“Ultimune”, what in heaven’s name does that mean? Hmm. It’s probably a combo of ultimate and “immune”. Immune from wrinkles, maybe? Anyway, I am almost finished with a tube of Shiseido IBUKI Eye Correcting Cream that I reviewed a long time ago (here). Since I wrote the initial review ages ago, I have come to …
