Dermaceutical Facial Care Products
ShiKai products are made of some natural ingredients and also contain Vitamin C and Borage Oil. Borage Oil is supposed to provide long-term moisture by reducing water loss. Overall I was impressed with the simple formulations and how quickly they absorbed.

Daytime Facial Moisturizer ($13.99 for 3.5 oz.)
Having oily skin, I really enjoyed this moisturizer. I found that it was just enough moisture for drier winter months, but because it's pretty light I can't wait to use it in the summer also. It absorbs quickly and has SPF 15. I was able to apply foundation shortly after application. For the price, this is a nice general use moisturizing lotion for normal to oily skin types. I intend to continue using it even after my "test drive!" Packaged in a plastic squeeze bottle so you can use as much or as little as you need.

Nighttime Renewal Cream ($19.99 for 1 oz.)
ShiKai says this product will reduce age spots, improve skin texture and lessen fine lines. I found that the Nighttime Renewal Cream also absorbed well. When I woke up in the morning I actually thought my skin texture looked much smoother. I tend to have oily skin and mornings can be especially bad (shiny!). This product made my skin feel clean and smooth. My theory is if you like a night cream, you are more apt to wear it regularly and thus prevent the fine lines. I would recommend this for normal and oily skin. Packaged in a small glass bottle with pump.

Eye Renewal Cream ($20.99 for .5 oz.)
Rarely do I try an eye cream that doesn't make my eye makeup run or make my eyes puffy when I wake up. Once again, this cream absorbs quickly. It leaves an instant smooth and firm feeling around the eyes. I could apply makeup right away without it smearing. When used at night, I never experienced the morning puffiness. Packaged in a small glass bottle with pump that lets you use less product.

Also available in this line are Facial Cleanser for Delicate & Sensitive Skin and a wonderfully simple-sounding Hydrating Toner.

You can find ShiKai products online at shikai.com as well as at natural food stores.
