Products used: SunoHada Gentle Smooth Wash, SunoHada Soothing Lotion, SunoHada Quick Itch Relief Moisturizing Mist
My skin was much calmer after using SunoHada’s products for the first time. The texture of the Lotion is light so I don’t mind moisturising my skin more often during the day, which helps to improve my eczema. The mist also relieves dryness and itching quickly.
After seven days, my skin felt much more hydrated and flaky patches were smoothed out. The redness has been significantly reduced and my skin doesn’t feel as itchy as it did before.
I’ve noticed a big improvement in my skin – faster results compared to other products I’ve been using for a few months. These are the best bodycare products I’ve tried for my skin type.
Favourite product from SunoHada: SunoHada Quick Itch Relief Moisturizing Mist. It helps me to ease itchiness so that I can stop scratching my skin and making it worse. In fact, it soothes the itch in just one minute!

When I tried SunoHada’s bodycare products for the first time, I noticed that my skin irritation calmed down pretty quickly. The lotion felt light on my skin and absorbed very fast. While it took a while for the redness to subside, it was still slightly faster than a body lotion I used prior to the trial.
After a week, my skin feels softer and more moisturised. My skin doesn’t feel dry, tight, or itchy, and redness had significantly reduced. I’m amazed by how efficient and effective the products are compared to the other I’ve tried before.
