The SK-II concept store in Malaysia is the first of its kind and highlights the brand's signature skincare ingredient, "PITERA, derived from a proprietary yeast fermentation process."
The store's design incorporates nature-inspired materials, mirroring SK-II’s deep-rooted Japanese heritage. Elements such as "Hinoki wood and sandalwood, along with patterns inspired by Hinoki wood and the subtle fragrance of Japanese cypress," create an immersive and authentic atmosphere. The product collections are also displayed around ceramic works created by an "artisan from Shiga, the birthplace of PITERA, symbolizing the benefits of SK-II's acclaimed skincare lines."
Furthermore, SK-II introduces an innovative treatment known as the 'SK-II Skin Ceremony.' This treatment is deeply inspired by the Japanese concept of "omotenashi," embodying a series of skin rituals performed by the brand’s skilled skin aestheticians, ensuring a luxurious and personalized skincare experience.
With the launch of this concept store, SK-II continues to blend traditional Japanese craftsmanship with modern skincare innovation, providing consumers with an enriching experience.
