I got this in a pack with some of their other products, but in hindsight the light version of this would have been a better choice for my combination skin. Probably great for dry skin, but it left me looking oily by the end of the day. Can't say I saw a difference in skin elasticity, but this isn't a skin concern for me. I preferred the night cream for improving skin texture.

Reviews
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.
My daughter gave me this and I quite like it. You can use morning or evening. Jammed full of lovely ingredients such as harakeke, grapeseed oil and seaweed, it leaves my summer skin feeling soft and moisturised. A tan colour, the lotion like moisturiser comes in a pump bottle. I find that two pumps are enough to cover my face and neck. The smell is a bit odd...it reminds me of old school calamine lotion. A kind of medicinal smell, but i think that is the harakeke as Living Nature products also have this as an ingredient, and a similar smell. My skin is quite sensitive but doesn't react to this at all. Not enough for my skin for winter, but sweet for summer.
I find that my skin really appreciates natural products, that’s why I tend to gravitate to them. This one in particular is such a nice moisturiser, it’s light yet hydrates very well. I like the fact that it does more than just hydrate, it also works to repair skin, so it’s much more effective than your regular moisturiser. I also am not too concerned with the smell, other people may not like it, but it’s so good of a product that I am able to withstand the smell.
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.
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.
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.
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 :)
Tips: Use on dry skin after the cleanser. Easy to use spreads well.
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.
Tips: A little goes a long way
I found this to be quite light for my dry skin and found the night cream more beneficial. If you have normal skin this should be fine. The smell isn't unpleasant but it's not sweet scented either. I like that this has natural ingredients and is better on our environment. It is more moisturizing than the light moisturizer in their range.
Tips: A nice basic moisturizer for normal skin. Apply to damp skin.
