Shiseido Professional SUBLIMIC Aqua Intensive Mask is a deeply nourishing treatment designed to restore moisture, strength and softness to dry, damaged hair.
This intensive mask penetrates weakened strands to help repair visible damage and replenish essential hydration from within. Its rich conditioning formula improves elasticity and resilience while smoothing rough, brittle areas for a softer and more manageable finish. Ideal for dry, chemically treated or frequently heat-styled hair, it helps protect against further moisture loss and reduces the appearance of damage. Hair is left feeling revitalised, silky and easier to detangle, with improved shine, flexibility and long-lasting hydration without an excessively heavy or coated feel.
