Simple Replenishing Rich Moisturizer

**Second update 7-11-26** The ingredients have changed again, so my main review and previous update may no longer be pertinent. I still have a couple bottles of the previous version, so I haven't fully compared this newest version to the old. I did put a little dab on my finger and this newest version seems a little thicker. The smell is different, too, like a very mild "lotion" smell, not fruity like before. However, it still doesn't seem greasy or oily. But being that I have very bad chemical sensitivities, I really cringe when companies change their products, for I don't know if what they added will now cause me issues. One of the new ingredients, sodium hydroxide, does concern me. Sodium hydroxide is also known as lye or caustic soda. In large quantities, it is highly corrosive and toxic, but it is sometimes added in very small amounts to products such as lotions as a PH adjuster. I will try this lotion in full one of these days, and when I do, I will update this review further. Until then, I just wanted to give everyone a heads-up about the change (I uploaded a photo of the new ingredients) and so my previous review may no longer be accurate. *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 still This 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.com The 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.

Tengo piel sensible con tendencia a rosácea y esta crema y su jabón me tienen enamorada! Cambie de productos dermatológicos carísimos a esta marca por que es vegana y no hay sufrimiento animal de por medio y estoy sorprendida lo buena que es. La crema es muy humectante. cuando la pones, se siente pesada pero la piel la absorbe rapidísimo y deja una sensación fresca y sin grasa. Vivo en zona de playa con mucha humedad y esta crema es perfecta. Me ha ayudado muchísimo con mi rosácea y no podría estar más contenta. 200% recomendada!!

Love this moisturizer, I use it for night time and its really light and cooling.

I adore this moisturizer, the price is amazing and phenomenal on my skin. I have sensitive acne prone skin and this moisturizer has been great. It’s light but also moisturizing at the same time. I’ve repurchased multiple times!

Keeps your face very moist and great for sensitive skin
