"Micro Muscle Rejuvenating Repair Essence Cream" is called the expensive "Big Red Bottle" because of the red color of the whole body. Since its launch, it has been the most controversial cream product for SK-II, with mixed reviews – some saying it's easy to use and helpful, while others think it's too irritating and the reviews are polarizing. Although there is a lot of controversy, the sales volume is also high, and it has been enthusiastically sought after by consumers.
Like the fairy water, the big red bottle also contains PITERA™, the core ingredient that SK-II is most proud of, as the basis of the nutritional content. PITERA™ is a type of yeast fermentation extract, which is not a single nutrient, but a combination of multiple ingredients - it contains a large number of minerals, amino acids, peptides and vitamins. Thanks to its slight exfoliating action, PITERA™ exfoliates excess keratin, improves permeability, enhances the absorption of nutrients, and promotes cell regeneration.
However, promoting cell regeneration is not the same as repairing the skin, on the contrary, because of the premise of "light exfoliation", some users with a damaged barrier, thin stratum corneum or sensitive skin are also excluded from the people who are suitable for PITERA™. In other words, Big Red Bottle is not a restorative cream, it avoids people with problem skin and targets users with healthier skin, making it the "icing on the cake" type product that makes healthy skin even better.
In addition to PITERA™, the big red bottle also adds antioxidant botanicals such as Cleaner Group's patented whitening niacinamide, chlorella, and eleuthero extract, which not only optimizes the skin texture, but also has the effect of whitening and moisturizing. The addition of hydrolyzed yeast, hydrolyzed soy protein and peptides in the cream can induce the production of facial hyaluronic acid, which can not only shrink enlarged pores, but also have a significant effect on filling dry fine lines on the face and preventing aging.
The big red bottle contains avocado ingredients and has a texture similar to yogurt. Compared with Japanese brands such as DECORTÉ, CPB, POLA, etc., the big red bottle is thick but not thick, and can be used for light oil to light dry skin. Not only is it easy to absorb, but it also regulates the balance of water and oil, leaving the skin feeling fresh and dry and comfortable. For "Big Oilfield" users, Big Red Bottle has also launched a refreshing type with the same ingredients, a lighter texture, and can prevent the skin from feeling greasy and sticky when used in the hot summer.
