I'm an Asian. A few days ago, my neighbor asked me why my face was so smooth (I'm almost 49). She said I looked like her age (35). I don't wear makeup, and I've received many compliments like this. I told her that I had tried many brands and Shiseido was the best. This night cream is not so pricey as other high-end night creams, yet its effectiveness is quite satisfactory. It takes care of all signs of aging, including wrinkles, sagging and uneven skin tone. I've used it for less than 3 weeks. The result is that my face looks firm and bright after I wake up in the morning. I also have the whole line of White Lucent. Its brightening result is remarkable as well, surpassing other brightening lines that I've used, including Estee Lauder, Clarins, Loccitane, Caudalie and Exuviance. Currently, in the morning, I mix Elemis Tri-Enzyme Resurfacing line with Shiseido products. In the night, I mix Shiseido skin care lines: Future Solution, White Lucent, and Bio-Performance. I gave my neighbor Shiseido White Lucent samples to try out. My mother-in-law (age 75) is a loyal user of Shiseido. She doesn't have wrinkles on her face. I've used Shiseido products since the end of 2009. I wish I had used them starting my early 20's. However, it's never too late to try this very reliable brand -- Shiseido. . « less

If you have very dry, sensitive skin, this will be your new best friend. But it also works perfectly on all the other surfaces of my combination skin. Every other high priced, supposedly moisturizing product I have tried (and I have tried many) does not begin to compare! This is perfection in every feature. Most amazing is the moisturizing ability of this cream. I usually have to slather greasy lotion on to not turn red and start cracking open on my cheeks. I have combination skin though so I ended up using different products for my t zone. WIth this, however, I need no other product and I don't feel greasy. In fact, I use it in the morning rather than night because it makes my skin so perfect that I want to use it before I am seen in public! Seriously, have no doubt. This stuff is so beyond anything else you have ever tried. You get what you pay for with this one!! « less

I've been using this consistently for about 6 months now. I have to say it's worth the money. My skin tone and texture has improved significantly. I am prone to uneven tone, red blotches and combination skin. The redness in my skin has decreased and is almost gone. My skin is nicely hydrated and just looks healthier. This isn't plastic surgery, but I do note some improvement in fine lines also. I'm age 46 so have a few of those. Overall I am really pleased with this and plan to continue using it. A small amount of product does go a long way. One jar lasted me for 6 months. So 2X/year at $260 is doable for me. Cheers!

I have to say that it does moisturize very well. It didn't irritate my eyes, felt luxurious going on and the skin around my eyes was very soft. But it didn't do a thing for the few wrinkles and little bit of darkness I have. If it was more reasonably priced I would keep it just as an eye moisturizer, but given the ridiculous cost, it's not worth it for me when I can get better results for much less cost. It's going back.

Two years ago following my 80th birthday realized my skin was not responding to any of the creams I had been using for "aging skin." Finding myself in Nordstram's began picking up different samples of miracle creams and the Shiseido caught my eye maybe due to the unusual jar and on that alone made the purchase. Using it the first time liked the texture which was thicker, not greasy, used and forgot, until few days later noticed a small skin rash on my cheek had all but disappeared. That is when maybe I had accidentally bought something that was going to work. Two years later I have used nothing else as a night cream and later purchased the eye cream and Benefiance Night Emulsion which I use as a day moisturizer as my skin is quite dry. Over the past twenty-five years have used eye creams and each a waste of money until...the name SHISEIDO speaks for itself. For my age my complexion has aged but regardless time catches us eventually and I have found my solution to a softer skin. Thank you. « less
