How to use
General guidance from this product's category and active ingredients — always follow the directions on the package.
Trust & honesty
The concentrations these actives are typically effective at in research — not a measurement of this product.
OTC leave-on AHAs are usually 5–10%. The effect also depends on pH and free-acid value, not the percentage alone.
Lactic Acid
INCI lists don't disclose amounts, and we don't claim to know this product's levels — these are the ranges these ingredients are usually effective at, so you can tell a real formula from "fairy-dusting" a marketed active. How we estimate this.

I have the most annoying sensitive skin and this is one of the only products I 100% trust - it feels amazing and super effective when you cleanse with it and leaves your skin clear after!! This product makes my skin super smooth and destroys closed comedones as it is mildly chemically exfoliating - it leaves a lovely clean canvas to layer on other products and I therefore haven't felt the need to purchase an additional toner. I also recently started lactic acid 10% once every few days and it ...
I have combination skin. Over cleansing using facial soap made my cheeks area dry, skin peeling, itchy and hot Immediately bought this with face wash + Simple water boost gel to help me with my problem. Its very hydrating and gentle on my angry skin. I skip the morning cleansing, using only water with Simple hydrating booster gel. Using Simple Micellar facial gel wash + Simple hydrating booster at night. These is the only product I can use and my skin tolerate it. After 3 days, my skin is now...
If you have Sensitive, Itchy, Dehydrated, and Oily Skin just like me, This cleanser is Perfect for your daily Use! I've been repurchasing this product since the beginning of quarantine. I will never look back and cheat on this cleanser with other cleansers until I find my next HolyGrail (If that is possible). Quick tip, if you want to make your skin more smooth, pair this with the Simple Hydrating Oil Cleanser for Double cleansing! That's my favorite combo. Both are sold cheaper than other Dr...
I have combination skin + fungal acne. I use this cleanser everyday and I have no complain about it. İt is very gentle, caused no allergies, cleans my skin without drying it too much. The texture is very nice and a small amount is enough to cleanse the whole face. Does not have any smell not does it burn your skin. I love it!!!!
I have acne prone oily sensitive skin. Since Hyram introduced this affordable yet gentle and effective cleanser, my skin has never been this good. I love this cleanser so much! I use it in the morning and at night, I pair it up with either Banila Co cleansing balm or Hada Labo cleansing oil.
Found full bottle of this in the bottom of my drawer and didn't expect much. I had just broken out and felt like my current cleanser was way too harsh. Although it didn't transform my skin and make all my acne disappear, my skin felt significantly less irritated after just one wash.
It feels gentle and remove all the dirts on my face. Before this i have dry skin but after use simple micellar face wash , my skin feels more dehydrated and moist. There is no more bumpy acne on my forehead. My skin more smoother. No irritation at all.
