Speed Review: Simple Hydrating Cleansing Oil



Simple is a brand which really seems to have stood the test of time and when you look at the brand formula, it's perhaps unsurprising. The products are affordable and readily available and pitched as being gentle and "kind to skin".

Today's review is of Simple's Hydrating Cleansing Oil. Regular readers will know that my preferred method of cleansing, particularly in the mornings, is using a cleansing oil. As a general rule, I like cleansing oils because I find them to offer gentle yet effective cleansing, whilst having a balancing effect on my combination, acne prone skin. It's great to see that such an affordable and mainstream brand is now offering a cleansing oil and I hope that this product will introduce many to just how good they are as part of an effective skincare regime.

Simple describe Hydrating Cleansing Oil as being for thoroughly clean and touchably soft skin. It is made with 100% natural grapeseed oil and enriched with Vitamin A & E to dissolve impurities and remove makeup, leaving skin deeply clean and well hydrated. It's described as being a gentle, hydrating, soothing and effective way to cleanse and lift away even waterproof makeup without stripping or irritating the skin.

On first impressions, the packaging reflects the affordable price tag. Whilst it's not my favourite, I was drawn to this product for the reasons mentioned above- my curiosity was certainly peaked! I appreciated being able to see how much product was remaining as well as the functionality of the flip top lid. Whilst in no way appropriate for travel, the packaging did allow for controlled dispensing of the oil.

Simple Hydrating Cleansing Oil is a colourless and unscented oil (unsurprising, given the brand). I'd describe it as having a medium texture for a cleansing oil- it's not overly rich but nor was it noticeably light either. It's inoffensive and again, in line with the branding, would appeal to most people. I feel that this would be a good introduction to cleansing oils.

Inherently for an oil, it lent itself well to facial massage. On contact with water, it turned into a lightweight milk which was easy to rinse away.

I was impressed with this cleansing oil. I feel that it delivers on the claims. I'd had some irritated skin as a result of a product I tested not agreeing with me and this was the perfect "no nonsense" cleanser to gently cleanse my skin. It felt soothing. I was also impressed at how effective this was at makeup removal- whilst I still needed to use a separate eye makeup remover, it did seem more effective than others I've tried.

My only complaint would be the size of the bottle. It almost feels like a "try me" size (again, a good introduction to cleansing oils!) at just 125ml. I'd like to see this offered in a larger size as well, in a similar way to how Garnier present their cleansing water in different sizing options. I feel that the price tag of £6.99 is excessive given the size, despite enjoying the product, but Simple is often on offer so I'd recommend keeping an eye out for deals and giving it a try then.

  1. I like the fact that it contains natural ingredients. Too many products contain harsh chemicals which can be damaging to the skin.
