Slowly but surely, I’m making my way through Shiseido’s IBUKI skincare line. I was wondering what IBUKI meant, so I went to the Shiseido website and looked it up and also got a better understanding of the benefits of the IBUKI line. “IBUKI means “inner strength” in Japanese and this skincare collection helps correct imperfections, dryness and roughness while providing optimal hydration. IBUKI helps strengthen skin’s resistance for clear and stable skin every day.”
I think this is such an innovative skincare line because it seems to target skin conditions that I thought might be opposites: dryness (which I have) and imperfections (that I thought meant breakouts and enlarged pores but could just as easily include my big concern, dark spots). Anyway, I think all of us are seeking “optimal hydration”, and I think we can each see ourselves and our skincare needs in the IBUKI description.
Shiseido has recently sent me two IBUKI skincare sets, each of which includes a generously-sized makeup bag. Today’s post focuses on the Shiseido IBUKI Eye Correcting Cream that arrived in a beautiful nickel metallic makeup bag. I can never have enough eye creams or makeup bags!
The Eye Correcting Cream comes in a creamy beige colored plastic tube, and the cream itself is the same color. It’s relatively lightweight, absorbs very quickly and is non-greasy. It has a very light, fresh, pleasant scent that to me is barely perceptible upon application and does not in any way irritate my sensitive eyes. Shiseido IBUKI Eye Correcting Cream is suitable for both women and men.
This eye cream was formulated to help diminish the appearance of dark circles, puffiness and fine lines caused by dryness. Although my dark circles are still with me, my major concerns are crow’s feet and loose skin above my lids. Shiseido IBUKI Eye Correcting Cream helps decrease the appearance of both. At my age, I’m not expecting the eye cream to roll back the clock, but the hydration it provides softens my crow’s feet and helps temporarily firm the skin around my eyes. It is a soothing cream that doesn’t irritate my seriously sensitive skin. The cream contains Shiseido’s PhytoResist Complex to help skin maintain moisture, refine texture and builds skin’s resistance to external stressors like oxidation. I like this gentle eye cream a lot.
Shiseido IBUKI Eye Correcting Cream is an Allure Breakthrough Product Winner. It’s dermatologist tested. It is priced at $40 for 15 ml/0.53 oz. It is available on the Shiseido website, at Macy’s, Nordstrom, Bloomingdale’s, Lord & Taylor, Saks Fifth Avenue, Sephora and other fine retailers.

I have heard a lot about the Shiseido line but have yet to try it. That’s a good reason to want to win the Shiseido IBUKI Eye Correcting Cream & makeup bag.
Yes, that is a good reason, Mary! Shiseido skincare is wonderful. And I have bought two of their fantastic lash curlers so far. Next, I’d like to try their makeup. Thank you for entering the giveaway and good luck!
I need some good hydration around the eye area – I have sensitive eyes too so I’d like to give it a go as you say it didn’t irritate yours.
I am always a little wary when I’m sent a new eye cream to try out, but Shiseido IBUKI Eye Correcting Cream is so gentle. Love it! Thank you for entering, Heather, and good luck!
I’m always looking for help with my eyes, I have bags and crows feet, so I’d love to find something that’ll help ease the looks of those a bit.
I love Shiseido skincare products, Amy, and the eye correcting cream is so gentle and lovely! Thank you for entering and good luck!
The minute I hit 35 I swear to you I noticed more lines around my eyes. I’ll check this out!

This cool, comforting eye cream by Shiseido diminishes the appearance of dark circles, puffiness and fine lines caused by dryness. Sounds good to me!
Although Shiseido describes it as “cool”, it doesn’t seem that way to me, but it is definitely “comforting” and soothing. I love it, and I think you would too, Susan. Thanks for entering and good luck!
One day I’m going to try that Ibuki gel, but maybe I’ll get to try the eye cream! lol. My aging eyes get puffy and dry from staring at my computer (and tablet, and phone… ) all the time! time for some R&R.

I’ve heard so many great things about Shiseido but never had the chance to try any products so would love to win.
Thanks, Robin, for entering! You’re right, Shiseido skincare is fabulous. Good luck 🙂
This sounds awesome!
I love beauty products and trying things out(:
It is fun to try new beauty products for sure. I think you’d really like the Shiseido IBUKI Eye Correcting Cream. Good luck in the giveaway, Ashley!
I didn’t realize that they also had an eye cream. I’m always looking into eye creams, gotta stop aging (and soon!! LOL).
MarciaF recently posted…Get a glow! Vita Liberata review and giveaway
I’m with you, Marcia. When you figure it out, please share!
I’ve got the Multi Purpose Gel on my ‘need to try’ list, but this sounds pretty great too! I’ve been using an Ibuki starter kit (and love the range) but it didn’t include the eye cream or gel.
Bailey recently posted…Essence How to Make… Makeup Boxes
I know you’ll love the Multi-Purpose Gel. The Eye Correcting Cream is lovely: gentle, brightening and firming. I have the starter kit too with three deluxe size products that are very nice.
I’m also looking for a good eye cream.
Cindy (Prime Beauty) recently posted…Pantone Color of the Year Rose Quartz with Youngblood Cosmetics!
The Shiseido IBUKI Eye Correcting Cream is very nice. Relatively lightweight or lightweight depending on your POV, little to no scent, very gentle, and it does a nice job hydrating my sensitive eye area. I like it.
I love Shiseido skincare! I used their Pureness line all throughout college!
Julie recently posted…Top Makeup Products of 2015

Eye creams are my jam! I think finding a good one is as important as finding a good moisturizer.
Couldn’t agree more!
Dark circles are the bane of my existence! This sounds a great product to try!

I haven’t tried any of Shiseido’s products yet, but I hear nothing about good things! I’m not usually picky about eye creams (as long as they hydrate, we’re good to go), so it sounds like I’d enjoy this one! Thanks for looking up what Ibuki meant. I thought it was just a word–I didn’t know it meant anything!
Sammi the Beauty Buff recently posted…Year in Review: 2015 Blog Overview
I figured that IBUKI must mean something in Japanese but I had no idea what. Nice to find out what it meant to better understand this product line since they have several. Hope you entered, Sammi!!
I have not tried an eye correcting cream and I am interested to see the results on me.
LaTanya, because you recently won the PUR Cosmetics Cameo Contour giveaway, would you please sit this one out, per my “rules” in the giveaway post? Sorry! But I do think you’d like the Shiseido Eye Correcting Cream 😉
No problem. Thanks.
High end skincare is a luxury for me and do not always have the chance to get it. Shiseido is a trusted brand that I would love to add to my arsenal. Plus, who wouldnt want that bag? 🙂
I agree with you 100%, Diana! Thank you for entering and good luck 🙂
I love the Ibuki Gel that I received a few months ago. This eye cream sounds like a winner as well!
Kristina recently posted…Zoya Whispers Transitional Collection 2016
friends ask me where i am going on my vacations; the only problem is that i am not going any place, the bags that are packed are under my eyes. i definitely need this product, so thanks so much for giving me a chance to win it.
I am laughing out loud, Judy! It’s a nice eye cream. I’m glad you entered. Good luck 🙂
The skin around my eyes is showing my age the most. I’d love to try this cream for help.
The Shiseido IBUKI Eye Correcting Cream is a good one! Thanks for entering and good luck 🙂
I definitely need to start worrying about aging around my eyes! I just never had time to think about it after giving birth to our daughter but now that she’s a slight bit more self sufficient (but way more dictatorial), I figure I can sneak some time to focus on myself this year. This would be great to win, thanks for the giveaway!
How old is she now, Amy? Sounds adorable! But yes, you need some me time 😉 thank you for entering and good luck!
She is not quite 2.5 going on 15, silly, sweet, high-energy, and very assertive. My poor husband–she has her dad completely wound around her little finger.
How wonderful, Amy! If only 2 1/2 year olds ran the world! It sounds like she is well-prepared! xoxo
I love the Shiseido brand and would love to try the ibuki eye correcting cream around my eyes. I think guys should for sure moisturize.
I agree with you 100%, Aaron. Shiseido is a wonderful gender-neutral brand. Thanks for entering and good luck!
I love both the name – inner strength – and the idea of finally “growing up” and actually using an eye cream, which everyone keeps on telling me is an essential part of a decent skincare regimen.
It’s probably never too early to start using an eye cream, Ms. Elise! I agree with you, I was amazed when I learned that Ibuki means inner strength – how wonderful! Thank you for entering the giveaway and good luck 🙂
I would love to win to try this product for my eye puffiness and occasional dark circles! Thanks so much!
Shiseido IBUKI Eye Correcting Cream is quite wonderful, and it brightens the under eye area making those dark circles less visible. Thank you for subscribing and for entering, Amanda, and good luck to you!
I would love to try this for my under eye bags 🙂
Good reason to give it a go! thanks for entering, Adriana, and good luck!
I’m a Registered Nurse and work in Labor and Delivery 3-4 nights a week and many weeks I’m called into work because of the increase in deliveries this time of year and at times the dark circles and puffiness of my eyes are insane and I would love to try this product and see if it can help them. I’ve tried a huge number of other brands of eye cream that promises to help rid my eyes of the ugly dark circles and puffiness but have never really worked to my satisfaction!
Oh wow, that is so interesting, Stephanie, that deliveries increase at this time of year! I never knew that. I thought births would be more or less equally dispersed throughout the year. Fascinating. Well, working so many late nights, you deserve a good eye cream! Shiseido IBUKI Eye Correcting Cream has a brightener so your under eye area looks brighter right away, but I still use some concealer 😉 Thank you for entering and good luck 🙂
I would like to try this because I have always wanted to try Shiseido’s products. I also really want to try it because I have started to have dark circles and lines around my eyes. That’s what having a baby/toddler will do to you I guess 🙂 ty for the chance! my mom has raved about shiseido for so long but I haven’t tried anything from them. I tried her facewash a long time ago and that’s all.
Yes, having a toddler keeps you on your toes for sure! Your mom is right, Shiseido is a wonderful skincare and makeup brand! I know you’d like it. Thank you for entering and good luck!
The Shiseido SPF 15 emulsion that I had was amazing and had the most wonderful smell. All the samples I’ve tried are amazing…just out of my price range currently, so I’d love to win this eye cream.
The SPF 15 emulsion sounds great, Chelsea. I haven’t tried it yet, so far only the IBUKI line but I love what I’ve tried. Thank you for entering and good luck!
I have really dark circles under my eyes from stress 🙁 I would love to try this out to see if it helps any!
Worth a shot, Rachel! The Shiseido IBUKI Eye Correcting Cream has a brightener in it so dark circles instantly look less obvious and eyes look brighter. Thanks for entering and good luck!
After the holiday whirl followed by two weeks of sick kids, my eyes need a serious intervention!
Oh wow, you do need a treat, MJ! Shiseido IBUKI Eye Correcting Cream certainly would help. Thank you for entering and good luck 🙂
I want to win b/c I have a serious problem with puffiness under my eyes and who doesn’t need another make-up bag.
Agree completely, Laura! The makeup bag is very soft and pretty too!
I’d love to win the Shiseido IBUKI Eye Correcting Cream & makeup bag because I have pretty severe dark circles and would love to find something that helps.
The Shiseido IBUKI Eye Correcting Cream has a brightener in it so dark circles look a little less dark right from the get-go. And long term, it is supposed to help fade them. My dark circles aren’t too bad so I can’t tell if they have faded but the brightener makes a big difference for me, Alona. Thank you for entering and good luck!
This sounds like such an awesome product. I would love to try it because I think it would reduce fine lines and dark circles that I have. I work in an ER so I think that helps to contribute my dark circles!
Oh, I can imagine what it must be tiring and stressful working in the ER. The Shiseido IBUKI Eye Correcting Cream is a great product and it would certainly help. Thanks for entering, Starla, and good luck!
HI! I would love to try this bag of products because I’m almost 30 and I think it’s nice to have a little pick me up for my eyes in the morning. This looks simple to use
At 30, it is a good habit to get in to using eye cream every morning and every night. The Shiseido IBUKI Eye Correcting Cream is so easy to use and it does such a good job brightening the eye area too. Thanks for entering, Loraine, and good luck!
im starting to get bags around my eyes being 34..
help! I need this- thanks 🙂
courtney b recently posted…3 Things you should never Wear to a Wedding
Oh no, Courtney! time for eye cream. The Shiseid IBUKI Eye Correcting Cream is such a nice one. Even though I’m supposed to be testing out another brand, I keep reaching for this one. Thanks for entering and good luck!
I’d love to try this, ever since I turned 40 I’ve really noticed how loose the skin is above my eyes. I’ve always battled dark circles and puffiness. I believe we all do from stress and lack if sleep. I’ve tried many eye products but nothing this higher end. It would definitely be a treat and exciting to see results.
Raine, the Shiseido iBUKI Eye Correcting Cream has a brightener in it that’s amazing for camouflaging dark circles. I use it on the loose skin above my eyes and it does help temporarily. A lovely cream. Thanks for entering and good luck!
I am starting to have dark eye circles so I need a good eye cream. Also, my mom would love to have a new makeup bag.
The brightener in this eye cream makes an instant difference by camouflaging dark circles, Lucy. Thanks for entering and good luck!
I am in my mid thirties and feeling and seeing it. I would love to help them look younger.
Mid-thirties is the perfect time to start using eye cream. Shiseido IBUKI Eye Correcting Cream is a wonderful one. Thanks for entering, Amy, and good luck!
Omg…ive just recently been noticing more crows feet and wrinkles so I trust my anti aging to Shiseido more than anyone!
Shiseido sure could be a helper, Leah! Thanks for entering and good luck 🙂
Shiseido products are so nice! I could use some new eye cream and I love that this one is in a tube; I hate the ones in little tubs because it seems so unsanitary to keep sticking your fingers in it.
Leah, I really love this eye cream in spite of the fact that I have to move on to testing something else, I keep coming back to it. Thanks for entering and good luck!
I’d like to try it because I’ve never used any Shiseido products, but I’d like to. Also, I’ve been needing an eye cream.
Good reasons, Julie 🙂 Shiseido is a fabulous brand that’s worth getting to know. Thanks for entering and good luck!
I have very dry undereyes and skin in general so I would love to try this for that reason. Thanks for the chance to win.
Shiseido makes fab skincare and I know you’d enjoy this eye cream, Summer. Thanks again for letting me know about the problem with the subscription box. I don’t seem to be able to fix it on my own so I’m looking for technical help. I hope you were able to take advantage of the other options for additional points. Thank you for entering the giveaway and good luck tonight in the drawing!
I have spent an hour trying to follow this blog but when I hit the submit button nothing happens. I also tried 2 other devices and still no luck. I of course did the captcha so it’s not that. I should get a confirmation page right?
Thanks, Summer, for letting me know. I’m so sorry. I certainly don’t want to discourage new subscribers. Let me see what’s going on. I just created a new popup, but it sounds like you were using the one on the home page that should work! Again, sorry.
Summer, you probably think I’m crazy at this point but I got the subscription box to work again without the reCaptcha so if you feel like trying again, please do. I hate IT (info tech)!!
The older I get, the darker and puffier my undereye circles are…I’d love to find something that helps!
The brightener in the Shiseido IBUKI Eye Correcting Cream is great! Thanks, Andrea, for entering and good luck!
Please, please, depuff and debag me!
Thanks so much!
That is hysterical, Gail! Thank you for entering, and good luck 🙂
I would love to win this for my mother
Very nice, Stephanie! Thanks for getting in under the wire! Good luck
This is a product line I have always wanted to try, but havent yet.
