Research of SK-II Pitera™ began in 1970. SK-II began at a sake brewery in Japan. Scientists noticed the elderly
workers had wrinkled faces but extraordinarily soft and youthful-looking
hands Observation of the soft and youthful hands of sake brewers inspired the research into the yeast fermentation
process. From there, a rigorous search of over 350 strains of yeast was conducted before researchers discovered the unique yeast strain from which Pitera™ is naturally derived.

Advertorial victim (LOL)

The texture is almost like clear water but the color is little bit yellow compared to water. I smeel slightly scent like fermented product when i used it at the first time. But for the next application, i don't smeel anything.
There is two ways to use this product.
1. Pour of the essence on your hand and
gently pat it on your face.
2. Pour it on cotton
pad and gently pat it to your face around 1 minutes.
I use second method because the staff told me that makes product much absorbed by face. For the first method, the essence will be absorbed by hand.
RESULT:
It feels like water on my skin. My skin absorbs it quickly like drink it. I feel like nothing left on my face, like i don't put anything when it dries.
1 week after usage, i felt my skin becomes supple, well hydrated and acne spots were faded out. I have tried my products to relieve the spot, but nothing works. I also fell it brighten up my complexion, giving me healthy looking skin. Hmmm.. how to describe it... It does not make your skin look very white pale. My skin looks so dewy, like glowing from inside. My hubby gave me compliment about this. Every morning when he kisses me while i'm asleep, he fell that my skin looks so glowing. When i have acne, i pour the essence into thin layer of cotton and put
it on acne area. It really calms my acne. The acne gets dry faster. I also use it on my under eye area. It helps brighten my dark circle.
2 week after usage, acne spots were completely gone. My skin became much better. No more new acne.
4 weeks after usage, I notice that my pores become smaller. It heals my acne scar too. My skin texture is much better. Not mention that my skin complexion is brighter.. I love the healthy glowing skin it gives. Ya, my skin is glowing like model's skin on beauty product advertorial. I'm not lying. After using this product, my skin has less skin problem.
I'm very impressed by SK-II. I agree if this is called as Miracle Water which bring skin radiance as clear as cystal.

FACIAL TREATMENT CLEAR LOTION REVIEW
Lotion in Japanese skincare refers to toner. It takes out remaining dirt on your face after cleansing and prepare skin to absorp essence.
The texture is like clear water. I don't smell alcohol which makes me love it.
Direction: Pour on cotton pad and swipe all over your face gently. Avoid eye area.
It really takes all the dirt. It also doesn't sting my sensitive skin. Don't use it more than twice a day or it wil make your skin dry
For the mask, i have never tried it but i'm sure i will love it. I'm waiting for a special occasion to use it.
Overall, i'm very impressed by SK-II Pitera set. I really recommend it. Unfortunately, it is so pricey. BUT... You get what you pay.. Gonna save more to buy the new one if I finish this.
