SK-II Genoptics Aura Essence-50ml

What it is: a brightening serum designed to enhance the skin's natural radiance and improve its overall clarity.

What it does: Formulated with a unique blend of PITERA™ and GenOptics™ technology, this essence targets dark spots, uneven skin tone, and dullness. It helps to visibly reduce the appearance of pigmentation while promoting a luminous complexion. Lightweight and easily absorbed, it is suitable for all skin types and is often used as a part of a daily skincare routine to achieve a brighter, more even skin tone.

What is PITERA™: SK-II’s proprietary, natural bio-ingredient derived from fermentation. It improves multiple dimensions of visible skin damage and aging. It is made exclusively in Japan for SK-II.

PITERA™ Origin: In the 1970s, SK-II scientists noticed the hands of elderly Japanese sake brewers looked decades younger than their age.

Realizing the brewers’ hands were immersed in fermented sake “mash” for hours a day, the scientists wondered if something in the fermentation process kept the skin looking younger. Further research into this process led to the discovery of PITERA™, a naturally derived liquid from yeast fermentation.

What’s Makes PITERA™ Unique: PITERA™ contains over 50 micro-nutrients including antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and amino acids to nourish and improve your skin from multiple dimensions, reducing visible skin damage.
