Yay!! New skincare products. Okay, not really new. Simple has been out for awhile but this is my first time trying them. I got a few of the products to review and after giving them about a month to work some magic, I am finally ready to review ’em.
First things first…you can grab these products and more at practically all drugstores and at places like Target and Walmart. This brand is SO up my alley because for one thing, it’s practically fragrance-free. Aaaanad, all of their products omit parabens, sulfates and phthalates. This hypoallergenic line has products for those of all skin types – normal,oily, dry and combination. The line carries everything from cleaners, moisturizers (with and without SPF), facial scrubs, toners make-up removers and eye creams. I’m going to do mini reviews of the products that I used…
Foaming Facial Cleanser ($6.99)
This cleanser promises to not only refresh and moisturize the skin, but it also promises to get rid of remaining traces of make-up. It has such a nice fresh scent and I think that’s due to the chamomile. The glycerin in it helps with hydration and I love how my skin didn’t feel streaky clean when I used it. It does a darn good job at thoroughly cleansing the skin and yep, I felt like it removed my excess traces of makeup. The price point is a great too and I love that even though it’s a foam, it will last well over a month. Maybe even two months.
Protecting Light Moisturizer with SPF ($11.99)
It’s been forever since I’ve tried a new moisturizer. I looooove this one. It’s just so…simple. No frills, no outrageous promises, it’s just a lightweight facial moisturizer. It’s perfect for this hot and humid areas and I appreciate not smelling the SPF that’s dumped in it. It isn’t greasy and is a great follow-u to the facial cleanser.
Radiance Cleansing Facial Wipes ($5.49 for 25 wipes)
Too lazy to splash some water on your face each night? Um yeah…me too. Which is why I LOVE facial wipes. They aren’t exactly eco-friendly but they work beautifully in a pinch. I currently have these stashed in my travel bag because I’m finding it great for cleaning my face and neck while on the go. I think these are best suited for those with extremely dry skin because they left a bit of a film behind. It wasn’t unpleasant but it may drive those with oiler skin crazy. I didn’t try ’em long enough to see if they brightened and evened my skin tone but with those claims, if I wasn’t a beauty blogger, I would definitely be into using this long term.
Oil Balancing Cleansing Facial Wipes ($5.49 for 30 wipes)
Similar to the Radiance wipes, these can be used in place of a traditional cleanser. It has promises to refresh skin and help control shine. It feels just as good as the Radiance wipes but I’d rather use those because of their promises to help even skin tone. Both wipes are alcohol-free. Yesssss!
Eye Make-Up Remover Pads ($5.49 for 30 wipes)
This are cute, uh? They promise to remove waterproof mascara but nope, my waterproof mascara was holding on tightly and wasn’t easily removed by the pad. *le sigh* I’d rather stick with my regular eye makeup remover and use the facial wipes for all over cleanup.
OVERALL: I’m a huge fan of this brand. There is a definite need for a line like this on the drugstore level. I have only worn preservative-free skincare products for years (due to my sensitive skin) so I am loving me some Simple.
Have you tried any of their products?
I loooove their moisturizer! I have ridic dry skin so usually have to depend on heavy moisturizers so was very pleasantly surprised that this was so lightweight yet was so good at keeping my skin moisturized. I got it free via mail (can’t remember exactly, but I think a beauty blog had it as a free promo giveaway) but I have definite plans to buy it once it runs out.
I know! I can’t stand heavy moisturizers. Especially in the summer. Yay for freebies!
I haven’t tried Simple products yet, but I’d try those convenient wipes!
They are perfect for on the go. Looooove.
I really love their cleansing facial wipes- I need to try the other versions!
Try the Radiance ones!
Did the moisturizer leave a white cast?
Nope! It didn’t. And I haaaate when that happens.
i’ve only tried their makeup removing wipes, but i loved it! may have to try more of the stuff!
If you like the wipes you’ll love some of the other products.
The only thing that bothers me about the daytime moisturizer is that the SPF is only 15. Here in Florida I think the minimum for daytime (not beach) really is 30, if not more, especially for very fair-skinned ladies (and gents)like me. Otherwise, I like the wipes, and the nighttime moisturizer. It really is a very good brand for the money!
I use the foaming facial cleanser and it really is amazing. And you are right, it lasts a good amount of time. I hadn’t tried any other products but I didn’t realize they had moisturizers without SPF. I need to try that because sometimes I don’t leave my house and I don’t always want to smell the spf in my moisturizer.
