Review ShiKai Borage dry skin therapy eye cream
A rich, soothing emollient cream specially formulated for the sensitive and delicate skin around the eyes. 0.5 oz/15ml tube
ShiKai is an American brand which I've never heard of before and isn't easy to get. I bought it on iHerb for 14$, lovely price - a lot of their products are available on this website. Some of the things that inspired me to try this brand is that it's organic and focuses on dry skin, and apart from that their pricing is very reasonable. The packaging is simple and effective. I prefer using tubes and pumps, ShiKai lives up to this with all their packaging.
The texture of the product isn't really a cream, more like a lotion. It has a very light fresh scent, which your nose will hardly be aware of. It sinks in fast and leaves my skin moisturized. I started using it in fall and noticed that in winter I needed more product to get the same moisturized result. For me, this moisturizer is more suited to use in spring and summer when my skin needs less moisture. This eye cream works great on sensitive skin, it never irritated mine and that speaks on its own. I only used this eye cream in the evening and was able to use it for 6 months or so, the 15ml goes a long way...
The goods: organic, non-irritating, sinks in fast, hardly no scent, price
The bads: isn't as rich as it claims
Overall I'm intrigued by Shikai and enjoyed using this product. This is a good basic mild eye moisturizer perfectly suited for those with normal to dry skin. Recommended cream, I will repurchase this in the future to use in spring&summer. I'm keen on trying more products from this brand.

Eyecream is one of those products that are up to yourself to decide about. Imo they're a waste of money if they're not in an airtight packaging and contain retinoids/vit C/antioxidants. They really are just a basic facecream repackaged usually, sold for more money.
Bodylotion on a face is something you shouldn't do unless you know all the ingredients. Bodystuff is usually fragranced and can contain irritating stuff your thick bodyskin can take but not your thinner face.
If I may recommend something for your dry skin (assuming your entire face is dry), you could buy a more expensive serum and just top it off with a thin coat of your regular moisturizer. Just to lock the serum in place and let it do it's work. I think that has more effect than using only 1 eyecream.
Another trick is to just use a facial serum that has moisturizing properties and top it off with a coat of vaseline. It won't clog your pores but just don't use too much as it can be a little sticky :)
If you add the transport costs and the 14 dollar up with your current serum, you could get something really nice I bet. If you want a recommendation I'm willing to help.
Ik ben ook aanhanger van oogcrème. De huid onder mijn ogen is erg teer, dus ik neem liever geen risico's :)
Nog nooit van dit merk gehoord, trouwens, fijne ontdekking!
Totally with you on the packaging Phil, as I said above, I hate jars. My entire face is indeed dry but I'm prone to breakouts on a few areas (mouth/cheeks). I already use serums, but haven't come across the perfect one. If you have one that you would recommend for dry skin, please do tell! I'm not keen on putting vaseline over my face because of the stick-factor, but it's a nice tip. The shipping costs on Iherb are very low, about 3$, hence to why I bought it :)
Ja, die van mij is ook erg teer en vrij dun. Nieuwe merken ontdekken is altijd plezant, ik ga graag buiten de 'klassieke' merken om...
I just bought the same thing at wholefoods for $15.99! I’m going to try it out right now!!!
Wow, nice :) hopefully you'll like it just as much as me.
