Simple Purifying Facial Wash Review : For Oily, Blemish Prone Skin

Simple Skincare is an extremely affordable brand which makes amazing skincare products suitable for even sensitive skin types.

I have tried many products from this brand. Their moisturising face wash and simple detox ultra light hydrating lotion are some of my favourites which I repurchase again and again.

In today's post I am sharing my experience with Simple Purifying Face Wash.

Coming to the product details-

Packaging-

Texture and consistency-

It has a thick gel like consistency and some gritty beads along with it.

How to use it?

Moisten your face. Take a pea size amount of the face wash. Add some water to it. Work up a gentle lather and apply it in circular motion on your face. Then wash it off with lukewarm or cold water.

My experience with the product-

As I've stated earlier that I've already used some products from this brand and totally loved them. I was pretty excited to use this face wash too. The ingredient list is absolutely perfect and it is free from artificial fragrance too.

The First time I used this face wash I was surprised to feel the gritty texture of it. Actually I was not expecting any granules in this face wash.

I tried to lather it using water but it didn't lather much. After the application of this product on my face, frankly speaking I didn't like the feel on my skin. The face wash was not over drying but something was off about it which I didn't really like.

I have used the ultra light hydrating lotion from this range and I totally love it and recommend it for acne prone skin but this face wash was a bit of a disappointment for me as I've tried much better face washes available at this range to clear out my skin.

Pros-

• Good ingredient list.

• Fragrance free.

• Cruelty free.

• Contains zinc and witch hazel for oily acne prone skin type.

• Makes the skin oil and shine free without over drying it.

• No alcohol.

• No mineral oils.

• No artificial color.

• Easily available.

• Travel friendly.

Cons-

• Even after so many good things about this face wash I just didn't like its feel on my skin.

Will I repurchase it?

No ! There are many other face washes from this brand that I like better.

Hope you found this post helpful.

Take care.
