Sukin australian natural skincare range review

I just recently purchased 4 products from the brand Sukin Australian Natural Skincare. To give you an overview of my skin, i am very dry and eczema prone skin. I recently have eczema on my eyelids and in corners of eyes which means i can rarely wear eye makeup :(

I was looking for rosehip oil as i heard it was good for eczema and needed something i could put near my eyes. I came across this brand in Priceline and they had a sale on :) I bought their sensitive cleansing lotion, certified organic rosehip oil, sensitive calming night cream and rosehip hydrating day cream.




Sensitive Cleansing Lotion: 125ml $9.99 Priceline
This is a great cleanser, because it is a lotion when you wash it off it leaves a layer of product still on the face making it feel hydrated and not stripped of all your natural oils. I need this as my face is so dry and flaky. Probably wont be good for extremely oily skin because you might feel more oily but i love it on my skin. I got it on special $7.00 at priceline BARGAIN!

PROS:
- Great price
- Doesn't strip skin
- Comes in pump bottle
- Light scent
- Good for dry skin

CONS:
-Not all shops stock everything
-Some people might not like the earthy scent
-Might not be great for oilier skin



Certified Organic Rosehip Oil : 25ml $19.99 Priceline
This was the reason i found this brand. I was looking for pure rosehip oil for my eczema on my eyes. They were itchy and flaky and dry. The oil is great, has a very distinctive smell, some people wont like it but i don't mind it.

I was putting it on my face day and night before my moisturiser but found it was getting a litter too much for during the day and breaking me out a little.

Now i use it at night and i mix it in with my moisturiser and during the day i only use a little on my eyelids and inner corner where my eczema is the worst, my skin drinks it up pretty quick because its so dry. My skin feels so soft after using it and it is doing wonders for eczema. I picked this up for $15.99 so look out for sales.

PROS:
-Makes skin soft
-Hydrates my eczema prone skin
-Has a dropper
-Doesn't feel super oily on skin

CONS:
-Has a distinctive scent, some may not like
-Small bottle for price as i use on legs also
-Glass bottle (not great with kids around and oil is slippery)




Sensitive Calming Night Cream: 120ml $19.99
I got this one because i needed a good night cream that i could use with my rosehip oil. This one caught my eye because it was for sensitive skin and also calming which by night time my skin is so sore from itching my eczema all day :(
I find that its not heavy enough, i have used another one from akin that stings my skin but is really rich and heavy which is what i love in a night cream. The sukin night cream doesnt irritate my skin and i wake up with soft skin.

PROS:
-Lightly scented
-Hydrates skin
-Leaves skin and lips soft
-Doesn't irritate skin
-I can use over eye area

CONS:
-Would like it more thick and rich




Rosehip Hydrating Day Cream: 120ml $23.99
I actually purchased this one in a set with the rosehip oil so it is not a sensitive one. I needed a good daytime moisturiser that would keep my skin hydrated during the day without being too oily. This is great, its nice and light but gives me enough hydration which i need. It doesn't irritate my eczema either.

PROS:
-Light but hydrating
-Sinks in quickly
-Light scent

CONS:
-Might be too light for some
-Earthy rosehip scent wont be everyone's favourite :)

Overall i love this brand, it doesn't irritate my skin and is slowly helping my eczema and extremely dry skin. I would love to try out their shampoo and conditioner next because they don't use harsh ingredients :)
