SK-II Genoptics Spot Essence is a targeted serum that reduces your skin's hidden and visible spot formations to reveal a brighter aura glow. The brand discovered through innovative research that UV exposure damages skin by causing invisible spots and cloudy appearance at the same time, which inspired the launch of the Genoptics Aura Essence-containing an infusion of Prunus extract, Pitera and D-melano P3C, a brightening ingredient, in every bottle. Pitera is a clear liquid rich in vitamins, amino acids and minerals that work together to allow the skin's natural surface-rejuvenation process to function at its prime. This unique ingredient was discovered more than 35 years ago and remains essentially unchanged until today. Impossible to create artificially, Pitera is the perfect element to improve the skin's natural surface-rejuvenation process. Place one to two pumps on palm of hand and dot onto forehead, cheeks and chin.
