✨I’m really pleasantly surprised by this product! Usually, me and Simple products don’t usually get on as I’m slightly allergic some some of their products. However, this actually works really well on my skin. I use this when my skin is flaring up with cystic acne to keep it hydrated but not overly. It is lovely and lightweight so works really well with oily skin. I use this as a serum and apply a gel moisturiser over the top to ensure I don’t breakout with a full face of acne. If you have drier skin, this probably won’t be rich enough for you and equally, you may need something a bit more heavy duty for PM. But, for using on a daily basis on any type of skin, it leaves you hydrated and not looking oily and greasy. A new staple in my skincare stash!

I am in my mid 30's with combination, medium tone skin and green eyes. My hair is medium brown, combination with fine texture.
I have very problematic skin (I'm basically every skin type combined in one) so I'm picky about the products I use. Gel-creams are my favorite type of moisturiser, because they are hydrating without being heavy, and this one is no exception. It feels very similar to the Garnier moisture bomb night cream, but if anything is even more silky. It's light enough to be suitable for oily skin but moisturising enough for dry & dehydrated types. It hasn't exacerbated my acne and it has no obvious fragrance, so it's good for sensitive skin too, and it sinks in quickly without any residue, so it would probably make a good base for makeup. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a good, hydrating and affordable daily moisturiser. The one downside is it doesn't have any SPF so I would recommend mixing it with one if you wear it out during the day.

I am in my mid 30's with combination, fair tone skin and blue eyes. My hair is blonde, oily with fine texture.
This is a very light weight moisturising which does leave my skin feeling hydrated and is a good base for make up. However, one of the top ingredients is dimethicone, which leaves my skin feeling very smooth and almost like plastic, which I don't like.

I got this after trying the Simple hydrating booster, I love this as a quick and easy moisturiser to compliment my current skin routine as this really leaves my skin feeling hydrated. I will purchase this again and keep using it.
