SIMKA Day Cream SPF 15

I really enjoyed using this day cream with SPF 15. I like that it was lightweight and easy to wear, and because it was only SPF 15 I would pair it with an SPF 50 sunscreen, which it goes under or on top of very easily. I found this product very hydrating and it made my skin really drink it up yet not feel greasy. I especially liked the probiotics in the product which I felt really balanced my skin's microbiome and I did notice a difference in that my skin looked and felt less damaged than it usually does. I liked that the product contained a lot of glycerin so it was very moisturising.

I liked using the SIMKA Day Cream SPF 15 in my morning routine. It has a lightweight texture that absorbs quickly but still gives my skin a nice, hydrated feel throughout the day. It didn’t leave my feeling greasy and my skin felt quite hydrated after using this. The added SPF 15 is a great addition but I wouldn’t rely on this as my SPF. Overall, it’s a lovely day cream if you want something hydrating, barrier-supportive, and comfortable with the bonus of SPF. It keeps my skin looking fresh and healthy all day.

I really do like this product. It comes in great packaging to avoid any mess when applying the cream to your skin. The moisturiser is light, so it never makes my face feel heavy or oily. However, it does have a slight white cast, which does go away after you lather it really well into your skin; however, you may still be able to see that your face is a bit whiter than usual in some lighting. If you wear it under makeup, it is completely fine, as you won't be able to tell that there is a white cast. However, I wouldn't wear it without makeup. Although it is very convenient as you don't have to apply moisturiser and sunscreen because it is combined, which saves time and energy in the mornings. Would recommend.

I enjoyed testing the SIMKA Day Cream SPF 15, I had never heard of this brand before so I was keen to try out their day cream. The formula is light to medium and isn't too thick which is important as the weather is getting hotter, I gravitate towards lightweight products. It has a slight fragrance not strong but it is pleasant and you can't smell it once it has settled into the skin. I used this each morning after cleansing my face, it leaves a dewy finish at first but it does settle in after about 30mins and is very hydrating for skin, which is important for me as my skin is often dry and sensitive. I will continue to incorporate this into my daily routine and I recommend this however would highlight that the price is on the more expensive side compared to drugstore day creams.

I have tried several products from Simka before and have enjoyed using their products. So naturally I was really excited to try out the Simka day cream. It is a moisturiser that contains SPF 15 for a bit of sun protection (although I do wish it had a higher level of SPF). The cream is non-comedogenic, has a nice consistency and feels great on the skin. I apply it on my face and neck in the morning and then follow it up with my SPF 50+. It doesn't feel too heavy or greasy on the skin but it does leave a nice sheen for a glowing, youthful look. Some of the ingredients in the day cream include shea butter, vitamin E, a prebiotic peptide complex which is meant to help with your skin barrier and cucumber seed oil to soothe and calm the skin. I do think it's a great day cream but SPF 50 would make it even better.

I’ve been using this day cream as part of my morning routine, layered under my makeup and after my regular sunscreen. While it does contain SPF 15, I personally don’t feel that’s enough protection for the Australian sun, but please do your own research and choose what feels right for you. Texture-wise, this cream really surprised me. It looks thick at first, but once applied it becomes incredibly lightweight and melts into the skin without any greasy residue. The finish is soft, dewy, and naturally glowy, exactly the kind of base I like under makeup. I also appreciate the refillable bottle design, which makes the product feel a bit more thoughtful and environmentally conscious. Overall, it’s a beautifully formulated day cream that offers hydration, a smooth base for makeup, and a fresh, dewy finish.
