SKIN by ecostore Hydrating Moisturiser Review

This moisturiser was refreshing, but I did find the fragrance overpowering. I’m used to no fragrance so this might be why I thought this. I found after applying this I would feel like my skin was wanting more and almost right feeling. I think I prefer a thicker, cream moisturiser. The pottle is easy to use and would ensure you get every last bit out. After several days use I am looking forward to going back to my original moisturiser as my skin is craving it.

I have sensitive skin + eczema and this moisturiser both dried out my face and left it irritated and red. After having a look at the ingredients I'm guessing it could be from the fragrances (even though they're "natural") and/or the random oils. The smell of this moisturiser is quite strong and the consistency is quite thin, so I was a bit skeptical when I tried it out. Unfortunately it's not for me and for anyone with sensitive skin I would recommend a simple fragrance free moisturiser instead.

I got this product in a BBBE. I was excited as I haven't tried any Ecostore skincare before.

On first opening it, I liked the packaging - simple white bottle with a pop off lid, and a pump top underneath. So I pumped and pumped. And didn't feel too pumped - nothing came out! So I unscrewed the top to find there was no tube from the pump into the product. Annoying.

Anyway, so from there on in I've been using it every morning by shaking it and banging it out into my hand. Not very elegant at all.

Anyhoo, the product itself is a white cream, just thick enough to meet my preference for thick white creams - tick! It has the odd smell that usually comes with products with calendula in them, but it's not strong enough to be off-putting. I don't know if it has calendula or not, but it's just that kind of scent.

It is lovely and soft and absorbs quickly. I can say it is one of the more superior moisturisers I've used for day use. It says it will aid in cell regeneration and increase skin hydration. It is definitely hydrating and my skin feels smooth after using it. I haven't been using it at night as I'm using a lovely oil, but I'd say it would also make a good night cream.

$27 is a fair price for a good moisturiser. I would probably buy it again with the expectation that it would have the tube in it so I could pump it out. And I'd like to try other products from Ecostore as I am encouraged by this one.

A beautiful product with an amazing smell. Feels smooth on my face and gives it a soft glow, dries quickly so you can apply make up. Comes in a great sized 50ml pumped bottle. NZ made.

I actually LOVE this moisturiser! I have dry and oily skin so it's hard to find a moisturiser that works for both. It's so hydrating and good to use before applying makeup. It feels SO velvety on the skin and it's a lovely feeling! You don't have to use much to apply the product to your entire face, maybe a pea sized amount.

If you have dry skin in any other areas this works out really well even if the areas can be sensitive. My boyfriend's ears get really dry and flaky and as soon as I started using this on them it cleared up. So good for sensitive skin!
