REVIEW: Simple Replenishing Rich Moisturizer

Hello, it's been a while since I last wrote a review (literally a little over a year)! Before we begin, I just want to apologize in advance it if seems like the post is all over the place and if the pictures don't look that great (I forgot how much time and effort it takes to take/edit pictures). In the next post, which will be out on Friday, I will have more information about the direction of this blog. For the meantime, enjoy this review!

The past year I've been experimenting with different moisturizers to find a brand that I really like. During the fall/winter, I was using Neutrogena Hydro Boost and it was great for my dry skin, but once spring hit and now that it's summer I needed a lighter moisturizer because my skin was getting oilier. Because I was away at school and I didn't have time to research any products I picked up Simple's Replenishing Rich Moisturizer at a CVS. It claims to work for 12 hours and that it doesn't have any harsh chemicals that will upset the skin.
Here are some different pictures of the product:

The moisturizer

I don't hate this moisturizer but I don't think I can say I love it either. This is a light moisturizer and great for the summer but my only problem is that sometimes I get a burning sensation --which is a bit problematic. Obviously, if a product burns your skin you should stop using it but it's not too often and there isn't any redness or breakouts the next day when I use it. It says there are no harsh chemicals to irritate my skin so I'm wondering if it's because I use an exfoliating brush every day. I don't want to have to change the way I wash my face because of one product so I'll keep looking for a moisturizer that won't give me the burning sensation.
