Key Benefits of Shiseido Moisturizing Cream

 
These are the key benefits you can expect from using Shiseido Moisturizing Cream:
 

🔵🔵 Well-Suited Moisturizer for Normal Skin with a Balanced Texture, Neither Too Light nor Too Heavy

According to CreamScan analysis, Shiseido Moisturizing Cream is highly moisturizing, with a moisturizing rating of 6.2 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Rather humectant. It has a high humectancy of 7.3 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Glycerin (est. ≈3.0%) and Betaine (est. ≈2.5%), and a moderate occlusivity of 5.0 out of 10, mainly due to the significant content of Dimethicone (est. ≈9.0%).

This type of moisturizer is well-suited for people with normal skin who want significant hydration in a formula with a balanced texture - neither too light nor too heavy. It combines a high concentration of humectants with a moderate amount of occlusive ingredients to deliver effective dual-action moisturizing for normal skin.

Things to Be Aware Of: Shiseido Moisturizing Cream

 
CreamScan AI identified a few things to consider before adding Shiseido Moisturizing Cream to your skincare routine:
 

⚠️ Questionable anti-wrinkle efficacy

If one of your main reasons for choosing Shiseido Moisturizing Cream 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 Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, 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.
