Review: Dr.Sheller Jojoba Oil & Schisandra Soothing Moisturizing Care

Hey Beauties! 

Today's review is about a complimentary product to one of Dr.Sheller's that I already reviewed. You can read the review here. Since I liked their serum so much, I decided to try the cream as well.


This product is supposed to be soothing moisturizing care, which reduces light redness and offers lasting protection against the development of new skin irritations. It's designed for sensitive skin, which mine is.


The cream is white and a bit thicker. It's thin enough to spread easily on the skin. It also soaks in really quickly. Behind, it leaves a moisturizing, somewhat sheen on the skin, but the feeling is very matte. The cream has a pretty subtle smell, nothing offensive and it does not smell like the serum. I feel like the cream has more neutral smell, although nothing distinctive that I could describe.


I like that it's not too heavy, which a lot of creams for sensitive skin are. I like that it dries and soaks quickly and it definitely makes my skin less irritated. I feel like the combination of serum and cream work great as far as reducing any irritations on sensitive skin. If you're skin is very sensitive, then this is a great cream.

However, it has a problem. The problem being that if you touch the skin after you've put on the cream or start to put on other product over it, it literally starts to peel off. The more you try to rub the skin, the more the cream starts to peel off. Such a shame, because I really like the benefits of using this cream on my skin. I noticed this when I applied foundation over it with a brush and my face started peeling off. Not good.


Now, I use the cream whenever my skin feels really irritated. I mostly use it at night, because then this is my last step in the routine. I also spread the cream with a very light pressure and quickly. Once this sets, it's better not to touch it. It won't come off, unless you rub it.

It costs something around 10 € (13$ or 8£) and you get 41 grams of product.

I think I won't be buying this cream again. It's a shame, because it works great with my skin, but I just can't be bothered to only use it when I know I won't be putting anything on top. And even that I have to do quickly and in a fairly thin layer. 

Review: Martina Gebhardt Sheabutter Tonic

Hey Beauties!

Continuing my product reviews from Ecco Verde, this one is going to be about sheabutter tonic from Martina Gebhardt. I have never been a real fan of tonics and that's exactly why I decided to buy this one. It had some very promising description.

So the company owns Martina Gebhardt and her company looks like a bigger version of house. So cool. Not one of those extremely large skin care brand. I liked her philosophy for her products. She said that her products contain only those ingredients that are necessary and that complement each other to create the special, magical essence that exceeds the sum of its individual components.

This tonic is supposed to refresh, tone especially sensitive skin, prone to inflammation. It cleans, works as and astringent, regulates the amount of oiliness and improves skin's natural acid mantle. 

Here is the ingredients list:


I haven't own that much tonics, but those that I did were either too full of alcohol or had some irritating ingredients in it. This one feels really nice on the skin. It's a fluid that I spread all over my face with a cotton pad. The smell of it is very subtle, nothing special or characteristic about it. It feels very hydrating, but not greasy in any form. It makes my skin feel like a layer of moisture has been put on. It doesn't tighten the skin or makes it irritated. Very good for sensitive skin or skin prone to irritations. I also find that it cleans the last of my makeup and it moisturizes nicely. It also feels very soothing. I use it in the morning after cleansing and in the evening. 

I guess this is one of those products good for if you want a thin layer of moisture and are a bit lazy. Because this is extremely easy to use and it does makes the skin hydrated. 

It comes in a glass bottle in a spray form. I bought 30 ml version for 9.89 €, which is not cheap but not overly expensive either. You can also buy it in the 100 ml version. 

Review: Pai Camellia & Rose Gentle Hydrating Cleanser

Hey Beauties!

As promised here is a review of one of the products that I purchased on Ecco Verde. If you want to know more about that you can read it here.

While browsing through the online store I couldn't help but not noticed Pai. This is a brand that formulates products with sensitive and allergy-prone skin in mind. Perfect for me! Their slogan is Pai organic solutions for sensitive skin. The product that stood out to me was the Dual Action Facial Cleanser & Eye Make-up Remover. 

It says: Pai Camellia & Rose Hydrating Cleansing Cream gently removes dirt, make-up and other impurities that build on the skin throughout the day. Bursting with Omega 3 and Vitamins A, B & E, it replenishes the skin's moisture barrier, leaving it soft and supple. Suitable for all sensitive skin types, the Pai Hydrating Cleanser is detergent and alcohol-free, so won't dry out or irritate skin. It is designed for use around the eyes to remove even waterproof mascara.

Here you can see the ingredients list, which is impressing in my opinion. Especially when you go to the drugstore and look at those ingredients lists, this one seems to be a breath of fresh air. 


Now what do I think about it? I think it's amazing. Especially for my sensitive a-lot-of-times irritated skin. Most of cleansers irritate my skin and leave red spots on my face. Sometimes accompanied by itchiness. This cleanser didn't do any of that. 

The product comes in a plastic tube with a pump system. Very hygienic. One pump is enough for the entire face. The texture seems to be a mixture of a cream and a foam. Something in between. But once you start putting it on a damp skin it becomes very slippery or even greasy. Not like butters, but pretty greasy, which of course helps with the cleansing a lot. After you take it of with a muslin cloth or water it leaves on your skin a really nice moisturizing layer. And I'm not thalking anything greasy, like my Balea Med does - which I have figured out since using this one, but just a layer that gives your skin back the moisture. The skin doesn't feel dry or tight at all. I love the feeling of it. I also love the smell. I can't explain what it smells of, but it's very light almost soothing smell. It reminds me of a sweet chamomile.


Now as far as makeup removing capabilities goes I kind of don't entirely agree with Pai. I have tried to remove my eye makeup and it did a brilliant job with the Maybelline Color Tattoo, however not the same with mascara. I personally can't imagine using a cleanser to remove my eye makeup, because I am so used to using Bioderma or any kind of water for that.  As far as waterproof makeup goes, I haven't tried, because I don't wear waterproof makeup. Now foundations... I tried removing my foundation with it, but not the best. The lines around my nose or in between brows, that's where the foundations got stuck and I couldn't remove it. What I am saying is, a light coverage makeup might go away with just using this cleanser, however anything heavier I wouldn't recommend. I was surprised that while putting it on my eyes it did not irritate my eyes at all. Thumbs up for that!

I use this cleanser in the morning and in the evening after removing my makeup. And for that it is brilliant. I find that it soothes my skin and I never get any red spots. I swear my skin feels less irritated since using all of the products combined, which I have purchased on Ecco Verde. 

I got a 50 ml version, but you can get also 100 and 200 ml. 50 ml version costs 17.99 €. Not the cheap cleanser, but worth it if you really struggle to find something for sensitive skin. I would also recommend this to anyone with dry skin. I think it would be perfect for those, because dry skin can also be irritated because of the dryness. 

I'll admit it is more expensive product from what I usually use, but if I can invest in a good hair mask, I'll probably be investing in this too, since my skin is a bit demanding and it's hard to find a product that works. 

Have you tried any of the Pai skin products? Do you like this brand?
