The key to Pili Ani’s skin-care line is the nutritionally rich pili nut, which grows wild on trees in the Philippines. Most commonly eaten as a sweet, high-protein snack, the nuts also provide a natural source of antioxidants and linolenic acid, which is said to have anti-inflammatory and moisture-retentive properties when applied to the skin. Pili Ani’s Intense Hydrating facial cream and facial oil both feature high concentrations of pili oil; used in tandem, the skin-softening and anti-aging treatments make a luxurious, functional addition to your regimen.
At $110 for the lotion (1.76 ounces) and $125 for the oil (1.35 fl oz.), the Pili Ani system costs about the same as other high-end serum and moisturizer duos. Japanese brand SK-II sells slightly larger bottles of its R.N.A. Power face cream (2.8 oz.) and facial treatment essence (2.5 fl oz.) to a cultlike following for $230 and $99, respectively. But these products are for skin-care junkies—an average user might not notice the difference between them and, say, an $18 tub of L’Oréal Revitalift and the $23 RoC Retinol Correxion deep-wrinkle serum available at most drugstores.
