ShiKai Borage Therapy: An Excellent Unscented Lotion With a Silky Feel
I have used this unscented lotion for years. I formerly used Eucerin as well as trying other popular brands.During the winter months, my fingertips used to get very dry and often start to crack. Since beginning this lotion, the cracking is very rare for me now.It does not contain any scents. Heavily scented lotions annoy me. Even if you like scented lotions, this one is so rich and effective that I doubt you would miss the scent from other lotions.It has a silky feel that is not greasy. I apply it after washing and drying my hands, then go back to using my computer. My mouse and keyboard do not get shiny or slick from this product.I use it in place of lip balm because it seems to soak in quickly, is not shiny, and it works!Yes, this one is slightly more expensive than some of the more popular brands, though a single bottle lasts three months during the winter for me. I use less in the summer months. The extra cost is only pennies per day because I use a bit less of this than I did other brands. Buying the two-pack saves a bit too.The bottles I buy are a convenient sixteen-ounce size, though I believe they sell smaller ones. All appear to have the same sturdy pump. The pumps can be turned into the off position. The bottles fit nicely in a travel bag without any leakage. They are sturdy and recyclable.This is a product I highly recommend for anyone needing skin lotion.

“The BEST body moisturizer on the market!”
“This is the best moisturizer for the body I have ever used. It really hydrates your skin and isn’t greasy. It actually goes into the skin layers. Have used it for about 7 years. I recommend this product!”Susan Deren - Animal Communicator

Great
Great product, good value for the 2 pack, just wish it came in a larger jug. I use it as a massage therapist for all my clients, and it’s hypoallergenic and unscented. No one has ever complained about it. It absorbs well and doesn’t leave a greasy film.

Great lotion for resolving dry skin issues, but there are issues to consider
Update 9/20/19: It appears the issue with the valve has been fixed since I wrote the review (for orders since), so am changing my rating to a 4.***********I really wanted to give this product a 5 star rating, and would have a couple months ago.I've been using it for several years, and it is almost magical. It really does work, and it works much better than prescription skin lotions that I've tried.I have a spot on my leg that used to always itch and be dry, and this is the only lotion that would work--much better than Eucerin, a lotion that my doctor prescribed for me. With regular applications of Borage Therapy, the problem of my dry spot has cleared up entirely. I'll also treat my feet with it regularly, and they look baby-soft. It's really a great overall lotion in many respects. I've even used it in unconventional ways by adding about a tablespoon to my shampoo, and it has cleared up dry scalp problems that I often faced in winter's past without causing any side issues.So, if reading this, it's only fair that you ask why I gave it a 1. There are three main reasons:1.) The consistency seems to vary, and is never quite right. Often, it seems to congeal somewhat in the valve, and small clumps come out. For a while, the consistency was thinned; and then it came out like a squirt gun, which was worse. Given the benefits of the lotion, however, I'm willing to overlook it.2.) There is a slight odor, particularly while it's still moist. The odor never really bothered me that much, but friends to whom I've recommended the product did find it annoying and decided not to use it as a result. When it's dry, I don't notice the smell; and, again, am willing to overlook that mild inconvenience.3.) And this is the biggie: With the latest bottle that I ordered, the cap/push-valve/pump/dispenser was pushed down. In the past, I could just turn it, and it popped up. However, with the most recent one, the dispenser was stuck, and there was nothing that I could do about it. I tried twisting and turning and pushing down, etc., to no avail. I thought maybe there were some instructions for opening this new dispenser-type, for whatever changes were involved, but saw none. When I finally pulled up to see if that would work, the top part just snapped -- not broken, mind you, but simply disconnected. And it would reconnect just fine. But there was no way to get the dispenser to release the lotion through normal pump action, and allow it to function normally. Fortunately, I had the previous bottle still, so I just unscrewed the cap and put the old dispenser on it. And now it works fine with that top. But if I was a first-time buyer, I'd be a little upset, and might have to unscrew the top and squeeze it out otherwise. I find it confusing how this change could pass quality control.In any case, I will probably still continue to purchase this product again--at least, one more time--because it's the only lotion that I've found that works for me.I've also recommended it to a relative whose hands were often chafed from his work, and he loves it as well (as do some of his co-workers).However, I can't express how disappointed I am with the change in the dispenser, which I find extremely annoying. If my next purchase is satisfactory with the pump, I may change my rating.However, if this problem with the dispenser persists with future purchases, I may have to start looking at other products available.

The best cream for moisturizing everything that needs it!!
This is wonderful cream. It moisturizes so well, sinks in, no redness or stinging. I bought it for my hands but have used it on my very sensitive face!! Unbelievable. I do not do that every day but at bed time in the winter it really makes a difference. I use it every where I need a good cream, on my legs in the winter when I am extra dry. Try it, you will love it.

Amazing
This is the best lotion EVER. I have bought for every family member and friend bc I have been so happy with the results. If you have dry irritated skin this will literally change your life. I’ve struggled with dry skin since my late 30s and no matter what I used, nothing helped completely. Until I found this while shopping at Whole Foods. Highly recommended. The hand cream is amazing too - completely heals my hands overnight.
