Spots, when they occur, seem nearly impossible to erase – SK-II has now found a newly discovered reason why, and the solution to reducing dark spots. A vicious cycle of spots and skin damage results in spots being harder to remove, according to SK-II’s latest intelligence on hyperpigmentation. With SK-II’s new Whitening Spots Care Series, now comes SK-II’s most revolutionary spots-fighting technology to date, engineered to break the spots vicious cycle.

In-depth skin science research by SK-II has revealed a feedback loop between spots and skin damage – where spots formation damages skin, and the subsequent damage triggers the appearance of more spots. This newly discovered vicious cycle is the reason why spots are so tough to remove once it starts. When a spot forms, the skin around it becomes damaged, thereby causing a decline in skin turnover, a loosened basement membrane and chronic inflammation of the skin. This skin damage stimulates the mechanisms in our cells that produce melanin, melanocyte cells, to go into overdrive and overproduce the pigment, worsening the appearance of spots. As this cycle of spots and damage perpetuates, it becomes increasingly hard to erase dark spots.

SK-II Whitening Power Spots Specialist

Key to winning against spots, even where skin is damaged, is breaking the spots vicious cycle. SK-II’s powerful Ultimate Spots Corrector, featured in the new Whitening Power Spots Specialist, is the result of five years of whitening technology research and development and does much more than just reducing spots. Touted as the most revolutionary spot-fighting technology to date, SK-II’s latest innovation also acts on existing skin damage to prevent the formation of more spots.

SK-II Spots Care & Brighten Day Cream

A companion to Whitening Power Spots Specialist is the new Spots Care & Brighten Day Cream, designed to defend skin against daytime damage and lighten the appearance of spots immediately. It contains the Day Ultimate Spots Corrector – a complex made up of 3 key ingredients – Day Vitamin Booster, De-melano P3C® and Pitera™. A UV sensing capsule, Day Vitamin Booster gradually releases vitamins for the skin when stimulated by UV exposure. The whitening active in De-melano P3C® travels deep into skin surface lasting for up to 12 hours. The 2 ingredients work together with Pitera™ to protect skin from daytime damage. The cream is also specially formulated to adhere tightly to dark spots for an immediate brightening effect.

SK-II has also launched a new Spots Odds Index , a measurement system designed to determine a person’s spots risk to help recommend a tailored solution for tackling the problem of spots. Available at SK-II counters, taking the Magic Ring skin analysis and Spots Odds Index will help assess one’s risk of developing both visible and hidden spots over time based on her lifestyle, skin condition and skincare habits.
