It is a cream that minimizes the first signs of aging in male skin (expression lines, lack of luminosity and flaccidity); therefore, it is a multi-functional anti-aging cream.
As it does? Although the brand does not reveal any ingredient, it does mention that it works by improving the internal energy of the skin to recharge it again, as well as strengthening the skin’s barrier function to face external aggressions.
As the description is not very explicit, what I am going to do is analyze the INCI, and check if the appearances (of high-end cream) are deceiving.
This is what I have done with other men’s face creams, and I have compiled them in the article of the Best Face Creams for Men , which you cannot miss.

Shiseido Men’s Total Revitalizer Cream Review Summary
Another clear example of a cream that appears to be high-end, and is full of poor quality ingredients, and even harmful. It already starts out badly with silicone and alcohol, and continues worse with the irritating ingredient and toxic preservative.
Except for a moisturizer in the area above, there are no worthwhile assets in large proportions. There is vitamin E, and two other ingredients with anti-irritant, anti-inflammatory and soothing functions, but in very low concentration.
Further down there are more silicones, allergenic, sensitizing, and harmful ingredients, which can even cause cell mutation.
The rest is a compendium of conditioners, emollients, stabilizers, preservatives and fragrances that does not contribute anything to the skin, at least nothing that can stop the incipient signs of aging.
Alternative
To fight against aging you have the option of Nezeni Cosmetics, a cream with very good active ingredients that reduce existing wrinkles and prevent the appearance of new ones.
These assets are in good proportions, and the brand saves us the ingredients that do not contribute anything, and those that can harm us. If you want to avoid the combo effect, go for the Nezeni alternative
