I just ordered a trial kit from this companywww.earthcare-na.com
In fact, they won't even sell you a full size until you buy a trial kit to test first. That is quite sincere and dedicated for a beauty company.
They remind me of Paula's Choice in philosophy except even more dedicated to cutting through the myths that cosmetics company perpetuate.
The trial kit came with three samples and detailed information on how to use it and the myths of cosmetics industry. They limit their products to a small line because they want to keep it simple and it's not about profits but sincerely wanting to provide quality and keep prices low.
I don't think their prices are that low but compared to the bigger companies and the amount I have spent testing to find a product that works it balances out.
I shall try to test the trial kit tomorrow. |

okay I tested this tonight and I am very impressed. It's very basic and gentle, definitely reminds me of Paula's Choice in the early days before she started getting into too many products.
Earthcare uses plant ingredients instead of animals due to risk of mad cow and other potential animal issues.
I found the products very gentle and mild on my skin. Best of all no scent so I did not feel overwhelmed by it. The cleanser is very gentle but I did not massage it long enough so it did not take all my makeup off but my face was not tight or dry. I didn't really like the moisturizer at first. It felt sticky and took so long to absorb. It took a few hours but then it stopped being sticky. The great thing was that I had developed two wrinkles in the past two years and they disappeared.
So I wonder if my skin was so dehydrated that it made it go away or if I really do have these wrinkles? I am still iffy about the moisturizer only cos of the stickiness but if I use it at night it shouldn't be an issue.
I also like the peeling gel. It didn't work right away but I need to be more patient. I have to let it sit on my face for at least a minute before the peeling effect takes place. Once I waited and then massaged my skin, gray bits started to come off.
I really like this line so I dont think I have to look for Fancl. |

I find this line interesting. The trial kit is only about $7 instead of $18 for the first 50 buyers each month.
Has anyone tried this? Sakura--do you have any updates? |
