Here is how to apply Pitera on the skin that the brand recommends:

• Clean your face for better absorption of the toner step.
• Pour the SK II Pitera on a cotton pad to make it wet enough.
• Start wiping cotton pads on your skin from the area that needs to treat; for example, oily skin should start with the T-zone.

• Finish applying SK II toner by patting the skin as shown in the last picture
