After careful reading of reviews I purchased the Shiseido Vital Perfection Uplifting and Firming Day Cream with SPF30. The cream is a lovely formula with a slight floral scent to it. It appeared to be the holy grail for me until I placed it on my face. I havent noticed any improvement on my over 55 year old skin after using it for a couple of weeks but rather than waste it I'll continue to empty the pot. Unfortunately I don't think this is one I'll be repurchasing as it leaves a tacky residue on my skin that does not feel nice & doesn't work too well with my foundation on top. It may well just be my skin type which it doesn't work with but I'm normal skin requiring a bit of hydration at this time of year. Disappointed as I love the brand.
