SKIN by ecostore Gentle Cleanser Review

Firstly, Ecostore have done a great job on this packaging, I love the pump bottle. It stores easily and I can dispense the right amount of product with ease when washing my face.

The product is an unusual earthy colour and the mixture of ingredients (seaweed, avocado and blackcurrant to name a few) make for a very interesting, but not unpleasant, scent.

I massage this cleanser into my face (I’ve tried it with my fingers and with my skin sonic, both work great) then rinse with warm water.

I don’t have dry skin but my skin feels very supple and hydrated after using, so I can see why it is aimed at normal/dry skin.

Overall a great product that I would definitely repurchase.

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 cleanser 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. It comes in a handy pump bottle with 140ml of product and is a light beige in colour.

It is quite thin and you definitely don't need to use much. I use this in the morning, I like to wet my face in the shower then massage this all over. It smells great and does a fantastic job at cleaning my face. I don't get any irritation at all and no horrible tight feeling.  Just clean, fresh skin.

This is a lovely lightweight gentle but effective cleanser. A fantastic list of ingredients including calendula which is supposed to soothe irritated or inflammed skin.  My skin looks amazing and that is thanks to this cleanser paired with the moisturiser and night cream. Love it!

This really is a lovely cleanser to use. It was so gentle on my skin leaving it feeling clean, smooth and not tight at all. The pump bottle that it comes in is fantastic for use in the shower and while I thought the scent was a little strong, once using it, it was a light fragrance that didn't linger. I have really enjoyed using this cleanser for my dry skin and would highly recommend it to anyone wanting a hydrating cleanser.

I am thttiled to have been selected to trial this ecostore cleanser as part of the skin care regime range. The cleanser comes nicely and discreetly packaged. There’s an understated elegance about the packaging mostly due to its simple and subtle pastel colours. The same is also true for the actual dispensing bottle that the cleanser comes in. The product dispenses easily and is easy to apply to either wet or dry face. It’s got a smooth, silky texture and washes off easily. The face feels soft and clean after use and there is no dryness or irritation. It’s a mild, gentle cleanser that does the job without stripping your face of its natural oils or moisture. Oh and it smells great too.

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.

Ecostore are a brand that I had heard of in relation to eco-conscious household cleaning products, but I was not aware that they made skincare products too.

This cleanser comes in a pale green and white cardboard box, with the image of orange sunlight filtered through green water on one side. The cleanser comes in a white plastic pump bottle with a green plastic cap. The bottle feels solid and it is nice to hold. It contains 140ml, which is a very decent size. The pump is very easy to use.

I have quite dry, sensitive skin, so I prefer to use a cream cleanser over other kinds of cleansers as I find them less drying. A good cream cleanser is always hard to find though. I found this cream cleanser to be very kind and gentle on my skin. It is beige in colour, with a very mild, perfumed scent. It is very easy to massage into damp skin, although it says you can also use it on dry skin. My skin feels very soft and moisturised after using this. It contains ingredients such as seaweed and grapeseed extracts, and avocado, blackcurrant and grapeseed oils.

I am very impressed with this cleanser. I will continue to use it beyond the trial, and I will definitely consider repurchasing it.

Love this product, comes in a good sized 140ml pump action bottle that is super smooth to use. I use this every morning in the shower on my face and it left my skin feeling clean and refreshed, has a gentle smell to it which I like as I'm not into strong overpowering fragrant smells. Its full of lots of nutrient-rich NZ goodies like blackcurrant oil, grapeseed & seaweed to calm and soften the skin. I will definitely be buying this product again in the future as it is not only great on my skin but also is very well priced and available at the supermarket.

I love love love this cleanser. It made my skin feel amzing each time after using it. It had a pleasant smell and was easy to get out of the packaging. The pump on the lid makes it easy to use and I like that the cap didnt feel flimsy. Paired with the moisturiser my skin felt amazing and pampered. Would definitely recommend and buy this again.

I really enjoyed this cleanser. I like the simple packaging and the pump works well. The scent is strong, but it's not offensive to me. The colour of the lotion is an interesting shade of beige. The job it does? Brilliant.

I used two pumps and found it did a great job of cleansing my skin, including getting rid of the day's makeup - no panda eyes in the morning! It didn't leave my skin feeling stripped, in fact it felt hydrated post-use.

I'd definitely recommend this cleanser and would buy it again.

I really, really enjoyed this cleanser. I do struggle with cleansers, I find one I love, use it for a month or so, and it'll 'over correct' something.

At the moment I'm leaning towards being too oily on my T-zone, with slight drying on my cheeks. My current cleanser is a foaming cleanser, that works well on the oil, not so great on the dry.

On to the SKIN by ecostore cleanser. The packaging is simple, dare I say, a little boring maybe? 140ml will last ages. And can we get a 'Holla' because its in a pump! Yus. No fiddly caps, or squeezey tubes.

It's a cream cleanser, beige in colour. It smells...funny. I don't know. Its probably because there's no added fragrance and this is just what it smells like?

I applied using wet fingers and gently massaged it in. It doesn't really lather, but it does feel like it soaks in for an almost, oil like cleanse? It removed my daily face of bb cream and liquid lip - but didn't touch my mascara, but that's fine.

Immediately after use my skin felt soft. There was no tightness. After a few weeks use I'm still enjoying it, my skin feels quite balanced. I think for $20 you can't moan about all the goodness this brings - its cruelty free, natural, good for the environment. It does what I want a cleanser to do.
