Shiseido Vital Perfection LiftDefine Radiance Face Mask x 6 Sheets
Works for
Evens skin tonePotassium methoxysalicylate, Glucosamine hcl + 1 moreWorks well
“Powered by ReNeura Technology++™ and brightening ingredients, the formula helps skin feel nourished, smoother and more supple, with a fresher, more even-toned appearance after use.”
This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: potassium methoxysalicylate
The following ingredient (ingredients) in this product might be helpful, but there is no evidence to confirm that it actually can help even out the skin tone: glucosamine hcl.
Keep in mind that you would need to apply any topical skincare targetted at hypigmentation consistently for a couple of months to get a result. No topical skincare product can help get rid of hyperpigmentation (including post-acne marks and age spots) instantly.
MoisturizingSqualane, Trehalose + 12 moreWorks
“After 10 minutes, the remaining essence can be pressed into the skin, leaving the face feeling comfortably hydrated, refined and ready for the rest of a skincare regimen.”
This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from
within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
glucosamine hcl, glycerin.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: ricinus communis seed oil, squalane.
Anti-agingCamellia sinensis leaf extract, Glucosamine hcl + 1 moreNot delivered
“The essence-rich Mask 1 is applied over the entire face to help address the look of wrinkles, dark spots and dullness, while Mask 2 hooks over the ears to gently support the jawline and facial contours.”
This product does not contain ingredients that are able to reduce fine lines and wrinkles or help with skin elasticity, but it can improve the look of the skin temporarily through moisturization. Well-moisturized skin might also be able to repair the sun damage better.This ingredient - camellia sinensis leaf extract - could be helpful for preventing or repairing signs of aging in theory, but there is no evidence that it actually works.
This ingredient camellia sinensis leaf extract might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin and help it fight off some of the sun damage.
Anti-oxidationNot advertised by the brand · Camellia sinensis leaf extract, Tartaric acid + 8 moreMay help
This product contains antioxidants (camellia sinensis leaf extract, tartaric acid) that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is not enough evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin though.
