Moisturizer Review: Simple Replenishing Rich Moisturizer

Anyone who has combination skin knows that it is hard to find skincare products that address the both dryness and oiliness effectively. The hardest product to find is a good moisturizer. Moisturizers either don’t provide enough moisture to my dry areas or too much for the oily parts of my face. As a result, I mainly moisturize in the fall and winter and only during the evening for spring and summer. So when I received a sample of Simple Replenishing Rich Moisturizer, I decided to put it to the test.

Product Claims

The Simple Skincare website and the product packaging have slightly different effectiveness statements. Here is what the product page on their website:

Our Replenishing Rich Moisturizer leaves your skin replenished and nourished all day long, plus it’s a perfect blend of our purest possible skin loving ingredients with an added vitamin.

The added vitamin is Pro Vitamin B5. The “all day long” claim is based off of the packaging and bottle claim that the moisturizer keeps skin hydrated for 12 hours.

Simply Put to the Test

My first test of the moisturizer came at bedtime. With the label saying “rich moisturizer” I was expecting a thick cream to come out of the bottle. To my surprise and delight the formula is rather light in texture. Applied it to my face and neck. The moisturizer absorbs quickly into the skin. My skin did not feel greasy but smooth and soft.

The next morning I used it after cleaning my face with the Simple Cleansing Facial Wipes. I had not plans on going out so typically I would not use a moisturizer but since I was testing the product I made an exception. Same results with the quick absorption and smooth soft skin. It lasted for most of the day.
