Jamie, Philly: ''what a difference a day makes!... Just like Elizabeth, I tried the sample & am simply amazed. I've developed a forehead crease over the last year & after one sweep with the sample, it's half-gone.
So now I'm going to have to buy another item from this wonderful store that I almost wish I hadn't found, just because I've spent so much here already on their excellent products. As soon as I get my TrueRewards code (such a great feature!), I am checking it out & making it a part of my daily routine (with all the other great items I've found here). I just love this store!!!'' Item 4000: Komenuka Bijin NS-K Special Serum Toner - 120ml
Berkley, CA: ''This product is truly unbelievable.... I have tried samples of this serum and I am completely amazed. I use the very best facial products but have never found anything that I could say makes a dramatic difference. This product is truly unbelievable. I have other products from this line and like them well enough but this one is ideal for aging skin.'' Item 4000: Komenuka Bijin NS-K Special Serum Toner - 120ml
odie, USA: ''good performer... I've tried several brands of charcoal soap. I live in an arid area and have sensitive and dry skin.
Pros:
Cleans well.
Good for sensitive skin.
Doesn't dry out my skin.
Price is very good for getting 3 good size bars.
Foams well, don't have to use too much like other charcoal soaps.
Cons:
Only one- and that's the smell. It literally smells like crayons! I'm assuming it's from the bamboo? Don't know. Skin doesn't smell like the soap after use which is good. I still gave this 5 stars as the smell doesn't affect performance. Smell is strong when you first open the package but dwindles after use.
*** Wanted to add: This stuff lasts ALOT longer per bar than other charcoal soaps i've tried.'' Item 5013: Sumi Haigou Settuken Charcoal Bar Soap - 3 bars, 135g each
A. Westwood, Hollis, NH: ''Much better than mass-produced products... I purchased this for the clay/charcoal mixture to deal with itchy-scalp that persists despite conventional Dandruff shampoos.
It is effective, but more important, it leave my hair and scalp feeling clean and fresh without the medicated and harsh chemicals that mass-produced American products use.
A natural product that smells nice, works well, is reasonably priced and avoids the nasty chemicals that mass-produced products can't seem to stop using.
'' Item 4218-b: Pelican DEI-TAN-SEKI Clay & Charcoal Shampoo - 500ml
Sheepish, US: ''Skin feels good.... I love how this soap makes my skin feel. I have a mild condition that requires a topical steroid cream and this doesn't seem to bother it at all, in fact I've noticed when I use it my skin doesn't need the cream as often, if at all.'' Item 5013: Sumi Haigou Settuken Charcoal Bar Soap - 3 bars, 135g each
Dehlia, Denver, CO: ''Best bath salts I've had... I've been using this for almost 2 years now and I love love love them! They smell wonderful, leave your skin silky smooth, and stimulate warmth in your body.
I am a huge fan of baths. A lot of people in the western world stop taking baths by about puberty, as it is seen as an activity reserved for children and not as effective in cleaning or as quick as a shower. However, bathing culture is completely different in East Asia, where individuals continue to use bathtubs as part of their daily routine well into adulthood. It is seen as a place of relaxation and rest, more than an act of cleaning. One of the best places for this activity in Japan is a natural hot spring (Onsen). However, naturally occurring hot springs aren?t exactly something every person can access, so how do we get the benefits of a hot spring in our own homes?
Enter the Tabi no Yoda hot spring bath salts, made and sold right out of Japan with minerals directly from the source. They come in either a clear or ?milky? variety, and this package has the clear bath salts.
Out of the myriad of bath powders, salts, and gels I have used, these are by far my favorite. Each little packet represents a famous Japanese Onsen and the minerals in that particular hot spring. They?re identifiable by their soft, pleasant scents and milky colors.
Bathing in these bath salts is as if you?ve been transported right into the hot spring, and you feel yourself sinking into the bliss as soon as you enter the bath. Not only is it a comforting experience, it is also a beneficial one. The minerals are said to relax the muscles and stimulate nerves, warming up the body and keeping it warm. For this reason, I really enjoy using these in the winter time when my body needs to retain as much heat as it can. After the bath, you will immediately notice how the scent lingers on your skin for the rest of the day, and makes it silky smooth, as well.
I give these a 10 out of 10. They are heavenly to use, and I?ll purchase them for as long as I can.'' Item 3069: Tabino Yado Hot Springs Clear Bath Salts Assortment Pack from Kracie (15 25g Packets, 375g total)
