The newly updated FLARUNÉ range makes the idea particularly easy to see. Alongside its signature Full Refine Milk f, the brand has expanded the beginning of the routine with three new cleansing formulas: Quick Off Oil Cleansing, Cocoon Cream Cleansing and Moist Stringy Wash.
Anti-aging skincare is often organised around ingredients. Retinol for wrinkles. Vitamin C for brightness. Peptides for firmness.
But SHISEIDO Vital Perfection has increasingly moved in another direction.
Rather than isolating one visible sign of aging, the Japanese skincare line approaches the face as a combination of firmness, brightness, moisture, wrinkles and overall facial impression.
Some skincare renewals are little more than a packaging update. TAKAMI Essence 5CE Premium is not one of them. The Japanese skincare brand is replacing its long-running TAKAMI Essence 5C+E with an extensively reformulated vitamin C serum launching nationwide in Japan on September 2, 2026.
