Sunny summer greetings everyone!
Today we will talk about the well-known brand Shiseido and its BENEFIANCE skincare line.
I will try to be brief and not overload with information.
What Shiseido tells us:
BENEFIANCE WrinkleResist24 line It specifically targets expression lines and deeper wrinkles, preventing their deepening. Allows you to significantly reduce the visibility of wrinkles; Helps maintain silky and smooth skin. The products are designed for women “over 40” who want to prolong the youth and freshness of their skin with daily care with 24-hour action.
The main problems are wrinkles and dry skin; for women who strive to have healthy, fresh skin without signs of aging. This woman expects reliability, comfort, a sense of well-being and long-lasting effects.
My opinion: the line is not really for women 40+. The products are not aggressive. They work delicately. More like 30-35+.
Balancing Softener Enriched
BENEFIANCE Balancing enriched softener with anti-wrinkle complex 24 hours
What is stated: A comprehensive anti-aging product containing effective components to combat the signs of skin aging. This luxurious softener perfectly moisturizes and instantly smoothes the skin. Increases the effectiveness of subsequent skin care products.
The product is actually very interesting. This is definitely not a tonic. Very rich. Really moisturizes and smoothes the skin.
Therefore, during the hot period, I refused to use day cream and left only this softener in my care. I had enough.
The manufacturer recommends applying the softner to a cotton pad and wiping the cleansed face. I took into account the recommendation of a Shiseido consultant and simply take a couple of drops of softner on my finger and apply it to my face like a cream. The rich texture of the softner allows you to perform such manipulations. Sooooo economical. After using it for 6 months, half the volume was used daily.
Day Cream SPF 15
BENEFIANCE Day cream with anti-wrinkle complex 24 hours
What is stated: A highly effective protective day cream specially designed for mature skin. Fights: Wrinkles, discoloration and loss of firmness caused by hormonal changes during aging. Protects skin from drying, pollution and the negative effects of UV radiation. Makes the skin denser and more elastic, outlines the contour of the face.
The cream is very thick and rich.
Distributes well over the skin. Doesn't leave any stickiness. BUT! We need to give it time to absorb.
Perfectly moisturizes the skin. Age-related care is not aggressive. Slow and cumulative. It took more than 3 months to evaluate the effect of this care.
Both the texture and SPF 15 indicate that the cream is intended for the autumn-winter period. In summer it will be very difficult to handle, and its protective function for the active sun is weak.
Intensive Eye Contour Cream
Eye cream with intensive anti-wrinkle complex
What is stated: A richly textured anti-aging eye cream that combats all five signs of aging in this delicate area by directly targeting the formation of wrinkles.
Maintains an optimal level of hydration throughout the day, making the skin smoother and more elastic, allowing it to look younger.
Thick, rich cream.
Good daily care. But! Night! It won't work as a makeup cream; everything will float.
Anti-aging care is not global. If there is a clear problem with age! (not caused by dehydration) wrinkles, then you can’t quite cope. Better to look for something stronger.
Night Cream
NutriPerfect Night Cream
What is stated: A highly effective restorative night cream specially designed for mature skin. Fights wrinkles, discoloration and loss of firmness caused by hormonal changes during aging. Makes the skin denser and more elastic, outlines the contour of the face. It has intense restorative properties and nourishes the skin with vitality while you sleep.
Shiseido doesn't quite have a standard here. The night cream is much more airy and gentle than the day cream.
But despite the light texture, the formula is greasy. It takes time for the cream to absorb. If you overdo it with the cream, then in the morning you can find residues on your face, cat. not absorbed.
Just like the day cream, the night cream delicately cares for your face. Well nourishes and moisturizes the skin.
But I can’t say that in the morning I look 100% fresh and rested.
Now let's summarize.
All care is in glass. The jars are heavy (you can kill them), but pretty. The fragrance is light and unobtrusive. Creams are white and soft pink. Consumption is economical.
The care is not globally age specific, but it is of high quality. If there are pronounced advanced age-related problems, look for something else.
And, since a person remembers the last phrases best, now I will write the most important thing:
All the care presented here (except for the eye cream) is intended for DRY and VERY DRY SKIN.
This was written in black and white on the packaging; the consultant brought this to me in Russian. We are not talking about any combination or oily skin. Creams will clog your pores and you will be extremely unhappy with these products; it will be difficult for you to use them. I read a lot of reviews on this treatment, which is why I focus on skin type.
There are lighter emulsions, and there are other lines that are suitable for combination and oily skin. You don’t need to just buy cream from Shiseido, approach your care wisely.
My cosmetologist once told me: a woman came for a consultation, they were discussing her skin problems, and when the cosmetologist asked what the woman used, she proudly and calmly replied that Shise />
My rating is 5. I am very pleased.
I'm glad it was useful.

Why I'm not using this - part 2: Shise >

I continue with what I will never use and why: two products from the series Shiseido Benefit.
What amazing decorative cosmetics this brand offers (though I don’t like everything), and what terrible facial care. Although this is not surprising: in the vast majority of cases, this is exactly how things are in luxury cosmetics - the decorative part is mostly beautiful, the caring part is disgusting: beautiful jars and the illusion of care.
These two products are from the series Shiseido Benefit I received them as a gift for purchasing eye shadows and lipsticks from the brand; I would not have bought them myself (these are miniatures):
.
tonic (softner) Shiseido Benefiance WrinkleResist 24 Balancing Softener Enriched (£45.50/150ml) Recommended for dry and aging skin, should intensely moisturize, smooth out wrinkles and add elasticity.
And this is partly true: it provides instant hydration, but this is achieved through cheap moisture-retaining/moisture-binding components, which at first give a wow effect - the skin instantly becomes as if filled with moisture, more elastic and elastic, but with constant use, such products are just dehydrate the skin, contribute to its irritation, it becomes more loose, receptive and sensitive, small (or large) inflammations and clogged pores may appear on it.
Plus, together with these “moisture retainers” (or rather, great deceivers), this product “kills” the skin with a large amount of alcohol (wow, it’s in second place after water, bravo!), as well as fragrance and toluene ( BHT - a highly allergenic and proven preservative that is harmful to the body, although it is allowed to be used up to a certain concentration, but you yourself understand that it is better without it).
Maybe someone is interested: this is a slippery tonic in consistency - standard for Japanese brands, it smells quite bright, is absorbed quickly, instantly makes the skin moisturized and elastic to the touch, but after some time the skin began to “suffer”, which is not surprising.
.
Compound:
.
night emulsion Shiseido Benefiance WrinkleResist 24 Night Emulsion (price £69.00/75ml) - Recommended for normal to combination skin, should reduce wrinkles and leave skin feeling silky smooth.
In fact, it seems to be a light and semi-liquid, but sticky and unpleasantly enveloping the skin, a creamy emulsion substance that creates the feeling of a film mask, you want to wash it off as quickly as possible. The effect of such products on me is the same as I described in the previous post about the Clinic - the complexion deteriorates (the skin cannot breathe normally), pores become clogged, and inflammation appears.
The composition, again, is as empty as a cork: the base is moisture-binding components, alcohol, mineral oil (two of its varieties), silicones and others like that. There is nothing scary or toxic about them, these are ordinary cosmetic fillers, but when they form the basis of a product, and in fact there is nothing else besides them, this is terrible, their cost is negligible, their the benefit is extremely doubtful, and when they are concentrated together like this, then you definitely shouldn’t expect any benefits from such a product.
What is supposed to smooth out wrinkles here is unclear; the only useful things here are a drop of squalane, a couple of plant extracts, vitamin E and a tiny amount of hyaluronic acid. Apparently glycerin. (#it's irony).

Good day to you, Hello!
Today I’ll tell you about face cream from the luxury Japanese brand SHISEIDO. Benefiance Wrinkle Resist 24 is not a cheap cream, but I bought it at a promotion - two creams for the price of one, so it turned out to be very profitable, in fact, this is where my acquaintance with this line from Shiseido began.
The cream really surprised me at the speed of getting results, literally right away I realized that this daytime face cream is very good, it suits my skin perfectly, the cream both moisturizes and nourishes the skin of the face, you must admit, not every care product works like that. After it, the face looks rejuvenated and rested, tender and soft.
Before this cream, my favorite among face creams was the Clarence brand, but they do not have a sun protection factor in my line, which is why this time I paid attention to the face cream from the Benefiance line from Shiseido, which has a sun protection factor SPF 15, which suits me quite well, protecting your facial skin from the harmful effects of sunlight is very important and necessary.
A jar of cream of a delicate gray-pearl color with pink mother-of-pearl, a gold lid. After opening the cream, the shelf life is 12 months, and before opening the jar it is at least four years.
I definitely recommend Anti-rides day cream from SHISEIDO with the anti-wrinkle complex Wrinkle Resist 24 for purchase and I hope it suits your skin as well as it suited mine. I will definitely buy this cream again and pamper my face with such a good cosmetic product. By the way, my cream is made in France, as indicated by the label on the box.
I hope my review will be useful to you.
