SK II Essence Serum: How to choose the most suitable for your skin?

Probably everyone is too familiar with the popular SK-II Miracle Water series. And another perfect product of SKII but few people notice is the SK II Essence Serum. Is this product worthy of your wallet?

I – About SKII Brand

SK-II is a famous Japanese cosmetic brand. Established in 1980, this brand quickly built a strong foothold in the market. Most SK-II products use pure natural ingredients combined with high technology to provide complete skincare. And this is also a cosmetic brand trusted by many famous artists. SK-II pays special attention to research and manufacture products that “keep youth” with anti-aging, brightening, and whitening effects. And the brand’s trump card is none other than the exclusive Pitera ingredient found in every SK-II product.

Active ingredient Pitera has a whole history to it. In 1970, when visiting the Sake cellar, the godfather of SK2 noticed that the hands were smooth, not dark, or showing signs of aging of the winery workers, which contrasts the wrinkled skin on their faces. And this raises the question for the researchers whether it is because of the hand-treatment of wine yeast that they have such smooth, bright pink skin on their hands?

They researched different strains of yeast. Finally, after testing 350 strains of fungus, they revealed a liquid rich in vitamins, organic acids, amino acids, and minerals. That magical liquid changes the color of the skin, like the smooth pink hands of a sake cellar. They named the liquid Pitera. Products containing Pitera, typically SK-II, have created an enormous explosion in the beauty industry. It is a miracle that helps erase the traces of time on the face, which helps women find beautiful skin.

However, not only SK II but even SK2’s serum is a hit in the beauty community. For you to know better, we will go to the next part of the article.
