For Holiday 2020, Shiseido partnered with Japanese shoe designer Noritaka Tatehana to release a special holiday edition of the brand's bestselling Ultimune Power Infusing Concentrate (C$170 for 75 ml). Promising to "strengthen the skin against daily damage and visible signs of aging", the Ultimune Power Infusing Concentrate serum was originally released in 2014 and was revamped with a more potent formulation in 2018.
