Shiseido Treatment Softener Enriched Lotion 300ml is the Japanese house's hydrating skin softener for normal, dry and very dry skin — a vital second-cleansing step in a Japanese-inspired skincare routine. Enriched with Japanese yuzu seed extract, evening primrose oil and the brand's InternalPowerResist technology, it preps the skin to better receive subsequent serums and creams while leaving it plump, smooth and visibly hydrated.
About Shiseido
Shiseido is the iconic Japanese cosmetics company founded in Tokyo in 1872, one of the oldest cosmetics houses in the world. The brand's skincare line is built around the Japanese principle that a hydrating softener (or "lotion") is an essential step between cleansing and serum — preparing the skin to absorb subsequent products. Treatment Softener Enriched is the version of this step for drier skin types.

Who it's for
This softener is designed for normal, dry and very dry skin types — particularly those building a Japanese-inspired skincare routine or who find their existing toner too astringent. It's a useful daily prep step for anyone who wants their serums and creams to absorb more effectively, and is especially comforting for tight, dehydrated skin in cooler months.

- Dispense a 10p-sized amount onto a cotton pad or into the palms
