The new STEMPOWER Essence is backed by extensive research on the skin aging process and the first-in-the-world discovery of the skin cell’s very own “Master Switch” – the secret to activating youth activity at the heart of each cell. In search of the ideal solution to youthful beauty, scientists at SK-II have conducted more than 7,900 hours of extensive skin research, culminating in the design of the STEMPOWER Essence that empowers women to achieve a new peek in youthful beauty. Powered by the new Stem-Acanax ES Complex that features Stem-Acanax, Pitera™, Artichoke Extract and new Kinren Extract to help transform the source of skin’s youth activity.
The new standard for youthful beauty is one that is not only smooth, but also visibly poreless-looking and bouncy. This refers to skin that has a higher skin inner resilience and elasticity. However, as we age, our skin loses its inner resilience, and results in our pores losing the power to close after sebum secretion. For young skin, pores close naturally after sebum secretion.
SK-II developed an intuitive measure called Aging Speed to quantify the difference between the rate at which women’s skin ages versus their chronological age. SK-II scientists have discovered that women with a slower aging speed had skin that looked younger than their chronological age while women with a faster speed had skin that looked older than their chronological age.
SK-II’s in-depth research into stem cells show that epidermal root cell activity declines with age, causing what is known as ‘radical firmness’ of the skin to decline, leading to the appearance of common signs of aging like sagging, fine lines and wrinkles, loss of radiance, sallow complexion and an accelerated aging speed.
SK-II has unveiled that turning on our skin’s “Master Switch” enables the protection of epidermal root cells, by optimising its environment and boosting skin’s inner resilience for poreless-looking bouncy skin in just two weeks.
The “Master Switch” lies within our epidermal root cells and is triggered when external or internal factors act on our skin. Switching on of our “Master Switch” regulates our cell environment resulting in protein production to increase and enhance our inner cell density.
When used together with the SK-II STEMPOWER (right), the dynamic duo is able to provide :
• Almost 200% increase in penetration of skin active ingredients than just the STEMPOWER alone
• Almost 200% increase in hydration levels in skin as compared to using the STEMPOWER alone
SK-II STEMPOWER boasting the SK-II Stem-Acanax Complex, has been shown to slow down the signs of aging speed by restoring 10 years of ‘radical firmness’ in 10 days.
