This SK-II Skin Signature series is created based on the philosophy of skin, where skin, just like a living sentient, has its own power to repair, withstand environmental abuse and the internal and external stress and maintaining its firmness and texture and this cycle will help skin to maintain its attractiveness. However, nothing stays forever, and sooner or later the skin power will diminish with age and hit the Skin Tipping Point. This is a point where there is a drastic loss of elasticity and it normally occurs in the 30’s. In reality, the SKIN POWER can be calculated with state of the art skin mapping device that detects changes in skin via different stress levels like the SPQ detector and SkinPhone detector.

The greater the SPQ value, the more Skin Power you posses and this SPQ ( Skin Power Quotient ) tells the condition of your skin. If you are free from lines at the compressed skin area when using the SPQ detector, you are rated as SPQ3 meaning higher skin power, if you are rated with SPQ 2, it means your skin power is declining and at SQP 1, you need to do something as your skin is already aging.
