What It Is

A powerful anti-aging treatment to reduce the appearance of fine lines and sun spots, visibly refine texture, even skin tone and improve firmness.
  • Skin Type

    Normal, Dry, Combination, Oily
  • Skin Concern

    Dark Spots, Fine Lines/Wrinkles, Uneven Texture
  • What It Does

    An anti-aging must-have. SK-II's highest percentage PITERA™, its 50+ micronutrients (peptides, vitamins, minerals) help reduce UVA and UVB surface oxidative damage. The lightweight formula absorbs quick to work within the moisture barrier, improving surface cell turnover for a youthful, dewy glow.
  • Key Ingredients

    - PITERA™: Improves skin's natural regeneration, for youthful skin. SK-II transformed skincare when scientists discovered PITERA™, the proprietary ingredient that forms the heart of all their products. They discovered PITERA™ during their tireless quest for beautiful bare skin. In the 1970s, their scientists became fixated on the soft, youthful-looking hands of elderly workers at a Japanese sake brewery. They knew the secret must lie in yeast and fermentation process. Rich in vitamins, amino acids, minerals and organic acids, SK-II's proprietary ingredient PITERA™, dramatically improves the natural surface rejuvenation process.
  • How To Use It

    - Pour 2-3 shakes (about a quarter size amount) of the essence into the palm of your hand. Press together to wet both hands. Gently press the essence over your face and neck for 1 minute, ensuring even coverage. Continue pressing until it is fully absorbed into your skin.
    - This essence can be used twice daily. It is recommended to apply after any cleansers/toners and before any serums/moisturizers.
  • Clinical Results

    In a 11-year longitudinal study with 108 subjects:
    - PITERA™ was shown to diminish visible skin damage and signs of aging (fine lines, wrinkles, sun spots, dullness, texture, dryness) by up to 10 years with just 1 year of PITERA™ regimen use.

    In a 28-day consumer agreement study with 65 participants:
    - Skin felt moisturized and smooth after 3 days.
    - Skin looked and felt softer and firmer after 1 week.
    - Users saw improved skin texture and reduced fine lines and wrinkles appearance after 2 weeks.
    - Skin looked radiant after 28 days.

    In a clinical study with 272 women:
    - Women who started using the Facial Treatment Essence in their 20s looked significantly younger in their 30s and 40s.

Really nice serum

I really like the texture of this serum and how it sinks into the skin quickly. It really plumps up your skin and feels nice. The packaging is elegant. The ingredients are really good for you skin and unscented. After a few weeks your skin feels so amazing and soft.

Nice but expensive

I recently tried a sample of SK-II Facial Treatment Essence, and while I can see why it has such a cult following, I have some reservations. The texture is lightweight, and it absorbs quickly, leaving my skin feeling hydrated and refreshed. After using it for a few days, I did notice a slight improvement in my skin’s radiance, and it felt smoother, but the results weren’t as dramatic as I expected for such a high-end product. The biggest downside for me is the price. Even with the sample size, it’s clear that this product comes with a hefty price tag, and I’m not sure the benefits justify the cost. While it provides decent hydration and a mild glow, other essences or toners at a fraction of the price can deliver similar results without the financial commitment. I didn’t notice any significant changes in skin texture or fine lines, which made it harder to justify the splurge. Overall, while SK-II Facial Treatment Essence is a solid product that does deliver some hydration and radiance, the price feels too high for the subtle effects it provides. If you’re looking for more dramatic improvements or a better value, there are other products out there that may work just as well or better for your skin.

Great product

The SK-II Facial Treatment Essence is a game-changer for my skincare routine. From the first application, I noticed my skin felt more hydrated and radiant. The lightweight texture absorbs quickly, leaving no sticky residue, which I love. After using it consistently, my skin tone appears more even, and fine lines look diminished. I also appreciate that a little goes a long way, making it worth the investment. Overall, it’s a must-have for anyone looking to achieve a glowing complexion and improve skin texture. Highly recommended!

Good essence to layer before toner to tighten the

Good essence to layer before toner to tighten the skin. I use it most days at night and in the mornings right after cleanser. It makes my skin feel tighter without drying it out.

There are better

I am big into facial essences and have tried pretty a lot of them by now. Although SK-II is not necessarily bad I am not sure it is worth the hype and price. Maybe I have not tried it long enough (there are people that have been using it for years) but on the other hand some other essences have showed me visible results faster (and honestly felt better too). I might give it a shot next time I go to Japan and get the XL bottle. In the meantime I’d recommend Tatcha essence or my favorite Sulwhasoo.
