Great daily lotion
This is my daily body lotion. No unnecessary scents and leaves my skin feeling moisturized. Medium consistency that absorbs relatively quickly. Worth the price.

Gentle for very effective skin healing and moisturizing
I've used this very effective lotion for a decade and it never disappoints. The mild scent and simple formula that includes borage seed oil is remarkably soothing and healing to my skin. It has repaired stressed-out skin surfaces and is non-greasy, easy to apply and never feels thick or gloppy. I use it on face and body and it is very gentle. I've never needed any other expensive, salon skin product. This does it all and is particularly good for my face. The price ordered through an Amazon vendor was more reasonable than in any store I've seen it in.Additional note 09/09/18: I've ordered this product several times from the same seller and Amazon fulfills the orders. Up until the delivery today, the product was always properly packaged, with heavy, sticky tape over the pump and secured down the bottle. Today's product arrived open because it had been put in a heavy polymer-type bag without any tape securing the pump. Product had leaked out over the bottle and it was quite messy to clean up. I had to discard some of the product in the bottle when cleaning up the spilled product. Amazon issued a full refund and the rep said she would advise Amazon's shipping department about this. I advised the seller in a contact email that it should also contact Amazon about being more careful in properly packaging products before shipping. I do want to continue ordering from this seller and Amazon and will try again.

Have dry skin? This is your solution
This is our family, favorite hand and body lotion. We live in a very dry climate, and most lotions either feel greasy or make our skin feel even more dry after using it. This is our favorite because it truly moisturizes your skin, Absorbs easily and makes our skin feel hydrated and comfortable. We highly recommend this product!

really good for chemically sensitive dry skin
I am sensitive to fragrances and chemicals in a lot of cosmetics, and a very dry skin. This is the only lotion that I can use, and it is extremely good. The cosmetic qualities are exceptional, the slip, the gentle fragrance, the softening response with the skin which leads to healing. my only complaint is that unlike other products from this company, I cannot buy it in bulk and save myself having to waste more plastic in the environment. Please allow us to buy it in bulk.

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.

It changed my life
This product has improved the quality of my life immensely. I've been battling eczema and dry skin since I was a baby. In the 27 years of my life, I've tried every cream, ointment, and product under the sun to manage my eczema. All had strengths and flaws, but ultimately failed to do the job. Some creams would leave my skin dry while others would cause my skin to become hot and sticky. Nothing worked and I was at my wits end.Then I moved to Boston and had to find a new dermatologist. At his recommendation, I reluctantly tried Shikai Borage. Overnight, my life changed. Every time I use this product, my skin stops itching and the moisture of my skin is restored. It actually hydrates the skin! At the same time, it doesn't leave my skin feeling mushy and hot. I now buy these things in bulk and place them around my house, so I always have some nearby to sooth my dry skin.For the last few years that I have used this product, my eczema has cleared up considerably. It has provided lasting healing. I am so grateful that this product exists and am lucky to have had it recommended to me. If I could give it ten stars out of five, I would!
