Secret de Geiko Face Cream 1oz Cream by Chidoriya

I thought this would be way too heavy for my very oily overly sensitive/acne prone skin, but I was completely wrong...its just what I needed. I was intrigued by the anti inflammatory benefits and I, like most dealing with acne will try anything to help. I use it at night only after the peach moon water toner and my skin has become more balanced and calm. My redness has lessened and my acne has diminished. I use a very small amount and warm it up on my fingers then press it on my skin. I've been using this about three weeks now and can go out without foundation, only need a little concealer to hide a few old acne scars that's it. This is a miracle product for me.

This product is amazing. It takes very little to moisturize your face. It is very long lasting.

Miracle cream

Provides nourishing lubrication.

I love this cream. I use it for day use. It is very nourishing and makes cosmetics go on with ease onto a silky canvas. The essential oil in it is a kind of Japanese ginger that has anti-inflammatory and pro-collagen properties to nurture your skin. It leaves your face with a glow that is beautiful and healthy, so that you need less make up. As someone noted, it will be a wonderful cream for the fall/winter season, protecting a woman's skin from the elements of cold and wind, which are very damaging and aging. It is like a layer of cashmere on your face. If you apply a good face powder afterwards, your face will not feel dry and immobile, just wonderful, and the glow will show through.With so many cosmetics and toiletries having ingredients implicated in breast and other cancers, women cannot afford to be seduced only by the glamour of big advertising budgets, but must look critically, just as we look at what we eat. The products we use on a day to day basis are not only part of our own sacred care rituals, but must add to our beauty, health, and well-being, not build disease and loss into our lives with each application, to reap a harvest of tears later.I am very pleased to have discovered Chidorya when a cream I'd relied on for years was discontinued, and have seen improvements in my skin with their products. They are made with artisan care, using old techniques to extract precious ingredients. We join in a tradition of Japanese beauty that goes back many hundreds of years, such as the use of camellia oil.In addition to Secret of Geiko and Secret of Maiko (which I use at night for cell regeneration with rosehip oil and relaxing essential oils), I recommend their pure camellia oil. What a lovely indulgence! A few drops warmed in your hands and put through the ends of wet hair before styling is something that goes back to the noble ladies of the Edo court in Japan. Indulge yourself in the treasures of Chidorya and experience their passion for traditional Japanese ingredients and quality.

I have been using this cream for two months (always at night, about 50% of daytime depending on which sunscreen I use.) I purchased it from a local store that started carrying the line, and started by trying the 'starter kit' with this product in it. I like it so much, I now have a full size of the product. FIRST: This is perfect for sensitive skin. It has soothing organic shea butter, soothing camellia oil and the Gettou (Alpinia Zerumbet) Oil which is considered an antioxidant and also soothing to sensitive skin/anti-inflammatory - that's it, 3 ingredients. SECOND: You need VERY VERY LITTLE for full coverage. Take only the tiniest amount (less than half a fingernail!) and then pat it between your (clean) fingertips. It will melt into an 'oil." Then pat that gently into your skin, everywhere. My skin just drinks it up and is not oily afterwards (I have combo skin, so some natural oil, but dry, red, rosacea prone cheeks and overall sun-damaged skin. I highly recommend getting the 'try me' kit with this product so you can also try the "peace moon water" which I use before I pat this on (and I surprisingly LOVE that too!) I wake up to smooth, soft skin that is soothed and looks normal! That is HIGH praise from me! I'm almost 50 and have 'tried it all' and love this formulation which makes my skin feel "normal" and soft and look beautiful. This has no obvious fragrance, no added colors, no dyes, no added perfumes or scents: Just three simple natural yet beautifully combined and complimentary ingredients - HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

I really love these face cream. Ingredients are 100% natural. My skin is soft and hydrated. I use it everyday and my very sensitive skin do not have allergic reaction. For me it's a must have. I recommend it !

perfect for cold weather on face and neck skin. perfect also after sun exposure. very nourishing. best for very dry skin.
