Simply Put – A Simple Skincare review and Giveaway

By 131 Comments

“In character, in manner, in style, in all things, the supreme excellence is simplicity.” – Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

My skin goes through phases, at times more sensitive than others. I’ve been drinking more water, which seems to help with hydration, but recently tried a product which irritated my skin. I am not a fan of perfumes or scents in my facial skincare.

This is why I was especially pleased to review some products from the Simple skincare line.

Simple was formed in the UK in 1960, with cleansing products without perfume or color, especially designed for even the most sensitive skin. Today it is the UK’s #1 facial skincare range with no artificial perfumes, dyes, or harsh irritants that can upset your skin’s balance. This is music to my ears! They use “skin-loving” ingredients instead with added vitamins for natural and healthy skin.

I know that when my skin is clean, clear, moisturized and healthy, I look and feel better and more beautiful.

The first product I tried were the Exfoliating Facial Wipes.

 I remember a while back talking to a skincare expert about my skin and she stressed the importance of exfoliating to me. Over time, old dead skin cells cling to the skin’s surface. Exfoliation is beneficial because it removes those cells that are clinging on, revealing the fresher, younger skin cells below.

I really love this product for many reasons. Though some might find the texture a bit rough, that is its purpose and it’s really quite gentle compared to many other exfoliation methods I’ve tried. My skin felt remarkably clean and new afterward, also very soft. These wipes contain Pro-Vitamin B5 and Vitamin E to help restore, moisturize and renew as well as aloe vera to help condition.

They come in a convenient, resealable package and they are so easy to use. Just pop one out, smooth it over your face and you’re done, no scrubbing and having to wash afterward. Simple!
They are Dermatologist tested, Opthamologist tested, safe for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers, hypoallergenic and noncomedogenic.

They also make Cleansing Facial Wipes.

The next product I tried was the Refreshing Facial Wash Gel.

I really like the green natural looking packaging. It reminds me of spring and jumping in cool water and playing in the tall grass when I was younger. It reminds me of woods, forests, and trees. It reminds me of simpler days.
I love this wash because it has no soaps, no perfumes and no dyes. You really only need a tiny amount, so this will last you a good while. It has a bit of lather, not too much, and rinses easily, again leaving my skin really refreshed and clean. Honestly, I don’t find that many products that don’t feel the need to put in harsh additives. It’s a bit of a revelation for me. 
This cleanser contains Pro-Vitamin B5 to help protect and soften. There is also a Moisturizing Facial Wash.
The third and final product I tried was the Hydrating Light Moisturizer. 

It contains Pro-Vitamin B5 and Vitamin E as well as Glycerin and Borage Seed Oil to help moisturize and nourish your skin.
For me, this was an excellent everyday light moisturizer. Nothing irritating, nothing with perfumes. Very pure. I use it on my face and neck after showering and before I go out. It’s great under makeup too and provides a clean base. You can use it anytime. Non-greasy and not thick, it absorbed easily and lasted for most of the day.
They also have a Replenishing Rich Moisturizer for drier skin.
All in all there are 13 products in the line here now.

    oh, no! I got ahead of myself–in my previous comment where I mentioned what appealed to me about the product, I also mentioned that I’d like to try the Facial Wash and (any of the) Moisturizers 😉

    What appeals to me about the Simple products is the variety of products for sensitive skin.

    I would like to try them all but the Hydrating Light Moisturizer I would like to try first. I have such a problem finding moisturizer that does not break my skin out.

    I find it interesting that they are the very well known in the UK and that they have a glossary of the meaning of all the ingredients and terms in their products
