My Experience with Shiseido Benefiance WrinkleResist 24 Day Emulsion SPF 15:
Packaging: The packaging is probably the best thing about this product. Unlike the regular jar packaging, the Shiseido Day Emulsion comes in a beautiful rose gold cylindrical pump bottle. It is very hygienic and travel-friendly.
Texture: The texture of this day Emulsion is not thick but, it makes the skin greasy. You can wear it as long you aren’t applying any other product over else it will mess up with your makeup. I wish they had a higher SPF because SPF 15 isn’t that protective and I have to apply another layer of sunscreen over it.
Smell: It has a mild smell, which is not overpowering.
It is a wrinkle resist emulsion but, I don’t know how it works on resisting the wrinkles. As far as the moisturising part is concerned, it is excellent for dry skin and tends to get a little greasy on oily skin. The moisturising power stays for around 7-8 hours, which is great. Since it promises to firm the skin, I use it in my under eye areas to plump and tighten the skin over there. But, it is not very effective in firming my under eye skin. My mom uses this product religiously, in fact, she’s going to buy herself the third bottle now. It works well on her matured skin. However, it doesn’t magically reduce the wrinkles; I know no product does that, but we tend to expect great results from expensive products. This product does make my skin firm, plump and healthy. It takes time, though. Also, it imparts a fresh, healthy glow to my skin, which I love.
Pros of Shiseido Benefiance WrinkleResist 24 Day Emulsion SPF 15:
- Attractive packaging.
- Hydrates the skin well.
- A little goes a long way.
- Reasonable – I find people complaining about how pricey it is. But, I find it fair because of the quantity and its staying power.
Cons of Shiseido Benefiance WrinkleResist 24 Day Emulsion SPF 15:
- Low SPF.
- Makes skin greasy.
- Works well for matured skin only.
