Shiseido Future Solution LX Ultimate Regenerating Facial Serum

$260, Shiseido

One of the most important products that you need to massage onto your face twice a day is a serum. These silky, sheer fluids are plum full of highly active ingredients that can alternately stimulate cell growth, eliminate fine lines and help prevent premature aging. Right now, we’re splurging on Shiseido’s Future Solution LX Ultimate Regenerating Serum, which does all three—the luxury brand’s 100-year dedication to science means superior research and advancements in skincare technology. Kind of like the equivalent of using an iPhone 6, but for your face. The Shiseido experts have even added Uji green tea, star fruit and firming yeast into the mix, to revitalize our skin and leave it looking radiant. Quick tip: for results that will make you feel like and look like you’ve had a facial at the spa, apply the serum on clean skin once in the morning and once at night before you apply your moisturizer.
