My Doctor's Diagnosis: Analysis and Target

Visit Hydrating Day Cream SPF20 from Shiseido is primarily intended for skin in need of hydration, daily sun protection, and anti-aging benefits. Its formula is designed to meet the needs of skin exposed to urban stress, dehydration, and the first signs of aging. My analysis highlights a comprehensive approach: hydration, UV protection, and antioxidant support, making it a suitable treatment for normal to dry, even sensitive skin seeking comfort and prevention.

Formula Analysis: Key Assets

Three active ingredients stand out in this cream:

• Organic sun filters (Homosalate, Octocrylene, Avobenzone, Polysilicone-15) They provide SPF20 protection against UVA and UVB rays, thereby limiting photoaging and the appearance of pigmentation spots.
• Hyaluronic acid (Sodium Hyaluronate, Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate) These moisturizing molecules retain water in the epidermis, improving skin elasticity and suppleness. Their plumping action is essential for preventing dehydration lines.
• Vitamin E (Tocopherol) and vitamin C derivative (2-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid) These antioxidants neutralize free radicals generated by UV rays and pollution, strengthening the skin's natural defenses.

The presence of glycerin and plant extracts (ginseng, skullcap, jujube) complements the moisturizing and soothing action, justifying the quality of the formula.

Tips and Application Ritual

I apply this cream in the morning, as the last step in my routine, to clean, dry skin. It can be combined with moisturizing or antioxidant serums, but I avoid layering it with products containing exfoliating acids or retinol in the morning, so as not to sensitize the skin to sun exposure. Compatible with makeup.

My Final Verdict & Safety Opinion

Its strengths lie in the synergy between hydration, antioxidants, and sun protection, making it ideal for an urban routine. The texture is pleasant, but the presence of alcohol and fragrance may be a drawback for very sensitive skin. In conclusion, it is an effective and versatile skincare product, ideal for preventing skin aging on a daily basis.
