Thicker than the lotion but never heavy — it spreads with one pass and finishes smooth rather than tacky, so makeup can go on top without waiting. The same relaxed aqua-floral scent as the lotion. [Collagenesis(R)] Peony extract, rose extract, hydroxyproline, bupleurum root extract and glycerin — the firming complex the 2025 renewal is built on, selected by Shiseido from roughly 140,000 possible combinations and carried through both steps of the pair. [Visua Moist] The emulsion's own addition: phytosteryl macadamiate plus glycerin, there for the light-reflecting side of moisture rather than plain hydration. Collagen GL (water-soluble collagen F + glycerin) does the holding. [Seals the Step Before] An emulsion's job is to hold what the lotion delivered. This one is formulated so skin keeps that cushioned feel through the day rather than losing it by mid-afternoon. [Fine Lines and Visible Pores] With continued moisture, designed to make dry fine lines and age-related pores less noticeable. [The Glow Spot] Like the whole ELIXIR line it aims at tsuyadama — the highlight on a well-conditioned cheek. The Lift Moist series has taken 52 Japanese Best Cosme awards to date (29 toner, 21 emulsion, 2 for the pair; brand figure, June 2025). [Two Textures] Rich Moisture is the more emollient — smooth, slightly viscous, a plumped finish. Dewy Moisture is lighter and more watery, sinking in fast and finishing non-tacky. The previous I / II / III ladder was retired in this renewal. [The Scent] A relaxed aqua-floral. Top: sweet orange, thyme, bergamot, rosemary, lemon, grapefruit, pineapple. Middle: benishizuka, jasmine, muguet, rose, violet. Base: cedarwood, musk. [Cleaner Base] Alcohol-free and paraben-free. A Japan domestic quasi-drug (医薬部外品); tranexamic acid is the active ingredient, approved there for preventing rough skin. [How to Use] Morning and night, after your lotion. Take an appropriate amount into your palms and press it gently over the whole face. One bottle lasts roughly a month at daily use. [Refill, and Why It Matters] The 110mL pouch refills the 130mL bottle. Shiseido puts the saving at about 85% less CO2 per unit than another bottle (verified under the SuMPO environmental label programme, ISO 14025); the bottles use 72%+ recycled resin and are made on 100% renewable electricity.
