As a brand, I like Simple. Normally it’s their bath and shower products I buy on repeat e.g Moisturising Bath Soak, Sensitive Bath Soak and Soaps. But I did use their face washes a few years ago, until I bought alternatives when the price crept up. Noticing their Soothing Water Cream sold in Home Bargains for only £1.29, I thought it was the perfect time to try out one of their facial moisturisers for such a bargain price. So how good is this Simple moisturiser?
What does this cream do?
This moisturiser is designed to help maintain the the skin’s moisture barrier, keeping it hydrated, soothed and fresh. With no added colours and perfume, this product should be gentle and could be suitable for those with a more sensitive skin.
Packaging
50ml of cream comes in a simple white plastic pot with green detailing. This is mirrored with the box this comes in, giving it a look of being a more ‘natural’, wholesome product.
Consistency & texture
This looks like a cream but felt like it was part cream part gel. It has a lovely, light consistency to it. Silky smooth, white (of course, no colour!) and has a slight slip to it.
On the skin
I thought this cream would be too light on my skin because of it’s texture, but I was wrong! I found it was very soothing and slightly cooling on the skin, light weight but felt very protective. My skin felt nourished and not dry at all, in fact, very comforted. And to look at my skin it looked hydrated, almost dewy, not greasy or shiny.
This cream surprised me massively! It delivered exactly what it promised to give and I actually enjoyed using it, which is important to me when using skincare.

This is such a good cream! The texture of this is beautiful. It sinks into the skin moisturising and protecting it. Great for those who like lighter textures, especially during warmer seasons, but still want maximum hydration. But those who like thicker consistencies don’t discount this, it’s surprisingly rich!
This product usually retails for up to £10.00 (if not on a special price promotion). So for £1.29 in Home Bargains? I need to go and stock up on MORE!
