Kiyoko's Notes

A gentle, ultra-hydrating and luxurious cleansing foam 

SK-II’s bestselling Facial Treatment Cleanser is formulated to an ultra-hydrating wash, leaving skin comfortably conditioned and velvety smooth. The creamy formula lathers on with a fine texture, and then bubbles into a luxurious cleansing foam, purifying and moisturizing the skin.

This facial cleanser is a highly effective makeup remover, and is infused with concentrated Pitera™—SK-II’s exclusive active ingredient rich in vitamins, organic acids, minerals, and amino acids—as well as white willow extract to effectively remove embedded impurities around and inside pores, leaving skin feeling clean and fresh.

The secret behind SK-II's Pitera

The legend of Pitera started when Japanese scientists noticed that Japanese elderly laborers who worked closely in the sake fermentation process had amazingly youthful looking hands despite these laborers being elderly. SK-II scientists followed this phenomenon and later discovered that the sake fermentation process contained Pitera, an ingredient found in the fermented yeast of the sake brewing process. Hence, SK-II is the only company in the world that has access to this specially patented ingredient.
