The History of PITERA™
The story behind SK-II starts with a search to understand why elderly sake brewers had wrinkled faces, but extraordinarily soft and youthful-looking hands.
It took years of research for scientists to find that it was the ingredient PITERA™ that was keeping the hands of these brewers looking smooth.
This naturally derived ingredient is crafted from a proprietary fermentation process of a unique yeast strain.
