Shiseido

Shiseido has reimagined its best-selling travel retail-exclusive Ultimune Power Infusing Concentrate (100ml) and Vital Perfection Uplifting and Firming Cream (50ml) in a limited-edition red and gold motif. The Blooming New Year Collection was inspired by the art of calligraphy and features striking imagery of blooming flowers and brush strokes.

The Ultimune Power Infusing Concentrate — one of Shiseido’s hero products — contains ImuGeneration Technology which protects skin against daily damage and skin-ageing. The Vital Perfection Uplifting and Firming Cream features ReNeura Technology++ which strengthens the skin and fights the visible signs of skin-ageing. It has also been infused with  Kurenai-TruLift Complex which boosts skin regeneration.

The campaign also includes programmatic advertising as well as amplification on CDFG’s website, social media channels and ecommerce platform.
