SKIN by ecostore Gentle Cleanser Review

This product is rich and creamy. It feels soothing and hydrating on my face and neck. Its rich in avocado, apricot and kiwiseed oil so it lends itself to removing makeup as well as any environmental factors from the day.

I love that it is filled with New Zealand Sourced ingredients - seaweed and grapeseed extracts to nourish and keep skin hydrated.

Conveniently its packaged in a pump dispenser so no mess and no waste and also great for travel as its lockable.

The fragrance is subtle and smells herbaceous and planty and a bit like the ocean - hence the Marine Boiactives contained within.

This product really does leave skin feeling super soft and clean without stripping the skin or making it feel tight.

I love the price point at $19.99 for 140mls. Its great value for money and supports the New Zealand Economy as its made right here in New Zealand. Easy to find at your local supermarket that stocks Ecostore or buy online.

I will definitely be looking out for other products in this range to try.

Firstly, the packaging of this product is fantastic. It give a nice easy to use product. The cleanser doesnt come out all clumped. It comes out in a nice smooth texture and you can pump as much as you want out, but i wouldnt recommend going over board. You only need to use a little pump as it spreads onto your face quite easily. Its smooth silky texture feels good against your skin and the smell is quite refreshing and natural smelling. Easy to apply and easy to wash off. Makes your face feeling fresh and cleansed.

First impression was good, I loved the design on the side of the box, in a green/orange marine gradient. The packaging of the pump bottle was nice and easy to use, dispensing the right amount. The cleanser itself is the same creamy beige colour as the bottle. It has an organic natural smell, which while not unpleasant, wasn't pleasant either. I patched tested a few hours before to just ensure no issue. The cream was more like a lotion, and on the skin it almost takes the appearance of a silky foam cleanser without the foam, as opposed to a true cream cleanser. My skin felt clean after, and it removed my BB Cream and light make up well, however I had to use a bit to remove my lipstick. Washed off fine, skin felt nice.

I was excited to try this as I do like to try and use eco friendly products. I love the look of the packaging although i find with pumps you loose out on the last little bit you can't get out of the bottle. It had an earthy fragrance with was unoffensive. My skin felt clean and refreshed afterwards. I'd use it again.

Firstly, I really love the way that it smells - so natural and clean! However though it is packed with a lot of natural ingredients. it is still not a totally natural product. It has a light brown colour to it, which may put some people off but I didn't mind it. It felt very soft and creamy on my skin and left my skin feeling soft and clean. The packaging is very sleek but as it is a cleanser, it seemed like a small bottle for something that you would use every day.

Contemporary packaging signalling this is an eco friendly product, which is easily definable by size and description. This product comes in a 140ml pump bottle and each pump is a good amount of product, possibly a little too much. This item delivered what it said it would but the scent was a little off putting for me. The Cleanser was easy to apply and left my skin feeling clean but not tight.

I really enjoyed using this product, especially as it came with a handy pump applicator, which you don't find very often on a cleansing milk. I would use one - two pumps at the end of the day and generously massage over my face and neck, then rinse off to remove. This product really lasted the distance with the cleanser remaining to apply a good massage and then cleanly rinsing away, leaving no trace of dryness, redness or itchiness! It felt calming and soothing to my face and easily removed my make up at the end of the day. I really enjoyed the easy application and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this product to anyone with sensitive skin.

I came into this review with high hopes and it matched up pretty well. I love the clean design and packaging of these products. The pump put out just the right amount of product (I have been battling with one that was far too generous prior to eco skin). The product went on nice and smooth and made my skin feel lovely after I washed it off. One big downside was the smell. It wasn't horrible but definitely disn't scream luxury - it actually made me think hospital... not ideal

I found this cleanser to be gentle as advertised but I did not find it would remove all my foundation. I usually use a scrub cleanser which is probably where the big difference is. The smell is refreshing and I like the bottle with the pump for an easy application. I won’t be buying this product unfortunately although I’m sure for someone who doesn’t wear a lot of make up it would do a good job.

The ecostore Skin: Gentle Cleanser has an unusal consistency, it's neither foamy nor creamy. It's beige and kind of melts on to my face rather than creating a lather which I'd prefer as that's what makes me feel like my face is being deeply cleaned. I've been using this cleanser twice a day, which is also efficient in the removal of my makeup at night (so I guess it is effective in doing it's job!)

I don't love the fact that Eco Store products all smell exactly the same from dishwashing liquid or cleanser but I do love that they use natural ingredients, don't test on animals and are kind to the environment.

The branding is basic but the packaging is nice with a sturdy plastic pump bottle with a secure cap which comes in a cardboard box. The 140ml bottle is easily thrown in a gym bag without risk of leakage and great value at $19.99.
