Key Benefits of Shiseido LiftDynamic Eye Treatment

 
These are the key benefits you can expect from using Shiseido LiftDynamic Eye Treatment:
 

🔵🔵🔵 Rich Moisturizer Well-Suited for Dry Skin

According to CreamScan analysis, Shiseido LiftDynamic Eye Treatment is highly moisturizing, with a moisturizing rating of 7.4 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Rather occlusive. It has a high humectancy of 6.4 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Butylene Glycol (est. ≈3.0%) and Glycerin (est. ≈2.5%), and a very high occlusivity of 8.4 out of 10, mainly due to the significant content of Pentaerythrityl Tetraethylhexanoate (est. ≈9.0%) and Dimethicone (est. ≈4.0%).

This type of moisturizer is well-suited for people with dry skin who want intense hydration. It combines a significant concentration of humectants with a high level of occlusive ingredients to provide effective dual-action moisturizing specifically for dry skin.

The occlusive profile of Shiseido LiftDynamic Eye Treatment suggests a rich, thick texture, making it perfectly suited for dry skin.

Please refer to the Ratings section below for details of the moisturizing rating calculation.

📌 Please note that this is not a complete list of benefits. We are in the process of enhancing our model to incorporate anti-pigmentation, exfoliation and anti-acne ratings.

Things to Be Aware Of: Shiseido LiftDynamic Eye Treatment

 
CreamScan identified a few things to consider before adding Shiseido LiftDynamic Eye Treatment to your skincare routine:
 

⚠️ Best for Dry Skin - May Be Too Thick for Other Skin Types

With high occlusivity, this product is optimal for dry skin but may be too thick for combination and especially oily skin. Even on normal skin, it can feel too rich depending on the quantity applied, the environment, and individual preferences.

If you have oily, combination, or normal skin and are considering purchasing this product for the first time, it might be a good idea to try a sample before buying.

⚠️ Questionable anti-wrinkle efficacy

If one of your main reasons for choosing Shiseido LiftDynamic Eye Treatment is its potential anti-aging effects, please note that, according to CreamScan analysis, it currently has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains Caffeine and Retinyl Acetate, two ingredients often marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles. However, the studies supporting the anti-wrinkle claims of these ingredients provide insufficient evidence of efficacy according to CreamScan Research Evaluation Standards.

While this does not categorically rule out the possibility that these ingredients may reduce wrinkles, their efficacy is not supported by convincing, vehicle-controlled, double-blind clinical studies - at least none that were available to the CreamScan team at the time of publication.

Therefore, these ingredients do not generate the anti-wrinkle rating.

📌 Moisturizers, when used regularly, are proven to prevent wrinkle formation and even reduce existing wrinkles. Therefore, this product, like any other moisturizer, can deliver some anti-wrinkle effects through its moisturizing action.

Please refer to the Ratings section below for details of the anti-wrinkle rating calculation.

Pros & Cons of Shiseido LiftDynamic Eye Treatment

 
Here’s an overview of the pros and cons of Shiseido LiftDynamic Eye Treatment to help you decide if it’s the right choice for your skincare routine:
 

🟩 Pros:

⭕ Cons: 

⚠️ May feel too rich and thick on skin types other than dry

Summary: Shiseido LiftDynamic Eye Treatment

 
Based on the ingredient list analysis, CreamScan AI suggests that Shiseido LiftDynamic Eye Treatment
 is a well-suited moisturizer for dry skin, combining a high concentration of humectants and occlusive ingredients in a rich, thick texture.
 
That said, there are some things about Shiseido LiftDynamic Eye Treatment worth noting.
 
With its high occlusivity, Shiseido LiftDynamic Eye Treatment is ideal for dry skin but may feel too thick on other skin types. If you have oily, combination, or normal skin, it’s a good idea to try a sample before purchasing.
 
If one of your main reasons for considering Shiseido LiftDynamic Eye Treatment is its potential anti-aging effects, please note that, according to CreamScan analysis, its anti-wrinkle efficacy is questionable. None of the ingredients in this product provide substantial evidence of their anti-wrinkle efficacy according to CreamScan Research Evaluation Standards.
