This is Shiseido skincare series . It should be cheaper here than in China. If you use SKII, you may want to bring from China because you can't find this brand name here. Same brand name cosmetics stuff is either the same price or cheaper in Canada.
As good brandname clothing, I found the price in China is similar to Canada. Low end clothing is definitely cheaper in China. Same applies to shoes too. Make sure you bring enough pants if you are not taller than 165cm.
Shiseido in Canada is made in US. I have not seen skincare series in China. I did see Bio series in China. The cream costs RMB800 in a department store in China(Parkerson). It costs only CDN$80.
I used Shiseido 吸油纸. It did not work well for me. For a cheaper way to cover shiny T zone, you can use tea tree powder which can be found in drug store here. It costs $5. Or you can get it from China, as vivi4ever said. Hope this helps.
Shiseido can be found in Sears, the Bay... most of major department stores in any mall. Cleaning and cream series like Skincare,Bio and Pureness(spl?) sold in North American seems to be all made in US, at least the ones I used. I noticed some of the free samples are from Japan. Just persaonal experience, I could be wrong .
