their brightening/ whitening effect, and this is a very important concern for Asian customers.
In Asia, they are considered as “pre-essences”, or essences to lớn put before everything else (including other essences). Obviously, if you don’t want to vì chưng a complex skincare routine with 10 steps, the “First” essence can be your only essence.
Like all essences, they prepare the skin to lớn benefit from other skincare products applied on vị trí cao nhất of it. But they also have other benefits for the skin: – they’re moisturizing, – they help to rebalance the skin, – they’re firming, – they smooth wrinkles và fine lines, – they have a brightening effect, – they reduce pigmentation spots, – và most importantly, they give a lot of radiance khổng lồ the complexion.
In short, it’s recommended to lớn use the SK-II Facial Treatment Essence Pitera at the beginning of your routine, on clean skin và before all your other skincare products to, according khổng lồ the brand, restore aclearer, deeply hydrated skin, with a younger appearance.
Its composition:
Usually, these “First” essences all have a rather similar composition, they’re often very rich in fermented ingredients such as Galactomyces or Saccharomyces (which are yeasts).
In the case of SK-II Facial Treatment Essence Pitera, the concentration of Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate (or Pitera) is 90%.
