Guys! My skincare routine hasn’t changed in 3 years. When I find something I love, I refuse to let it go! I recently got to try Ecco Bella’s Two Week VitaminCells Skin Care Kit, which retails for $49.95. Although this kit is meant to be used within 2 weeks, I gave myself a little extra time to make sure my thoughts were right. It’s been about a month and I still have product in each of the bottles. A little goes a long way with these products. Here’s my take, and I’ll provide all the individual links too!
Deep Cleansing Gel Mini ($8.95): This gel has a much thinner formula than what I’m used to. I love it. It lathers up really well on your face and feels incredibly lightweight. It’s like water for your face! The longer you massage the product into your skin, the cleaner it feels. This cleanser can also be used as a makeup remover! It’s. Insane.
Natural Mist-on Toner Vitamin Spray Mini ($8.95): I’m not a toner fan, but I’ve tried this a few times. This product is totally different than regular toners that soak into the skin and dry…dry? Haha, so this product is drying a little oily. I don’t usually feel the product on my face when I spray on other toners, but with this one, I definitely feel it. It contains “soothing aloe, apple cider vinegar, and organic herbs” as part of the ingredients that help restore skin vitality. Although my skin felt incredibly healthy…I still gave this product away to my cousin. I didn’t hate it…I just wasn’t thrilled. Give it a try if you like toners, and let me know what you think!
Blemish Remover & Leave On Exfoliant Mini ($12.95): All I can say about this is WOW. I felt a pimple forming and thought nothing of it. The next day, a red bump started sprouting from my skin like daisies in spring. The moment I applied this blemish remover, that pimple was gone. OK, not “the moment I applied it,” but within a couple of hours. It literally disappeared in a flash! I haven’t tried it as an exfoliant, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was an amazing one considering Ecco Bella’s track record of perfect products.
Age Antidote Day Cream Mini ($15.50): This day cream was lighter than the moisturizers I’m used to. The formula is much more watery and smells…natural. Although the smell isn’t my favorite, this product creates a very nice base by making my face look incredibly smooth while protecting my skin from the sun. Guys, my face looked flawless.
Night Rebuilder Mini ($15.50): This product is thicker than the day cream and also smelled “natural.” I do see results when I use this night cream without the rest of the skincare line though. I have the larger bottle of this product and my mom LOVES it. So I literally haven’t seen the bottle since my mom found it haha! Apparently she saw her frown lines and crow’s feet disappear within a week of use. My skin tone evened out and looked so much smoother right before my eyes. **obvious exaggeration but my skin really does look great** The key active ingredients in this formula are Leutin (prevents harmful free radicals), Lycopene (helps improve moisture and elasticity), Astaxanthin (reduces wrinkles, lightens age spots, improves skin microtexture), Beta-carotene (helps skin look radiant), CoQ10 (neutralizes free radicals), Vitamin C and E (promotes collagen and skin nutrients), Ceramides and Hyaluronic Acid. You can find all the information about Ecco Bella ingredients here.
Let me know if any of you have tried Ecco Bella or other cruelty-free/all-natural brands. I have a few makeup products from Ecco Bella that I will be testing out soon and creating a look with as well. Stay tuned!
With love,
Susan
