"I laughed so much on the Bare Skin Chat set and I feel the audience is going to have a ball with this. Sometimes you want to take skincare less seriously, it shouldn't be so complicated you know. Pitera Essence has been a skincare life-changer for me." – Chloe Grace Moretz

"It was only a matter of time before I partnered with a skincare range. I'm now lathering my face in SK-II morning, noon and night!" – James Corden

"At SK-II, we like to say – if it ain't broken, break it. Over the years, beauty content has some become formulaic—glamorous ads, tutorials, how-to videos. Consumers these days don't like being pushed product or sold to. We have to behave less like a brand that is trying to sell but a brand that creates a human connection with consumers. With our iconic Pitera™ Essence, we're constantly reimagining what's possible from a content standpoint to create this real connection and engagement. This time we are launching a beauty entertainment series and we're thrilled to be able to partner with the best comedians in the industry to do this –James and Naomi. We're excited for everyone to start binge-watching this." – Sandeep Seth, Vice President, Global SK-II

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. A rigorous search of over 350 kinds of yeast was conducted before our researchers discovered the unique yeast strain from which PITERA^TM is naturally derived. PITERA™, exclusive to SK-II, is the cornerstone of the brand and transforms the five dimensions of texture, radiance, firmness, spot control and wrinkle resilience that lead to crystal clear skin.
