An Aura Essence with Aura Complex and Pitera™, it reduces your skin's hidden and visible spot formations to reveal a brighter aura glow. SK-II discovered via its first-in-the-world research that UV exposure damages the skin by causing invisible spots and cloudy appearance at the same time. This has inspired the launch of SK-II's GenOptics Aura Essence containing an infusion of Prunus extract and Pitera™, in addition to active a brightening ingredient, D-melano P3C™ to tackle spots and skin clouds before they surface. Genoptics Aura Essence contains Pitera in every bottle. A clear liquid rich in vitamins, amino acds and minerals, Pitera™allows the skin's natural surface rejuvenation process to function at its prime. This unique ingredient was discovered over 35 years ago and remains essentially unchanged until even today. Impossible to create artificially, Pitera™ is the perfect element to improve the skin's natural surface rejuvenation process. 1.6 oz. Made in Japan.
