A Break for Overloaded, Oversensitized, Over It Skin
Between active acids, potent patches, and concentrated creams, your skin is working overtime. Until one day, it happens: burnout. You feel super sensitive, you break out, and you can’t even touch your skin without wincing. What now? The answer’s simple—Oat So Simple. It was created to be the no-fuss, just-right moisturizer that perfectly complements our supercharged routines.
The no-frills formula gives your skin the gentle calming it wants and the essential hydration it needs to go from “so over this” to “glad that’s over.” Whew!
PETA-certified vegan and cruelty-free.
Oats: Soothes irritation and rebalances stressed skin. Trehalose: Helps bind water to skin to retain moisture. Squalane: Conditioning and moisturizing agent that locks in moisture.
The color and texture of Oat So Simple Water Cream may naturally vary slightly from batch to batch. No worries! This is a normal occurrence when using naturally-derived ingredients and does not impact the efficacy of the formula.
K003-01-0001-EUPair with Great Barrier Relief Serum
When you’re craving: Extra moisture
Why it works: Water-based cream to hydrate, oil-based serum to seal it in.
How to use: Can be mixed together or applied in any order.
Extra tip: Apply moisturizer liberally but apply serum in layers to prevent greasiness.
How to Recycle
Step 1: Clean and separate! Before recycling your Oat So Simple Water Cream, make sure the jar is rinsed and free of product.
Step 2: Investigate! The Oat So Simple jar is made from PET [1], which is completely recyclable and is the most recycled plastic worldwide. The cap, disc, and spatula are made from PP [5]. Not all recycling programs accept PP so we recommend checking with your local recycling.
Step 3: Recycle! If both type 1 and type 5 plastics are both recyclable in your area, we recommend just throwing the entire container in the recycling bin. The labels or glue can be recycled too, so no need to remove those.
Materials Used

“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.”

“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.”

Skin Concern: acne, sensitivity

“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.”

For years I have struggled with oily skin due to dehydration, but creams and lotions were too greasy and gel moisturizers never helped at any time of the year in the dry climate I live in! The closest I ever got was Clinique's yellow gel moisturizer but I wanted ingredients that did more than the minimum. This water cream hydrates and doesn't let my acne scars show as much!
- ASAmy S.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars5 days agoSo lightweight
I loved applying this cream it was so lightweight yet moisturizing and I noticed the redness in my skin go down after a week
- AKAlafair K.Verified BuyerRated 2 out of 5 stars1 week agoNot really hydrating?
I initially was making a purchase for just the skin barrier serum but thought it would be fun to also try a new Krave product as I was out of my regular moisturizer. I’m disappointed with this product as it doesn’t really keep my skin feeling supple or soft. In fact, I feel like my skin has been showing up more dry patches since I started using it? Im also not a huge fan of how much it smells like oats - despite how much I like eating oats lol. Any how, this moisturizer wasn’t for me and for the price is not worth it.
KKraveBeauty6 days agoHi Alafair, thanks for taking the time to share your experience!
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. The intention of our moisturizer was to provide safe and simple hydration especially for skin easily irritated by all the different kinds of moisturizers out there on the market. When developing this product, we put an emphasis on "safe", that it wouldn't irritate but be safe to use for skin with even the most sensitive of needs. However, we're sorry to hear that Oat So Simple did not provide your skin with the hydration you had hoped for.
Please be on the lookout for an email from our Customer Care Team!
- KKeiVerified ReviewerRated 3 out of 5 stars1 week agoNeeds to be more hydrating
This review is after using Oat So Simple for a month: I wanted a moisturizer that was light so my skin felt less oily in the spring. When I first started this, my skin felt very prickly and very tight. I experienced some dry skin and peeling especially around my T-zone, which almost made me stop using this all together. Alas, I didn't want to waste $28 and maybe my skin was getting used to it. After a few more weeks, there was some positive change. I stopped getting tiny pimples (probably thanks to the oats) and eventually my skin stopped peeling. That said, this moisturizer should probably be layered with other products like a hydrating serum or toner, and ESPECIALLY a sunscreen. It seems effective with Krave's entire skincare line (which I've been on since purchasing the moisturizer). TL;DR: For something in the core series, it's weird that it needs to have other steps for it to work, so I look forward to the reformulation of this moisturizer (at possibly a lower price).
- BLBri L.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 week agoI was pleasantly surpried by this!
I've seen some mixed reviews on this, but ended up really loving this! I decided I really needed to opt for a more basic moisturizer for my highly reactive skin type, where I have to watch out for certain ingredients. This ticked all the boxes and had such a short ingredient list, so I figured it wouldn't hurt to try - glad I did! Perfect summer moisturizer for me who (on top of having sensitive reactive skin) has combination skin and leans more on the oily side. I appreciated the cooling effect and it's extremely light weight! I wear this under makeup and find that it wears well underneath, if not, it makes my makeup application more seamless. Have not had ANY skin reactions, so that's always a godsend for me.
Please don't ever change, oat-so-simple!
