Love this!
I have had both great and not great experiences with various products from Shiseido so I was honestly iffy about how I would feel. I was actually very pleasantly surprised by how it feels on my skin! There’s no pilling like I have experienced with another product. It leaves my skin smooth, soft, hydrated, and protected with the SPF. This is an excellent moisturizer! A little goes a long way.

It’s gentle on my skin
I’ve been using the Benefiance Brightening and Wrinkle Smoothing Cream from Shiseido and I really like it. The texture is lightweight, absorbs fast, and doesn’t feel greasy. It keeps my skin hydrated all day and works well under makeup. After using it for a while, my skin looks smoother and a bit more even. Some dark spots look lighter too. It’s gentle on my skin and didn’t cause any breakouts. Overall, it’s a good everyday moisturizer if you want hydration and brighter, smoother skin.

Must try
This cream feels luxuriously rich while still absorbing beautifully into the skin without any heavy or greasy residue. I use it morning and evening as the final step in my routine, and it instantly leaves my skin feeling deeply hydrated, smoother, and more supple. With consistent use, my complexion appears brighter and more even, and fine lines look softer and less noticeable—especially in areas that tend to show signs of fatigue. The texture glides on effortlessly and gives my skin a healthy, well-rested glow that lasts throughout the day.

Great cream for more mature or very dry skin, especially during dry winter weather. I’m glad to be able to incorporate a face cream into my routine that is brightening in addition to the moisture it provides.

Great product
I received the Benefiance Brightening and Wrinkle Smoothing Cream from Shiseido as a gift and have been using it daily.
I apply two pearl-sized amounts morning and evening as the last step of my skincare routine, including my neck with upward motions. The cream has a rich texture but absorbs well without feeling greasy.
My skin feels more hydrated, smoother, and looks brighter. I also noticed that fine lines appear slightly softened. Overall, I’m happy with the results.

Hydrating skin
I’ve been using the Shiseido Benefiance Wrinkle Smoothing Cream Enriched and it honestly feels like such a luxury skincare moment every time. The texture is super rich and silky, and it melts right into the skin without feeling greasy, but you can definitely tell it’s meant for dry skin. It gives that immediate plump, hydrated look and makes your skin feel really soft and smooth, especially overnight. I wake up looking way more refreshed and glowy, like my skin actually rested. It doesn’t magically erase wrinkles, but it definitely helps smooth everything out and gives that healthy skin appearance. The only things to keep in mind are that it is on the heavier side and it has fragrance, so maybe not the best if you’re oily or sensitive. It’s definitely more expensive, but if you love that hydrated skin vibe, this one is really worth it. Fortunately, it was sent to be in exchange for a review.

Good moisturiser
I use this cream morning and night as the last step of my skincare routine. A small amount goes a long way, so it feels very economical. The texture is smooth and absorbs quickly without feeling heavy. My skin feels hydrated, softer, and looks more radiant and refreshed.
