I. Love. This. Dewy, radiant skin, but not oily. An almost gel-like texture, this absorbs well, imparts the elusive glow. Of course, comprised of "HKC and bio-epo" as energizers, "bio-hyaluronic acid" for hydration, this does not supplant a healthy diet, a good skin care regimen, and the superb combination of Retin-A/AHA but rather, Bioperformance complements it. So much so, that I think foundation only mars the complexion. A first. Recommend, absolutely.

::UPDATE:: too rich for my skin. only worked a very brief time wen my skin was dry but now its normal and it made me break out.

I got a sample of this and just use it as an under-eye cream. It's very rich and moisturizing. It seems to temporarily plump up my super fine lines so that my concealer goes on smoothly to cover my dark circles. The scent is a little strong, but still pleasant.

I have a few samples at home and have tried it several times right before bed. It did leave my face feeling very smooth but somewhat greasy. It is fairly thick and is extremely scented. I would never buy it.

As always, Shiseido was on the cutting edge with this product. I used to work for Shiseido and continue to use this about once a week, or whenever my skin is very dry or stressed. I have combination skin and find that although this is a gel-cream, the ingredients are so moisturizing, and the treatment so strong, it can break me out if I use it everyday. Shiseido was one of the first major cosmetic companies to use hyaluronic acid - nothing will suck in water and hold it in the skin more than this stuff. It also contains squalene which is a heavy duty moisturizer. It also contains evening primrose oil, which heals damaged red skin (it is used on burn victims for this). This is heavy duty stuff and I do not recommend it for young acne prone skin as it can overstimulate the skin. I still can't use it everyday but it is a wondercream. For a treatment cream the price point is not bad at $67.

I love this moisturizer although I wish I didn't because it's so expensive - about $65 for a 1.7 oz jar. It's a cream with a gel-like consistency which absorbs really well and leaves my skin baby soft and glowing. I tried finding cheaper substitutes but nothing worked as well as Shiseido in relieving the dry patches around my face. I finally succumbed to purchasing this when I found it at Costco for under $50. Even my boyfriend commented that my skin looks more balanced and less flaky. Imagine my surprise when I read in People Magazine that J.Lo. uses this moisturizer-now I know part of the reason of how she gets that glow.

good looking packaging, great marketing, but POOR product. I can't imagine people are actually paying for this. If you read the rave reviews carefully, no one mentioned it improved the skin in anti-aging way--just that it moisturize well. Gosh, for that much money, one would expect that it does a heck lot more than just "moisturize well"... Either Shiseido's science is bogus or they just have unproven claims.

If I use this on my whole face it makes my combo skin break out, but I noticed that it was really helping to smooth out 'laugh lines' so I just dab a little in that area. Unfortunately this is ridiculously overpriced but I keep buying it.

This face cream has a wonderful consistency, but ultimately, I cannot use it because it's too heavy for my face. I think this would be good for someone who has really super dry skin, or who is suffering from dryness during the winter months. I used a sample of this twice, and I was afraid I was going to have a breakout and I even wiped it off my nose because it felt kind of oily.

A total staple of mine. I keep two extra jars at all times. Shiseido makes the BEST skincare products IMO.

I wanted to like this product. I really did. The promises were many, and the results were few unless you counted the zits it left on my face.After examining the package, I found it was basically PETROLEUM JELLY. This one is going back to Nordstrom, and fast.

I'll give this cream a 5, even though it's too rich for me. For those with dry skin, it would be great. No breakouts, just silky, well moisturised skin.

Bio-Performance Advanced Super Revitalizer comes in a 1.7 oz. glass jar and costs $65 USD.
It is a rich gel-consistency hydrating moisturizer that I use at night year round and for day during the winter. It keeps my combination skin very soft and well moisturized, and has a wonderful scent similar to other Shiseido products (you'll either love it or you won't!). I hate the price but a jar lasts me about 5-6 months. One thing that I have noticed is that even though I can have a shiny T zone, when I get up in the morning I am not shiny, so the product seems to absorb so well.
