Simple Kind to Skin Hydrating Light Moisturiser

As a victim of super oily skin, it would scare me to even touch a face moisturizer as my face is already very oily. But during the winter months, I began to notice dry patches of my face and I knew I had to search for something to make my face look... well right again. One of my friends recommended me to look at Simple products, and boy was I glad I took her advice. I found this moisturizer, a truly kind to skin and light moisturizer that did just the trick to my dry patches. It didn't make my oily skin any worse, which was a mega bonus! Though not the best smelling product out there, it certainly did what I was hoping this product would do for my skin, and a little product goes a long way for my face.

One fault is that it is quite hard to control the amount of lotion that is squeezed out, as the plastic the bottle is made out of is quite stiff and not very malleable.

This moisturiser is fantastic. It is a true testament to the statement "a little goes a long way". You only need the smallest of dollops to cover your whole face - and then some. It feels light and dosen't leave any residue behind, dries quickly and makes my skin feel awesome!

I wanted to try some Simple skincare products, so I bought a kit which included this moisturizer in a 50mL travel size version.

The moisturiser comes in the typical white and green Simple packaging. The packaging looks alright, although the labelling looks a bit too 'busy' to me due to all the various claims on the bottle. The moisturiser comes in a bottle with a screw off cap and the moisturiser is supposed to be poured out. I found the packaging really awkward to use as the moisturiser is quite thick, and won't pour out, so I have to squeeze it out, and it's not a squeezy bottle. I feel like this would be a lot easier to use if it was in a squeezy tube.

The moisturizer is white in colour and has a thick, creamy consistency. A little of this goes a long way, which is a positive in my book. The scent of this though smells a bit like PVA glue to me, which I find a bit off putting.

I have oily skin, and often nasty breakouts, and I look for moisturizers than can hydrate my skin, without irritating my breakouts or making my skin more oily. This product definitely fulfilled those needs. This is very gentle, and didn't irritate my breakouts, so I'd recommend this for those with sensitive skin. This made my skin feel soft, and hydrated without feeling slimey or looking shiny or oily.

This is an affordable moisturizer, and I'd consider purchasing the full size product, despite the scent and awkward packaging as this made my skin feel lovely.

My whole life i’ve hated moisturiser. I have oily skin and i always thought “why would i put something more oily on my skin?”. I knew how important everyone says moisturising is but i just couldn’t find one that didn’t leave my skin feeling sticky or oily. But i got given this for christmas and it has changed my perspective of moisturising. I love the way it makes my skin feel and i look forward to putting it on.

This is a great moisturiser, I use simple products for my cleansing and moisturising day and night. I have sensitive skin and this has never irritated my skin - which can be hard to find! The only thing I would note as that I prefer the 'rich' moisturiser over the 'light' moisturiser as I find it reduces blemishes for me.
