Love DHC. I live in Japan, and as a Japanese brand, it's available both in department and drug stores here. Of course, much less expensive to buy than in the States. I especially like the olive oil cleanser, the lip creme, and the CoQ10 line. I have rosacea, and these products keep my skin calm. In the States, I think the best value is to order from them direct on-line because they have a loyalty program and lots of free samples with orders. In general, I've found Japanese skin and hair products to be very high quality with far less tendency to cause me unwanted reactions. I find it impossible to use eye make-up brands from the US, but have no problem with any Japanese brand I've tried--even very inexpensive products.

thanks for the reaffirmation, I am suppose to get this then, you settled it.

I like Shiseido products here as well--also available at department and drugstores--but the Shiseido web-site in the US doesn't show the same product lines. They could be the same with different packaging or different names, but I don't know for sure. The DHC is the same from their web-site as I can buy here. The only trick is that what is called a "lotion" is a toner consistency, very liquid. What we think of as a lotion is called "milk" in their products.

I have been using this line for years, and I changed a few times, went right back. Their products are reasonably priced (you get loyalty points, birthday discounts, too.) I currently am using the Olive Leaf Set, which is by far my favorite. I'm over sixty and have only an "eleven" wrinkle on my face. I also like their corn-olive scrub for exfoliating legs when you use self-tanner or in summer when we go with bare legs.

I've tried a number of their varieties but the Olive Leaf seems to works best on my skin, which is normal-dry and very sensitive. I use the Cleansing Oil before the soap, removes makeup well.
