So I popped into my local Superdrug to pick up some of my old faithful face items, which for a while now have been from the
Simple range as I have very very sensitive skin and always seem to end up having a reaction to other brands. But I love this brand and it has kept my skin in good condition and I haven't had any reactions to it *knock on wood*
So like I said I picked up some old favourites and some new loves. Superdrug was having a 3 for 2 mix and match on all skin care items in the store and
online so I thought I would take full advantage of this and pick up some new items that were in store, that I haven't given much attention before.
Usual Skincare items:
Eye Make up Remover - £1.23
"Effectively removes even waterproof mascara. 100% Oil Free. Experts in sensitive skin. No perfume, no colour."
I love this eye make up remover, it doesn't sting if it gets in my eye and removes ALL my eye make up even my waterproof mascara, I love it, I cant fault the product.
Simple Purifying Cleansing Lotion - £3.05
"Powerful yet gentle, like a wrestler in love, this creamy concoction is the perfect way to cleanse thoroughly. Pro-Vitamin B5 helps to restore and soften your skin, while added moisturisers help improve its condition."
I like this cleanser a lot. My skin feels so nice after I've use it and I think it cleanse my skin quite well.
Simple Soothing Toner - £2.91
"Simple products are 100% perfume and colour free with no unnecessary additives, and have active ingredients selected to care for the needs of even sensitive skin. For the perfect finish to your cleansing routine use our Soothing Toner to remove the last traces of make-up and cleanser. Alcohol free and pH balanced it refreshes your skin without drying. With Witch Hazel and Chamomile it will help soothe and improve your skin's condition. Soothes * Clarifies * Refreshes"
This product does what it says on the tin (well bottle in this case haha) it is such a good toner, I have not a bad word to say. What I most like about this toner is that after using it my face doesn't feel all tight, dry and tingly, it just feels refreshed.
Moisturising Foaming Face Wash - £3.05
"Foaming face wash helps keep skin soft and supple. It is soap free and pH balanced. The creamy foam gently cleanses, moisturises and improves skin condition."
This is a very, very good face wash and leaves my skin feeling so lovely afterwards, my skin looks so fresh and glowy after rinsing. Love this stuff.
Cleansing Wipes - £3.01
"Simple products are 100% perfume & colour free with no unnecessary additives to care for the needs of your sensitive skin. Simple Facial Cleansing Wipes thoroughly & gently cleanses, tones & freshens your skin without drying. It removes all make-up & impurities including eye make-up. With added moisturises to leave your skin feeling soft & smooth."
Unlike other face wipes I have used these do not make my skin feel dry or tingly because the ingredients are just so abrasive, these are so good at removing my make up. I use these to get the brunt/bulk of my make up off and then proceed with my a face routine.
Cotton wool - 2 for £2.50 - didn't really need up close shots of these, we all know what cotton wool rounds look like and what they do haha ;-P
NEW PRODUCTS:
Vital Vitamin Day Cream - £5.06
This is lovely and moisturising, I don't find my face feeling dry during the day, it say it lasts for 12 hours and that it does, its a wonderful project.
Vital Vitamin Night Cream - £5.06
This like the Day cream is wonderful and keeps my skin so moisturised.
Deep Cleansing Facial Mask - £3.67
"Revive your skin with out Deep Cleansing Facial Mask to give it a regular detox. Natural Clay draws out deep down dirt, grease and make-up and Seaweed Extract helps to cleanse and condition without drying, leaving your skin visibly brighter."
I haven't used this product yet, as I have been ill I could only muster up the energy to cleanse, tone, moisturise, eye cream and lip therapy, and that's because this routine could be done from the comfort of my own bed, but I doubt it will disappoint.
Smoothing Cleansing Scrub - £4.07
"Our Smoothing Facial Scrub is a perfect blend of active ingredients and vitamin goodness to remove dead skin cells and keep your skin brighter and more even textured. Perfect for even sensitive skin."
Just like the face mask I haven't used this yet, for the reasons stated above but again I do not feel it will disappoint.
Eye Balm - £3.73
"Our Soothing Eye Balm is a perfect blend of active ingredients and multi-vitamin goodness to reduce puffiness and refresh tired eyes. Perfect for even sensitive skin. "
My bags aren't looking as intense as they have been, I definitely feel that this is a good product for my eyes, also its not harsh at all, so...YAY :-D
Vaseline Lip Therapy with Cocoa Butter - £1.93
I bought this a few days before I bought my skincare items but definitely wanted to include it in this post as I am in love with this and it has now become part of my skin care routine. I purchased this at
Boots.
My current skincare routine:
Morning:
- Cleanser
- Toner
- Moisturiser
- Eye cream
- Vaseline lip therapy
Night:
- Face wash
- Moisturiser
- Eye cream
- Vaseline lip therapy
Once a week:

If anyone out there that has sensitive/very sensitive skin or doesn't really like perfumed products this is the brand for you. I would recommend these products 100% I LOVE them :)
All these products were bought over a week ago and for 2 weeks I have been on break from college so we will have to see how these products hold up once I start my early morning travel on London's public transport.
I hope you enjoyed this post, even though it was kind of long haha and I hope it was helpful.
