I try everything new, hoping to find something that will show me some results right away and give me back the glow in my skin that seems to wither away as time passes (and I'm only 36!) --
Anyway, when I read about rice bran, I thought why not - this brand contains a lot of rice bran - it's like the 2nd ingredient in everything after water, and there is nothing else in it I couldn't pronounce. The stuff smells great, and goes on non-greasy, especially the face cream it's like my face is so thirsty for it that it just sucks it all in. The TrueRenu store gives you cute little pahmplets with details on all the ingredients, and insturctions (the packages are written in Japanese so you need to read their instructions) - and I even got a free gift of green tea - yum!

Perfect for a weekend vacation or as larger sample sizes, the natural products will make your skin feel moisturized and pampered. Rice Bran is the secret to these products and the results are immediately apparent in the texture of your skin. After just one to two uses, you start to notice a sense of calm and order descending upon your formerly sensitive skin.

If you have oily or combination skin, you may be amazed at how balanced your skin is and how you no longer experience the shine breakthrough in your makeup due to the initially drying aspects of other cleansers.

1. The Komenuka Bijin Facial Cleansing Foam is very economical and an eighth of a teaspoon is enough for a wonderful face cleansing experience. The ingredients include: Rice Germ Oil, Rice Bran, Coconut Oil, Seaweed, Aloe Algae, Ginkgo Biloba, Matricaria, Yeast, Perilla Ocymoides, Honey, Lithospermum and Fountain Water.

2. Follow the cleanser with the Komenuka Bijin Skin Lotion and you may wonder why you are suddenly catching the scent of SAKE. In fact, this cleansing toner does contain SAKE along with Rice Bran, Seaweed, Aloe, Yeast, Glycyrrhizate, Orange, Lemon, Matricaria, Algae, Luffa Cylindrica and Fountain Water. The toner completes the process of removing impurities and also has the added benefit of contracting the pores so they look smaller. Men may also enjoy this as an aftershave lotion. If the toner is not included, they normally include the NS-K Special Toner with even more healing ingredients.

3. The Moisture Cream goes a long way. The main oils are Rice Germ Oil, Jojoba Oil and Olive Oil. Vitamin E, Rice Bran and Aloe make this a skin-healing treat.

4. Eye Moisture Jell - Also contains apple acid, lemon, seaweed and loquat leaf. Smooths the delicate eye area.

5. Makeup Remover - A fragrance-free cream that removes makeup and mascara. Based on olive oil.

6. Two Cleansing Powder Packets - Deep cleansing grains turn silky and creamy when you add water.

7. The UV Cream is slightly tinted and waterproof. This sunblock also seems to even out skin tone. Could be used as a makeup base if you are looking for a more natural look. The cream is easy to apply and absorbs easily into the skin. You can apply this on its own or after the moisture cream and skin essence.

8. Skin Care Cream - A body cream that is very healing with jojoba oil.

9 & 10. Hair Shampoo & Conditioner - Thickens fine hair instantly. Removes buildup and leaves your hair feeling luxurious.

If you are looking for an easy way to try out the skincare system or you just want to take these products with you wherever you go (they are addictive), then I can highly recommend this and any of the Komenuka products. I love how calm they make me feel. These products cover all bases and whether you live in a cold, dry or humid climate, your skin will feel protected.

Other products to fall in love with:

The Skin Essence contains Mulberry that naturally lightens discoloration from sun damage and aging. The antioxidants help to revitalize the skin. This is applied before the cream.

Moisture Cream Silver - Super hydration with aloe, vitamin E and Rice Bran.

The quality of the products is good. However, the quantity is very limited, most of samples contain only 1-2 applications. Couple of samples contain so little product that before you can tell if it suits your skin, it's gone. You need to adjust your expectation so you won't be surprised or disappointed when the package arrives.

This is absolutely wonderful if you are considering buying Komenuka Bijin products, but don't want to spend the money on a full supply. I had been using Clinique products for almost 6 months, and hadn't really been all that impressed by them. A friend of mine started using some Komenuka Bijin lotions and cleansers. I tried them out when visiting her, I instantly fell in love with them. But looking online to buy some of my own, I realized that there were too many to choose from.

This trial kit is great because it includes so many products that I was hoping to test out, but didn't have the money for. Since it was sold at such a good price, I bought two kits. One to test out all the products, and one to specify which ones I would be buying the full size versions of. This is a list of the products that I got.

Shampoo & Conditioner
Cleansing Foam
Cleansing Powder
Skin Lotion/Toner
Secial Serum Toner
Facial Moisture Cream
Moisture Cream Silver
SPF13 Cream
SPF25 Cream
Eye Moist Jell

To test which ones I like the best, I just tested different combinations of the products (like the Foaming Cleanser with the Skin Toner, and the next day with the Special Serum Toner), and wrote down which ones I preferred. Turns out that I really like the Cleansing Powder over the Foaming Cleanser, and I like the combination of the Skin Toner with it, instead of the Special Serum. I only used small portions of each packet, and started out using them on the back of my hand. This was great, because now I know which products I will be buying, and which ones didn't really suit my taste.

I would recommend this to anyone who is considering Komenuka Bijin products. At this price and with this good of products, you don't really have anything to loose. Anyone who chooses to give this brand a try is in for a lot of fun with this starter kit.

I have been looking for an all natural shampoo, and this is a wonderful one. It made my hair incredibly soft with tons of body--I was incredibly surprised at how well it worked on my hair. The sample is worth the price just to test it out.

I have normal to combination skin. Normally I use the rice collection at Bath and Body Works but they're no longer making it and I thought from the discription, it would be a perfect replacement.

The cleanser was nice, but my face never felt clean after using it. The face lotion made my face almost sticky after applying it and probably lasted a good hour to two hours after, plus it made me shiney and made my make-up not last very long. The eye gel was even worse. My skin couldn't absorb it. It was light, but very thick. I couldn't put my make-up on after using it, guess it's supposed to be just for at night?

The hair items, did nothing for my hair. My hair was very tangled and knotted after using it. Didn't help my hair at all. My hair was still and thin and limp after using it as it was before I did unlike the store brand hair products that cost a lot less.

I'm very glad I ordered the sample pack instead of jumping right in and ordering the stuff. I would have spent way too much money on a product that doesn't help my skin or hair at all. I've used store brnd products that were better than these items (and cost a heck of a lot less!). Buyer beware if you have my skin type. This would probably be better for someone who has very dry skin maybe who could possibly have a better chance at absorbing the lotions.

I ordered 2 sets of samples. Everything came in time, & I was very pleased. The seller even included a ton of free extras too, which I was very happy about :]. The products themselves are 'pretty good'. I recommend the shampoo/conditioner & the foaming face wash [my favorite]. Overall, a very good seller. I'll probably be buying the foaming face wash which was amazing, but everything else was just average. The eye moister jell was also very good too.

I received like 15 samples of many different products. However the one product I really wanted to try, the cleansing powder, was not included. I got the foam cleanser instead. My other complaint is that the samples do not contain enough product. I barely managed to squeeze enough out to wash my face once with it. However after I used the cleansing foam I decided I liked it because it made my face soft and soaked up all of the oil. My face is very oily and this cleanser mattified it quite a bit. After that, I used the special toner which I also liked. Finally, I used the moisturizer, but I'm not too impressed with it because it just made my face oily again. It might be good for people with dry skin but it is not for me at all.
Out of the three products I have tried I would consider buying the cleansing foam and maybe the toner but it wasn't that much better than any other toner I already own. I would have really liked to try the cleansing powder because I intended to buy the full sized product and I guess I just assumed it would come as one of the samples. Finally, I'm not convinced that the products are worth the price because there are other products out there which are cheaper and do the same job.

This pack comes with a wide variety of products. It is a great introduction to the Komenuka line. I really enjoyed how clean my skin felt after using the cleanser. The moisturizer is light and not at all greasy. I would recommend this line to anyone.
