Clear Your Skin I came across this product last weekend when my daughter and I were doing some shopping in town. I am a fan of skin products as we all know when you get to a certain age things don’t seem to be as perfect as they used to be. My skin is always usually pretty good but I still used toners and face masks when I can to give my skin a little helping hand. I don’t often wear make up either which helps my skin to look more natural, I only wear abit if I am going to a special occasions and even that is a very little amount. My daughter also likes all these products and as she uses a lot more make up than I do she does buy a lot of facial scrubs and toners. As we browsed through Boots on Saturday we came across this scrub from Simple. I am a fan of the company and have tried many other products of theirs before so thought that this wouldn’t be disappointing. As my daughter has slightly sensitive skin she picked up this as it clearly said on the tube that it is perfect for even sensitive skin and has no harsh chemicals. After we got back from shopping, we both tried the product and were not disappointed by the reputation Simple has for its products. Simple

Their tagline which is used everywhere is- ‘We believe in Goodness’.
The Simple Company was founded in 2000 so they are quite new compared to other leading brands but they follow the theme of natural beauty and goodness which I think is a very catchy theme.
The Product
Looks and First Impression
When we found the tube on the shelf I was attracted by the bright colour of it. The bottle or tube is a kind of sea blue colour which goes with the natural good ness theme and it made me pick it up out of all the other facial scrubs on the shelf. It comes in a 75ml tube which is in the flexible plastic so it is easy to squeeze out like many of their products. The company Simple logo is found on the front in slightly bold letters and is clear and easy to read which is good for those who already are familiar with the company to find their range. There is not too much information on the front so it is not bombarding you with too much at once. I liked what it did include on the front though, the clear writing of- ‘Oil Balancing facial Scrub’ gives you a simple and clear description of what it is. There is also an ingredient name included at the top of the tube which is helpful in making people choose the product and promote their natural awareness. ‘Witch Hazel Goodness, for healthy clear skin’, this to me sounds refreshing, healthy and natural, as Hazel is very good for you. Although I do not suffer with blackheads for those that do the tube offers another method to pull you in which is that they have a fact at the top saying that – ‘64% less blackheads in 7 days? I know this would be an ideal advantage to many teens and others who need to get rid of blackheads.
When I turned the tube over it had a few more reasons why you should buy the product. Promoting the goodness of natural health it clearly states that it includes Witch Hazel which I said previously is good for the skin and blemishes and it has a list of all the vitamins included which really helped me decided that this was a good product. Using the Product
That evening when my daughter and I tried some we were very impressed. As I squeezed out some of the product I instantly felt how cold and soothing it was on my hands. The liquid is silky and creamy and when I applied this to my face you feel an instant cooling on your skin. Has the product has no harsh chemicals it was very gentle and calming. The product is easily rinsed off with some cool water and I instantly felt that my skin was fresh and clean.
As mentioned on the back of the product it explains what some of the ingredients can do for the skin. The product contains natural Zinc which absorbs all the excess oil on the skin. The witch hazel helps reduce all of those blemishes and the rice powder which sounds odd I know, is the part that helps with the soothing and makes your skin feel soft and fresh.
Why Choose Oil Cleansing?
Oil cleansing provides you with clear, refreshing skin and helps fight against blackheads, blemishes, cysts and pimples. Washing away the dead cells and oil from the skin brings up the natural new clean skin and keeps those nasty spots away. The oil method is a great way to go and this product does not take away all of your oil as some products do. This product balances the oil levels so keeps the healthy oil needed and gets rid of the excess you don’t need. Results
Both my daughter and I were very impressed and happy with this product. After using this, every day for two weeks my skins feels much cleaner and softer. My daughter says it is brilliant for cleaning dirt and removing any make up left on your skin. It leaves your face feeling soft, glowing and healthy and I would defiantly recommend this product to everyone even those who do not get blackheads like me. The product does more than that and it can just help you keep your skin in a tip top condition. I generally use this at night time before I go to bed to remove the dirt from the day.
Other similar products
Simple do a whole range of these products which can be found on their own website and I also had a look at the range on the Boots website. The Exfoliating Was comes in a 150ml tube and also does the same as this if you wanted another product to go with this one. Availability
As mentioned before Simple products are one of the UK’s leading brands so they are very accessible in local shops and supermarkets. I brought the 75ml tube in Boots for £3.75, but you can find it on the Simple website found at the bottom of this page and super markets such as Tesco’s and Asda.

Advantages: Leaves skin looking and feeling good and reduces blackheads Disadvantages: None
I’ve been using the Simple range cleanser and toner for a while now and I needed some new eye make up remover and a face wash and so thought I’d get the same brand to complement each other. I went to Boots and they had a 3 for 2 offer on the Simple range and I saw this clear skin oil balancing scrub and thought I’d get that as well as I could do with a new scrub.

Advantages: Very effective, reasonably priced, good brand Disadvantages: Some people might like skincare with a fragrance
Simple range of facial care offers a reasonably priced skin care collection that really works. I like the Simple range as it is kind to the skin and doesn't irritate my sensitive skin. I have found it difficult to find a skin care range that looks after your skin as well as Simple does. I have every trust in this brand and rely on them to deliver quality every time.
Simple range use no perfumes or colours which is ideal if you have sensitive skin. ... ...women's perfume (no offense intended) Simple also make skin care products for men.
Simple Clear Skin Oil Balancing Facial Scrub comes in various sizes. The size I bought was the 75ml tube. It is very handy because it just sits on it's lid making it simple to pour the lotion out. I hate it when you know that you have some product left in the bottom of a tub and cannot get the rest out. It's like trying to get the rest out of a bottle of tomato sauce ...

The ‘Simple’ Company
Simple has been around now for almost fifty years and has the proud claim that they produced the first perfume and colour free soap to be recommended by doctors for people with sensitive skin. Their tag line “We believe in goodness” runs true through all their products which are free from harsh chemicals and added colours and perfumes.
Why Exfoliate
Exfoliation is the removal of dead skin cells on the skin's outermost surface, ... ...The pale blue colour with simple wispy lines along the front conveys images of purity and cleansing that are very eye-catching when on the shelf.
Does it work?
A statement on the tube claims “64% less blackheads in 7 days”. I guess that is a little hard to test, but after 2 weeks of using the cream I was pleasantly surprised to find the results were noticeable. I have always been quite lucky in that I don’t really suffer from spots, but I do have ...
