SK-II Signs Eye Cream

SK-II reveals the secret key to younger looking eyes

Did you know that the eye area is the tell tale giveaway of your skin’s visual age? The eye area has the thinnest skin, yet it moves the most actively. As a result, ageing signs like dark eye circles, bags and fine lines appear earlier around the eyes than any other parts of your skin. Recognising that the ageing of the skin around the eyes is one of the first tell-tale signs of a person’s age, SK-II has developed an anti-ageing line-up specifically for this concern.

Leading Sydney based makeup artist Samantha Powell, regards SK-II’s total eye care products as her makeup bag essentials for younger, beautiful looking eyes. “Working on photographic shoots often means very early starts so the clients I work with sometimes come to me looking a little puffy and tired around the eye area. I need products that will deliver optimum results instantly. SK-II’s Eye Masks are a particular favourite as they provide an intense moisture surge for dehydrated skin under the eye area and leave skin fresh and dewy” says Samantha.

Facialist Fumi Yamamoto also says that the total anti-ageing eye solution SK-II offers is a necessity to minimise dark circles and puffiness around the eye area. “Many of my clients come to me for a solution to dark circles and tired looking eyes. They know that I can do wonders through massage techniques but in order to treat the very fine and delicate skin around the eye area, I recommend that they use either the SK-II Advanced Eye Treatment Film or SK-II Signs Eye Cream every day. The SK-II Eye Masks are also an added treat that revitalises and gives the skin under the eye a ‘lift,’ leaving it clearer and brighter in tone.”

SIGNS EYE CREAM
SK-II Signs Eye Cream is an all round intensive eye treatment designed to act on multiple ageing eye concerns. SK-II Signs Eye Cream firms skin and reduces the appearance of dark circles, fine lines and wrinkles around the total eye area. SK-II Signs Eye Cream contains a unique blend of seven specially selected ingredients, helping to revive the look around the eye area.
Key ingredients:
* Concentrated SK-II Pitera® conditions the skin
* Tetrapeptide helps to improve firmness and reduce dullness
* Rice sterol, a pure plant emollient derived from rice, is effective in hydrating the delicate skin around eyes that is prone to dryness

How to use:
1. After cleansing, clarifying and applying Facial Treatment Essence, drop a pea sized amount on your fingertip using the spatula provided
2. Spread thinly over the eye area and gently pat the product onto skin, using the pad of your ring finger only
3. Smooth in the product with gentle upward strokes to avoid pulling the thin and delicate skin around the eyes
4. When applied, Signs Eye Cream “melts” and evenly blends into skin around the eyes. Continued usage keeps the eye area firm and translucent whilst being gentle on the delicate eye area

Signs Eye Cream (15gm) RRP $145 AUD

All products in the SK-II eye care line-up are available at SK-II counters in Myer and David Jones nationwide

The discovery of Pitera

More than twenty years ago led to the creation of SK-II’s first skincare product, Facial Treatment Essence, in 1980.
With more than 90% pure Pitera – the highest quantity in the SK-II range – Facial Treatment Essence is known as the ‘miracle water’ in Japan and is designed to boost the moisture intake of the skin, smooth texture and provide life to dull looking and tired areas, while keeping skin at its optimal condition. Pitera is a natural blend of amino and organic acids, vitamins and minerals which have been proven to reveal radiant and crystal clear skin, as well as improving skin’s resilience, and softness.

SK-II Skin Signature Range

THE LATEST DISCOVERY IN SKIN SCIENCE – SK-II INTRODUCES ITS NEW SIGNATURE SERIES SKINCARE RANGE

We are all aware of the stress our skin encounters on a daily basis through poor diet, air pollution, UV exposure and hormonal imbalance, so it’s no wonder that our skin loses its ability to maintain its radiance and firmness as we age. Going right to the heart of fundamental skin care, SK-II has developed the NEW SK-II Signature Series range to target these external stresses and to help to restore skin’s firmness and radiance – giving the skin back its own natural ‘power.’
Driven by the insight that the skin loses its resilience as we age, SK-II scientists began investigating the concept of Skin Power, the skin’s own natural ability to withstand stress and maintain its texture, radiance and firmness. Delving further the study revealed the existence of a Skin Tipping Point. As our Skin Power declines with age, there is a tipping point marked by a sudden
change that typically occurs in the 30s.

Misa Ito, SK-II Scientific Communications Manager explains, “As you age, your skin undergoes different changes. Whilst these may not seem prominent at the start, as the changes accumulate, the signs of ageing become more obvious as the outer layer of the skin is exposed to damage such as oxidation, UV exposure and moisture loss. So, our skin’s ‘power’ is determined by two key
aspects: the skin’s tolerance – which protects the skin from stress and the skin’s ability to regenerate itself. ”

These new insights prompted SK-II scientists to start looking for the key to restoring Skin Power and prolonging one’s Skin Tipping Point and found the key may lie in the Anti-Oxidant Response Element (ARE1). ARE is a naturally-occurring ‘’control tower” in the skin which activates the production of anti-oxidants in the skin to combat ageing stress. SK-II’s advanced research
has discovered that ARE activity diminishes with age and this leads to a vicious cycle that impacts the skin’s natural ability to restore its firmness, smoothness and radiance.

Breakthrough Ingredient – Oli-Vityl:
Intensive investigation of hundreds of ingredients brought SK-II scientists to the discovery of Oli-Vityl, a new naturally derived ingredient from an olive species that thrives in Tuscany. This breakthrough ingredient helps the skin’s ability to regenerate and restore its original Skin Power. When combined with Pitera™, Oli-Vityl amplifies its efficacy and promotes anti-oxidant proteins
in the skin. The combination of Pitera™ and another new ingredient – Signaline™ work together to supply lost nutrients back to the skin. When combined with new Oli-Vityl, this anti-ageing cocktail boosts the skin’s production of collagen and hyaluronan (the skin’s ability to regenerate itself). All of the Signature Series range contains new Oli-Vityl.

The Signature Series line up:
SK-II’s NEW Signature Series was born to help the skin sustain its original youthful beauty:
Skin Signature Skin Signature (the hero product of the range – a daily moisturiser for both day and night) (80g) RRP$195
Skin Signature 3D Redefining Mask (a stretchable cloth-like mask which fits to the contours of the face) (6 pieces) RRP$180
Skin Signature Cream-In Foundation Compact (a foundation that cares for the skin (10.5g) RRP$100

Beauty by Design with the Signature Series
Another breakthrough innovation of the Skin Signature Series is its in-store counseling philosophy of helping women to design their beauty. The Beauty Design System involves two aspects: helping women map their known skin needs and helping them discover their unknown skin needs. Known skin needs include the visible signs of ageing like fine lines, wrinkles and sagging.
What is groundbreaking about the new counseling system is that it helps women identify their unknown skin – unknown skin needs are such things as future pigmentation and skin discolourations that are not always visible to the naked eye. From there, SK-II’s beauty counselors can help women design a personalised Skin Signature Series regimen to address specific skin needs.

Availability & pricing: The Beauty Design System is currently available at SK-II counters at David Jones and Myer and the new SK-II Skin Signature Range will be available at SK-II counters at David Jones and Myer from August 15th 2009 onwards.
