Key Ingredients
FAQ
What's the difference between the Advanced Cream and the Airy Cream?
The Advanced Cream is richer and more nourishing, designed for dry or mature skin. The Airy version is lighter and absorbs faster, better for oily or combination skin. Both contain over 90% Pitera, the difference is texture and weight.
Does Pitera cause breakouts?
Some people are sensitive to fermented ingredients. Pitera is made from yeast fermentation, which can trigger reactions in people who break out from products like kombucha extract or other ferments. If you've had issues with fermented skincare before, patch test this first.
Where can I find SK-II at Costco?
SK-II appears periodically at Costco warehouses and on their website, usually at 20 to 30% below retail. Stock varies by location and season. Check the Costco website before buying at full price elsewhere.
