Shizuka New York Skincare System
From Mt. Fuji to Manhattan…
Driven by her belief that natural ingredients can impart powerful anti-aging and anti-acne results while being less likely to irritate the skin than chemically-based products, Shizuka Bernstein created the Shizuka New York Skincare System in collaboration with her husband, prominent dermatologist, Dr. Robert M. Bernstein. The Shizuka New York Skincare System is holistically formulated in Japan and protects the natural potency of the herbs and extracts without the use of preservatives or undue reliance upon chemicals. Shizuka New York Skincare products are all-natural, hypoallergenic and pH-balanced, and free of artificial fragrance, lanolin, animal byproducts, and harsh chemical irritants.
After years of research and testing, Shizuka has artfully chosen innovative and effective ingredients rich in natural antioxidants and vitamins to gently revitalize, refresh, nurture and protect the skin. Each of her products begins with the source of all life water. Though other filtered spring waters were initially tested, Shizuka found that none could compare in purity and efficacy with water taken directly from Mt. Fuji and she feels the benefits conferred to be palpable. Rich in minerals developed within the 200 million year old layers of sedimentary rock in a remote and unspoiled region of Japan, the waters of Mt. Fuji are prized for their health benefits and are believed to play a vital role for radiant, ageless skin.
The Shizuka New York Skincare System includes components designed to detoxify the skin and guard against premature aging, to reduce hyper-pigmentation, brown and age spots from sun damaged skin, to reduce fine lines for younger, smoother looking skin, to control acne-prone and oily skin and to prevent breakouts and to hydrate dry and sensitive skin.
