There will be two new SK-II products coming to Asian markets in August/September. These are :
1) R.N.A Power - Radical New Age (Japan release on 21/8/15)
2) R.N.A Power - Radical New Age Essence (Japan release on 5/9/15)
Samples of the first product will be available in Japan at counters starting 21/7/15.
These products look very similar to the existing Stempower products :
Are these 2 RNA Power products meant to exist side by side with Stempower? Or will they phase out stempower and replace them with the RNA? And will we get an RNA Power Eye Cream + wand eventually?
There is no sign that these new products use OBJ tech in their initial form (no wand or obvious applicator). But who knows? Perhaps this is a reformulation of stempower designed to work even better with our tech and they will release the applicator(s) for both these products later (as they did with the eye cream). It sure would be nice to see some wands in that picture, but they never make it easy for us do they.

update : if you look at that third link, this is a Chinese page that provides the English and Chinese names :
Product Name (Chinese): 肌源赋活修护精华霜
Product Name (English): SK-II RNAPOWER RADICAL NEW AGE
When I translate that Chinese name to English I get :
"muscle source Cream revitalizes"
... which is very similar to the translation of the Stempower cream's Chinese name into English :
"muscle source Firming Cream"
yes thats convoluted, but it indicates to me that the RNA is likely to replace stempower.
