SHISEIDO earns strong reviews for delivering effective, sensorial skincare—hydrating moisturizers, spa-like serums, and elegant sunscreens perform well and absorb cleanly—yet the brand draws criticism for subtle anti‑wrinkle results, occasional heaviness, and mixed makeup hits. Reviews of SHISEIDO highlight lush textures, refined packaging, and noticeable radiance and smoothness, alongside concerns about animal testing and some products feeling rich or underwhelming in payoff.

This has been my go-to eyelash curler for years! It's always been recommended to me since it's an asian brand and I have very straight lashes. I do have to use different products (eyelash primer and mascara) to keep my lashes curled but I like the shape of the curler. I also like that they sell replacement pads

Probably the best face cream I’ve ever used. It is on the pricier side, but honestly worth every single dollar. The moment you apply it, it feels incredibly smooth and sinks right in, instantly leaving your skin feeling deeply hydrated and refreshed. It has that luxurious texture that just makes your skin feel cared for right away. I can’t rave about this enough.

This sunscreen works so on my skin making it super smooth and feels pore less too. The texture of the sunscreen is like a primer and perfect to be applied before makeup. It helps to blur your skin too. To reapply is messy so I would not recommend if you intend to use if you have makeup - before works fine, but after makeup no. This sunscreen does not leave white cast and it’s lightweight, not greasy. It does not leave my skin oily even after many hours.

This hand cream is a little slice of paradise in a tube! The texture is oh-so-light, almost jelly-like that transforms into a burst of hydration when it meets my hands. It sinks in instantly, leaves no greasy residue, and smells like gentle plumeria blooms on a tropical breezy morning. Truly one of my favorite little luxuries!

The Benefiance eye masks are nice for a quick pick-me-up. They feel cooling and hydrating, and I’ve noticed a small improvement in puffiness and dark circles. But the results are subtle, so it's really more to /feel/ like you're having a spa day.

I have tried many of Shiseido products and they all worked very well for my skin. This cleanser is so nice, not too oily, but keeps your skin hydrated, has a light great smell and nice slightly foaming texture when you apply it

I’ve been using the Shiseido Anessa Perfect UV Sunscreen Skincare Gel SPF 50+ PA++++ every sunny day—and I’m hooked! 🧴 The gel texture glides on like silk, absorbs instantly without stickiness, and layers beautifully under makeup. It gives me full peace of mind at the beach or pool, though it can feel slightly rich in extreme heat—still totally worth it for the protection.

So, I have really enjoyed some of the face moisturizers and cleansers in the past. Not super amazing, but not bad. The new lip matte i bought, however, is just ok. Not a wow. It's supposed to plump and doesn't, and the color is very pale. On the plus side, it doesn't transfer at all. I didn't even know buxom is shiseido. Learn something new every day!

A month ago, I bought a face cream at the airport. I didn't have much faith in it, as I've been using other brand of creams for 20 years. And oh miracle, I wasn't wrong. I really like how it nourishes my skin and protects from the sun. Yes, it feels heavier, but my skin is always moisturised and has a healthy look in my 55 years. I also love the spatula. Now the cream in the jar doesn't come in contact with my fingers and always retains its quality.


I love their cotton pads! They're a bit overpriced considering they're just cotton pads. But the packaging looks nice and they do feel nicer / smoother than usual cotton rounds. It's nice to have a little luxury in the skincare routine :)

A bit spendy, but so worth it. Their serums are absolutely divine, and every time I use them I feel like I’ve entered the spa — but I’m only in my bathroom! Usually I notice a positive change in my skin 1-2 days after use, which is pretty impressive!

I received both of these, in separate occasions to test in exchange for my honest review from the brand and Influenster app. I wish the wrinkle cream had come with some sort of instructions or recommendations on when it's best to use. I used it mostly in the evenings, but didn't notice much change with my fine lines after 5 days. Moisturizes great, but not sure about the wrinkle smoothing part just yet. The red serum works nice. Leaves my skin feeling smooth

I love SHISEIDO. This full lash volume brown mascara offers volume finish typically aims to enhance the appearance of your lashes by adding length and thickness. The brown color gives a more natural and subtle look compared to traditional black mascaras.

Shiseido moisturizer is absolutely fantastic! It hydrates my skin deeply without feeling heavy or greasy. The texture is silky smooth, and it absorbs quickly, leaving my skin soft and refreshed. I’ve noticed a real improvement in my skin’s overall appearance—it's more radiant and smooth. It’s perfect for both day and night use. The quality is top-notch, and it feels like a luxurious treat for my skin. Highly recommend!
This brand tests on animals so I don’t buy from them. It’s also out of my price range, it is very expensive
You can't go wrong with any of their products! Whilst on the more pricey side, I find it totally worth it.
Every Shiseido product is wonderful!
