Living Nature (from New Zealand)

They're not 100% organic but they claim to be paraben free, synthetic preservative free, mineral oil free etc.
You can learn more about them here http://livingnature.com/whysafeandnatural.cfm

I've recently started on their Purifying Cleanser, Manuka Hydrating Gel Mask, Hydrating Gel and Extra Hydrating Gel.

I would say the scent is not pleasant but bearable.

Their gel mask is very gentle. I can apply it right up to little below my lash line and it doesn't even irritate my eyes. The hydrating effect, however, isn't that fantastic. But then again, I have severely dehydrated skin(that is oily in nature :!: ) so most hydrating gels aren't fantastic on me(yet appears to be the only thing that won't give me clog pores).

Purifying Cleanser is good. Cleans properly. Slightly mintly on the skin. Gel like that lathers semi well. Overall, it is a good cleanser but I'm not sure if I'm willing to pay the price for something that just cleans my skin. Might not repurchase because I believe that something cheaper but does the same job well is out there waiting for me to discover it.

The hydrating gel and extra hydrating gel is actually their toner. The former for oily/combi skin, the latter for normal/dry skin. However, I use them as morning/night moisturiser. They have good tightening effect and you feel it after applying it and letting it dry. It's not supposed to have a tightening effect(not mentioned on product description) but it has that effect on me. Sadly, both leave a film on my skin(dried but not absorbed?) The extra more so than the normal one. If I rub my face, it actually flakes and I get little crumbs falling. I'm not sure if it's my skin's problem(again, the oily nature plus severe dehyration of my skin is rather hard to deal with) because I've heard plenty of good reviews before I got it. I am disappointed.

What are your experience with this brand?

Oh, their Balancing Day Lotion apparently caused a minor case of clog pores for one of the forumers(on cozycot) who used it. She has combi/dehydrated(but not that serious) skin.
