BEAUTY: SIMPLE VITAL VITAMIN DAY CREAM MOISTURISER

For those of you who know me (and are familiar with my skincare collection), you'll know that I am obsessed with Simple Skincare. I've got facial wipes, exfoliating wipes, face wash, brightening cream and facial wash gel, but my favourite of the bunch at the moment is the Simple Vital Vitamin Day Cream. This one is my third pot and I am completely in love.

Regular readers of this blog will know that I have really sensitive skin (I have rosacea) and there was a time that I was told by doctors to use aqueous cream only and nothing else - no makeup or anything - for two weeks. The aqueous cream helped a bunch but after 6 months or so of using it I wanted to move back on to 'normal' moisturiser. I knew I couldn't go back to the one I was using before as I'm pretty sure it wasn't helping my skin at all, if not making it worse. I chose Simple because I knew the brand was known for sensitive skin and knew that the moisturiser would contain very little ingredients that may harm my skin. So I gave it a go and 3 pots later, here we are.

THE GOOD BITS.
One of the main things I love about this cream is the texture. I know it sounds cliché - and doesn't really give any information about it at all - but it's not too thick nor too thin. Basically, it's not thick enough to make my face feel heavy and clogged up, but it's not that thin that it feels like I have nothing on there. It dries pretty quickly but does leave moisture to the skin for quite some time. I don't have particularly greasy skin - I mean, it has it's days but usually it's not too bad - and this moisturiser doesn't make me look greasy, but that's probably to do with it drying quite quickly.

You can tell how innocent and simple the cream is just by the smell alone. There's no fake, perfume-y smell or flowery scent, but at times it can smell quite 'clinical', however I think that is mostly when it's in the tub. When I'm applying it to my face, it usually smells quite fresh and natural.

THE BAD BITS.
The only thing that I'm not over the mood with is how small the pot is. When you get the pot out of the box, it seems quite big but when you take the lid off you can see that it's not as big as it seems - but I guess most moisturisers are the same. I've noticed that it takes me just under 3 months to use each tub - I admit, it's not that bad, but I had to think of something negative and if I could change anything, it would be the size of the pot!

Make sure you let me know what your opinions are of this cream. Also let me know what moisturisers you use!
