SKIN by ecostore Hydrating Moisturiser Review

I have sensitive skin + eczema and this moisturiser both dried out my face and left it irritated and red. After having a look at the ingredients I'm guessing it could be from the fragrances (even though they're "natural") and/or the random oils. The smell of this moisturiser is quite strong and the consistency is quite thin, so I was a bit skeptical when I tried it out. Unfortunately it's not for me and for anyone with sensitive skin I would recommend a simple fragrance free moisturiser instead.

This moisturiser was refreshing, but I did find the fragrance overpowering. I’m used to no fragrance so this might be why I thought this. I found after applying this I would feel like my skin was wanting more and almost right feeling. I think I prefer a thicker, cream moisturiser. The pottle is easy to use and would ensure you get every last bit out. After several days use I am looking forward to going back to my original moisturiser as my skin is craving it.

I really like the packaging, especially the box design, and a bonus that the moisturiser is in a 50 ml pump, making it easy for quick use in the morning. Ingredients and description on box is really good. However that is where my good review stops. I don't usually react to skin care. The first morning after using, I woke up with very small bumps on my forehead. My skin felt extremely tight immediately after, the kind of tight where you've had the moisture sucked out of your pores, not tight as in firming. I didn't like the smell of this at all, it lingered all day, even though I had other products on. My skin felt dry-tight all day. I also found it made my BB Cream apply less easily, almost like the moisturise was gripping to my skin. After using again that night, I developed more bumps around my cheeks and chin, so stopped using immediately and gave it a 48 hr break. When I tried it again, I added my normal serum under, and this alleviated the extreme tight feeling, however it was still present, and my forehead came up with a few little bumps still. There are some great natural ingredients, and I couldn't see anything in the ingredient list that would have been a normal chemical irritant.

nb: I tried this in conjunction with 2 other products in the range, and on it's own, just to be sure it wasn't the other products that were irritating me.

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.

I used a few samples of this moisturiser, but in the end, it wasn't my favourite for my face. I ended up using the final few drops on my legs instead, because I can't stand the 'natural' smell of this - personal preference though.

It does the job, but I wouldn't say it left me with super soft results.

I wouldn't repurchase because there are other facial moisturisers I prefer.

I really liked that it comes in a pump bottle. I found this moisturiser light and quick absorbing. I like that it doesn't leave a film on the skin that can affect makeup application, however I felt I needed more hydration. While it left my skin feeling smooth I felt that it absorbed so quickly I needed more for a good application of foundation. I would definitely try it again over summer or in the weekends when I'm not wearing as much makeup.

Great product by ecostore. The packaging makes it look natural. The moisturiser comes out in a nice thin, smooth texture. The smell is great, a nice earthy smell. Once applied on your face, it made my face real tight and really went into my pores. Ensure you dont use too much, would i probably did, as it spreads all over your face quite easily.

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,

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.

The packaging for this moisturiser was nice and simple, the pump is easy to use and I like that it has a safety cap for travel so it doesn't leak. The smell was overpowering, but once I got over that the moisturiser was lovely, really hydrating, although I did have to reapply through the day as I did get some dry patches, I did like the consistency of it. I do have very sensitive skin and it can be hard to balance between dry and oily. I did like this moisturiser, and I will keep using this bottle. Not sure I would go out of my way to buy it again though.
