This was not as gently on my sensitive skin as I hoped it would be. After a couple of days it seemed to irritate my skin as much as any other moisturizer. It would probably be great for someone with normal skin, but it didn't do the trick for me. Maybe not as all natural as the marketing leads you to believe?

The moisturiser was okay, it absorbed quickly but left my face feeling dry again very quickly. It's good value for money but I wouldn't say it was anything special.
I started using this moisturiser when I thought my skin could use a break from chemical filled products, and was also in need of a good moisturiser that wasn't greasy. The moisturiser definitely isn't greasy, it felt lovely on my skin and left my skin soft and hydrated after using it. However, turns out the Simple range isn't as pure and natural as they're marketed, and this caused my skin to break out in inflamed, painful cystic acne. Be careful if you're prone to this as every product I used from the Simple range caused this same reaction.
I used to use this all the time but have gone back to my fave Olay beauty fluid (the pink lotion) but this is definitely a great budget buy for dry tight sensitive skin types and is fragrance free.
I love the idea behind the product and that is specifically designed for sensitive skin, however I have found that if I have any dry patches it is quite stingy. More so than other moisturizers I have for normal skin. It isn't amazingly moisturizing like I like my moisturizers to be but does hydrate your face, just is not the best moisturizer out there. Definitely more hydrating face creams available for the same price.
I only ended up using half the bottle of this Moisturiser because I wasn't particularly impressed with it. It felt ok on and I do have slightly sensitive skin but I don't think it was enough for my skin. If I didn't put it on within about 10 mins of having a shower the skin on my face felt like it was stretching and going to break because it was so dry.
I have very dry skin; however, my skin breaks out easily with many moisturizers so I thought I'd give this a go.
The formula feels nice and light on your skin and absorbs quickly without irritation. For the most part it leaves my face feeling smoother than prior to application, although it doesn't do anything to the extremely dry areas of my face and I have to use a supplementary, higher strength product on those areas.
If I can find a product with the same light feeling with greater moisturizing capability I'll likely change to that, but for now it's a great base.
After reading the reviews on this I assumed I would love it. It's still not quite light enough. I'm really struggling to find a moisturizer that doesn't make my skin feel weighed down. It leaves just enough greasy to do that. It doesn't seem to help my dry patches that pop up every now and then. It seems to soak in for 5 mins then my skin drys out again. I feel like I'm reapplying more often than my sunscreen.
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.
I have used a few of the simple products and have been impressed by everything so far but this moisturier was dissapointing. It was not as moisturising as I hoped it would be as I have dry skin. I have tried the replenishing rich moisturiser from this brand and absolutely love it and bought this hoping for it to be similar.
