SK-II: SK-II is known for its signature Pitera, the active ingredient found in most of the SK-II line. Recent Japanese research showed that women’s skin reaches a “tipping point” at around age 35, which means this is about the age you start showing your age. (How much did they pay for that research, I wonder? Anyway.)

Enter SK-II’s new Skin Signature Cream. It contains Pitera, vitamins, and an olive oil derivative. It is extremely hydrating and you just need to use a little bit for a silky complexion. My face felt soft all day, even after multiple trips out into the frozen tundra that is NYC lately.
