At the SK-II Pop Up Studios, consumers will discover their skin's potential to achieve an ageless, radiant complexion through one-on-one personalized consultations with expert Skin Counselors using the new imaging technology.

The Beauty Imaging System™ is the latest breakthrough in beauty innovation. This unique analysis device predicts the skin's visible age to help determine a SK-II product ritual designed exclusively for an individual's skin concerns. It works by capturing close-up images of the face using a digital camera and then analyzes the images based on the five dimensions of crystal clear, ageless skin: Texture Refinement, Firmness Power, Wrinkle Resilience, Radiance and Tone. Used over time, SK-II users can track their improvement and how their skin fares with age.

The SK-II Pop Up Studios will showcase the brand's rich history and 'Secret Key' ingredient found in all of the products, Pitera™ - an exclusive extract from a unique strain of yeast, produced only in Japan. This singular blend of vitamins, amino acids, minerals, and organic acids allows the skin's natural surface rejuvenation process to function at its prime. The hero of the SK-II skincare collection is Facial Treatment Essence, with 90% pure Pitera™ in every bottle.

SK-II Skin Counselors will be on hand at the studios to provide consumers with:

About SK-II
For more than 30 years, SK-II has touched the lives of millions of women around the world by helping them to "Live Clear" through the miracle of crystal clear skin and life. 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-looking 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^TM, a naturally-derived liquid from the yeast fermentation process. Since then, SK-II with Pitera^TM has become a special secret shared by celebrities such as Cate Blanchett and women around the world, transforming skin to crystal clarity. Available in multiple markets across the globe, SK-II continues to deliver the transformative power of crystal clear skin and life through well-loved products including the iconic Facial Treatment Essence.
