The LXP Craftsmanship Series marks a new chapter in SK-II's innovation journey.

In the world of beauty, time is almost always positioned as an enemy. Wrinkles, loss of elasticity, tired-looking skin—all are often cited as “signs” to be combated. But SK-II has chosen to take a different path. With the launch of the SK-II LXP Craftsmanship Series, the Japanese prestige skincare brand invites us to view time as a friend—a journey that, when properly nurtured, can lead to increasingly beautiful, strong, and radiant skin.

Launched in Jakarta on February 12, 2026, the LXP Craftsmanship Series marks a new chapter in SK-II's innovative journey. It is the most exclusive and luxurious skincare collection ever—a confluence of cutting-edge science, high-end craftsmanship, and a beauty philosophy inspired by the Japanese art of restoration: Kintsugi.

In Kintsugi, broken ceramic pieces are not hidden, but rather reassembled with gold and lacquer—transforming the broken into something stronger, more beautiful, and more valuable. This philosophy is the soul of the LXP Craftsmanship Series: not simply creating beauty through the passage of time, but designing beauty through time and experience.

When Science Meets Craftsmanship

With over 40 years of research into skin and its iconic ingredient, PITERA™, SK-II introduces a new breakthrough they call skin interconnection —an approach inspired by spatial biology, where the skin is treated to strengthen and support the connections between its structures.

Like a craftsman reassembling each ceramic fragment with precision, SK-II LXP Craftsmanship Cream works to nurture the connections between skin structures. The result isn't an instant change, but rather a sustained improvement across multiple dimensions of skin: a more radiant, firmer, plumper complexion—a beauty that, according to SK-II, "goes beyond plateau " and continues to evolve over time.

The scientific foundation behind this innovation is more than just a claim. The findings on skin interconnection have been presented at prestigious international dermatology conferences and published in leading scientific journals worldwide—making it one of the most significant scientific breakthroughs in SK-II's history.

PITERA™ in its Purest and Precious Form

At the heart of the LXP Craftsmanship Series is SK-II's most iconic ingredient: PITERA™, in the highest concentration they've ever used. Developed over decades, PITERA™ is processed without direct heat exposure, preserving only its most precious and potent ingredients.

For the first time, the highest concentration of PITERA™ is featured as a key ingredient in SK-II LXP Craftsmanship Cream, unlocking its full potential in helping to “connect” the skin’s structure. As a touch inspired by the gold in the art of Kintsugi, the range is also enriched with Gold Silk Sericin—a rare skincare ingredient derived from natural golden silk that only comes from a species of silkworm in a specific location in the world.

The result is a series that is not only luxurious in terms of formulation, but also in concept and detail.
