Shiseido Eudermine: Must Have Cult Product

In our age of information, when science jargon and cosmetic ingredient innovations grow more and more overwhelming every day, it is sometimes the simple things that seem the most special. For instance, Shiseido’s Eudermine Revitalizing Essence, a “softening lotion” so minimal and gentle it has been considered one of the world’s most amazing skin care lotions for more than 100 years. In fact, it was one of the company’s first products, first offered in 1897.

It might seem strange that a cosmetics company launched face lotion before face paint, but it adheres to the brand’s belief that luminous skin is the first step of any great makeup application. Recommended for all skin types, the lotion is super moisturizing and you can use any foundation over it for a perfect complexion. Eudermine also responds to changes in climate and environment, making it ideal for travel no matter the climate or season.

Use Eudermine after cleansing your face morning or evening. It’s also perfect after a long flight or late night out, with a soft scent of rain-soaked peonies that is as calming and soothing as the lotion itself. It’s amazing how a product that is so simple seems ideal for today’s fast-paced world.
