Within the ever-evolving beauty landscape, the novelty of today’s technology has cemented itself as a definite mainstay. Leading this movement is Shiseido. Emerging as an emblematic expression of this ethos is Ultimune, a line shaped by Shiseido’s enduring dialogue between Japanese tradition and forward-looking skin research. Brought to fruition by the Japanese skincare powerhouse in 2014, the revered collection marks an unprecedented commitment to skin science with the iconic Ultimune Power Infusing Serum. Encased in the brand’s esteemed red, the formulation harnesses advanced technological prowess that targets signs of ageing at its foundation—earning its cult-classic status alongside a staggering 331 awards over the course of its 12-year legacy.
Bearing in mind the product’s storied reputation, it comes as no surprise that the Ultimune Power Infusing Serum made its way onto LISA’s radar. As one of the biggest forces in the music industry right now, the singer, dancer and actress is always on the look out for skincare that works for her complexion.
“I feel so honoured to be a part of the Shiseido family, and am so grateful for this opportunity,” she states during a Shiseido press event in Japan. “I’ve been a big fan of Shiseido for a very long time, and the Ultimune Power Infusing Serum is actually my go-to product—I used it in my daily routine even before I became a Global Ambassador. So, when Shiseido reached out to me, I said yes.”
Possibility through precision
This, thus, brings forth the question: what is it about the Ultimune Power Infusing Serum that distinguishes it from others in the market? Built upon three decades of dedicated research in skin science, the Ultimune Power Infusing Serum unpacks a flurry of complexion-enhancing discoveries within. At its heart, the Japanese camellia flower—a longstanding constituent of the brand—boasts a wealth of beauty benefits from petal to seed. Through extensive study conducted by Shiseido’s research team and the application of bio-fermentation technologies inspired by habitual Japanese ki-koji fermentation processes, Shiseido developed the Power Fermented Camellia+. The refined extract maximises the bloom’s full potency, laying the groundwork for botanical-based resilience within skin innovation.
Inspired by the camellia’s celebrated resilience, Shiseido pushes its research further into memory T cells—immune defenders associated with eliminating senescent skin targets brought on by environmental stressors as well as intrinsic biological decline. These cells are understood to play a significant role in how the skin operates amid stressors such as fatigue. And this understanding is what informs the intricate formulation of the Ultimune Power Infusing Serum, where, with continued use, the result surfaces as a visage that appears visibly more plumped and glowy.
LISA notes its discernible results, pointing out that it “feels lightweight”, but still “energises” her skin. “The more I use it, the more I notice my skin looking healthier,” she elucidates. “I would recommend the Ultimune Power Infusing Serum to everyone.”
Long-lasting results that resonate
And that;s not all. Designed to support what Shiseido terms ‘slow-ageing’ skin, the formula acts as a comprehensive solution targeting up to 11 key concerns, from redness and dullness to fine lines and wrinkles.
The serum absorbs swiftly, settling into a weightless veil that leaves skin soft and well-hydrated. Microcapsules swiftly sink in, dispersing across an astonishing 30 million skin cells to flood the complexion with lasting moisture, particularly where it needs it most. Delicate notes of matsurika lend the formula a refined aroma, inviting a mindful pause with each application—an olfactory nod to the unhurried ethos behind slow-ageing.

Global ambassador LISA showcases a luminous complexion, an apt testament to the innovative prowess behind the product. “I love that Ultimune focuses on strengthening the skin and supporting it over time, rather than fighting age,” she explains. As conversations around skincare continue to evolve, the vision championed by Shiseido and LISA points to a holistic future that will be shaped by technological precision and self-defined vitality.
