Simple Replenishing Rich Moisturizer

Very nice moisturizer. If you have sensitive skin, I would recommend you trying this product. I paired this with Simple's Micellar cleanser and my skin has stopped being reddened and flaky. The moisturizer spreads nicely, a little dab will do the job. I am in my 70s and this moisturizer really helps my facial and neck skin be softer and definitely less dry in appearance. I have tried many different moisturizers, some quite expensive and I would say this moisturizer exceeds even the more expensive ones.

**Update 4-26-21**Sometime in 2020, the ingredients of this lotion changed. Many of the ingredients stayed the same, but just as many did not. I'm not sure if it is for the better, but I'm still using it, and it still seems to work for me. However, with the ingredient change, I noticed the lotion seems to be slightly more greasy than the previous version (doesn't leave a shine on my skin, though) and the smell is slightly "fruity" compared to the crayon smell I stated in my older review. I attached a couple photos of the ingredients for each so you can see and compare. The older bottle has green letters with a white background whereas the newer one is written in white with green backing. Other than the change in smell and slight change in texture, my old review still pertains to this product, which you can read below:For many years, I've looked for a facial lotion that didn't have harsh chemicals or animal derived ingredients. Of the multitude of lotions I tried over the years (organic and the like), they were either too greasy (shiny skin), too smelly, plugged my pours or had a negative reaction to in some way. But now, I found this. . .and how thankful of that I am. Other than the change in smell and a little change in texture, my older review stillThis lotion is on the lighter side, but, even so, it still hydrates well for my very thin and sensitive skin. It doesn't leave a shine as most other facial lotions do, nor does it have much of a smell. The light smell it does have resembles that of a crayon -- to me, anyway -- which was only noticeable for a short time after application. And after my olfactory system acclimated to it (in about a week), I could no longer detect much of any smell, even right after applying it. Most importantly, though, my body tolerates this very well. With some lotions, it can take one's skin a week or so to adjust, can cause some minor blemishes or the like for a short time, but for me and this lotion, no such issues whatsoever -- none.Now. . .I'm not saying this will work for you as it has for me, nor am I saying you won't have any reaction to this. Everyone's body and its inner workings are as unique as one's fingerprint. What will work for one may not work for another, regardless of the outward similarities. The best we can do is try and see what works. It amazes me that many of the reviews for this lotion state that since this product didn't work for them, that it surely will not work for you if you have a similar type of skin or condition as they do. That simply is not true. It is all about trial and error, which can take a great amount of time. For me, it has taken me countless years of frustration and searching for a lotion such as this -- one that my body can tolerate and that which fulfills my needs.If you are wondering if this lotion is tested on animals and that you are confused like I was by the contradicting answers people have given within their reviews and the questions section (some say yes, while others say no), as of 11-5-18, their website states this: "We're constantly looking for smarter, more recyclable packaging option and more sustainably sourced cartons and ingredients. Simple is kind to skin and to animals too. We do not test our products on animals. We believe products that are safe for humans can be developed using non-animal approaches."Companies can sometimes lie, but I hope that statement is true. In the long run, lying never serves anyone well. As it is said, "Honesty is the best policy" and I truly hope it is so for this company. For further information, please check out their website: simpleskincare.comThe 4.5 overall star rating for a product like this is a very good, especially given how different people's bodies are. For me, this is a five star product.A big thank you to Simple for making a product such as this.

I have been using this product for years and it has been working great for me and my skin type and needs! I recommended to anyone who does not need a heavy moisturizer. I never liked having to pay a lot to try out a new moisturizer only to find out it made my skin oily and more prone to pimples. So, when I found this and that it worked for me, I stuck with it. The only reason that I would switch would be if there was something like this but better for wrinkles in the same product that I could afford. I would say that I have oily or combination skin. It seems combination most of the month and more oily when hormones change. I definitely notice my face is tight and itchy if I forget to put this on. With it on, I don’t feel like it added any oil or grease to my face at all. It is very thin and lightweight and easily absorbed. If your skin is extremely dry and you are in dry and cold weather all the time I could see how this might not be enough but I think that it is a great daily facial moisturizer for most people. The only issue that I have with this product is the bottle and the way it dispenses. I have wasted so much lotion due to this! Similar to how toothpaste will build up at the opening and the cap won’t close and you’ve got a mess, it is the same with this bottle. Even when I occasionally wipe the top after using it, it still builds up on the inside so the opening becomes smaller and you have to use more force, and then it has to push through the buildup and a lot of the product squirts out uncontrollably and goes to waste. They could do better with the dispensing design.

Good moisturizer, non greasy, lasts for the whole day. but makes you sweat

I’ve always been particular about lotions I use to moisturize my face. I use to have a very sensitive face, not so much anymore, but I still want a gentle and more natural choice. This product has worked great ever since I chose it as my replacement for another product that I can no longer find anymore. I was worried about having to test different lotions until I found a good one but this was my first alternative that I tested and I immediately liked it. The price is really good in comparison to many face lotions. It’s not too thick but it does a good job of moisturizing without having to use a large amount. It has never left my face feeling greasy, shiny, filmy, burning, stinging, or irritated. My technique is to wet my face and neck a little and then wet my hands and then apply the lotion to my hands and then rub it on. This helps to easily spread the lotion all around and I feel like it saves me from using an unnecessarily excessive amount. I also apply it around my eyes and on my eyelids and it has never made my eyes burn (just be careful it doesn’t get on your actual eyeball because potentially that could burn). This is a great product and I will continue to buy it and use it so long as it stays available and the price stays relatively the same.
