A rich moisturizer designed to target loss of elasticity and uneven tone using Shiseido’s signature firming technology and brightening Potassium Methoxysalicylate. The substantial, velvety texture feels structured on application, drying down to a smooth finish thanks to a touch of silica.

Because it contains alcohol for faster absorption, it feels less heavy than traditional firming balms, though very dry types might still want to layer a serum underneath.
