Reflecting Shiseido’s belief that you can live life on your terms and achieve your own definitions of happiness and fulfilment, Shiseido Ultimune creates a strong foundation for your skin to keep it strong and resilient, and let your individual beauty shine.

My Reading Room

Your skin has special cells called Langerhans cells, which can detect stressors like UV rays and pollutants. They also shield your skin and warn other cells about the stressors. But as you age, this natural defence is whittled down day by day. Blitzed by ultraviolet rays, pathogens, exhaust fumes and air-conditioning, skin becomes worn out and less able to defend itself. When exposed to environmental stressors, it sustains heavy damage and ages prematurely.

Think of Shiseido Ultimune Power Infusing Concentrate as skin strength in a bottle. It promises to top up our skin’s “power” and resilience each day to stress-proof it. No matter what daily challenges we face, this pre-serum is said to help our skin stay strong and youthful-looking.

Since daily assaults erode skin’s natural immunity, the first step is to rebuild its natural shield. The pre-serum contains the breakthrough Ultimune ComplexTM which empowers skin by boosting the function of Langerhans cells, allowing it to defend and repair itself properly.

UNLOCK YOUR SKIN’S UNTAPPED POTENTIAL

The unique Ultimune Complex is said to reawaken the Langerhans cells and restore them to an optimum state, while stimulating moisture and collagen production. Shiseido Ultimune Power Infusing Concentrate is reportedly able to harness the inherent power of your skin to protect, regenerate and strengthen itself. When it’s no longer constantly overwhelmed by stress, your skin can better fend off fatigue and premature ageing, and glow with flawless radiance.

FREE RADICAL DEFENCE

Even with the very best sunscreens, ultraviolet rays and pollution still produce free radicals that alter and damage your skin at DNA level. This begins a chain reaction that leads to premature signs of ageing. A little of this pre-serum goes a long way as it fortifies your skin against free radicals with a botanical antioxidant cocktail made from herbs that thrive in the harshest environments. Enriched with ginkgo biloba leaves, perilla and wild thyme, it purportedly mops up free radicals and eliminates bacteria for a radiant, healthy-looking complexion.

STRESS ANTIDOTE

Because true strength comes from holistic wellness and inner balance, the product contains the brand’s ImuCalm Compound, which has a soothing, exquisite fragrance of rose and lotus. Apply it morning and evening and let its scent relax you – when you’re relaxed, your skin heals and absorbs skincare actives better.

UNIVERSAL BOOSTER

Designed for women of all ages and with all skin types, the pre-serum should be used after your cleanser and softener to restore your skin’s natural equilibrium, and moisturise and strengthen it, to help it better absorb the products that follow.
