Nothing. None of the experts who reviewed it raised a problem.
What the gurus are saying
This serum's fermented plant extracts and peptide blend earn praise for delivering visible hydration and bouncy skin feel that absorbs quickly despite a rich texture. Gurus note the formula supports skin renewal, collagen synthesis, and even skin tone over time, backed by Shiseido's clinical studies. The refillable packaging appeals to those looking to reduce waste, though the serum is quite concentrated, so two pumps may be all most people need to start with.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.
Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
