Shiseido Medicated Baby Pressed Powder Review

Shiseido is one of the beauty brands that I always deemed intimidating. This is not only because of its steep price range but also because of the fact that it's a staple in my mom's beauty regime. I considered this as something I would probably use when I was older. Imagine my surprise when my sister discovered Shiseido Medicated Baby Pressed Powder during her recent trip to Japan. 

Shiseido's Medicated Baby Pressed Powder is formulated for babies who have sensitive skin and are allergic to regular powder. It's used to soothe and calm babies' skin, prevent diaper rash, excessive sweating, etc.

This powder comes in a rather bulky blue and white packaging with a twisting top cap sans a compact mirror. It's complimentary puff is reminiscent of the typical baby powder puff we're familiar with from our childhood.

It's texture is powdery fine but it also has enough creaminess for it to melt flawlessly into your skin. The powder is white but it becomes translucent once blended in the skin. It may leave a white cast but it is not a problem as long as you blend it well.

It's unscented (well, sort of). You'll get a whiff of a milky scent if you really try to intentionally smell it, otherwise, it's not really that noticeable. I thought it would smell something similar to other medical products because of it being 'medicated', but fortunately it doesn't.

I've been using this everyday as a setting powder ever since I received it. My skin immediately feels refreshed and silky smooth upon application. I apply it using the puffer but if you prefer to use a powder brush, that's fine as well. I don't find the need to re-apply throughout the day because it keeps the oiliness at bay. Seriously though, it's oil control ability is amazing. At times, I could reach the end of my day and still be shine-free. I don't even bring it with me anymore, so the bulky packaging doesn't bother me. It would even work well as a stand alone powder for days when you just want your face to breath or maybe as a blotting powder.

In the Philippines, it's currently only available at some local online stores(check Go Sasha PH) and retails for around PHP350.

I highly recommend Shiseido Medicated Baby Powder (Pressed) for anyone in need of an amazing powder that's mild, fragrant-free, versatile and affordable. If you have oily or sensitive skin, this is definitely worth the try.

I hope you enjoyed my first ever product review. Until next time.
