Shiseido Essential Energy Hydrating Cream

Overview

Vitamin C and hyaluronic acid anchor this Shiseido moisturizing cream, sized at 7.62 milliliters, unscented and oil free, labeled for adult use across all skin types.

Shiseido lists this cream at just 7.62 milliliters, a size closer to a sample vial than a jar meant to last months, so cost per use is worth weighing since no larger option appears in this listing. The oil free, unscented base combined with vitamin C and hyaluronic acid points to a formula aimed at brightening alongside hydration.

• 7.62 milliliter size
• Vitamin C and hyaluronic acid
• Unscented, oil free cream
• Adult use, all skin types

Who it's for

This works for adults wanting to sample a Shiseido vitamin C moisturizer without committing to a full sized jar, or for travel. It is less suited to anyone wanting a long lasting daily moisturizer from one purchase.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

Vitamin C and hyaluronic acid work toward different goals, the vitamin C toward skin improvement and brightening, the hyaluronic acid toward moisture retention, and the oil free, unscented base keeps the formula simple for layering under other products.
