SK-II was born from a scientist's observation of the smooth, youthful hands of elderly sake brewers in Japan. This led to the discovery of Pitera™, a natural byproduct of yeast fermentation. The Facial Treatment Cleansing Oil was created for those who felt their skin was never truly clean without stripping it, a common frustration in modern, high-pollution environments. Every drop is formulated in Japan under strict GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) standards, using Pitera™ sourced from the same dedicated fermentation process used for over 40 years. It's not just a cleanser; it's the first step in the globally recognized, top-ranked SK-II ritual trusted by millions for its visible results.

The SK-II Facial Treatment Cleansing Oil 250ml is formulated with a blend of key ingredients designed to effectively cleanse and nourish the skin. Central to this product is Pitera, SK-II's proprietary ingredient derived from a yeast fermentation process, which is rich in vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and organic acids. Pitera helps to hydrate the skin, improve texture, and support the skin's natural renewal process, contributing to a radiant complexion. The cleansing oil also contains a combination of lightweight oils, such as mineral oil and caprylic/capric triglyceride, which work to dissolve makeup, sunscreen, and impurities without stripping the skin's natural moisture barrier. These oils emulsify upon contact with water, rinsing away cleanly to leave skin feeling soft and refreshed. Additionally, ingredients like glycerin are included to provide humectant properties, drawing moisture into the skin and enhancing hydration. The formulation is further enriched with antioxidants and soothing agents to protect against environmental stressors and calm the skin. Overall, this product offers a gentle yet effective cleansing experience, promoting clarity, smoothness, and a balanced, healthy-looking skin tone.
