I tried Simpla 360 as a facial serum with niacinamide and hyaluronic acid because my combination skin was dry on the cheeks while my forehead and nose quickly became shiny. Most of all, I wanted to get rid of this dull, slightly tight skin appearance in the morning.
The serum arrived in a small bottle with a dropper. It was clear and contained tiny microcapsules that I could feel briefly when applying. I used it for six weeks, morning and evening, after cleansing. Usually, I used four drops: two for the cheeks and one each for the forehead and chin. I initially forgot my neck but included it later.
The application was easy but not entirely perfect. The dropper was handy, but sometimes a drop would stick to the edge. This bothered me more in the morning in front of the mirror than I expected. I applied the serum with my fingertips and waited about a minute before applying my day cream. In the morning, I also applied sunscreen afterward.
The scent was barely noticeable to me. I really liked that. I don’t need a perfume smell on my face. Simpla 360 absorbed quickly and left no greasy film. Right after application, my cheeks felt smooth, almost as if they had just received water.
In the first week, I hardly noticed any visible changes. I only realized that my skin was a bit less dry. Honestly, there wasn’t much more to say. On two evenings, I felt a slight sting next to my nostrils. It lasted maybe a minute and disappeared without redness. Still, I initially applied a bit less serum there because I didn’t want to risk irritated skin.
From the second week on, the effect became clearer to me. My skin looked calmer under makeup, and the dry patches on my cheeks didn’t flake as quickly. My forehead, however, still shone by midday. So, the serum didn’t completely balance my combination skin, but the dry areas looked more cared for.
In the third week, my complexion appeared a bit more even in the morning. Not perfectly smooth, but rather less tired. The fine lines under my eyes looked a bit less noticeable on good days because the skin there appeared less dry. The product didn’t change deep wrinkles for me, and I didn’t expect it to.
After six weeks, my skin on the cheeks felt noticeably softer. If I went ten minutes without applying care after showering, it felt significantly less tight than before. The small dryness lines next to my eyes were still there but less noticeable when I smiled. My dark circles remained. The serum also didn’t resolve any puffiness in the morning.
The microcapsules were the strangest part for me. When applying, they initially felt like very fine sand. They dissolved when spread, but if I was in a hurry, sometimes a small grain would remain at my hairline. It wasn’t dramatic, just a bit unnecessary.
- With too much serum, my skin felt slightly tight for a few minutes.
- It stung briefly on freshly popped blemishes.
- The dropper needed to stay clean because a sticky edge formed quickly at the bottle neck.
I would recommend Simpla 360 more to people with normal, dry, or slightly dehydrated combination skin rather than to those expecting a strong effect against deep wrinkles. It worked well for me under day cream and makeup without pilling. Anyone with very sensitive skin or reactions to specific ingredients should test it cautiously on a small area first. With a known skin condition, I would have the ingredients checked by a doctor beforehand.
Would I buy it again? Probably yes, but not as the only product for all skin issues. Simpla 360 didn’t transform my skin, but it reliably provided moisture over six weeks and slightly reduced the dry, tired appearance. I wouldn’t rely on it for severe puffiness, dark circles, or pronounced wrinkles. For me, it was a pleasant moisturizing serum with minor flaws that made dry areas look visibly friendlier.
