Exhibits A Through You

Sophia

Skin Concern: acne, dryness, sensitivity

Age: 18-24

“I've been using the Oat So Simple Water Cream for about a year now, ever since I found it in a YouTube review that was for people with acne prone skin. It's really refreshing in the morning and really calming and soothing at night. I wake up and my skin is definitely less irritated and my acne has not flared up.”

Brianna

Skin Concern: acne, dark spots, dryness

Age: 25-34

“I started using Oat So Simple Water Cream because my skin got completely compromised when I started using way too many acids... Between this moisturizer and the Great Barrier Relief, they completely reset my skin... Oat So Simple Water Cream is just the go-to whenever I need to reset and have my skin looking its best.”

Kendra

Skin Concern: acne, sensitivity

Age: 18-24

“I have been using the Oat So Simple Water Cream for about two to three years, ever since a junior in college. With all the stress, lack of sleep, and forgetting my skincare routine, all the moisturizers I would use wouldn't really work. My cousin told me about KraveBeauty and how their Oat So Simple Water Cream has very few ingredients and is very lightweight.”

Ally

Skin Concern: dullness, pores

Age: 18-24

“I really love the Oat So Simple Water Cream because it's universal and packed with emollients and simple ingredients. I would definitely recommend this to all of my friends because it fits all skin types. Plus, it just bursts onto your skin and it doesn't even feel like you're using a really heavy moisturizer in order for it to do the job.”

    From the best skin of my life to the most dry and patchy skin of my life!

    s. I followed the recommendation to layer it. I have to put on THREE LAYERS and add Great Barrier Relief and Skinfood propolis morning and night not to be in pain. My skin is still dry, especially because I use Hero Force Shield zinc sunblock daily. I know zinc is drying, but it was fine with my past moisturizers because they actually moisturized my skin. Oat, so simple water cream made my skin so painfully dry during the middle of the day I had to stop what I was doing to drive to Target and get emergency Cerrave! I can't use any of my activities because my skin is so irritated, and now my skin gets more acne and irritation from my IT cc cream and even my CIca BB cream. It's awful !!!!! I also wake up at night because my skin is so dry. DO NOT BUY THIS MOSTRIZER if you have combination skin, or use a Ceramide moisturizer that worked for you! Especially don't try this if you don't have your old moisturizer to return to! RUN, DON'T WALK AWAY; SAVE YOURSELF!

    Hi Kara, thank you so much for taking the time to write a review! We're so sorry to hear that our Oat So Simple Water Cream didn't give your skin the amount of moisture that it craved.

    Our moisturizer is intended to provide safe and simple hydration, especially for skin easily irritated by all the different kinds of moisturizers out there on the market. We wanted a moisturizer that is suitable for skin with even the most sensitive of needs. However, we're sorry to hear that Oat So Simple did not provide your skin the hydration you had hoped for.

    Depending on how dry your skin is, Oat So Simple Water Cream should be good for your basic hydration needs but may need the support of an extra-hydrating friend such as an oil or serum, especially in the colder/drier months - we can recommend mixing in an oil or serum for a boost!

    We apologize for this less-than-ideal experience. If you need any further assistance please email us at hello@kravebeauty.com!

    Wouldn't Recommend for Dry Skin

    This moisturizer is lightweight and gentle however since I have really dry skin it wasn't really moisturizing enough. I would recommend this though for someone who has oily or sensitive skin.
