Simple Oil Balancing Exfoliating Wash vs. Kind To Skin Moisturising Facial Wash

I've been using Simple products for a few years now, and ever since I got one of their bundles- which contained a Simple cosmetics bag, their hydrating light moisturiser and a pack of their cleansing wipes- I've been using their products ever since!
     One of the most recent products I've bought of theirs is the Clear Skin Oil Balancing Exfoliating Wash. I'm really pleased with it and it's one of two of their facewashes I have- the other being the Simple Kind To Skin Moisturising Facial Wash. I have to say the Exfoliating Wash seems to be more moisturising than the other! The Moisturising one seems to make my face feel really tight and dry and I usually have to use a lot of moisturiser after using it.
     The Exfoliting Wash does however seem to make my face more flaky but I still don't have to apply as much moisturiser. After using the Exfoliating Wash my face looks a lot less red than before (on acount of the Witch Hazel it contains) which is more than I can say for the Moisturising Wash as that still leaves my skin with quite a few spots.

     In all Simple products there are different nutrients and vitamins to help keep your skin healthy and there are 2 nutrients in the Exfoliating Wash: Witch Hazel, which helps reduce blemishes; and Natural Zinc PCA, which absorbs excess oil. It also contains Pro-vitamin B5 which softens and smoothes your skin. The Mosturising Wash contains Bisabolol, to soften and moisturise the skin and vitamin E as well as Pro-vitamin B5 to moisturise.
     It may be that I don't have the right skin for the Moisturising Facial Wash and I am not saying it is a bad product, I would recommend it for people with dry skin however I would also recommend using the light or even rich Moisturiser with it to stop any tautening of the skin. However I do prefer the Oil Balancing Wash and I would say that this is a better product. In Superdrug at the moment (04/11/12) the price of both the Oil Balancing Wash and the Moisturising Facial Wash is around £3/£4! A great value for such great products
