Shiseido Ultimune Concentrate

Look, I’ll level with you, my skin’s been a bit of a moody cow lately, and I’m not here for it. Enter the Shiseido Ultimune Power Infusing Concentrate!

Why It’s Got Me Hooked

This isn’t some watery serum that does sod all. It’s a proper powerhouse, think of it as a pep talk for your skin’s defenses. Shiseido bangs on about boosting immunity or whatever, but all I know is my face feels plumper and less knackered after a week. The 30ml bottle’s dinky, fits in my cluttered bathroom drawer, but a couple of drops go miles. I’ve been using it morning and night, and it’s like my skin’s stopped throwing tantrums.

My 3-Day Skin Test: Does It Actually Work?

I’m not one for faffing with lab coat claims, so I gave it a proper go, here’s the lowdown:

Day 1: Post-cleanse, two drops, bit tingly. Skin’s still a mess, cheers, stress, but feels softer already.

Day 2: Redness around my nose chills out a tad. Not a miracle yet, but my moisturiser sinks in better, less cakey vibes.

Day 3: Alright, I’m sold, skin’s bouncier, less dull. Not flawless, but I don’t look like I’ve been up all night with a bottle of gin.

The Real Deal

I chucked this on before a Zoom call, puffy eyes, the lot, and it still made me look half human. It’s not cheap but with my 20% off? That’s a bloody decent punt for a luxe fix. Layers like a dream under my usual slap, too, no pilling or greasy nonsense. Shiseido’s proper posh stuff, this one’s a keeper.

Pro Tip: Stretch It

Pair it with a cheap cleanser to keep things basic, then let this do the heavy lifting. Less faff, more glow!
