SKIN by ecostore Hydrating Moisturiser Review

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.

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!

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

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.

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.

This is quite an amazing product. It has a pleasant smell and it's not to thin and not to thick, and it is easy to apply. The packaging is informative and the applicator is easy to use. This made my skin feel so lovely and soft after. The only thing I think this product is missing is an spf component, which would make me think twice about buying it again.

Didn't even know Ecostore had a skincare range! Ive purchased their cleaning products & love them, well the same now for the skincare. Its very gentle on the skin, the cleanser is light, foams up well & is easy to remove. Skin feels great after, clean but not stripped. The Hydrating Moisturizing day cream is lightly fraganced, at first i wasnt sure if i liked the smell it but now i dont notice it. Its thin to apply & non-greasy, great under my all day makeup. Ive been really happy to review this regimen, ive had not breakouts or reactions, which isnt surprising with ecostore being a brand thats all about natural & no nasties. I looked up on ecostores website to find out more about these products & discovered there are lots more skincare goodness available and all at a great affordability around the $20 mark. The packaging is simple but classy & it was great to travel with, lids stayed on no problem. Well done Ecostore, i love your products :)

I have been using the ecostore Hydrating Moisturiser as part of the ecostore skin care regime. It comes in a handy dispensing bottle in cool pastel colours. The moisturiser dispenses easily and is smooth to apply over face, neck and décolletage. It is quick absorbing and doesn’t leave any greasy or sticky residue. It has a pleasant mild fragrance and is non-irritating and does indeed leave your skin feeling soft and hydrated.

Once I figured out the right amount of product to apply to my dry-ish skin I came to really like this moisturiser.

The packaging is clean and simple - I like it. The scent is strong-ish, but it wears off and I actually don't mind it. It smells natural.

Initially I used one pump but it didn't quite do the trick - one and a half pumps though leaves my skin feeling nice and plump and ready for makeup.

My skin hasn't gotten oily using this, nor has it broken out. For the price I think it's a good moisturiser and I'd recommend it to anyone with normal/dry-ish skin who is looking for a natural alternative.

This is simply packaged, like the rest of the range. The packaging doesn't quite do it for me, but it wouldn't stop me from repurchasing.

The 50ml pump bottle is great. I vote for more skincare in pumps! 2 pumps was enough for my face and neck. 3 to include the decolletage.

It's a similar beige colour to the cleanser - I'm used to bright white creams, but I took this as a part of going 'natural'. Also like the cleanser - its got a really strange smell. Bordering on unpleasant. But the smell does wear off quickly after it's absorbed, so you get over it.

It rubs in well, and it does hydrate my skin and make it smooth - it just isn't an intensive moisture kick. I need to layer it over a serum to ensure my cheeks are adequately hydrated.

This is one of those products where it does what it says - its a moisturiser, but I don't think its a game changer for my skin. If you need more than a light moisturiser, this probably isn't for you.
