I had been loyal to Japanese skin care products before. I do not understand why. I thought Japanese products are better for Asian skin. However as more products I have tried, the more I understand it is not the case.
Shiseido has different formulas and types for creams. This one is supposed to work as an anti-ageing products. They have reformulated this restoring cream to more 'advanced' one last year.
The reason why I bought this cream is to prevent ageing. I know it sounds ridiculous for people in their 20s to talk about ageing skin, but who does not want to look forever young?
I am not sure if it's because I am not the targeted customer, because this cream is supposed to be working on people over 30 years old, I did not feel any miracle from this cream.
It does moisturize well, but except this I do not see any other functions it offers me. When my skin was in a very bad condition, it actually did not do anything to me. I know we can not expect anything miracle from a jar of cream, but with the price tag of $140 CAD plus tax, I expect more from this.
It feels like CdP old la creme to me, so if someone wants to try CdP but does not want to splurge $600, definitely give this a try.
This cream, same as all Shiseido night cream, has some kind of old lady-ish scent. It reminds me of my Grandma's skin care products.
Will I buy this again? Maybe not. Maybe I will wait until I am 30 and see how it works again.
