SK-II Facial Treatment Clear Lotion hydrating AHA toner, 5.4 oz — gentle exfoliating toner with PITERA™ & salicylic/lactic acids

SK-II Facial Treatment Clear Lotion is a hydrating AHA-powered toner that gently exfoliates, refines surface texture, and prepares skin for serums and moisturizers.

This lightweight lotion combines SK-II’s signature PITERA™ with mild alpha hydroxy acids to remove leftover impurities and surface dead skin cells while delivering moisture. It’s designed to be used after cleansing to boost absorption of follow-up treatments and to help skin look smoother and more even over time. The formula balances cleansing and conditioning, making it suitable for a wide range of skin types when used as directed.

What does this lotion actually do for my skin?

The Clear Lotion acts as a second cleanse and a gentle chemical exfoliant in one step. It loosens clogged surface debris, reduces dullness from dead skin, and leaves the skin’s surface feeling soft so serums and creams penetrate more effectively.

• Removes residual cleanser and impurities after washing
• Contains AHAs to shed dead surface cells
• Conditions the skin with PITERA™ for a smoother feel

How should I use it in my daily routine?

Apply after cleansing, twice daily for best results. Soak a cotton pad and sweep gently across the face, starting on the T-zone and moving outward; then follow immediately with your essence, serum, or moisturizer to lock in benefits.

• Use morning and night after your cleanser
• Wipe with soaked cotton pad in upward, outward strokes
• Follow with essence or moisturizer to maximize absorption

Is the formula suitable for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

The lotion uses mild acids (lactic and salicylic) to exfoliate; many users with normal to combination skin tolerate it well. If your skin is sensitive or you use prescription actives, introduce the product gradually and patch-test first to gauge tolerance.

• Contains lactic acid and salicylic acid in gentle concentrations
• Good for balancing normal, dry, combination, and oily skin
• Patch testing and stepwise introduction recommended for sensitive skin

What makes PITERA™ important in this lotion?

PITERA™ is SK-II’s fermented bio-ingredient that brings vitamins, minerals, and amino acids to the formula. It supports surface conditioning and helps maintain a healthy-looking skin texture when used consistently.

• Fermentation-derived blend of micro-nutrients
• Helps skin appear nourished and conditioned
• Works alongside AHAs to improve surface radiance over time

Who is this for: The SK‑II Facial Treatment Clear Lotion is aimed at anyone seeking a lightweight, conditioning toner that combines gentle exfoliation with hydration. It suits users who want smoother-feeling skin, improved product absorption, and a refined surface texture—particularly those with normal, dry, combination, or oily skin. If you use active treatments or have particularly reactive skin, begin slowly and consult a dermatologist if you have concerns.
