ShiKai is a skin care company which was founded in the early 1970’s by Dr. Dennis T. Stepp. His mission was to use the natural properties of plants to create a line of skin and hair care products. ShiKai offers skin care products for children, facial skin care products, anti-aging skin care products, hand & body lotions, hand soap, shampoos, conditioners, and shower & bath products. The anti-aging products offered by the company are called ‘ShiKai Anti-Aging Facial Care’ which claims to even the skin tone and to decrease the appearance of fine lines while making the face and neck areas smoother and more supple.

Product Details

The ShiKai Anti-Aging Facial Care system is based on the following ingredients: Vitamin C, Borage and Vitamin E. We will look into each of these ingredients to see how they help when trying to fight the signs of aging.

Vitamin C is a natural anti-oxidant which the body also uses help produce collagen. Collagen is needed in the skin to help it maintain its youthful appearance. Using Vitamin C topically on the skin is said to help to reduce the visible signs. Borage is said to help fight the signs of aging by increasing the moisture in the skin. Scientific studies have shown that Borage can help to prevent water loss to promote softer skin. The last active ingredient, Vitamin E, is an ingredient used to protect the skin from the sun’s harmful rays.

The Good

  • ShiKai Anti-Aging Facial Care products contain Vitamins C & E which have been proven to be beneficial to the skin.
  • ShiKai Anti-Aging Facial Care products are relatively inexpensive and affordable for the average consumer.

The Bad

  • ShiKai Anti-Aging Facial Care does not contain advanced ingredients such as Collagen, Argireline, Hyaluronic Acid, or Matrixyl-3000.
  • ShiKai does not disclose the full list of product ingredients for its anti-aging products.
  • At the time of this review, we were unable to locate clinical trial data or scientific research to substantiate claims made about ShiKai anti-aging products.

The Bottom Line

While it is commendable that ShiKai offers consumers an affordable choice in skin care in comparison to other products on the market, their products do not contain advanced ingredients which will produce noticeable results. Vitamin C & E are known to be beneficial to the skin however, consumers want to see dramatic improvement in the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines and the active ingredients in ShiKai Anti-Aging Facial Care can not accomplish this. ShiKai anti-aging products may be attractive to consumers who like “all natural” products but for those looking for the latest advances in skin care technology, we would recommend looking elsewhere.

** Our Top Skin Care Choice **

Nue Science Bottle

Top Wrinkle Cream for 2012: Nue Science

Editor's Review: 4.8 / 5.0

After looking at literally hundreds of wrinkle reduction and prevention treatments, Nue Science Cell Revival is our top choice. This product offers customers a Risk-Free Trial, and makes sure to both repair and protect the skin with Matrixyl 3000 for collagen and Uniprotect-PT-3 for UV protection. No other formula that we've seen takes such a holistic approach to skin care. Matrixyl 3000 is a clinically proven and patented wrinkle-fighting peptide, while Uniprotect-PT-3 is one of the most advanced sun protectors currently on the market. User testimonials on how a formula works says it all, and the Nue Science website provides ample proof. When you factor in the trial offer, the potent formula, and the testimonials and the clinical studies posted on the official site, it's easy to see why Nue Science is our top anti-aging pick. >> Read more about Nue Science Go



Hydrolyze Bottle

(Optional- For Enhanced Results): Hydrolyze

Editor's Review: 4.6 / 5.0

After looking at so many anti-aging treatments, we've seen that the delicate skin around the eyes can be a real problem area for many people. Dark circles can make you look years older, and for some people even a good night's sleep won't make them go away. That's why we were so excited to find Hydrolyze, which has been formulated by industry experts specifically as an under-eye treatment. The makers of Hydrolyze are so confident in their product that they offer potential users a Risk Free Trial so they can see the results for themselves. Hydrolyze contains the break-through ingredient Haloxyl, which has been shown to reduce under-eye discoloration between 40%-60% in a clinical case study. By offering consumers a way to erase the dark circles and wrinkles that often occur under the eyes, Hydrolyze is revolutionizing the skincare industry. >> Read more about Hydrolyze Go
