Infused with Pitera™ complex, SK-II's signature ingredient derived from sake fermentation, this iconic essence is designed to dramatically improve your skin's texture, clarity, and radiance. It works to balance skin's pH levels, control oil and sebum production, and enhance the skin's natural renewal cycle. Fine lines and wrinkles appear diminished, leaving skin smoother, firmer, and more translucent. Suitable for all skin types, it prepares the skin to better absorb subsequent skincare products.
