ShiKai Lotion, Dry Skin Therapy, Borage, 8-Ounces (Pack of 2)

My doctor suggested I get this for my eczema. Though I've been using this product, my eczema hasn't altered. Since my doctor told me to use it, I'll likely keep doing so. No smell. Thin consistency.Update 11/9/2018After discovering the reason I have eczema is candida of the digestive system (also known unappealingly as "leaky gut"), I went on a hunt for any and every cream to help the crazy itching stop. I literally tried over 20 creams (at many expense levels) and the most effective product was Wild Naturals Eczema & Psoriasis Cream. Wild Natural's Eczema cream layers well with the Borage Therapy lotion. The candida was diagnosed through a blood test after I'd been suffering from eczema and seborrheic dermatitis for almost 3 years. After 3 weeks of the candida diet (no sugar, yeast/gluten, or dairy), I'm not having the outbreak of eczema!!! I combined this product with one other topical ointment that my doctor suggested: PurO3 Fully Ozonated Olive Oil salve. The one on my bedside table is Mustela Stelatopia Emollient Balm, Rich Daily Baby Cream for Extremely Dry to Eczema Prone Skin. Changing my soap was a huge game-changer as well. My most favorite and delightful surprise for soap (and many of their products) is Tree to Tub's Gentle, Sensitive Skin Body Wash. I loved this so much, I got some plus the shampoo for my step-mom, who is suffering from a wicked case of psoriasis (she LOVES it)! In the shower, I use lye soap. Even if the eczema stays gone (which is ideal), I now know how to help keep my skin hydrated and protected during the dry winter months. Best wishes to you and healing your skin!!!

I love this lotion, and have used it for years as a gentle face cream for sensitive skin. I have always bought it in person at Whole Foods, and between the pandemic and that it is very cold here right now, decided to just buy it via Amazon. Well, the expiration date on it is February of 2019. Amazon refunded me, which is great, but I know have to go out and buy it in person, which I would have done several days ago, but was waiting on the shipment. CS acknowledged this is totally on the Amazon warehouse folks who should be checking expiration dates(it also has dried up lotion around the outside of the pump). Considering that we have made Bezos even richer this past year from us using Amazon more purely as part of doing the right thing of social distancing, it really does suck that it has basically been a gambling crapshoot about if your product will arrive in shape or not. I have had things arrive that the expiration date was too soon, but this is the first time I’ve received something that was expired, let alone by more than a year.

Totally satisficed with this transaction in all ways. This is a wonderful product,a great moisturizer. non greasy. Works as described which is a rare thing in today's market. I will buy again and again. I am an outdoorsman, and really appreciate this product, as my hands get very rough with frequent splitting and cracking of my skin, especially after getting wet. This lotion works!

Very hydrating. Don't waste money on anything else.I arrived back to Alaska in winter with 5% humidity. My skin instantly turned from healthy hydrated skin to fish skaley skin. I tried so many lotions. Nothing worked ... Only this lotion saved my skin. I only had to use it once or twice and my skin returned to healthy smooth skin. Now, I only use it once a week after washing a lot of dishes.No irritation, very hydrating and calms my skin

This is going to be a bit of an unusual review, so bear with me please.In my reviews on Shea Butter and African Black Soap I mention how our daughter suffered for several years from fairly severe eczema which we've since gotten under control and almost eliminated (thank you, ITSAN). For a long time during the eczema ShiKai Lotion was the product we settled on to moisturize her skin. The lotion went on easily, had no scent, and kept her skin moister for longer than any other product we'd tried to that point.Now if you or someone you care about has ever suffered from eczema, you know how valuable it is to find something that helps (or even something that simply doesn't make things worse). You also know how variable the results are with any product for any given individual - what works for one eczema sufferer may not work for another and may actually make things worse for a third.So had I written this review before discovering shea butter, I would have given this product five stars. However, since the shea butter worked better for us, I can only give it four stars. That is not to say this ShiKai Lotion is a bad product by any means. In fact, for you it might be the perfect product for all the reasons it was our favorite for a long time. But for us, shea butter ended up performing better in all those categories.So I don't want to discourage anyone from trying this product; borage lotion is a very good moisturizer. At the same time, I would like you to be aware that there is something out there that might work better and is also a greater value.

It took a bit long to arrive - but that is expected when sending products to Finland. Otherwise, the product and service was great. I would order again.

Great cream - works wonders!

Really excellent skin cream, borage make sdifference I think

This cream is great, it soothes and smooths my dry skin and it does not feel greasy. I have fussy skin, this does not build up on my skin and flake off later, I can not use it on my face however. I would recommend people try it.

This is a lovely lotion. I use it on my face as well. Wish I could ship it out for gifts.
