The SK II Facial Treatment Essence with pump 11 fl oz is the legendary “miracle water” that started the global Pitera™ craze more than 40 years ago. This lightweight, watery essence contains over 90% Pitera™ – a unique yeast-derived ingredient discovered by SK-II scientists when they noticed sake brewers in Japan had amazingly youthful hands. Today, millions of women (and men!) around the world swear by this SK II Pitera essence as the one step that transformed their skin.
If you want a smoother texture, smaller-looking pores, more radiance, and fewer fine lines, the SK II Facial Treatment Essence large size with a convenient pump is perfect for daily morning-and-night use. The generous 11 fl oz (330 ml) bottle lasts 4–6 months when used twice a day, making it the smart choice for loyal fans.
What Makes SK II Facial Treatment Essence So Special?
At its heart is Pitera™, a clear liquid created through a special yeast fermentation process that takes up to six weeks. This natural bio-ingredient is packed with vitamins, amino acids, minerals, and organic acids that mimic the skin’s own Natural Moisturizing Factors (NMF).
SK-II says Pitera™ can reach up to 10 layers deep to help skin regenerate from within. With consistent use (morning and night), most people notice:
- Fewer visible fine lines and wrinkles
- Firmer, bouncier skin
- Smaller-looking pores
- Smoother, softer texture
- More even skin tone and less dullness
- That famous “crystal clear,” glowing look
The SK II anti-aging essence is gentle enough for every skin type – normal, dry, oily, or combination – and many people with sensitive skin love it too (always patch-test first).
Who Is the SK II Facial Treatment Essence with Pump 11 fl oz Perfect For?
This large bottle with a pump is made for people who are serious about skincare and ready to commit to a simple yet powerful routine.
You’re the ideal user if you:
- Are in your late 20s, 30s, 40s or older and want to slow visible aging
- Notice dullness, rough texture, or uneven tone
- Want glowing, dewy skin instead of heavy makeup
- Already have a basic routine (cleanser → SK II essence before moisturizer → serum → cream)
- Love luxury skincare and don’t mind investing in proven results
- Prefer a lightweight layer that absorbs instantly without greasiness
The 11 fl oz pump bottle is especially great because it’s hygienic, easy to use every single day, and saves money per ounce compared to smaller sizes.
Perfect for These Common Skin Concerns
- SK II essence for fine lines and early wrinkles
- SK II essence for uneven skin tone and dark spots
- SK II essence for oily skin (controls oil while hydrating)
- SK II Facial Treatment Essence for dry skin (deep hydration without heaviness)

How to Use SK II Facial Treatment Essence Correctly (Step-by-Step)
Using it the traditional Japanese way gives the best results:
- Cleanse your face gently.
- Pour 3–5 drops (or 2–3 pumps) of SK II Facial Treatment Essence into your palm.
- Rub hands together lightly to warm the essence.
- Pat gently all over your face and neck – don’t rub!
- Wait 30–60 seconds until fully absorbed.
- Follow with serum and moisturizer.
Do this morning and night. Most people see brighter, softer skin in 1–2 weeks and bigger changes after 1–3 months.
