Description

Elixir Advanced Lotion T II 170ml is a rich-texture anti-aging toner for dry and mature skin that has lost its ability to retain moisture — the toner step in the Shiseido Elixir Advanced two-step system, formulated to restore moisture-retaining capacity rather than simply deposit surface hydration. The "T II" denotes the richer moisture variant (there is a lighter T I available); this is the appropriate choice for moderately dry to dry skin in its 30s and above.

  • W Stem Complex AD (Turmeric Root + Iris Root Extract + Inositol) — Elixir's proprietary complex that supports the skin's moisture-retaining infrastructure at the stratum corneum level
  • Self-Defense CB (Ginkgo Leaf Extract) — supports skin resilience and helps maintain a protective moisture barrier
  • Water-Soluble Collagen (High Concentration) — moisture-binding collagen fraction that improves skin's plumping capacity
  • Rich viscous texture — noticeably thicker than a standard splash toner; serum-adjacent weight that absorbs without stickiness
  • 170ml — standard full-size bottle; pairs with the Elixir Advanced Emulsion T II

How it works: Moisture-retaining capacity declines with age because the NMF (Natural Moisturising Factor) proteins and ceramide content in the stratum corneum decrease — skin becomes "leaky" and cannot hold moisture between applications. W Stem Complex AD targets the cellular machinery that produces these moisture-retaining proteins, progressively restoring the skin's ability to retain hydration rather than requiring perpetually increasing product application.

Elixir Advanced T II vs Hada Labo Gokujyun toner: Hada Labo Gokujyun targets HA-based hydration for general dry skin at a more accessible price point. Elixir Advanced T II uses Shiseido's anti-aging complexes to address declining moisture-retention capacity specific to mature skin. For skin in its 20s experiencing dryness, Hada Labo is sufficient. For skin in its 30s-40s+ where moisture capacity is declining, Elixir Advanced provides a more targeted approach.

Known in Japan as エリクシール アドバンスド ローション Ｔ II 170mL.

Key Ingredients
  • W Stem Complex AD — proprietary blend including turmeric root and iris root extract to help rebuild moisture retention in aging skin
  • Self-Defense CB (Ginkgo Leaf Extract) — supports skin resilience and helps maintain a protective moisture barrier
  • Water-Soluble Collagen (High Concentration) — contributes to a plump, bouncy skin feel with continued use
  • Watercress Extract (Cressonine Extract BG) — a select botanical ingredient supporting overall skin condition

HOW TO USE
  1. After cleansing, pour a generous amount onto a cotton pad — slightly larger than a 500 yen coin.
  2. Hold the pad between your middle and ring fingers and spread gently across the face.
  3. Press the pad softly into skin to encourage absorption.
  4. Follow immediately with Elixir Advanced Emulsion for a complete routine.
  5. Pro tip: Use morning and night — the rich T II moisture level is suitable for all seasons on drier skin types.

FAQ

What does T II mean?

Elixir Advanced Lotion T comes in three moisture levels: T I (light), T II (moist), and T III (very moist). T II is the most popular choice for normal to dry skin and suits most climates year-round.

How is this different from the Elixir Superieur range?

Elixir Advanced focuses on restoring the skin's intrinsic ability to hold moisture over time. Superieur targets lifting and wrinkle improvement more directly. Advanced is the recommended starting point for those new to the Elixir line.

Can oily or combination skin use this?

T II suits normal to dry skin. If your skin tends to be oily or combination, consider T I (light texture). T III is intended for very dry or mature skin needing intensive moisture.

Is this the Japan-domestic version?

Yes. This is the Japan-domestic formula sourced directly from Matsumotokiyoshi and equivalent authorised Japanese drugstores. TokyoShelf carries only the domestic Japanese version — not export editions.
