IKISE Skincare: My Honest Review
When we first heard of IKISE about six months ago, I wasn’t even looking for skincare. I already loved my routine — one I’d been taught rigorously by my mum from the age of 12. But with exceedingly sensitive skin, I’ve always been loath to jump into anything new — my skin simply won’t let me.
For me, skincare has to be gentle, effective, and above all simple. I’ve never been swayed by “12-step routines” or “double cleanses.” To me, those are distractions. We don’t need marketing promises that overcomplicate our lives. What we do need is the pleasure of a daily ritual — wax on, wax off, as I like to say. It’s something I’ve done, religiously, for 46 years. Only two brands have ever worked for me. Until now.
Why IKISE Exists
Our skin is our largest organ — and what we put on it matters. Research shows that 60% of what touches our skin can be absorbed into the bloodstream. The average woman uses 12 personal care products a day containing over 160 chemicals, many of which are restricted or banned in other countries. IKISE was created to cut through this toxic load — offering clean, effective, and transparent skincare that doesn’t compromise.
“It’s not about fighting age, but ageing better.”
ISO 16128 certified, with natural origin indexes up to 100%.
Inspired by Japanese skincare layering, designed as a moment of meditation, not complication.
Humic Shale: Earth’s Goodness in a Bottle
The humic shale in IKISE isn’t a passing beauty trend — it’s literally Earth’s goodness in a bottle, created by God and treasured since the beginning of time.
Renowned for its skin-softening and barrier-supporting properties, humic shale acts like a gentle cocoon of strength and resilience. And that’s been my experience — my skin is no longer “stressed.” That’s the big takeaway.
Formulated with Evidence-Based Actives
IKISE isn’t just about ritual — it’s results-driven. Each formula is crafted with barrier-friendly, evidence-based ingredients alongside CPTG® essential oils:
- Niacinamide to refine pores, calm sensitivity, and support elasticity
- PHA (Gluconolactone) for gentle exfoliation and smoother texture
- Hyaluronic Acid for deep hydration and plumping
- CPTG® essential oils like Frankincense, Copaiba, Lime, Litsea, Petitgrain, Bunyan, and Geranium for grounding and skin resilience
Together, these create hydration, texture renewal, and radiance — not just skincare, but sanctuary for your skin.
Why Japan Adores It
In Japanese skincare, where rituals honor subtle performance over loud promises, humic shale has been quietly prized as a natural, effective elixir. It calms, hydrates, and grounds the skin. What makes it so revered is not just the results, but the texture, mineral complexity, and emotional resonance that elevate it in centuries-old care traditions.
My Ritual Review
- Texture & Feel: light, clean, not sticky — it absorbs in, not sits on.
- Skin Impact: smoother, brighter, a genuine “reset” feel each morning.
- Emotional Impact: the essential oils create a subtle, grounding aromatic experience while I care for my skin.
🌿 And despite being a 5-step range, IKISE is delightful to use and only adds about a minute more to my old 3-step routine. The flow is quick, intuitive, and deeply grounding.
It’s not just skincare — it’s sacred space, twice a day.
My Experience at 58
I’ve always been passionate about skincare, and I’ve tried many regimens over the years. But I can honestly say that IKISE is the most luxe routine I’ve ever undertaken — and it’s strengthened my skin’s resilience.
At 58, I expected to see more of the usual signs: hormonal shifts, dryness in cool weather, skin that feels fragile against the elements. Instead, what I’m noticing is the opposite:
- My skin feels stronger — with more integrity and bounce.
- Cool weather doesn’t throw it off — no flakiness or dullness.
- Hormonal transitions haven’t shown in my complexion as they usually would.
IKISE is truly skin health from the inside out.
“The dual serum is a game changer. My texture is smoother, and I love the natural glow.”
The Aromatherapy Brilliance
What makes IKISE magnificent is the aromatherapy benefits built into every step. These oils aren’t just for fragrance — they provide antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties, actively addressing dryness, irritation, acne, and visible signs of aging.
IKISE merges luxury, therapy, and results — creating a routine that feels indulgent while being scientifically grounded.
“My skin feels hydrated all day, even in winter.”
