As part of their clear skin range, Simple has created this Oil Balancing Moisturiser. Its purpose is to eliminate shine while simultaneously hydrating the skin on the face and giving it plenty of nutritional goodness. Simple was one of the very first moisturisers that I ever used and continued to do so for years. It was the only one that was gentle enough on my sensitive skin and which didn't cause any spots at all on my face. I liked the brand because they promise to never include any artificial colours or ingredients and they never include any unnecessary ingredients in their products. The original Simple moisturiser seemed to sit on my skin ...  Read the complete review

I admit I am rather product loyal when it comes to the Simple brand. When my skin started to get oilier a few years ago, I instantly switched from their 'light moisturiser' to the oil balancing one. Usually, you can pick the 75ml tube up for around £3 - £4 in most supermarkets and drug stores. Lately my local Home Bargains has been stocking a few of the Simple products and so I cleared the shelf when I noticed the Oil Balancing moisturiser was only £2! Always worth a look if you have one nearby! My skin is exceptionally oily in the t-zone and chin areas, prone to acne and unreasonably sensitive! To date I have never suffered any adverse effects with any Simple ...  Read the complete review

I bought simple oil balancing moisturiser as part of a 3 for 2 in Boots along with some other products in the simple range hoping it would help the breakouts I have suffering for the past few weeks. unlike the picture on ciao the bottle I have is called simple clear skin oil balancing moisturiser but apparently it is the same product as the one listed but has been brought under the clear skin banner. The tube is white in colour and has blue and green writing on it and although it does look like a simple product it seems to have undergone a mini makeover and now looks a little fresher and more modern. The ingredient list isn't as simple as you ...  Read the complete review

Why I chose this product: As I have said before I have always suffered with oily skin and I can honestly say that this moisturiser is invaluable in my quest for shine free skin. I have used oil free moisturisers in the past but wanted to try one that claimed to balance the oils in my skin. My experience of this product: From the day that I started using this moisturiser I noticed a considerable difference in my skin. When applied, my skin immediately feels more 'matte' than usual and the product provides an excellent base for makeup as well as being great for foundation free days. Another advantage to this moisturiser is that it contains zinc which is meant ...  Read the complete review

I have tried various moisturisers in the past and have found that the Simple range is the best. Currently I use the oil balancing moisturiser as I have spot prone skin and wanted a moisturiser that was not going to aggravate it. I think it does work, my skin stays oil free for much longer when I use this than when I don't use it. It includes the active ingredient Zinc PCA which is supposed to 'gently absorb excess oil' and it has a natural antibacterial which 'helps reduce blemishes'. Also it does not have perfume in it which can sometimes upset sensitive skin. Since I have been using this moisturiser, I have not noticed any dry patches on my face ...  Read the complete review
