Simple Spotless Skin Range Review
If you follow my blog then you will know that I love the Simple range! I featured the Simple Spotless Skin Anti-Blemish moisturiser in my October Favourites and I promised a product review along with the Simple Spotless Skin Quick Fix Cleansing Wipes. I bought these products on a whim at my local Superdrug. I had some pennies to spare and I must admit, I love trying new skin care products. I bought the moisturiser because the cold air has well and truly creeped in and it's always a sensible idea to get a moisturiser for the A/W months. I decided to get the wipes because I've used the regular Simple Cleansing Wipes for years and thought that if these wipes would truly make my skin 'Spotless' then why not give them a try. They contain Zinc and Chamomile and are advertised as having 2-4 spot fighting ingredients and 1 natural antibacterial ingredient along with their usual no perfumes or colours.
The Wipes
When I first opened the Cleansing Wipes I noticed that they have quite a strong smell which surprised me because the Simple brand have always said that they use no perfumes so I just put it down to being a natural perfume from the spot fighting ingredients. Sadly, I don't think these wipes helped with my skin at all, if anything they made it worse. I know that you have to give new skin care products enough time to work, as you skin has to get used to the new ingredients in the products but I've been using these wipes for a month and I haven't seen any benefits. I don't think I would repurchase these, I'll stick my good old regular Simple wipes. On a plus, I always found that the wipes never dried out as long as I kept the lid closed fully.
The Moisturiser
Although the wipes didn't work out for me, I love this moisturiser. It hasn't got any harsh smell and leaves my skin feeling super smooth. I apply it before I got to sleep and in the morning before applying my make up. My only grievance is that it takes a while to soak into my skin in the mornings which can be time consuming when I'm in a rush. Although I love this cream, I don't think I will be repurchasing this either just because I love buying and trying new moisturisers.
Now that I've used up all my wipes I'm going to continue using the moisturiser on its own to see if it works as an anti-blemish moisturiser. I will do an update post on this moisturiser at the end of the month to let you all know.
