Hathaway’s authenticity is loved across the globe, and her timeless elegance, combined with her dedicated work with the UN and other charitable work reflect a deep strength. Through her work, we have witnessed an inspiring woman who encourages us to reach our inner potential to create a better world.

Shiseido believes that Hathaway perfectly represents the versatility of Vital Perfection series, which enables you to reach the greatest potential of your skin. Moreover, she is the embodiment of the Vital Perfection’snew message that “Potential Has No Age,” celebrating the inner beauty enhanced by appreciating each and every stage of life.

Shiseido hopes to encourage its customers to embrace their current stage in life, to try new things, and to adapt, through conveying the message, “Potential Has No Age”. Potential is essentially power from the future that we can tap into now to live our best lives. Potential is always there, and we can always harness it, no matter what stage we are in life – just like we can love our current skin, we can take care of our future skin.

“While Ms. Hathaway has earned ever-increasing respect globally for her range as an actor, and her many talents, it is her sophistication, resilience and her respectful perspective of inner and outer beauty that make her the ideal Ambassador for Vital Perfection” says Shiho Nagasaka, vice president of Global Marketing and Communication for Shiseido.

Hathaway explained how “Potential Has No Age” resonates with her and her life experience.  

“It’s so upsetting to hear age misidentified as a barrier for growth.  I would rather we celebrate it for the gift it is.  To me, it is an exciting privilege to grow older and hopefully have the opportunity to learn more about oneself.  I hope people feel excited to explore their potential always,” she says.

“I have tried to invest in my skin as I observed from the women in my family that my skin would be something that would take care of me if I took care of it.  I now understand my skin to be connected to my overall health and wellbeing.  Over a longer timeline, it becomes apparent that beauty is definitely something that comes from within.”

Hathaway was also drawn to Vital Perfection’sphilosophy of harmonious cooperation with the skin’s natural processes and potential.

“I love that the Vital Perfection  has been created to work harmoniously with the body. It’ss based on research that taps into the same networks that encourage the flow of nutrients to nourish skin and ensures it looks its best, working efficiently and naturally with the body, giving the best possible skincare results,” she adds.

Vital Perfection was born after decades of research into anti-aging skincare for Asian skin. In the pursuit of skincare innovation, Shiseido has developed breakthrough formulas that have been proven to deliver superior age-defying power.

The line goes deeper than most other anti-aging products to work harmoniously with the skin’s natural processes to harness its potential. It works with your skin’s existing networks to encourage the flow of nutrients that nourish and beautify your skin. In this way it acts in partnership with your body to uncover your skin’s deepest potential, no matter your age.

The star of this campaign is the highly effective Intensive WrinkleSpot Treatment, a breakthrough cream formula developed to reduce the appearance of age-related concerns, such as deep wrinkles, dark spots, and loss of firmness, and address them with key ingredients and technology.

After 30 years of research, Shiseido developed a special tube that blocks out oxygen and light, protecting against the degradation of Pure Retinol.

Shiseido’s cutting-edge technology and ingredients combined with high stability standards ensures WrinkeSpot Treatment delivers high performing results, by visibly improving various wrinkles on the face.

Vital Perfection LiftDefine Radiance Serum helps create a luminous, even complexion. Enhance results by applying with a one-minute massage to face and neck for boosted beauty circulation and a fresh, youthful look.

The intensive-care formula targets signs of aging in the lower half of the face—an area that experiences relatively significant age-related change. The formula brightens dullness and diminishes the appearance of skin concerns and create a firmer, more defined look.

Vital Perfection was formulated in 2014 under the company’s flagship brand Shiseido. Currently, the series consists of 15 products, including day and night treatments, masks and the breakthrough formula Intensive Wrinkle Spot Treatment that has been proven to reduce the appearance of deep wrinkles in four weeks.
