Shiseido Waso boasts an intensely hydrating cream called the SHIKULIME Mega Hydrating Moisturizer. Like all products by the brand, this offering features a powerful, science-backed formula that promises to improve moisture retention and skin radiance over time. The Waso line, however, also creates a bit of price accessibility for consumers on a tighter budget.
The SHIKULIME Mega Hydrating Moisturizer promises to lock in moisture for up to 48 hours. The intensely hydrating cream includes powerful and unique ingredients such as Shikuwasa which is a Japanese Lime from Okinawa, Botanical Plankton Extract, and Hydro-Balancing Complex (Glycerin & Trehalose). Both Shikuwasa and the complex promise to support the skin's moisture barrier while the Plankton Extract boosts the skin's vitality.
