As titled, I will be reviewing Simple's
products which are; the cleansing lotion, their facial toner and the
light moisturiser. I will tell you how well they work for me and how I
use them in my daily routine. Hopefully you will be encouraged to use
them yourself.
Simple is based in the United Kingdom and their claim to fame is that they are the "pre-eminent brand of skincare and toiletries products developed especially for sensitive skin." They are the No.1 skin-care brand in the UK. Their
prices are fairly low and well within a budget, they are one of the
least expensive cosmetic brands you'll find in the United Kingdom.
Now
my skin is oily and I can suffer from spots daily and everything else I
used to remove makeup with or moisturised with didn't help at all with
my skin and sometimes even worsened its condition. So I came across Simple's products a fair few years ago and I haven't used anything else since!
This
is cleansing lotion from the Kind-To-Skin range. When I use this, I put
about a grape-sized amount of lotion on a cotton pad and apply to both
of my cheeks, my nose, my chin and my forehead. I wipe in circular
motions all over my face and down my neck until all of the product has
soaked in. I do this when taking off my makeup and I do this twice to
ensure that all of my makeup is off my face. The only problem with this
is that it does not remove eye makeup very well at all, I'm often left
with panda eyes from my remaining mascara which I just usually take off
with a makeup wipe. Simple does have eye makeup remover but I am yet to buy this and try it out but I will one day!
This
lotion is just fantastic really. It removes about 99.9% of my makeup
and leaves my skin feeling refreshed and very clean. When soaked in, it
doesn't leave my skin feeling dry and it is in fact quite moisturising.
Over a period of days, I could see the results and I could tell my face
was not only feeling much cleaner but it was feeling more softer and
less oily.
You can buy it here for £2.99!
After
removing my makeup with the cleansing lotion, I then move onto the
facial toner. This product is really light and fragrance free. It is
very watery which some people don't like but I actually don't mind this
as all I do is put a few drops onto my cotton pad and apply it in the
same circular motions I used previously. This has
honestly made my skin feel that much tighter and more fresher
than it did before. It really wakes my skin up and makes it ready for
the day ahead.
You can buy it here for £1.99!
To
finish my routine, I apply this - the light moisturiser - with my
hands. As my skin can be oily, I tend to use this light one rather than
the other moisturiser which is rich and more thicker. I don't think
I'll ever stop using this, it's so great. Its consistency is a bit watery but
it's perfect and just right for my skin. It absorbs and
dries very quickly, leaving my face feeling soft and clean. It is not at all
irritating or greasy, just the ideal combination for my skin.
You can buy it here for £1.50!
Also if you want to know what type of cotton pads I use, they're just Superdrug's own cotton pads.
The
only criticism I have is that the designs of the bottles are pretty
bland but they are cheap so this isn't a big flaw for me as I am more
interested in what's inside. Other than that, I am so glad I started and
will continue to use these products as so far they are the best things
for my skin. They have changed it dramatically and although I still
break out often, they leave me feeling like my skin is clean and
healthy.

Love your blog! It's really annoying that I tried the cleansing lotion by Simple and my skin felt really dry afterwards! I think I must have really fussy skin :-( It's so affordable though! Maybe I'll try some more products, to see if any of them work for me. x

Thankyou! It's always best trying more of it because you never know you just find that one thing that just works. Hope you do find something! :) x
DeleteGreat post! I haven't tried this brand but I heard it's really cheap, so maybe I will :P

Aw thankyou! Yeah it's always worth a try, especially as it's so cheap!
DeleteThis is a great post. As i just said on your other post, i never have tried any of this but i think i will now pick up the one or other product from it when visiting London. Your skin sounds pretty much like mine. If i may leave a recommendation, the La Roche Posay products have done wonders on my skin. I really break out waaay less and if i do then they have the La Roche Posay effaclar duo which treats them within one night. They have several ranges and i use the one for oily skin. They also have a stay mate moisturiser which is great. (can you tell i love this range? ;))
