D. Pawl 'mariposarosa2', Seattle, WA: ''this product is great!... At first, I wondered about rice bran and its effectiveness as a cleanser for skin. It made sense, but I had never used it before. Previously, I had found oatmeal to be a very effective detoxifier for my skin, when I had a bad skin rash. It pulled out the toxins very quickly and my skin felt so healthy!
The ingredients for this great product, put out by Komenuka Bijin Facial Cleansing Powder are: rice bran extract, aloe extract, seaweed extract and coconut oil. That's right....all natural ingredients that you can very easily pronounce (unlike some skin care products whose moisturizers, cleansers and toners consist predominantly of chemicals, engineered in a lab, that are tested quite heartlessly on innocent lab animals). The great thing about this gentle scrub is that it doesn't take much to be effective. In fact, they reccomend that you use only 1/3 of a packet of the product, then mix it with warm water in your hand and apply it directly to the face. You can feel the cleansing powder work almost immediately. For me, my skin felt a lot cleaner, once I had massaged it in. Once I rinsed it off, my skin was so soft. There aren't any fruit acids, here, to burn and add abrasion to the delicate facial skin. Also, my face felt firmer and looked smoother. Great product! Yes, it's a little pricey, but a little goes a long way and it's very effective!'' Item 4008-30: Komenuka Bijin Facial Cleansing Powder from Natural Rice Bran - 30 Packs
Hannah Susie Kwon, Boston, MA: ''softer, silkier and more manageable... I first tried this Tsubaki at a friend's place (who happened to be a heterosexual male), and loved how it made my hair feel. After just one wash with the shampoo and conditioner, My hair actually did feel softer, silkier and more manageable. My flyaways even seem improved. It's pricier than the shampoo/conditioners I've used in the past, but compared to other salon products, it's quite reasonably priced.'' Item 4063: Shiseido Tsubaki Shining Conditioner with Tsubaki Oil EX - 550ml Pump Dispenser
K Kelley, Colorado Springs, CO: ''thanks!... very fast shipping, i ordered the product on [Friday] 9/8 and received the product in the mail [Monday] 9/11 along with some free samples. thanks!'' Item 7009: Japanese Mini-T Eyebrow Razors by KAI - 3 per package
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
Rebecca Johnson, Washington State: ''Buy this with the 10-product sampler... When I tried the shampoo and conditioner I had no idea that my hair would feel completely different. I had my hair up in a bun (I had put it up to workout) and when I let down my hair after it was dry it felt so much thicker and almost like I had more hair.
I was not quite sure why, but then I read about the strengthening effects of this shampoo and conditioner. My hair also felt so much cleaner and silky as if there was no build up and I had washed my hair in mountain spring water.
The shampoo doesn't strip the hair the way other harsh shampoos do and I'm very impressed with the natural ingredients.
I think you will fall in love with the shampoo and conditioner. I can also highly recommend the 10-product sampler. Everything I've tried so far has been beyond impressive. The face washes are super cleansing unlike anything you've ever tried before and the creams make you look 10 years younger within weeks. These are some of the best beauty products I've ever tried.'' Item 4011: Komenuka Bijin Premium Hair Care Set: Moisturizing Hair Shampoo & Hair Treatment / Conditioner
Marie, Mesa, AZ: ''Heavenly Smell... I bought the shampoo/conditioner together. My hair is very coarse but after one wash, my hair came out so soft and bouncy. The conditioner did not make my hair feel heavy. The smell is heavenly. I wish they would make a body wash to go with it.'' Item 4063: Shiseido Tsubaki Shining Conditioner with Tsubaki Oil EX - 550ml Pump Dispenser
