I bought this set along with the Omega product after hearing about its great effects. My redness has always been more of a concern than wrinkles, causing me constant stress. But I could actually feel the redness becoming less noticeable. I think as the redness improves, the wrinkles will too! As a college student, the price feels a bit too steep for me. However, if I see significant results after about a month of use, I might consider repurchasing... - Hwahae UserNormal SkinSensitive SkinJul 19, 2017
The amount is surprisingly generous, not feeling like just 5ml at all. I never felt it was insufficient. Initially, I received it as a gift, and now I've repurchased it twice more. The effects were great for me. People kept telling me my skin looks good and that I look younger, so I've continued to repurchase because I love it so much. I wish they could extend it to a two-month supply and reduce the price a bit... Of course, compared to the cosmetics I used to buy from door-to-door sales, it's incredibly cheap, but I just wish it was a little less expensive... Or at least include some samples... The application method is important. Honestly, I didn't find it inconvenient, but for those who find the texture uncomfortable, try applying it like I do - spray it on your hands first. It's much easier that way. Also, it's a once-a-week product. If you want to look beautiful, this level of effort is... Compared to other products I've tried, I don't find it particularly inconvenient. - Hwahae UserNormal SkinJul 18, 2017
I've been using this for two months now. My face seems a bit brighter - people have been telling me so, so I guess it must be true! The reason I repurchased is because of the fine lines on my forehead. Those fine lines have noticeably faded. After seeing such great results in the first month, I bought it again and I'm still using it. It's much more convenient to take care of my skin at home rather than going to a spa, and the price is quite reasonable too. Above all, I love that it's fragrance-free! While it didn't cause any blemishes, I think the texture could use some improvement. I've been using it for two months now so I've gotten used to it, but first-time users might be taken aback... Instead of applying it directly to my face, I spray it onto my hands first and then pat it onto my face. This way, it doesn't drip and it's easier to use. It also cuts down on time, so it pretty much matches up with the application time the product suggests! - Hwahae UserNormal SkinJul 5, 2017
Love it! I've been using 3 sets for 3 months. The first week, after cleansing, I spread it with my hands to absorb. It tingled more than expected, so I thought it might not suit me. But the next day, my skin was noticeably brighter! It also felt firmer and more filled out, so I kept using it. By the month mark, my skin really felt plump, and both my skin texture and complexion improved. It's a great product for home skincare routines! The price! Still, it's cheaper than going to an esthetician or dermatologist, and after using it for 4 weeks, I'd say it's worth buying. It's a bit of a splurge, but if I skip a few nights out drinking, I can afford it! - Hwahae UserDry SkinSensitive SkinJul 1, 2017
As someone with extremely dry skin, I've always struggled with fine lines, a dull complexion, and finding the right skincare products. Then, by chance, a friend recommended Bimini cosmetics. The results were amazing! Alpha absorbs quickly, providing a firming effect while seemingly brightening my complexion. Omega glides on smoothly, refining my skin texture and giving me that coveted 'Inner Glow'. My makeup applies beautifully the next day. It's perfect for my dry skin, which is why I keep repurchasing and plan to continue using it. Bimini is a total game-changer! When replacing the empty Alpha container with a new one, it feels a bit stiff at first. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinSensitive SkinJun 27, 2017Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

You have to apply it directly onto your skin and massage it in right away, which I loved because it forces you to give yourself a face massage without setting aside extra time. It feels like water droplets on your skin, and I appreciated that the scent wasn't overpowering. Using it once a week was perfect too! I don't think I could manage using this every single day though. After using the whole bottle and constantly rolling it on my skin, I'm not sure if my skin became desensitized, but the feeling was rather dull and I didn't like it. I was worried if it was harming my skin, and sure enough, right after applying it, red blemishes appeared all over my face. It stung and felt strange. Also, having to constantly remove and replace the roller was inconvenient. - an***Dry SkinSensitive SkinJun 27, 2017Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

Alpha is used once a week, while Omega is for daily use. The review pages for Alpha and Omega are separate, which might be a bit inconvenient to read, so I'll cover the common features here and mention Omega-specific details in its section. - Effectiveness: ☆☆☆☆☆ (5 out of 5) I was quite satisfied with the anti-aging effects! The product claims to improve wrinkles and brighten skin. While it's hard to notice brightening effects in just a week, I could see that my skin became more elastic, pores tightened, and smile lines slightly faded. (I've attached an unedited photo, though I'm a bit shy about it.) Honestly, it's rare to find a product that delivers such results just from application, without any clinical procedures. - Ingredients: ☆☆☆☆ I had high expectations based on the ingredients list even before receiving the product. Many anti-aging products can be harsh - for instance, retinol-based products have given me lots of blemishes in the past. Bimini mostly uses naturally-derived ingredients with low risk factors, which raised my hopes. However, after using it, I developed two small pimples on my chin. (I tend to break out in that area when a product doesn't suit me.) Also, I felt a slight tingling sensation when applying Bimini Omega at night, suggesting I might be slightly allergic to some ingredients. Even if they're not harmful, there's still a risk of allergic reactions. Since allergies vary from person to person, I'm only deducting one star. - User Experience: ☆☆☆ Bimini Alpha comes in a syringe-like container with a water-based essence. You're supposed to apply all 5ml at once, which requires quite a bit of patience. It took me 6-7 applications over 10 minutes to use it all on my face and neck. The amount one considers sufficient may vary depending on skin condition, but I question whether it's necessary to use all 5ml at once. By the 6th application, I could feel the essence sitting on top of my skin. I wondered if a sheet mask format that you leave on for 10 minutes might have been more convenient. While the water-based formula absorbs quickly, it tends to drip when squeezed out, making application tricky. The opaque container makes it hard to see how much is left, and towards the end, the solution tends to spray in all directions from the syringe, which was inconvenient. It was interesting to feel my skin tightening as I waited for absorption, but I was curious why they instruct to wash it off after 10 minutes. It's clearly a good product, but I felt it lacked explanations to help users understand the benefits of each product and the reasons behind the usage instructions. I think addressing these points in future improvements would make it an even more beloved product. - Hwahae UserDry SkinSensitive SkinJun 26, 2017Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

Rinse off after 10 minutes. Then apply the Omega. Texture: Thin liquid (5ml) applied all at once. Absorption: The thin liquid absorbs well with massage-like application. Skin feels hydrated. The 5ml quantity is surprisingly generous. However, the instructions recommend using the entire amount in one application for best results. (There must be a reason for this!) After application, you may feel a slight tingling sensation and tightness. It's a shame to wash off this precious liquid after just 10 minutes, but I rinsed thoroughly with water only. Finish with the Omega (feels like an essence). The ingredients are excellent. It's a functional cosmetic for antioxidation, brightening, wrinkle improvement, and firmness. What's impressive is the lack of harsh chemicals - it really feels like an honest skincare brand that prioritizes nature and skin health. I'm usually cautious with functional products due to my sensitive skin, but I experienced no blemishes at all. Rather than relying on harsh chemicals to forcefully penetrate the skin, this product seems to focus on research using quality ingredients and technology to benefit the skin. Don't expect dramatic results - this is a product designed for gradual improvement with consistent use. I've noticed subtle improvements in skin elasticity and fine lines. I wanted to show before/after photos, but after only 2 weeks of use, the changes aren't visually apparent yet. I've observed improvements in skin clarity, brightening, and firmness. This product is suitable for all skin types. While individual results may vary, the fact that my sensitive skin tolerated it well suggests it doesn't contain irritating or harsh ingredients. The price point is on the higher side. However, I'd choose this product with its pure, natural herbal ingredients and advanced technology over mass-market brands that advertise 'functional' products full of chemicals. The Alpha solution does sting a bit when applied. I'm curious about the reason for this. After rinsing, there's no stinging or irritation. Since the product is liquid and generous in quantity, use the applicator to apply it directly to the skin in small amounts to prevent it from dripping. After applying both Alpha and Omega, I felt a slight dryness, so I added a layer of chemical-free moisturizer. After applying Omega, I didn't feel the need to add other products, but I did apply some of the same chemical-free line around my eyes and mouth. I'm unsure about this part - whether it's necessary to apply additional products or not. - qj******Combination SkinSensitive SkinAcne SkinJun 26, 2017Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

I was excited to see that this product seems to have only gentle ingredients without any harmful components. I initially thought it was something to be applied daily, but upon receiving it, I realized it's recommended for use once a week. You apply it after washing your face and rinse it off with water after 10 minutes, which is quite unique and made me even more eager to try it. The Omega product, on the other hand, is for daily use. As shown in the photo, it comes in a set. The first one is Omega, and the following are Alpha and refills. They're in syringe-like containers. As mentioned in the instructions, the texture is incredibly watery, just like in the photo. It's so runny that it dripped several times while I was taking pictures, so you really need to be careful when applying it to prevent it from running. However, as you continue applying, you'll notice it does get absorbed. It doesn't feel like you're applying water, and it absorbs within seconds, leaving no residue. At first, it took over ten minutes to apply, but the second time was easier as I got used to it and it flowed less. During the second application, I noticed a temporary whitening effect while applying, though it disappeared after washing. In the first week, despite my skin being super sensitive due to PMS, I definitely saw a reduction in blemishes after washing and applying the Omega product. Although I'm not confident enough to share photos of my facial skin due to its poor condition, I could see that my sagging skin improved slightly and those mysterious acne-like bumps decreased. By the second week, my skin condition had improved significantly as my period had ended. Using this product seemed to further reduce the bumpy acne, though I'm not sure if it's due to this product or the Omega one. I'd like to give more credit to Omega, but I think the Alpha's cleansing effect lasted for a week, contributing to an overall improvement in my skin condition. My skin used to be oily, but as I've aged, it's become almost dry. It's now combination dehydrated skin, sensitive, and prone to acne. Before using this, I was using two products - an essence and a serum. Even though it's summer, my skin felt a bit dry, but I kept using them out of habit. Surprisingly, even though the Omega product has an almost water-like gel texture like Alpha, it felt less drying than the two products I was using before. The area around my eyes, which used to be very dry and tight, felt much less dry, and my skin felt just right overall. It's not overly oily either. While it might be too dry for those with very dry skin if used alone, I feel like I could get by with just the Omega and an eye cream in summer. Touching my skin now after using it for the second time, it definitely feels much better than during my period. However, those with very oily skin or during spring, fall, and winter might need more hydration. Before, when I was using the essence and serum, my skin was flaky and especially rough, but now it's not rough at all. After using Alpha again after a week and applying Omega daily, I can definitely say that Alpha has helped improve my skin, working in synergy with Omega. The biggest change I've noticed is in my skin texture. It's not flaky anymore, and it feels like it's becoming more elastic and smooth like normal skin, which I'm really happy about. At first, I was worried because it stung a little when I applied it, like others have mentioned, probably due to the large amount and long application time. But that was only at first, and it was fine after washing it off. Using it today, I feel confident that it will continue to improve, and I'm even considering repurchasing it. Looking at my skin continuously for the past two hours since applying it, I'm really excited about the results. I realized why I kept using the previous essence and serum even though my skin was getting drier and worse - I thought they worked well last year. But using this product has made me realize how much better my skin feels with just one product - less dry and improved overall. I want to keep using this, but I learned from other reviews that it can only be used for about 28 days, which is a shame. But I'm really looking forward to seeing how much more my skin will improve as I continue to use Omega and Alpha for the remaining two weeks. I'm very satisfied with the improvements I've seen - my skin is no longer flaky, has a good texture, the acne-like bumps have decreased, and even the sagging has reduced. I'm really pleased with the results! The downside was... the application process for Alpha is quite time-consuming. You have to wash it off, and it takes a while to apply it all at once because it's so watery, so you need to be careful when applying. Also, you're supposed to massage it in straight lines or pat it to absorb, but I wanted to apply it in circular motions. These aspects were a bit disappointing. However, seeing how my skin condition improved, it was okay. The second application was much quicker, and I saw improvements. The first time I used it was right before my period, so it stung a bit more than when I applied it today after my period ended. When I applied too much, it stung, making me wonder if I really needed to apply so much at once. Because of this, parts of my face turned red even after washing it off, and I felt it was a waste to wash off what I had just applied. But I think I understand now why it needs to be washed off. During the first week of use, since it was a sensitive time, it stung more, so I washed it off for a long time. The stinging subsided after applying Omega, and the redness on my face almost disappeared the next day and was completely gone by the second day. Today, in the second week, it stung much less than the first week, but my face still turned red in the areas where I massaged. I was a bit worried, but after washing it off and applying Omega, my skin returned to normal. I've seen reviews from testers who said it kept stinging... I'm quite sensitive too, but for me, it was fine after washing it off, so I gave it four stars. It was also a bit itchy. In the second week, it only itched before washing it off, but in the first week, it itched frequently in some areas on the first day and a bit on the second day too. However, when I only applied Omega daily after using Alpha, it didn't itch from the second day onwards. Even on the day I used it in the second week, when my body wasn't in a sensitive state, the itching or stinging was only temporary. I felt the improvements outweighed these minor issues, so I think the downsides are manageable. I'm considering repurchasing as I feel my skin will continue to improve, but after seeing other reviews and the price - apparently 150,000 won for a set - I'm not sure if the effects are worth that much. I'm not certain, but my skin has definitely improved and seems like it will get even better with continued use, so I might try it again if it weren't for the hassle. I'm thinking of maybe just buying the Omega product. But even if it's good, it's still disappointing that it's so expensive. Despite its effectiveness, the high price is inevitably a drawback. Even though I have sensitive skin, for those who are much more sensitive, I think if you rinse it off thoroughly with water like I did, you might experience less stinging or itching in certain areas. It's only temporary anyway. I've only used Alpha twice so far, so I don't have many tips yet, but I really rinsed it off a lot, which I think is why the effects only lasted before washing or for about a day. I'm sharing this experience in case it helps. When applying, worrying about it running might actually make it run more. I'd suggest cupping your hand, quickly squeezing out the product as soon as it drops, and quickly massaging it in. For those with sensitive skin, patting it in to absorb might be better. Applying it quickly seems to be better for more sensitive skin types. - kh********Combination SkinSensitive SkinAcne SkinJun 26, 2017Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

It's pleasantly hydrating, making it perfect for the current weather. With the sun getting stronger, I've been more conscious about my skin lately. While the regular price of 153,000 won for the Alpha+Omega set might seem expensive for cosmetics, it feels like an affordable investment in your skin compared to dermatologist treatments. The Alpha set includes one 5ml full-size product and three refills, enough for 4 weeks. You only need to use it once a week. Checking the website, I noticed it contains fat-dissolving ingredients, suggesting it's not your average product. The massage helps with blood circulation too. While I'm not sure about the specific ingredients, my interpretation is that it absorbs, cleanses, exfoliates, and promotes new cell growth. It seems similar to a Fraxel treatment concept, but without the intense pain associated with the procedure. This could be great for those hesitant about getting treatments. It should work well for most skin types. Although the brand claims it's non-irritating, quite a few Hwahae Testers, including myself, experienced some skin irritation. When applying Alpha, I noticed redness and a tingling sensation, which was disappointing. It also felt a bit drying during the waiting period. If these symptoms persist, it might not be suitable for my skin. I'll need to use it a bit longer to be sure. It's hard to tell if these are positive effects or signs that it doesn't suit my skin. Higher-nutrition products with stronger effects can sometimes cause irritation. Another downside is that the application process is a bit complex and cumbersome. But then again, beauty requires some time investment, right? After cleansing, squeeze out the entire contents of one Alpha packet onto your hands and apply it to your face. Massage it in, gently patting to help absorption. It takes about 10 minutes to apply, plus another 10 minutes of waiting for further absorption. After 10 minutes, rinse with water (soap is fine too). Then apply Omega (which has an essence-like texture), and if you have dry cheeks, follow up with a cream. Ideally, it's best not to use any other products with this routine.
