About SK II

SK-II is a Japanese cosmetics brand that is famous for its anti-aging products. The brand was founded in the early 1980s, but its origins date back to the 1970s, when Japanese scientists were investigating the use of more naturally derived ingredients in skincare.

The scientists were studying the fermentation process used to make sake when they noticed that the elderly workers at the sake brewery had smooth, clear, and young-looking hands. This was despite the fact that the workers were constantly handling harsh chemicals.

The scientists eventually isolated a yeast extract from the sake fermentation process that they called pitera. Pitera is a rich source of vitamins, amino acids, and minerals, and it has been shown to have a number of benefits for the skin, including improving elasticity, reducing wrinkles, and brightening the complexion.

The first SK-II product, the Facial Treatment Essence, was launched in 1980. The essence is made with pitera and other natural ingredients, and it is said to help to revitalize the skin and promote cell renewal.

SK-II quickly became a popular brand in Japan, and it has since expanded to other parts of Asia, Europe, and North America. The brand is known for its high-quality products and its commitment to innovation.

In 1991, SK-II was acquired by Procter & Gamble (P&G). P&G has helped to grow the brand internationally, and it has also invested in research and development to improve the efficacy of SK-II products.

Today, SK-II is one of the leading skincare brands in the world. The brand is known for its iconic Facial Treatment Essence, as well as its other products, which include cleansers, moisturizers, sunscreens, and serums.

SK-II is a premium brand, and its products are priced accordingly. However, the brand's loyal customers believe that the high price is justified by the quality of the products and the results they can deliver.

In the 1970s, SK-II scientists made a remarkable observation. They noticed that the hands of elderly Japanese sake brewers appeared remarkably younger than their actual age. Intrigued by this phenomenon, the scientists delved deeper into the brewers' routine.

What they discovered was astonishing. The brewers' hands were consistently immersed in fermented sake "mash" for hours each day. This led the scientists to question whether there was something inherent in the fermentation process that contributed to the brewers' youthful-looking skin. And thus began the journey of unraveling the secrets of PITERA.
