This natural/organic/bio cosmetics store is very small, but inside is a huge variety of lotions,…read moreoils, soaps, sprays everything organic, of course. Always a good place for choosing presents for female friends and yourself. The hit of the month - now they have not only BLACK sheep soap, but also WHITE!

I've been buying this hand cream for almost 8-9 years, especially the cherry blossom one. It used…read moreto be one of my favorites. Back then, the packaging was simple plastic nothing special , but the formula? Amazing. One pump was enough, super moisturizing, and it actually lasted. Now they've upgraded to glass packaging, which looks nicer and probably feels more "premium." But the formula has completely changed... and not in a good way. It's much more liquid, less rich, and even after 3-4 pumps, my hands still feel dry. On top of that, the price has gone up. Honestly, I would take the old plastic packaging back any day if it meant getting the original quality again.

Made in Amsterdam, you will find delicious smelling cosmetics inspired by Japan Korea, China and…read morethe middle East, like body scrubs, shave cream, colognes and make up. We were greeted with some hot tea as soon as we entered the store. I love the essential oils that all products contain. Their fragrances are great, especially if you like oriental scents. Great gifts for him and her, free gift wrap is offered as well. Samplers are available for every single item, so you get to sniff and rub before you buy. One star deduction for the fact that products contain chemicals. I always prefer natural and cruelty free.

Great experience at Shijin today! I don't know why it is so hard in Berlin to find an esthetician…read morewho does extractions and doesn't just slap on a mask and call it a day. Rosa was amazing, and I can confidently say that I look and feel much better already. My skin has really taken a beating in the Berlin winter, (dry and oily?!?!?) I knew I needed some help, but I wanted someone who really understood my skin. Making an appointment was easy, (just a quick phone call). The spa is well appointed with lots of beautiful amenities, and every area was spotless. The questions Rosa asked about my skincare regime were relevant, and her advice of what products that she suggested came with a caveat...try them at home first i.e.; she didn't ask me to buy anything unless I really liked the product! What an honest and wonderful way to do business! Shijin is a breath of fresh air, and not to be missed for anyone wanting to look and feel better about their skin.

They are nice and helpful but it's not really enough. The weaving I made looked really bad after…read morejust a week. And after three weeks I had to remove it. I brought my own hair and can't say anything about the hair they are selling because of this.

This Mitte flagship store is bit more expensive than the Kiehl's store in Amsterdam, but the staff…read moreis knowledgeable and the location is (for me) unbeatable. I like that the staff doesn't push you, and always hand out plenty of free samples! It makes me one happy (returning) customer. I am new-ish to Kiehl's, but after having tried a handful of their products for the the last few months I am now at the stage where I cannot live without it. I have even gotten used to the smell, which I thought was too much at first sniff... but although it's pretty strong at first, it gets real subtle real quick. I recommend anyone on the lookout for new amazing dermatologic skincare to check out this Mitte shop, you'll feel like you've entered an old apothecary where your skin is left to the safest hands.
