• Ultimune is powered by Shiseido’s ImuGeneration technology. It uses botanical extracts of Reishi Mushroom and Iris Root to continuously fortify skin’s ability to defend itself.
• Reishi Mushrooms act as rich antioxidants which are known to hydrate and visibly reduce signs of ageing. Iris root is recognised for its vitality and ability to keep skin moisturised. Together, these ingredients are naturally powerful age defenders for strong, healthy-looking skin.

Summary
I thought this would be very hydrating and maybe leave skin glowing but I didn't notice any results above and beyond a normal hydrating serum. It is a thick, milky texture and a strong tropical fruity scent that doesn't match the product at all. The serum was easily absorbed and easy to apply. The packaging doesn't list any key ingredients or key effects.

I had a travel size bottle of this product and not the usual packaging. The serum is slightly translucent and easy to apply, being quickly absorbed into the skin. It is non-greasy and not tightening on the skin. The product has good moisturisation and combines well with creams applied on top of this product. The serum is almost fragrance free, with a very barely perceptible fragrance. I did not notice effects from the product but the size of bottle I had was 10ml and a longer use would be needed.
