Skincare Review: Shiseido Ultimune Eye Power Infusing Concentrate

Shiseido Ultimune Eye Power Infusing Concentrate

Those that follow my skincare hits and misses know that finding an eye cream has been the bane of my existence. Shiseido’s line of skincare comes highly recommended, so when I saw Shiseido’s Ultimune Eye Power Infusing Concentrate – and the promises that come along with it – I knew I had to try it.

The product is supposed to be used like a serum before eye cream. So, if I’m having such a hard time finding the perfect eye cream, could this be my solution? As in, a booster for other eye creams I am testing? Or, could I just use it alone? The product claims include softening and smoothing skin, improving fine lines and wrinkles, diminishing dark circles, evening and brightening the eye area. Impressive, right!?

Would I Buy It Again?

While I can confirm that the eye cream is hydrating and does have a temporary brightening effect, it did not dimish my dark circles (I do suffer from dark ones sadly). I tried it alone, with my beloved eye cream and with others that I am testing. On its own, it’s not as hydrating. Together with products, it was more hydrating but didn’t make a big change for me.

As a result, I will not be re-purchasing this product. However, as I suffer from dry under eyes, if you run more oily, this could be a good option for you. I found the texture to be nice, it layered well with my makeup, but it just didn’t last through my workday.
