Simple Vital Vitamin Night Cream

Simple products are claimed to be suitable for people with sensitive skin since they are free from any harsh chemicals/additives/perfume..etc. I cannot prove that since I don't have sensitive skin, but their products certainly have never irritated me nor did I notice any fragrance. This night cream is quite light in consistency compared to other night creams I used before, but not as running as a lotion. It is more like a gel-cream texture. It does not leave an oily feeling but my face doesn't feel dry/tight the next morning. Suitable for use all year round in HK, but it's a bit not enough for winter in the UK especially with the heating on. Since this product is not that oily compared to other night creams in the market, it did not break me out nor block my pores. 

Overall quite a decent product and I DO recommend this product even if you have oily skin. Not to mention, Simple products are always very affordable. 

Nivea Visage Regenerating Night Cream

I found myself always go back to this and I have already gone through quite a few jars of this product in  my pass few years. However, when I reach for this winter, I found myself breaking-out a lot after using this cream for about two / three nights. I was really shocked and I have never had this problem before. I sat and thought about what was the problem and 'click!', OH YES... I did move to a different country. I used to use this product a lot when I was studying in the UK and this winter was the first time I reached for this product after I moved back to HK. I liked using this in the winter in the UK because this cream is as thick as if it's a block of butter (yeah, like body butters), not only very hydrating for use in the dry cold winter (with heating on), the oil in this product also prevents my face from loosing moisture. Yes, there is a slight oily layer after applying but acceptable and it's just the right amount to lock up the moisture without making myself look like a disco ball (back to those days when I was in the UK). It smells really nice, too! You only need a small amount, easily spreaded and quickly absorbed!

However, it's a complete different story when I reached for this in the winter in HK :(Even if I only use the tiniest amount, it took me forever absorbing this cream and made me looked like a disco ball... AND... blocked my pores very badly causing me acnes after two / three days of usage.

I DO recommend this if you are living in a country that's more cold and dry than HK, or somewhere you have heating on all the time that tends to draw the moisture out of your skin. 

I used to like the other products of this line like the oil-free moisturiser and the eye cream, but I don't think I can use any of these while I am staying in HK...:(
