With me living right next to a very busy Main Road, one of the first products that I apply in my Morning Skincare Routine is always some kind of a Vitamin C Serum to hopefully try and fight all of the Pollution and Free Radicals that are in the Air. Unfortunately though, Vitamin C Serums aren’t that cheap, well not if you want one with a high enough of a percentage to actually do anything worthwhile. That’s why when I saw that Simple had released a Glow+ Vitamin C + E + F Serum that claims to contain a blend of 10% Vitamin C, E and F to leave you with hydrated, protected and glowing-looking Skin whilst I was scrolling through Superdrug’s Website a couple of weeks ago, I obviously had to pick it up. Well i’ve been using it for a little while now, and I thought that I would tell you what I thought of it.

How to use.

It’s scent.
I wasn’t really a massive fan of it’s scent, as even though it contained Water, Hemp Oil, Propanediol, Polyglyceryl-6 Distearate, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Glycerin, Tocopheryl Acetate, Tapioca Starch, Caprylyl Glycol, Sclerotium Gum, Cetearyl Alcohol, Phenoxyethanol, Polyglyceryl-10 Stearate, Sodium metabisulfite, Citric Acid, Sodium Hydroxide, Pentaerythrityl, Tetra-di-t-butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate, and Dilauryl Thiodipropionate, I thought that it had a very strange deep and metallic yet ever so slightly nutty Hemp scent to it that kind of reminded me of if someone had dropped a few drops of Hemp Oil into a massive Bucket of some mouldy Rainwater.
It’s consistency.
I really liked it’s consistency, as even though it was called a Facial Serum, I thought that it felt incredibly thin and watery yet ever so slightly oily, and was more like an incredibly thin and watery yet ever so slightly oily Toner rather than a thin and watery yet ever so slightly gelatinous Facial Serum.
What it did when I used it.
I really liked what this did when I used it, as once I had started to massage a little bit of it into my Skin, it turned from an incredibly thin and watery yet ever so slightly oily Toner into a thin and watery yet ever so slightly milky Facial Serum that sank into my Skin within a matter of seconds.
It’s results.
I really liked it’s results, as not only did this leave my Skin feeling incredibly silky soft, smooth, soothed, protected, plump, bouncy and intensely hydrated, but it also left it looking extremely glowing, radiant, a little bit brighter and much healthier for hours after I had used it. I also really liked that it didn’t manage to irritate the Patches of Eczema that I get underneath my Eyes.
It’s packaging.
I really liked it’s packaging, as this came in a short cylindrical Glass Bottle with a Rubber Pipette Lid that looked beautiful sat on my Beauty Shelves.
My overall thoughts.
Overall I would have to rate the Simple Glow+ 10% Vitamin C + E + F Serum an eight point five out of ten. I absolutely loved it’s incredibly thin and watery yet ever so slightly oily consistency, what it did when I used it, it’s results, and it’s packaging, but I just wasn’t a massive fan of it’s very strange deep and metallic yet ever so slightly nutty Hemp scent. I also wish that it had contained a much higher percentage of Vitamin C to leave my Skin looking even brighter.

I haven’t tried anything Vitamin C related. It something I wish I could try, but my skin is super sensitive.
