Details & care

What it is: An advanced sculpting cream that may help visibly lift skin to reveal a firmer, more revitalized complexion.

What it does: This face moisturizer delivers comprehensive anti-aging benefits that help to improve firmness, sagging, dark spots, uneven skin tone and deep wrinkles. Powered by new SafflowerRED, exclusively grown in Japan, and ginseng root extract, the cream strengthens your invisible nutrient network which helps maintain the natural production of collagen for a stronger moisture barrier, firmer and brighter skin.

Research results:
In a clinical test on 33 women, after 1 week:
- 100% showed a firmer, more brighter and lifted look
In a consumer test on 110 individuals, after 2 weeks:
- 93% saw less visible dark spots
- 91% saw tightened facial contours
- 84% saw less visible deep wrinkles

Key ingredients:
- SafflowerRED™: exclusively grown in Japan, supports collagen network and helps to lift, firm and make skin more even-toned
- Ginseng root extract: known to help boost natural collagen production, leaves skin firmer and brighter while strengthening skin’s moisture barrier
- Ziziphus jujuba fruit extract: helps to improve elasticity and firmness while addressing hyperpigmentation
- Caffeine: helps energize the skin and reduce dullness

How to use: Apply morning and evening, after cleansing. Take two pearl-sized drops with the enclosed spatula and place on five areas of the face (cheeks, forehead, nose, and chin). Smooth gently over the face, starting in the larger areas such as the cheeks and forehead. Spread from the center of the face outward, and then along the jawline. Apply upward pressure along the jawline with both thumbs, starting below the chin and ending below the ears. Repeat six times. Hold four fingers together, placing the pointer fingers along the nasolabial folds (laugh lines). Move upward toward the temples, pulling the nasolabial folds open, with palms flat on the cheeks. Lift, and repeat six times.

Results In A Week

I’ve tested shiseido Vital Perfection Uplifting and Firming Advanced Cream on my face for a week. No irritation and no rashes. I didn’t break out either so that’s great. The texture is smooth and creamy. I provided some pictures of the product. I should have took before and after too. Consistency, is key. After you clean your face use your serums then cream. The formula is lightweight and sets fairly easily. A little goes a long way. There’s a faint floral scent, but it does fade. My skin texture is feeling smooth and plump. My dark spots are fading. My wrinkles are not showing up where they use to. My forehead lines, are gone. My skin is looking youthful and glowing. I would love to see more from this skincare line. A boosting serum mist too would be great. complimentary from shiseido.

Must have moisturizer !

As someone with mature skin, I’m always looking for products that provide hydration without feeling greasy. This cream delivers exactly that. My skin feels plump, comfortable, and has a healthy glow after each use. While deep wrinkles don’t disappear overnight, I have noticed my complexion looks more even and lifted. A little goes a long way, making each application feel like a luxurious skincare treat. gifted by shiseido

Lovely moisturizer!

If you’re looking for a luxurious moisturizer that focuses on firmness, radiance, and overall skin rejuvenation, the Shiseido Vital Perfection Uplifting and Firming Advanced Cream is an impressive addition to your skincare routine. The rich, silky texture melts beautifully into the skin, providing deep hydration without feeling overly greasy. After several weeks of use, my skin felt noticeably smoother, more supple, and looked healthier overall. I especially appreciated how well it worked under makeup while still delivering lasting moisture throughout the day. The formula, featuring Shiseido’s SafflowerRED, ginseng root extract, and caffeine, helps promote a firmer, brighter, and more lifted appearance while addressing concerns like uneven tone and fine lines, gifted by shiseido!

Skin feels Hydrated

gifted by shiseido | this is a thick cream but even for an oily face, it goes in smooth and doesn’t feel greasy on or give that look to your skin later in the day. It makes my skin look more plump, hydrated and brighter. If my skin has been dull, i feel like it gives me a renewed look after a couple of days use. It’s beautifully packaged too.
