Janie C, USA: ''Leaves Skin Flawless - minimizes pores... I am 40 years old and still get pimples because I have large pores that get clogged easily. The soap I was using (Acne Aid) got discontinued. The apothecary recommended this product and it works amazingly.
I wish I could have tried it sooner. My pores have reduced in size and my skin is so soft and clear. I use it twice daily followed with Noxzema Triple Clean pads. My skin has not looked better thanks to this routine.
Please try this soap if you have large pores or a lot of blackheads.'' Item 5030: Pelican DEI-TAN-SEKI Clay & Charcoal Facial Cleansing Bar - 150g
Bryce, Wisconsin: ''Edward... This soap is sooo good! Lathers up well with the Japanese wash cloth. Left the body and face soft and smooth feeling. It didn't dry out the skin. Even the next day the skin is smooth and soft without dryness. I'll keep using it.'' Item 5013: Sumi Haigou Settuken Charcoal Bar Soap - 3 bars, 135g each
Kasia S., new york, NY: ''Worth all the hype... When it comes to beauty I believe that cleanliness is one of the most important steps along with applying SPF creams and moisturizers, drinking water and sleeping (which is hard to do since I love to read till the wee hours). Cleansing loosens dirt particles, dislodges makeup stuck in every nook and crevice or prepares the face for the new day ahead. Morning and evening ritual of face washing can be a sweet indulgence, especially when I pamper it with the fancy Komenuka Bijin rice bran powder. The container houses thirty packets and each one can provide about three or more uses, depending how much is poured out. I love to mix the pale grains into a smooth and creamy paste that caress my face with a soft flurry of gently cleaning lather.
I won't repeat the list of ingredients as each Komenuka product comes with instructions and a detailed list of exotic items. The glow my face obtains with this wash is really fabulous and there is no dryness and discomfort, in fact I look forward to washing my face and take great pleasure at the benefits I can feel and see. Without thorough cleansing, it would take about twenty five days for the dirt and build up to wear off the face, not including the dirt that would start piling up on top of the skin as it would try to slough itself off. Proper care is necessary for a harmonious relationship with our biggest organ that expresses even the tiniest nuance, joy or discord through our facial muscles and the quality of the epidermis. The tiny grains in this powder blend well with water and are portable and easy to take when traveling as no one wants to drag bottles of creams and liquids on any trip. I also recommend the shampoo and conditioner form this line as they are truly standout products that do make a difference in how my skin and hair looks and feels.'' Item 4008-30: Komenuka Bijin Facial Cleansing Powder from Natural Rice Bran - 30 Packs
Devita Heath, BELLWOOD, IL: ''beautiful... My Shoyeido Oasis Round Ceramic Incense Holder arrived on the scheduled delivery date. I purchased this item as a gift, and the recipient was very happy with this beautiful Incense Holder!'' Item 7129: Shoyeido HandCrafted Ceramic Round Incense Burner/Holder - Oasis
Chris H. Welter, Bay Area, CA USA: ''Feels like heaven... This stuff works and smells nice. My friend has some wounds that seemed to heal up a single use, which is amazing. It feels great but you have to make sure all the salts used are completely are dissolved or it feels like sand at the bottom of the bath, so just run a hand on the bottom to dissolve any remaining salts. Next to that, the blue color is a nice touch and it smells great. Hope this helps.'' Item 3028: Nihon No Meito Nyuto Hot Springs Spa Bath Salts - 450g Bottle
P.J., California: ''Japanese Sen-Cha is the best!!... I love green tea, and suspect that it may be one of the Orient's hidden secrets to long-life, but in America all the green tea that we have is so un-authentic and weak.
This Japanese Sen-Cha is stronger and more complex. I don't even need to use sugar or honey because they only mask the amazing flavors of the tea.'' Item 9001: Authentic Maeda-en Japanese Sencha Green Tea - 20 Foil-Wrapped Tea Bags
