P&G Prestige announced SK-II’s first hand cream, SK-II Hand Treatment Cream, on October 28.
A hand cream containing Pitera and niacinamide
The formula contains Pitera, SK-II’s proprietary galactomyces ferment filtrate, as a skin-conditioning and moisturizing ingredient, and niacinamide for care of dryness-related damage. The company positions it as a product that applies its skincare expertise to hand care.
The scent is inspired by mizunara oak, combining a woody base note with fruity and floral nuances.
A droplet-shaped container with a strap
The rounded container takes its motif from a drop of Pitera. Its metallic cap is inspired by Facial Treatment Essence, and it features a strap designed with portability in mind.
How to apply it from the backs of the hands to the nails
The company recommends placing a small pearl-sized amount on the back of one hand and gently working it in with circular movements using the opposite palm. Apply to the other hand in the same way, then bring both hands together to distribute it evenly. Spread it around the nails and onto the cuticles as well.
