  The non-Hermitian skin effect can be realized through asymmetric hopping
between forward and backward directions, where all the modes of the system are
localized at one edge of a finite 1D lattice. However, achieving such an
asymmetric hopping in optical systems is far from trivial. Here we show
theoretically that in a finite chain of 1D exciton-polariton micropillars with
symmetric hopping, the inherent non-linearity of the system can exhibit a
bi-skin effect, where the modes of the system are localized at the two edges of
the system. To show the topological origin of such modes, we calculate the
winding number.
