Dr. Ohhira's Probiotic Magoroku Skin Care Treatment ProFormula - 1 - Tube

I've been using this for about 6 years and it is an irreplaceable product in my daily routine. I have aging skin and I live in a high elevation, semi arid environment. I'm drying out faster than a prune in the desert. It is the only moisturizer that combats dryness all day long. I grew up in the age of oil-free facial products (and fat free cookies. WTF). Oily stuff was supposed to be the work of the devil and avoided at all costs. Yeah no that's wrong. When you squeeze Ohira's out, it is thick and oily. You only need about a smaller, pea-sized amount for your face. It takes a bit to absorb into your skin and it feels so good. I never have issues with breakouts. My wrinkles remain minimal. My skin never feels tight from dryness. It does mess with mascara, so I try to avoid getting it on my lashes on makeup-y days. I would say one tube lasts about 3 months for face-only use. My one downside...having learned recently about this ingredient, tho it's been used traditionally in Japan for centuries, my conscience is struggling with the equine oil base, not knowing how humanely these animals may or may not be treated. My research has not yet turned up an alternate product that matches the composition of human skin as well as this does. So, the jury is out.

I bought this a while ago, tried and and felt it was too thick for my face, I've struggled with acne since I was 20. This will not cause you to breakout. Early this year I got something called Perioral Dermatitis. It's a skin infection around mouth and corners of nose, caused by several things like steroid creams, fluoride in toothpaste but mine was from overuse of retinA (strips your microbiome) and applying a face mask that has bacteria on it. I kept my face mask in my jacket pocket along with cash and coins. GROSS, I know. Everything irritates it, antibiotics is what my Dermatologist prescribed. I didn't take them, instead I stopped using all face products and only used Ohhiras soap and cream and I finally see it disappearing. My doctor said it will likely resurface in times of stress (it's related to eczema), I need to be gentle on my skin. Rules from Doc, no harsh soap or acids, use zinc and azeleic acid, yogurt mask help. PS It worked really well on a burn, my daughters acne and her dry chapped hands from overuse of sanitizer. I get super dry skin in the winter, keratosis pilaris on the back of my thighs. I use lactic acid lotions and dry brushing to no avail, I really identify with Ethan Hawk in Gattaca. I took DrOhhiras cream and applied it without doing anything else, after four applications my legs are bump free and supple. I hate how good this works, at $30 for 1.5 ounces it's just so hard to afford. I tried the Gallinee lotion with no results.

I have been using it for a week or so, and it has helped with the dark spots that a skin rash left on my legs. I'm anxious to see what the spots look like after a few more weeks of usage.

I've become obsessed with all things probiotic lately and this is no exception. This has an oilier consistency but I find in the winters it's perfect for me because my skin tends to get more dry. Also, despite the oil and having combination skin, I don't find that this causes breakouts at all (probiotics work wonders after all!!). You also get a lot of product for the price, particularly in comparison to pricier face moisturizers out there. This has already lasted me at least 7+ months of semi-regular use. I'm considering using it more regularly and kicking out some of the higher end items I buy at sephora

This is a nice moisturizer, but it has a waxy feel to it. It was okay and did not cause any breakouts, but this is probably better for oily skin than for dry skin.

I have dry and sensitive skin, and I was looking at my face thinking the dryness really make me look older. I started using this cream(they call it lotion but it's a thick cream), then bam! the look of the skin was different in the morning. It's been 3 days since I started using it, and although it's still a bit dry, it's starting to feel nourished and supple. If you have a fussy skin, you've got to try this.

This stuff will fix you right up. If you have some kind of "irritation" going on on whatever part of the body it's great. I use it everywhere and I'm surprised that so little goes a long way. I was a little disappointed at first when I saw the small tube and how much it costs, but I'm still using my first tube and I've spread this stuff on a lot of my body. I put half a pea size (if that) under my arms as deodorant and it works great to prevent stink. I've also used it on my bottom parts and it straightens stuff up over night, if not immediately. Great for delicate female parts that are a little out of wack, but I wouldn't go all the way inside (if you know what I mean), I only do an external sweep. If you want to go that far, that's up to you.

Very small size and really doesn't work any better than almost anything else.
