This post brought to you by éclos Skin Care. All opinions are 100% mine.
I was recently asked to review the éclos Skin Care Line. It’s marketed as an anti aging product but that’s totally not what swayed me to try the skin care line (I’m with you–the anti-aging angle is a tad gimmicky). What sucked me in was that I noticed the ingredients were exactly what I’ve been looking for. For those of you that don’t know, I work professionally in the natural health and wellness arena. So, while I make certain moral concessions for pretty, I really try to keep my beauty products free of things like parabens, synthetic fragrances and dyes as much as possible. When I saw that Eclos products were free of all of these things, made with great herbal extracts and actually reasonably priced, I was so excited to give it a try.
It’s made with the apple, Uttwiler Spatlauber, which has gotten some hype in the science-of-beauty world for it’s ability to smooth skin where it needs a little smoothing. (I’m not a fan of the word “wrinkle” {chills})
I received the starter kit which contained an entire (and well thought-out) regimen of beauty potions. I did what any gal would do upon receiving fun new beauty prod, I went in for the smell test. Let me tell you, I L O V E D the scent. Each product is scented using essential oils like rosewood, palmarosa, cardamon, geranium and a few others. They all have such an awakening and bright, citrusy scent. After I finished my samples I was definitely hooked and went out to get the full sizes of everything!!
On instagram, I was asked about my whole routine using these so here’s the deets:
// Facial Cleanser Skin Prep: Used (daily): This is your daily cleanser. Easy. I used this with the Mia at least once a day. It’s considered the “skin prep” because it prepares your skin for the other elements of the regimen.
// Instant Radiance Facial Scrub (every other day): I used this right after the cleanser in the evening every other day. It’s intended to exfoliate your skin and increase cell turnover and it’s actually a nice scrub product. The scrubs are a finely milled salt so it almost dissolves a little and is really gentle.
// Skin Renewal Clay Mask (every 3 days): I only used this in the evenings and just 4 times in the time I was trying the products and loved it. It’s intended to really draw out the dirty the deep in the pours and also tighten the skin. When it dries you feel that really fun stiffening and sucked back feeling… which I always love. {is that weird?}
// Cellular Activator Face Serum (daily): I used this every night and most mornings. It’s meant to smooth skin by promoting collagen production. It smooths on pretty easily and is definitely refreshing.
// Restorative Eye Cream (daily): The dab dab dab!! I dabbed. Morning and night! this definitely hydrated the eye area and I did notice some smoothing by the end of the second week.
// Moisture Therapy Regenerative Cream (daily): The finishing touch. I used this morning and night at the end of each routine. I actually love this moisturizer.
// eclos Terry Cloth Head Band (everyday, actually!): Secures the hair back… Obvi.
After using the whole regimen for two weeks I was definitely happy with it (and the super clean ingredients) and now that I’ve been using the line for about a month I’m hooked! Which is crazy because I was a Philosphy girl to the core.. I think my skin looks so much smoother and more refreshed. Do you think so too?! Here’s two pics I was able to find to make a comparison.

So intrigued about this line!! Thanks for reviewing it! I would love to try out the eye cream.
Love your blog (obviously). Being a stressful PT student struggling w/ breakouts Id definitely be interested in trying ALL of the products (but more specifically the scrub and mask)! KEEP ALL THE GOOD STUFF COMING!!!
I’ve been looking for a new skin care line to smooth out some previous damage. I love how natural this sounds because after seeing a naturopath, the last thing I want to do is put chemicals on my face. I love how cleansed my face feels after face masks. Would love to try the éclos.
ooohhh!! i need to smooth out some crinkles, and draw out these pores! gimme, gimmie :)
I’d love to try all of them, but the clay mask sounds like something I need to add to my weekly routine.
I would love to try the clay mask! I’ve been wanting to try a natural one. I’m a big fan of One Love and Eminence products because they are natural as well, but I’m definitely loving your review of these products.
A natural skin care line sold at Target? I need to go check this out. I would love to try the scrub to freshen up my skin.
The serum sounds amazing. I am always looking for collagen producing products.
I am MOST excited about the Restorative Eye Cream. I’ve sworn by Clinique’s All About Eyes for the past two years. I’d be excited if I found a more reasonably priced alternative that’s part of a line with additional awesome products for my face! :)
I’d obviously like to try ALL of them but I think I’m most interested in Restorative Eye Cream. I’ve never used an eye cream and am curious to see if it help my eye area!
This looks amazing! I would love to try it all, but the clay mask looks great.
With the big 3-0 sneaking up on me, I have been searching for a new skin care regimen and this looks great! Would love to try the whole line, but especially the face serum.
Im just really excited this is a drugstore buy! It’s nice to see an all natural line so readily available. Would really love to try the mask — I’m obsessed! Always makes me feel like I’m REALLY doing something for my skin.
i hope i’m not too late for the giveaway! i would love to try the restorative eye cream the most
Every one of the products reviewed is what I would like to try. Especially since I have not been kind to my skin and it’s needed. But hey, it’s never too late right? :)
I have used Melaleuca for the last year, but just saw this at Target. I would LOVE LOVE to try the eclos line..it is so affordable!
thanks
Actually, I saw the age spot remover on ebay which prompted me to review the product line . I googled and was brought to your site !! I’ve subscribed to your newsletter and liked your Facebook page !!
So…in response to the drawing, I am anxious to try all of the products you mention above and also the age spot remover. Thanks !!
