Shiseido's top-selling age-defying range has fast become one of my all-time favourites. The technology, innovation, textures and results are second to none.
Shiseido is known for being one of the greatest leaders in skincare science in the industry and continues to push the boundaries year on year. With an army of scientists and countless papers produced, it’s no wonder their skincare is incredible. Shiseido was the first company to produce hyaluronic acid in the skincare industry using biotechnology. In 1887, they created Eudermin, one of the first essences (skin softeners) whose name is derived from the Greek words ‘eu’ (good) and ‘derma’ (skin). Still available today, Eudermin was a huge advancement in the world of skincare.
Fast forward 150 years, with 8 research centers worldwide and over 1200 employees solely working on research and innovation, it’s clear why Shiseido continues to shape the future of skincare.
Who is Vital Perfection for?
I love lots of Shiseido products but Vital Perfection can truly transform the skin. The technology and innovation in this range are incredible and the results are even better. Vital Perfection targets skin ageing stress such as dark spots, loss of radiance, lines and wrinkles, and facial sagging. From reducing the number and length of wrinkles to enhancing firmness and achieving a visibly lifted appearance, the results speak for themselves.
Shiseido Skincare Technologies:
-
Exclusively grown in Japan, this incredible extract has structure-improving properties that can hugely support cell cohesion. As skin ages, cell walls become weaker, the support system becomes more fragile, and collagen and elastin production declines. This variety of safflower is both nutrient-rich and can boost the skin’s regeneration process resulting in increased skin firmness and a visible reduction in fine lines.
-
This exclusive complex was created to tackle unresponsive skin and boost the effectiveness of skincare products. It can target skin damage in real time to support the skin regeneration process for fast and lasting results.
Vital Perfection Range:
Shiseido Vital Perfection Uplifting and Firming Advanced Cream
This is on of my go-to moisturiser and easily one of my all-time favourites. The texture is absolutely divine, rich yet beautifully melts into the skin and delivering the perfect level of nourishment without feeling heavy. My skin instantly feels cushioned, smooth and deeply hydrated.
Skin feels significantly more hydrated. After one week, there’s a noticeable improvement in brightness and smoothness, and with continued use over eight weeks, skin appears visibly more lifted, sculpted and radiant.
Results:
After 4hrs: Skin is +43% more hydrated
After 1 Week: Skin is +35% more lifted, firmer & brighter
After 8 Weeks: Skin is +53% more lifted, firmer & brighter
It’s particularly brilliant for 40+ skin or anyone noticing loss of firmness, elasticity and glow. Complexion looks smoother, feels stronger and appears intensely moisturised. The performance and results make this an exceptional age-defying moisturiser.
Shiseido Vital Perfection Uplifting and Firming Advanced Cream Soft
This product has everything I love about the Vital Perfection Uplifting and Firming Advanced Cream but in a stunning lightweight texture. This would be great for combination skin or in the Spring and Summer when you prefer a lighter texture.
Shiseido Vital Perfection Concentrated Supreme Cream
This cream was created to focus on increasing skin density and deliver results for skin aged 60+ years. With additional research and innovation, the exclusive Sculpturist Technology has been added to reduce skin sagging. Expect brilliant results in as little as two weeks, I find this rich, velvety and comforting moisturiser incredible.
Results:
After 2 Weeks: 90% saw more lifted, firmer and even-toned skin with improved sagging
Shiseido Vital Perfection Overnight Firming Treatment
This is a brilliant effective night cream that delivers continuous moisture to the skin overnight. Shiseido Vital Perfection Overnight Firming Treatment is their best-selling night cream, and I can see why.
Powered by Japanese-grown ingredients, including yarrow extract, the overnight firming treatment helps diminish the visible signs of daily damage whilst you sleep. I love pairing this product with retinol, the combination of repairing and regenerating leaves the skin feeling more firm and plump.
Shiseido Vital Perfection Uplifting and Firming Advanced Eye Cream
I’m onto my third jar of this Eye Cream and I cannot get enough! Vital Perfection technology just works on my skin, I’m hooked. I am completely obsessed with Shiseido Vital Perfection Uplifting and Firming Advanced Eye Cream. After using it consistently for eight weeks, the difference in my under-eye area was undeniable smoother texture, softer lines and a visibly brighter, firmer look.
What makes this formula exceptional is Shiseido’s SafflowerRED™ Technology paired with Retinol ACE, creating a treatment that’s up to three times more effective on wrinkles than retinol alone, yet gentle enough for daily use. It targets sagging, dark circles and deep lines while delivering lasting hydration.
The texture feels luxurious but absorbs beautifully, leaving the eye area plumped and refreshed. This isn’t just another eye cream; it’s advanced skincare science that genuinely delivers lifted, radiant, more youthful-looking eyes.
