I have been using this face sunscreen moisturizer for years now and when I went to repurchase, I noticed I can only find it online. When my order arrived today, I noticed that my new bottle is already about to expire. I would really hate for it to be discontinued because this is the only light facial suncreen that has actually ever worked for my oily skin and it does not sting my eyes.

I didn't like the moisturizer. It broke me out in hives all over my face and also made my throat start to close up. I had to put a benadryl cream all over my face to help the itchiness and pain.

I used to love this product. Used it for years on my face, neck, chest and even arms because it was so gentle. But they changed something and now this seriously irritates my skin. I threw the bottle out and will no longer be using.

CE - 2 years ago, Verified purchaser
My super-sensitive skin loves this stuff, and I love that it has a little bit of SPF for added protection. It feels wonderful and light going on, and I reach for it year-round (supplementing with a higher SPF on top). Highly recommend it and I pray they never stop making it!

I had used the old formula for years because it was so gentle on my sensitive skin. I didn't even know they had reformulated, but noticed that the new bottle I bought smelled and felt very different. Unfortunately, my skin does not like this new formula. It burned and made my skin red. I guess it's time to search for something new :(

New Formula - It Sucks!

Sara - 2 years ago, Verified purchaser
I, like all the other recent reviews, have used this moisturizer for years and it was my go-to! I have oily skin and break out easily to products. This was my tried and true. I’m extremely sad to say that the formula has changed for the worse. My skin feels like it has a layer of oil on it after wearing it for a couple of hours and I have noticed an increase in zits. Bring back the old! The new product sucks. I’m now on a hunt for a new moisturizer and will not be purchasing this product anymore.

simple’s replenishing moisturizer is the only moisturizer i have ever used that does not give me a rash. (i have extremely dry and sensitive skin) as we are moving into the summer time, i was hoping to find a moisturizer with spf and thought maybe this one would work well. sadly, this one didn’t cut it for me. it irritates my skin and leaves oily patches and dry patches around my nose and chin. it’s just kind of a mess. if you’re looking for a good spf, target sells cocokind’s sunscreen which works great.

I love this brand period. I have tried aveeno, cetaphill, lush products, cerave, Neutrogena, olay...the list goes on and nothing ever works for me. I have dry yet extremely sensitive skin. The only two things I use are simple hydrating cleanser and this moisturizer. I have been using it for a few months now and my skin has never looked better. My acne cleared up so quickly and my skin is super soft and clean.
