SHISEIDO

My Mom gave me a 1.8 oz size of Shiseido's Clarifying Cleansing Foam. A full 125ml size is $36 as of 3/30/20. I use this cleanser once a day and it has lasted for 4 months or more. My skin is combination leaning towards dryness. I'm 46. I find the cleanser to be on the drying side. My face feels tight after using it and I sometimes compensate for the dryness by using the Shiseido Treatment softener, which my Mom also gave me. Some of the ingredients of the cleanser include Yomogi extract, white clay and micro white clay powder. It removes my Lancome Definicils mascara, but if I am going to wear foundation, I will use micellar water first. I don't feel confident the cleanser would remove all of my foundation. It may be good for that, but I have acne prone skin so I don't want to take any risks. The price seems high, but the cleanser goes a long way. You don't need much. I find that it is difficult for me to squeeze the right amount out of the tube. I usually end up squeezing out too much. I wouldn't buy this again, but I'm okay with using it. I have another 2 tubes of this (from my Mom and a GWP) and I'll put off using them for a bit as I want to try something that makes my skin feel more moist.

This is a very enjoyable luxurious cream that moisturizes the skin quite well. It is a lovely texture and scent, absorbs well, feels quite comfortable, leaves a nice finish (agrees with makeup), and does not irritate my sensitive skin. I have not used it long enough (& haven’t yet enough wrinkles) to see the impact it may have on wrinkles. I would use this cream again when my skin is needing moisture.

I received this as a sample from Sephora and thought that I would really love it, but it was a huge disappointment. This serum leaves a sticky/tacky finish and pills when I layer with my moisturizer. It doesn't work under makeup at all either, it makes my cc cream slimy and pilly at the same time. I would definitely not try this again.
