Simple Hydrating Light Moisturiser: Gentle Daily Hydration for Sensitive Skin 125ml/4.23oz
The odd one out in a hair aisle, and worth having anyway. Simple's Hydrating Light Moisturiser is a face cream, 125 ml, made for skin that reacts to fragrance and dye. The formula is deliberately short. Pro-vitamin B5 and vitamin E do the work, and the list leaves out artificial perfume, colour and the harsher additives that usually cause the trouble. It is light rather than rich, absorbs quickly, and does not sit on the skin as a film, so it will not block pores under makeup or sunscreen. Simple rate the hydration at twelve hours, which in practice means a morning application still holds up by evening.
Sensitive skin is the obvious fit, but normal, dry, oily and combination skin all get on with it, which is why the tube has been a fixture in British bathrooms for decades. Use it morning and night on clean skin.

Application tips
Morning and night, on a face just cleansed and still slightly damp, which helps it spread thinly. Half a pump covers everything, a full one if the skin is very dry.
Warm it between the fingertips, press it over cheeks and forehead rather than rubbing it in, and carry it down the neck. Give it a minute to settle before SPF or makeup goes on top.
Results
Skin feels comfortable rather than coated, and the tight feeling that follows cleansing goes within seconds. It sinks in fast enough to sit under makeup without pilling or leaving a sheen.
Hydration holds through the working day, so cheeks do not turn papery by mid-afternoon. There is no scent to it, which keeps it quiet on skin that reacts to most things.
