Does the job for less $
I bought this moisturizer when a move to California left my face looking its age for the first time in my life. The Arnica-infused Olive Oil I've been using for years was protecting my skin as a barrier, but not adding any hydration, and the drier climate forced a change. I was looking for something without synthetic fragrance, heavy oils, or a high price tag. Simple's Hydrating Gel Cream fit the bill, and I was curious about how a gel might feel. After a week of use I have noticed a few small spots which don't stay long, but my décolletage did produce some worrying pimples. I'm not ready to throw it out yet, because there are other factors to eliminate before passing judgement. My face is perceptively brighter and the skin under my eyes (main problem area) is improving. A little goes a long ways - so no need to fret over a mere 1.7oz. The gel does take a few moments to absorb, and I generally give it a few more minutes to sink in before I am able to apply a mineral sunscreen in the morning without "pilling." Also, I get a subtlely warm sensation on my face after having exfoliated - but there is no accompanying redness or lasting irritation - probably some of the fillers having a mild reaction on the surface. So far I'm willing to continue using this product because I think it's a good value for the price. Not sure I'd stick with it if I found something better though.
