You don’t have to cross the seven seas to reach the fountain of youth; in fact, you don’t even have to leave the country. Initially launched at Singapore’s ChangiAirport, the new SK-II Stempower Essence is now available islandwide at all SK-II beauty counters.
Featuring the new Stem-Acanax ES complex which contains (of course) Pitera along with artichoke and kinren extract, the new Stempower Essence can supposedly can give you poreless-looking bouncy skin in just two weeks. How do they do it? After extensive studies, SK-II has unveiled that the key to our skin’s youthful beauty lies in the “Master Switch”, otherwise scientifically known as Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor (AHR).

AHR is responsible for cell functions such as regeneration, longevity and anti-oxidant activity. By triggering the “Master Switch”, it’ll respond by generating anti-oxidants and activating the longevity gen, thus enhancing both protective and regenerative cell action. This ultimately results in better-looking skin.
SK-II Stempower Essence is available from 1 August 2013 at SK-II counters at leading department stores. Youth does not come cheap though; the recommended retail price is $156 (30ml) and $224 (50ml).
