Kiyoko's Notes

This bestselling toner helps remove stubborn impurities to reveal your skin's true radiance and prepare it for the rest of your regimen. It is crafted with a mix of AHA and Pitera—a bio-ingredient rich in vitamins, organic acids, minerals, and amino acids—that work together to support natural skin cell renewal. The alcohol-free formula gently exfoliates while both hydrating and closing pores.

The secret behind SK-II's Pitera

SK-II's trademark product and global favorite, is their facial treatment facial essence made from 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.
