Inside The Beauty Edit[ed] Box: Shiseido Ultimune Power Infusing Concentrate

Shiseido Ultimune Power Infusing Concentrate

Our ultimate pick for a day serum, this concentrate has won beauty awards here and there, and for a good reason. With botanical extracts of reishi mushroom and iris root, Bulgarian rose water, yeast extract, gingko biloba leaf extract (antioxidant), shisho, and thyme, it protects the skin from free-radicals, treats damage, moisturizes and strengthens the skin barrier, simply put. The more science-y part mentions how it works in strengthening the skin’s Langerhans cells, which are found to decrease with age. What’s impressive about Shiseido is that for every major launch it releases, it is backed by clinical research and independent studies—something the brand has become known for over the decades. 

Expert Tip: Since it’s a concentrate, it usually comes before your serum, but you can use this in its place too before your moisturizer. Just pump onto your fingertips and gently massage into cleansed skin.
