A standout eye cream with a de-puffing roller testers
loved
Lots of our testers mentioned the Japanese massage roller
which comes included with the eye cream and is used to apply the
product. Several mentioned how easy it made application.
‘Great luxurious eye and face cream. Smells lovely! Only small
pots but you don’t need much at all. Great touch with the ball
roller applicator, makes applying very easy. The face cream is a
little heavy but makes skin feel so soft and smooth.’
‘Really nice eye cream easy to use, the little roller helps
de-puff your under eyes. You can put your make up on straight away
as well with no clumping.’
‘Wow! This is a gorgeous eye cream, great little pot and
application tool which is really handy. I haven’t used an
application tool like that before and would definitely recommend.
The cream is a lovely consistency and applied smoothly and feels
lovely on the skin. A lovely scent too.’
‘Lovely set felt so lovely on the skin, made my skin feel super
soft all day and I loved the little eye cream roller. What a great
idea.’
Easy use to use – and ‘worth the money’
Our testers loved how easy both creams are to apply – and
how little you need to use each time.
‘My skin looks so much better, fresher, fuller. Honestly, it is
literally a miracle cream.’
‘Wow, such a lovely cream set. Loved the eye cream with the
metal ball applicator. Made applying easy. The face cream was
luxurious and easy to use. Made my skin feel firmer and
radiant.’
‘I have been using this eye cream and have found the formula to
be thick and easily absorbed. The applicator tool is easy to use
and helps spread the product. The tub looks luxurious and I like
the packaging.’
‘It’s so thick and feels very luxurious, it leaves my skin
feeling super soft and it smells so lovely too. My skin looks
brighter since I’ve been using it. The only downside to this cream
is that it’s expensive. Overall I love it and think it’s worth the
money and would buy it again. A little goes a long way so I don’t
think I will need to replace it too often.’

Brightness and visible results
Some of our testers said they had ‘brighter’ and ‘refreshed’
skin after using the Shiseido products.
‘I think it’s the ultimate skin care. It’s become one of those
products I actually look forward to using morning and night.’
‘A beautifully presented luxurious eye cream. Feels fantastic
and light once on. Keeps the under eye feeling hydrated all day.
Only need a small amount but definitely noticing some difference
already.’
‘I really like this set. The cream has a lovely, rich
consistency and a gentle, pleasant fragrance. It feels quite
luxurious on the skin. After using it, my skin looks noticeably
brighter and more refreshed. I also love the applicator and rollers
– they make the experience feel really pampering. I would be
willing to treat myself to this cream again in the future!’
