Sales Background

Now a symbol of the brand as a whole, SHISEIDO ULTIMUNE was launched in 2014 and evolved in 2018 as ULTIMUNE™ Power Infusing Concentrate N. Its unique value of “bringing out the natural beauty of the skin” has gained a loyal following, with users of diverse ethnicities, ages, skin types and genders. It has become so popular that a consumer chooses ULTIMUNE every 6.8 seconds*1 . It has also won 200 beauty awards*2 worldwide.
SHISEIDO’s global survey on “ideal skin”*3 revealed clearly that most consumers worldwide share the same desire when it comes to their skin. They describe wanting “the moment when I feel my skin is beautiful to last longer.” In addition, the survey showed that beauty needs are changing as the COVID-19 pandemic continues, and that awareness of “bare skin” is increasing throughout the world. In Japan, the most common desire among participants was to “have beautiful bare skin.”4
