Q: Has this been reformulated? The new bottle (green leaves) ingredients do not match with my previous bottles (green circle)- lower amounts of beneficial ingredients?
submitted by Niteshades - 3 years ago
A:Â Yes, unfortunately, the beneficial ingredients are now lower in the list, and the plant antioxidant is now LAST (chamomilla recutita (matricaria) flower extract) instead of higher up. So bummed, as this was my go-to as a cleanser and also beneficial leave on. I switched to CeraVe, which has ceramides and niacinamide higher in the list.

Q: Is there an expiration or "use by" date for Simple Micellar Cleanser? I just found an opened bottle that got shuttled to the back of a linen closet shelf, but there's no info about dates.
submitted by balooga - 2 months ago
A:Â Hi there - all products will have a production code printed on the back or bottom of each container such as: MMDDY/Plant code using a 2-digit month, 2-digit day, and last digit of the year (Ex. 04270PP01 = April 27, 2020). Please note this is the date of production, and not an expiration date. Generally, our products have a shelf life of three years from this date when stored at room temperature. We hope this info is helpful!

Q: I just purchased this product. I have to say at this time I am not a fan so maybe I am not using it correctly. Do you also use a face soap with this or do you just use a cotton ball and cleanse the face with this?
submitted by barb - 3 years ago
A:Â That is a great question! Our Simple Unscented Micellar Cleansing Water is our most advanced facial cleanser to date, yet it is gentle on even the most sensitive skin. We recommend following the directions listed on the product by appling a generous amount of product to a cotton pad. The wipe the cotton pad all around the face. Gently wipe around closed eyes, avoid getting into your eyes, no need to rinse after. For any additional support please feel free to contact us at consumer.services@unilever.com. Thanks!

I've used this product for years and loved it, but my last bottle something had changed. I noticed my skin started to burn less than a minute after using it, and when I looked in the mirror I saw that I was already breaking out in a rash from it. I don't know what they did different, but I had to throw out the whole bottle. No more.

I’m so disappointed after using simple for many years to find the formula for the micellar water is completely changed. The liquid is not clear and looks dirty and the feel of the product on the skin is not refreshing at all. Now I need to find a new micellar water and need to check my other simple products when I buy new ones to see if they are different Why would you change a product meant for sensitive skin so dramatically?

This micellar cleansing water works just as good as the garnier ones and is way cheaper!!! I will say it takes a bit of time to remove mascara with this and i do prefer garnier pink bottle of micellar water but this product is so affordable and worth the price and has never made me break out!!!
Horrible reformulation!

MC40 - 9 months ago

I'm so upset with the reformulation. It burned my skin so badly and was so painful. Skin was inflamed for hours after using. @Simple- why would you reformulate a wonderful and trusted product for sensitive skin and add a bunch of new chemicals without disclosing that? I now have tiny visible blood vessels that I can see under my skin from using this new product, it has ruined my skin in a very short amount of time. Will never buy again unless you bring back the old formulation. This product is no longer kind or gentle, it's full of harsh chemicals. You should at least change your label and warn people of what you've done, and remove the part that says "kind to skin." So very disappointed in your company for this move.

I've used this for years and loved it so much. It was part of my daily routine and did everything my sensitive skin needed it to do. This new formulation is terrible and I will not be using it again. It has an added murky color and fragrance to it but most of all it irritates my sensitive skin. Please bring back the original formula! There are tons of reviews from others that are experiencing the same issues of irritating my skin and making it really red.

I suffer from rosacea and have found the tap water to be too drying and irritating for my condition. I use topical prescriptions morning and evening so need to cleanse twice a day while avoiding hard tap water. I love that unlike bioderma sensibo, this is even more hydrating to the skin with glycerin and panthenol. I’ve already noticed my condition improving! I like this formula the best with only 12 ingredients and two of those being for hydration. Less is more! Please keep this formula!

Burning my face? My entire face is red after using it. NOT FOR SENSITIVE SKIN. I wouldn’t even consider my skin sensitive, so if you do have sensitive skin, do not use this. I tried multiple times, each time moisturizing first just in case. I look like a tomato
