“Once applied, this sumptuous cream melts into the skin to tackle multiple signs of ageing.”
What is it?
A heavy-duty moisturiser that is thick enough to keep your skin feeling dehydrating while you're asleep, but silky sufficient to apply makeup over the top of makeup. I would call this a cream that offers epic skin-smoothing severe benefits.
What's in it?
The blend of unique ingredients promises to light up your skin's luminosity factor within weeks. And in case you're not in on the secret, the powers lie within the prized Enmei herb and its potent healing powers used by Japanese monks centuries ago. It grows in the sacred forests of Mount Koya, and Shiseido studies show Enmei herb heals and regenerates ageing skin. Simultaneously, treasured green silk, spun by the Japanese oak moths, pale green in colour, has a brilliant lustre. The silk pods produce a featherweight fibre; that, once whipped into this luxurious cream, puts the spring back into your complexion as well as an enviable glow. Once applied, this sumptuous cream melts into the skin to tackle multiple signs of ageing, including dryness, dullness, fine lines, and wrinkles (and yes, as a woman no longer in her 30s, I'm qualified to speak to these now). Just like the luxe-y, Future Solution LX Legendary Enmei Ultimate Luminous Serum, $699, the hype is real. Once you start on a Future Solution LX skin journey, it's hard to go back to your old mainstays.
