SKIN by ecostore Hydrating Moisturiser Review

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.

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 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.

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.
