I love Ecostore products, and their new Skin range is amazing, but this one product didn't agree with my skin. It packs a punch with great nutrients, but was perhaps too rich, and my skin broke out - which hasn't happened in a long time. I did stick with the product however, adjusting how much I applied, hoping it would adjust but it never did. I continued to have small breakouts around the t-zone/chin area.
I have a relatively normal skin type, though it tends to be dryer in winter and at the end of the day with long wear foundation it definitely is a little tighter, and in need of some extra moisture.
The bottle is fantastic, and the dropper is a slimmer size than normal, meaning its very easy to use a small amount and not over do it with application. You definitely don't need a lot of this product to get fantastic coverage. It is a very oily product so less is definitely more. I didn't need more than two drops for my whole face.
I used this at night mostly as an extra moisture boost for my skin, and it felt amazing on - almost feeling like a night cream afterwards would be too much, but I did stick with my usual routine and used a night cream. In morning my skin was soft and moist and felt lovely - apart from the breakouts
Under my makeup routine, this was a little too oily for day time use, and felt my primer and makeup weren't too happy over the top of this product and never got a nice blended foundation finish.
It's definitely a lovely feeling product, and if it agrees with your skin it will be amazing. This one just wasn't right for me.
I got this in the BBBE NZ Brands & All Cruelty Free Box last year. I have just got around to using it for the last month. I have used about four facial oil's now and they are not my most favourite so was a bit apprehensive about using this.
Packaging is a small 20ml glass like bottle with a muted green topped lid. Dropper applicator. Unlike other oils I have used the dropper is thin and precise, easier to dispense. Light botanical fragrance. Easily disperses into the skin and does not leave my skin feeling oily. Skin looks radiant and glowy.
I really like this oil. The only problem I have with it is that I tend to for some reason never reseal the lid and have knocked it over and spilt product. I personally would love this oil in a pump bottle as there would be a lot less spillage. I would definitely consider repurchasing this.
