This product has been around since the 1990s when I first used it as a teenager. This is a refreshing cleanser that can be nice to have on hand for occasional use. I would not recommend it for your daily cleanser. When used over time, it consistently made me have small break outs. Not anything too bad, but the kind you know are abnormal and a reaction to a product. I feel it can also become …Read more
Perfection. Smells terrific, feels terrific, works terrific. I use this as my night cream. I take a small amount and emusify/warm it in my palms and then gently massage it on my face and neck. I have been using this for over two months and I'm not even half way through the jar, and I am not stingy with products. This cream is just very dense and concentrated. You definitely get your …Read more
This claims right on the front of the tube "anti puffiness/dark circles". Has absolutely no effect on my dark circles. Nothing. I can't say how it works on puffiness, since I don't experience that. I can say that products that do work on puffiness has a tightening effect and this does not. This product is being discontinued (I saw it on the Shiseido website under …Read more
I've noticed my face has been red since using this cream, like I spent a little too much time out in the sun. It has a very heavy, cloying fragrance. This cream really is for dry skin, it is very thick and heavy, I don't know why it is labeled for "normal" skin. It has the ability to clog pores once in a while. It does provide decent moisture and the "barrier" …Read more
Very good moisturizing and softening effects. The original is by far superior to the sensitive, which actually made my face sting badly! I hate the fragrance of this though, cheap and "girly" smelling and takes a long time to fade. The squeeze bottle isn't very effective, every application is a bit of a surprise as to how much you'll get, and it clogs. Believe it or not …Read more
I can't get over the fact that this is one of the best lip balms I have ever tried and is so inexpensive. I love it! Glides on SO smoothly and lasts a long, long time on the lips.
Quite different from what you would expect from something called a cleansing brush, in all the right ways. It feels soft and relaxing on the face. I have had mine for around two years now, and it looks and feels like I just took it out of the box, so this product is manufactered to last. I've dropped it more times than I care to admit, and the stand it comes with really protects the …Read more
All in all, I am pleased with this night cream. Very good quality for a low price. I bought this for the simple purpose of moisturizing at bedtime and this works well.
I have two issues with this product. First, it is initially difficult to determine how much to use. I found myself wondering if I put too much or too little on. Second, this product has zero "slip". It absorbs …Read more
Excellent product range, if you choose your products wisely. It keeps my skin immaculately clean, smooth, even and healthy. There seems to be at least three different products for each step, so it can be tricky. My advice is to lean towards the more moisturizing choice and research online for descriptions/reviews. When you go to the counter all the choices can be overwhelming, so it is a good …Read more
This is good stuff. Very hydrating and refreshing, and really helps your moisturizer sink in deeply. Shiseido seems to be THE experts on softeners. Don't go into this thinking it is cleansing, softeners are actually part of the moisturizing process. Use with the Shiseido Facial Cotton and you are good to go. I recommend this for normal to dry skin. If you are on the oily side, get the …Read more
