In a monumental expansion of its award-winning anti-aging portfolio, Japanese beauty giant POLA has announced the launch of two new products in its renowned Wrinkle Shot series: the Wrinkle Shot Lotion and Wrinkle Shot Night Cream, both scheduled for release on August 1, 2026.

This strategic release marks a significant evolution for the Wrinkle Shot brand, extending its philosophy beyond the targeted serum that has become a benchmark in wrinkle care across Japan and international markets.

Addressing Dryness-Related Fine Lines

The new Wrinkle Shot Lotion is specifically formulated to combat fine lines caused by dryness, targeting skin conditions where moisturizing care alone proves insufficient. This refreshing oil-in-lotion spreads effortlessly across the skin, delivering deep hydration that leaves the stratum corneum feeling densely packed with moisture and supple.

Priced at ¥9,350 for a 135mL bottle (with refills available at ¥8,800), the lotion represents POLA's commitment to making advanced anti-aging technology accessible within a comprehensive daily skincare routine.

Four Functions in One Revolutionary Night Cream

The Wrinkle Shot Night Cream, classified as a quasi-drug under Japanese regulations, represents a revolutionary approach to nighttime skincare by combining four essential functions: serum, milk, cream, and night mask in a single luxurious formulation.

At ¥13,200 for 40g, this rich cream features POLA's proprietary "Lift Tension Veil" technology, inspired by the brand's professional esthetic plaster mask treatments. This innovative formula creates a highly resilient protective barrier that tightens the skin and shields it from friction and pressure throughout the night, ensuring a firm, toned sensation that persists until morning.

Advanced Ingredient Technology

Both products feature POLA's proprietary complex of beauty ingredients, including "S Night Liquid," "S Protein Liquid," "Motion S Liquid N," and "NERE Liquid N," alongside "YAC Extract" and "EG Clear Extract." The night cream also contains the active ingredient Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate to prevent skin irritation.

The innovative formulation employs a unique encapsulation technology where oil is dispersed in water using veil-tightening ingredients. This allows the cream to spread smoothly upon application, then tighten as the ingredients mix with the oil, creating the signature firming effect.

The Legacy of Wrinkle Shot

The Wrinkle Shot series has long been recognized as a pioneer in pharmaceutical-grade wrinkle care in Japan. The original Wrinkle Shot Serum was the first product in Japan to receive quasi-drug approval for wrinkle improvement, establishing POLA as a leader in evidence-based anti-aging skincare.

This August 2026 expansion demonstrates POLA's continued commitment to innovation in aging-care and brightening-care solutions, bringing professional-grade results to home skincare routines. As the beauty industry increasingly embraces science-backed formulations, POLA's new Wrinkle Shot offerings position the brand at the forefront of the global anti-aging market.
