And this baby lathers up SO much! I only need to use a pea size amount as pictured. There are little bits of hydration beads in the cream which makes the cleanser feel super silky. The Creamy version is SO much better than the Gentle one – it’s not as stripping or drying. I used to get this one confused with The Extra Gentle Cleansing Foam from their “The Skincare” line. Neither of these products have strong scents.īenefiance Extra Creamy Cleansing Foam – $42 for 125ml I have a difficult time finding eye creams that are hydrating enough but do not cause milia (those little flesh coloured bumps around the eye area) and this one satisfies both criteria. The key ingredients aren’t that remarkable (glycerin, squalane, glycol and some antioxidants) but they feel very refined and they agree with my skin. I’ve just recently put away the face cream for the season but I’m still using the eye cream in thin layers in the evenings. They’re better suited for the winter months as they’re too emollient for summertime. I wrote about these items in my winter nighttime skincare routine. I’ve categorized the items into Love, Like, and Loathe.īio-Performance Advanced Super Revitalizing Cream – $92 for 50ml and Benefiance WrinkleResist24 Intensive Eye Contour Cream – $65 for 15ml I thought I’d provide a quick overview of some of the products that I’ve tried.

The line has some nice moisturizers and cleansers that I’ve repurchased – but like all brands, there are good and bad products within the range.

All of the products shown are made in Japan. Shiseido is sold primarily through department stores and inside special beauty boutiques in some drugstores. I would categorize the brand as high-end but not luxury, with the skincare above the $50 price point and mostly below $100 each. I’ve been using skincare from this brand starting about 5 years ago. I’m also by no means a guru on all things Shiseido – there are just my experiences with these products. First, let me insert my usual disclaimer here that I’m no expert on skincare – I’m just a skincare enthusiast.
