SKIN by ecostore Hydrating Moisturiser Review

The packaging is great, such a lovely green tone. Indicated for Normal to Dry skin.

Packaging indicates recyclable, product is cruelty friendly and 6 month shelf life after opening = ticks from me on these. The 50ml seems on the small side.

Bottle self dispenses with a push down nozzle, this is appreciated and dispenses just the right amount for me. Top also unscrews so all the contents can be utilized.

I am afraid to say this one is a flop for me.

*One thing that really put me off is the fragrance, just unpleasant. Maybe the focus on Marine Bioactive is too much?

**Second off putting thing for me is the colour, light beige. Seems like it is starting to go off (even though not). Colour just off putting to me.

***Third is no SPF added. I prefer SPF added to day creams.

Ingredients include Omega-rich Blackcurrant, Kiwi fruit Seed & Jojoba Oils. Sounds enticing. Claims to improve skin elasticity for softer more hydrated complexion. It did leave my skin feeling hydrated, not yelling it from the roof tops though.

As a day moisturizer it’s a great light weight option. Absorbed easily and quickly (after cleansing). Foundation on top was easy. I personally wouldn’t choose it for a night look or if heavy full on makeup is wanted but for a daytime option during spring or summer it’s ideal.

There isn’t much more to add. Packaging is great especially being able to lock the dispenser, comes with a lid to cover dispenser making product easy to take out of home.

Ecostore are a brand that I had heard of in relation to eco-conscious household cleaning products, but I was not aware that they made skincare products too.

This moisturiser comes in a green and white cardboard box, with the image of orange sunlight filtered through green water on one side. The cream comes in a solid plastic, white pump bottle with a removeable green lid. The bottle is 50ml. It feels really nice to hold, and the green and white packaging looks classy. The pump is very easy to use too. The cream itself is off-white in colour and it has a slightly perfumed scent. It contains blackcurrant, jojoba, and kiwi fruit seed oil, as well as avocado oil.

This hydrating moisturiser is designed specifically for “normal to dry” skin. The moisturiser feels rich, and it absorbs well into my dry skin. My skin is sensitive too, and it has not caused my skin any irritation. My skin feels nicely hydrated throughout the day. I am enjoying using this cream. I will continue to use this cream after the trial is over, and I may even repurchase it.

I have used this moisturizer for a week now along with the cleanser and night cream. I was very eager to try this range, summer is nearly upon us and my skin soon will be screaming for added moisture. Initially, I love the clean and simplistic design. The bottle dispensed the perfect amount of product - a relief as usually I get too much or too little. The product went on smooth and didn't upset my skin at all :) Unfortunately, I was not a fan of the smell at all. It was almost a "sterile" smell instead of the normal luxury/pampering. I also felt that my skin had a "film" over it following application. Maybe this would be something i could get used to? This moistuirser is definitely hydrating so yes, it lives up to the claim..just not my cup of tea I'm afraid

This omega rich moisturiser is just enough for my dry skin. It absorbs easily and leaves my skin feeling ready for the day. Its conviently packaged in a pump so you can get out exactly the right amount and no waste.

The main active ingredients are New Zealand Seaweed, Grapeseed and Harekeke Extracts and Kiwifruit Seed and Jojoba Oil. It promotes skin elasticity. It also leaves skin feeling soft and suitably hydrated.

I love that I can purchase from my local supermarket and that it doesn't cost the earth for a really lovely product. The smell is botanical, kind of plantlike crossed with ocean. Once its absorbed into the skin the products fragrance is unnoticeable so it doesn't interfere with other beauty products or perfume you may be wearing.

I think this product really delivers - I feel confident that my skin is properly hydrated, nourished and protected.

I really am looking forward to seeing and trying anything new coming this way from Ecostore. I believe in using amazing products, cruelty free, buying New Zealand Made and New Zealand Ingredients.

Well done Ecostore on another beautiful product!

Hydrating Moisturiser for Normal to dry skin 50ml pump bottle First up the packaging: this comes in a light olive green and white box. The colour scheme is so unique that it would definitely stand out on the shelves. The bottle itself is white and has light olive green writing and also on the lid. The product comes in 50ml bottle that is tall and skinny so perfect size for my handbag or travelling. Once I took the lid off I attempted to put back in and it wouldn't fit - not sure what happened there but the lid not fitting isn't going to cause any major issues for future use of the product. One squirt was enough for full face coverage. The consistency was quite thin making it easy to use. I found this made my skin feel quite greasy to begin with however seemed to clear up within half an hour. It kept my skin hydrated for the full day. I preferred the fragrance of this to the eco store cleanser as didn't seem as strong I will keep using this as I prefer it to my previous moisturiser for the fact it lasts the whole day and does make my skin look and feel fresh. I just don't like the initial greasy feel.

First impressions, I like the size of the bottle, the easy to use pump and believe it or not, I like the simple packaging and presentation!!

I'm not keen on the smell, and it seemed to stick around for a while. It also made my face feel oily/greasy. The pump gave out a good amount - enough for coverage of my face and neck. I dont really have a lot to say about this as I only used it 3 times, due to how my skin felt. I didnt feel like it was actually sinking in,

I really looked forward to applying this product in the morning! I love that it comes in an easy to hold pump applicator bottle which makes it quick and easy to apply in the mornings. The hydration was just right and made a great base under my foundation. The fragrance was light and refreshing and added to that morning 'wake up' clean feeling to get on with your day. I enjoyed the clean white packaging and that the product contains extract of native plants. I would recommend this product to those with sensitive skin as I had no irritation or redness upon use and my skin felt comfortable and soothed all day.

Having sensitive skin it can be hard to find products to use.. especially for use twice a day.

I looked forward to using this morning and night. I found it light to use and that it didn’t clog my pores like some products. Being a more natural based product is also a win.

Another natural based moisturiser I’ve used sat on top of my skin, wasn’t absorbed and could basically be scraped off my skin at the end of the day. This was the total opposite. Light and hydrating while being easily absorbed. Definitely left my skin feeling hydrated.

It’s again an attractive pump bottle. I do quite like the look of this range. Sophisticated and green. The pump bottle is handy too. No tipping and squeezing so very quick and hygienic.

I think I will use this the fastest out of all 3 products. I use 1-2 pumps twice a day. It is very quickly absorbed so work fast. I do tend to use more when I use natural products probably because there isn’t so many fillers or smoothers in there.. pretty much looking at the ingredients list it all looks recognisable and real. Lots of antioxidants so not just hydrating ingredients but ingredients for preventative measures also.. this goes for all 3 products too.

I do wear a sunscreen also so I still have to use this separately. Would love something like this with a sunscreen added. Fingers x one day. For now I will happily apply separately.

I quite liked the Ecostore hydrating skin moisturiser. It felt nice to use and was quite light on the skin. It did have a strong smell that I didn’t mind. I do prefer lighter fragrant products. The smell seemed to go soon after I applied it so it didn’t bother me too much. I found you needed 2 pumps to get a good coverage. I liked the simplicity of the packaging and liked the cap which I found really helpful when travelling with the item. .

I’ve been using Skin Hydrating Moisturiser about a week now. I have noticed that my skin feels softer and moisturised. By the end of the day I don’t have that dry feels on my skin like other skin care that I’ve been using before.

I love the fragrance, how it has the calming effect after applying it on my skin. I like the nice clean packaging design and how easy it is to pump the moisturiser out.

I will definitely use Skin Hydrating Moisturiser again in the future!
