SKIN by ecostore Gentle Cleanser Review

Recently my skin had an allergic reaction to something I used and so I hadn’t been using anything on my skin for a while so this was the perfect time to trail something new after the dust had settled.

Out of the 3 products this is probably the one I expected to think was just ok but it was amazing and this surprised me.

It was a gentle and great way to start using skincare again.

So they recommend doing a test patch which I usually do. I have sensitive skin and this has worked well for me. Perhaps it’s because it doesn’t have a lot of what a lot of other products have - parabens etc. Very gentle and mild. Didn’t hurt my eyes and it didn’t make my skin flare up. I found this much more effective than another brands natural cleansing product I’ve used - no comparison this actually worked cleansing my skin.

There was no product build up which is a problem I had when I used the goodness cleanser for example. It’s a beige cream cleanser that doesn’t really leather but it does spread well and it does wash. One pump was plenty. It smelt strong but I think that’s because I haven’t been using anything for a while but I adjusted quickly. It’s a floral scent that kind of reminds me of calendula??? Definitely similar to a calendula weldeda product I’ve used. I am not the biggest fan of that sort of scent but with something that’s good for your skin and more natural based beggars can’t be choosers. I’m prepared to let scent slide if I means I am being greener.

The pump bottle is really sleek. It definitely is my cup of tea - the packaging and pump bottles. Really nice look seeing the set lined up in the bathroom and spotting the subtle green differences in the lids for the different products.

In terms of effectiveness this cleanses and hydrates so I have to give it points for that. It doesn’t leave me dry and itchy like a lot of other cleaners I’ve used. I definitely could use this in the morning and didn’t have that urgent feeling of needing to moisturise. Night time it accompanied makeup removal and cleaning without overdrying. Eye makeup I would use this on a flannel with water to remove the stubborn mascara gently. I usually do this with any cleanser though.

Pleasantly surprised.

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. 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. Thats $60 for a whole regimen not just 1 product. The packaging is simple but classy & it was great to travel with, lids stayed on no problem. Well done Ecostore, i love your products :)

I purchased this product online a in October 2018, as I like to change up skincare and see if the new products will keep my skin feeling fresh. When I first tried this cleanser, it didn't feel harsh on my skin, and after massaging all over my face for probably 2 minutes, before washing it off, my skin ended up feeling very soft and not 'stripped'. It had a beautiful yet mild scent which I also loved

I was quite happy with ecostore cleanser. I liked the simple packaging and the lid. It was helpful having a pump as you get a good measured amount. I found this especially helpful when using in the shower. This cleanser did not foam but still cleaned makeup off well. There was very little left when I used a eye makeup remover that was only needed for my mascara. The smell was strong but pleasant and I didn’t find it to linger.

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 got the little skincare pack with 4 products in it. First off, the time it lasts for sucks. Only 6 months isn't enough to even use the small skincare squeeze bottles I can't even imagine finishing off the big bottle bought separately.

The product itself doesn't get crazy foamy which I like and has a very sweet but not strong scent. I like how natural it is and how little you have to use too. It does leave my skin feeling tight which I don't exactly mind because the next step for me is moisturiser which takes that feeling away.

I've gotten compliments that my skin has looked less red while using this product!

I got hold of a 20ml sample of this to try when I was doing my usual excessive purchase of Ecostore products. It's a brand I trust and I use them a lot around the house, so I was excited to see they have brought out a skincare range.

The cleanser smells vaguely botanical, a quite pleasant scent, and contains exciting-sounding ingredients like marine extracts and blackcurrant oil.

However, while I had no issues with this cleanser, it also didn't bowl me over with its amazingness, either. It was a reasonable cleanser, for a reasonable price. The one serious advantage to this is it is from an NZ company who has made a name for themselves using only totally trustworthy ingredients. That means this is a brand I would be comfortable recommending to people who were concerned about potentially unsafe ingredients in skincare.

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.
