Radiant Reviews: Simple Skincare


What it is:
Simple, a line of skincare products from the U.K., has come to America. I first spotted them at Target, but I'm pretty sure you can get them at CVS or Walgreens too.

What it does:
Their products are supposedly all natural and contain no soaps, perfumes, or dyes of any kind. It's targeted for people with sensitive skin. It's supposed to make you skin appear "naturally healthy"

What I think:
I picked up a few travel-size items to try out for myself. Here's what I think of each one:
               
 Refreshing face wash gel- very cleansing, sort of like a clarifying shampoo, only for your face. It hasd no scent, but I found that you can't just rinse it off your face, I used a damp washcloth to wipe it off. Still, I liked this product and will be purchasing a larger size.
            
 Liquid eye makeup remover- This, like the face wash, has no scent. It has a thin consistency, and is one solid solution, unlike some makeup removers where you have to shake the two liquids together in order for it to work. It did remove some of my makeup, but not all of it. I think because it lacks some of the oils found in other products similar to it, it's harder for it to break down heavier makeup products like water-proof mascara. This wasn't a very nice product for me, and I will not be repurchasing this item.
Cleansing facial wipes-This is a pack of face wipes, similar in style to the Almay ones, but far different in quality.  These felt very harsh and rough on my skin, even though they're the gentle ones, not the exfoliating ones. It has no scent. They didn't have that much product on each one, even when I stored them upside down. They also had the same effect as the makeup remover. It takes off some makeup, but not all of it. I defenitely will not be repurchasing these products.

I hope this post was helpful and informative for you. I am in no way affilated with Simple Skincare, I just wanted to see if these new products lived up to all the hype about them!
