SKIN by ecostore Purifying Cleanser Review

I received this in the BBBE cruelty free box this year. I've used Ecostore products before, but this was my first time trying something from the skincare range.

It looks almost like liquid copper and has a very smooth, silky texture. It also has a light lather, which feels very gentle on this skin and it has been gentle on my eyes.

I generally have oily and acne prone skin and this cleanser has been perfect for it. My skin has felt moisturised and it has help keep my skin clear. I loved it so much that I repurchased from Countdown and it only costs $14.99! Definitely recommend it to anyone with skin issues.

I picked this up in a Beauty Vault a while ago, thanks BR. I like trying out new cleansers and enjoyed the Ecostore trial so was excited to start using this.

It comes in a large bottle with a handy pump. It reminds me of runny honey. It has quite a strong fragrance so I was a bit worried it may cause irritation, thankfully it doesn't.

I don't wear really heavy makeup but it does a great job at removing my foundation and mascara. I like to double cleanse with this to make sure my face is clean. You don't need a lot with this, a little bit definitely goes a long way.  It lathers up a little bit and leaves my face feeling clean and soft.

I don't get any tight face after use and it doesn't cause any dryness at all. Overall this is quite a nice cleanser which I am enjoying using.

I tend to not introduce new cleansers into my routine for fear of a dramatic acne breakout. This, however, didn't do that. Lucky I was sent this and happen to be the correct skin for it, I don't know what it would be like for someone with dry skin. Seems pretty gentle though. My usual is Neutrogena Oil Free Wash which is definitely more potent than this. Has little to no scent. Packaging is plan and simple.

Received in a BBBE. 140ml white bottle with a light orange colored pump. Slight marine type scent. 1 pump is enough, I expect this to last me most of the year. Doesn't dry out my skin, soft and smooth. A lovely option as a cleanser for oily skin. Would consider repurchasing but I'm not sure it's still available on supermarket shelves.

I received this in a BBBE and wouldn't have bought this on my own just because it says for combination to oily skin. My skin has been quite dry lately. Even though this isn't made for my skin type, I have liked trying this and will keep using it.

I don't find it very nourishing or hydrating for my skin, but when it comes to cleansers I don't really look for that. I don't mind as long as they don't dry out my skin, and this didn't! This is a nice, lightweight cleanser that leaves my skin feeling clean and soft. I've been using it after removing my makeup at the end of the day and have been liking it for that. It hasn't irritated my skin or caused any extra dryness or dry patches. It's a thin consistency and applies easily and washes off quickly.

I really like the pump bottle, and have been finding myself using this over other cleansers, because the pump makes it so easy and efficient to use. I will continue to use it and think it is a really nice, gentle cleanser!

I got this in the BBBE natural and cruelty free brands for over 35's. Upon first seeing the bottle, it doesn't exactly shout 'I'm a cleaner' from the rooftops, It looks more like a body lotion type bottle. I have heard of ecostore before so was hopeful that I would fall in love with this. I love that it has a pump action applicator. It saves from using far too much product. The bottle is actually quite big which is a definite value for money selling point. The product itself is a gold/bronze colour which instantly makes me think of glitz and glamour and expensive type things. My expectations have crept up a tad because of the colour alone. The liquid is quite silky feeling and doesn't melt or spread like cleansers often do once I put it in my hand.

I use this in the shower to make it easier to wash off rather than create more washing by using a flannel. It goes on my skin smoothly but doesn't really lather up like I would expect a cleanser to do. It does take up most of my eye make up which is a bonus but leaves panda eyes from my waterproof mascara which I think says more good about the mascara than anything about the cleanser. Usually after I have used a cleanser my skin feels fresher and clean but this fails to offer that feeling unfortunately. I usually have to go in after with another cleanser to remove more make up and dirt/oil left behind on my skin.

I do have to say that although it doesn't necessarily cleanse my skin effectively, my skin always feels softer after use. This in turn sets it up to feel even softer once toned and moisturised. In summary I think the idea behind it is great but the execution failed for me. I prefer other cleansers over this one but I love the fact that it is cruelty free so that's winning.
