Kind to Skin Hydrating Light Moisturiser

Our Take

Underneath the niacinamide and pro-vitamin B5 on the front, this is a plain, well-made lotion: glycerin and mineral oil do almost all the work, with dimethicone for slip and no fragrance, colour or essential oils — which is exactly why it suits reactive skin. The headline actives are far more modest than the packaging suggests: niacinamide is stated at 1%, below the 2–5% used in the studies usually cited for it, and everything listed after it — panthenol, vitamin E, borage seed oil, urea, bisabolol — is present at 1% or less. We'd take issue with Simple's own website calling it an “oil free” moisturiser when mineral oil is the third ingredient, and with the listing's “no allergens” line when bisabolol, though gentle for most, is a documented if uncommon allergen. Two versions are also in circulation — the newer pack adds ginger root extract — so the bottle you receive may not match Amazon's photos exactly. At an MRP of ₹499 for 125 ml, about ₹4 a ml, it is among the best-value face moisturisers we have reviewed and a sensible fragrance-free daily lotion, as long as you buy it for what it is rather than for the actives on the label.

What buyers report

Recent Amazon reviews mostly describe a very light lotion that absorbs quickly without a greasy film, with buyers who have oily or sensitive skin the most pleased. Complaints are one-offs: no oil control, a bottle that is hard to squeeze, and watery eyes when used near them. Several say it does not irritate, which fits its fragrance-free formula.
