What the gurus are saying

Heavy fragrance and luxury pricing characterize Shiseido's American line, but gurus found they deliver no skincare benefits to justify the cost. Compared to drugstore alternatives, there's nothing exceptional here. The strong scent is particularly concerning for anyone with sensitive skin. You're paying premium prices without receiving premium results, so you may find better value elsewhere.

"The American Shiseido arm has highly luxury products that are super expensive. I don't use those, they're not something I buy. They all have fragrance in them, and they're not offering anything above and beyond what you can get in the drugstore. [...] I don't like strongly scented stuff for my face."
