SKIN by ecostore Hydrating Moisturiser Review

I love the look of this product (along with the whole range). The pump make it great for travel and mess free. The fragrance is earthy but pleasant and the cream goes on nicely without any greasiness. It hydrated my skin well without leaving any residue so I was able to apply makeup within minutes. Used with the other products in the range this is an eco friendly and "face friendly" combination.

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.

Contemporary packaging signalling this is an eco friendly product, each item easily definable by size and description.

This item comes in a 50ml pump bottle and requires a couple of pumps to produce a sufficient coverage. Unfortunately the scent was a little off putting for me.

The Hydrating Moisuturiser felt light and yet moisturising enough for day wear although I don't feel it has the active ingredients my aging skin requires now.

Would recommmend to friends in a younger age bracket, a great product at an affordable price point to nourish younger skin.

I really liked that it comes in a pump bottle. I found this moisturiser light and quick absorbing. I like that it doesn't leave a film on the skin that can affect makeup application, however I felt I needed more hydration. While it left my skin feeling smooth I felt that it absorbed so quickly I needed more for a good application of foundation. I would definitely try it again over summer or in the weekends when I'm not wearing as much makeup.

I found the ecostore Skin: Hydrating Moisturiser surprisingly likeable! I apply it to my skin fresh from the shower after cleansing and it both absorbs nicely and sits quite happily under my foundation and keeps me moisturised without drying out or going greasy throughout the day. This product certainly suits my skin type, I'm appreciative of the 'eco' benefits, natural ingredients and the price point ($19.95) is about right. Also the perfect size for carting around in your bag!

Great product by ecostore. The packaging makes it look natural. The moisturiser comes out in a nice thin, smooth texture. The smell is great, a nice earthy smell. Once applied on your face, it made my face real tight and really went into my pores. Ensure you dont use too much, would i probably did, as it spreads all over your face quite easily.

I have only tried a few Ecostore products before but nothing from their skincare range.  So when I was selected for this trial I was super stoked. I started using the products as soon as they arrived.

The moisturiser comes in a cardboard box which has all the ingredients and a stunning image on the side which is supposed to depict the Marlborough Sounds where the marine extract is sourced, very cool. The bottle has a pump which I love and holds 50ml of product, the moisturiser is a medium weight and a light beige in colour. A little definitely goes a long way with this. It smells amazing! It has a lovely kind of powdery scent.

I have sensitive and dry skin so have to be weary as new products can burn and cause a serious irritation. This passed the first test! Not even the slightest tingle woohoo. The thing I find annoying about moisturiser is sometimes they can be sticky, I absolutely hate a sticky face. This moisturiser is brilliant and dries down super quick, almost instantly.

I can apply BB cream or foundation right away and it glides on so easily. It sits so well over the moisturiser and my skin stays matte which is another thing I love. I apply this in the morning and it keeps my skin hydrated all day. My skin feels beautifully soft and supple. It has not caused any breakouts at all.

I did research on the ingredients and this moisturiser is great for helping to increase collagen and regeneration of the skin. So many beneficial ingredients and a company with great ethics. What is not to love! I am really enjoying trialling this and I think I now have a new favourite brand.  Paired with the cleanser and night cream it truly is amazing! My skin has never looked so good and healthy.

The packaging for this moisturiser was nice and simple, the pump is easy to use and I like that it has a safety cap for travel so it doesn't leak. The smell was overpowering, but once I got over that the moisturiser was lovely, really hydrating, although I did have to reapply through the day as I did get some dry patches, I did like the consistency of it. I do have very sensitive skin and it can be hard to balance between dry and oily. I did like this moisturiser, and I will keep using this bottle. Not sure I would go out of my way to buy it again though.

I love a pump bottle for my moisturiser, it makes it feel really clean and fuss free to dispense.

I really like that there are lots of natural ingredients, seaweed and kiwi fruit to name a few!

It has an unusual but pleasant smell to it, which doesn’t linger after you apply it.

This feels very hydrating when I apply it, but not at all greasy or heavy. My makeup sits really well on top of this moisturiser.

I’ve been using this for Anita 2 weeks now and my skin feels great, really soft and supple.

I don't tend to suffer from dry skin on my face but this winter, my legs, knees and feet have been very very dry and flaky (gross I know!) but this was such a dream to use on those areas. This has a really nice natural fragrance and is really pleasant. My only downside was that I wish that this was as natural as it smelt!
