Shiseido Bio-Performance Advanced Super Restoring Cream Review

Shiseido truly hit it out of the park with the Bio-Performance Advanced Super Restoring Cream, an incredible moisturizer and anti-aging product that feels and smells divine, all while providing noticeable and lasting results. So often, it is nearly impossible to get much of anything out of a moisturizer other than hydration, hence the use of quality serums. But Shiseido offers the antioxidants and skin-friendly ingredients of a serum in the form of a moisturizer perfect for dry and dull skin.

What it Does

There are few moisturizers on the market that hydrate more than the outer most layer of the skin, providing temporary relief rather than long-term benefits. The Shiseido Bio-Performance Advanced Super Restoring Cream goes much deeper, annihilating causes and signs of dryness, allowing your skin to feel smooth, soft, plump and comfortable long after the moisturizer dissipates. In addition to this, the cream also quickly eliminates signs of aging, providing an intensive treatment and heavy moisture all at once. The cream improves resilience, eliminates existing wrinkles while preventing new ones from forming, and gives skin an overall youthful firmness that will leave you hooked.

How it Does It

The Shiseido Bio-Performance Advanced Super Restoring Cream lives up to its name with a long list of superb ingredients. Rose Apple Leaf Extract acts as a sublime antioxidant, protecting skin from environmental damage. The Bio-Hyaluronic Acid N boosts the capabilities of every other ingredient while acting to deeply moisturize the skin, helping to normalize oil production while balancing the skin to prevent dryness. In addition to this, the hyaluronic acid draws in moisture from the air, allowing it to penetrate the skin, thus ensuring that the cream provides continuous moisture throughout the night. The meadowfoam seed oil plumps skin and gives a youthful glow, while the rosa canina fruit extract and syzygium jambos leaf extract provide amazing antioxidant benefits, reversing signs of aging while preventing new spots and wrinkles from forming.

How it Feels

Incredibly rich, the Bio-Performance Advanced Super Restoring Cream coats skin in luxury, featuring a silky, emollient texture that feels lavish and nourishing. Despite its heavy nature, it sinks in relatively quickly, in as little as 10 minutes, leaving behind very little residue.

The Results

The Shiseido Bio-Performance Advanced Super Restoring Cream truly lives up to its name. After one use, skin is noticeably more hydrated and smooth, featuring a soft glow throughout the next day. Over time, you’ll see a noticeable improvement in fine lines and wrinkles. Skin appears filled in, including past marks from scars and wrinkles, while the overall complexion is smoother and more even toned.

The Flaws

The only flaw is the jar packaging that can be somewhat problematic, as it increases the amount of bacteria the cream is exposed to, as well as allows light and air to reach the product, both of which break down antioxidants. However, this is easily rectified by washing your hands before application and keeping the jar tightly closed and stored in a cool, dark spot between uses.

The Verdict

As with most high-end skincare items, the only real downside to the Shiseido Bio-Performance Advanced Super Restoring Cream is the price: at $99 per 50 mL and $124 per 75 mL, it can be cost prohibitive for some. But for those experiencing dry, uneven skin, the benefits far outweigh the cost. And, you can get it at a discounted price at Amazon: around $70 per 50 mL (1.7 oz).
