How the Miracle of Crystal Clear Skin started in a Sake Brewery

The fascinating story behind SK-II began at a sake brewery in Japan, where scientists noticed the elderly workers had wrinkled faces, but extraordinarily soft and youthful hands. These hands were in constant contact with the sake fermentation process. It took years of research for scientists to isolate the miracle ingredient Pitera®, a naturally-occurring liquid from the yeast fermentation process. 

Since then, SK-II with Pitera® has become the beauty regimen of many celebrities and beautiful women around Asia and the world. Today, these women have the pleasure of a luxury which the elderly Japanese women unwittingly enjoyed. Crystal clear skin.

The Miracle Discovery of the Key to Crystal Clear Skin

Over a quarter of a century ago, a chance discovery of soft and beautiful hands of sake workers inspired research into the yeast fermentation process. It took years of research for scientists to isolate the ingredient Pitera™, a naturally-occurring liquid from the yeast fermentation process.

Pitera™ is a single blend of vitamins, amino acids, minerals and organic acids that regenerates the appearance of your skin by promoting the renewal of the outer layer – enabling the skin's natural rejuvenation process. Believing this to be the 'Secret Key' to beautiful skin, we used the initials 'SK' to form the name SK-II Pitera™.
