Pros

The package that comes with Simes products is really pleasant and makes you feel good. I'm pleased that they used eco-friendly product packaging. Above all, the package gives you the feeling of receiving a big gift. And the fragrance is so, so, so good. I've also used the Simes hand wash, and the fragrance was so, so, so, so, so good as well. But this product is also so, so, so good. And it's great that they provide a rubber dropper and a button-type dropper to suit the user's preference. The product also has an excellent balance of moisture and oil, and it absorbs quickly when applied. In the morning, I just apply the serum, and in the evening, I apply the serum and cream, and the moisture is sufficient and very good. And the fragrance is so good every time I apply it, haha.

Cons

If there's one thing I'm a bit disappointed about, it's that the rubber dropper they provided is good, so I had to throw away the button-type dropper that came with it. It's such a waste, and I'm worried it might be harmful to the environment, so I felt a bit heavy-hearted about it.

Tip

After applying the water toner, apply an appropriate amount of serum, and then lightly apply the cream to complete the moisture supply.

Pros

At first, I was surprised by the large packaging. I felt good that the product packaging was all paper and corn filler, making it environmentally friendly. As I have a combination skin type that leans oily, the essence felt a bit heavy at first, but it absorbed quickly and left my skin feeling moisturized. I was satisfied.

Cons

I don't think there's anything particularly bad about it. But I don't think I'll repurchase it.

Pros

This is a sensitive skin product. When I first applied it to my skin, the texture felt a bit heavy, so I thought it might be a bit oily. But when I applied it, it spread on smoothly and absorbed nicely, leaving a slightly powdery finish. It didn't feel dry at all. So I found this to be an excellent summer essence for my sensitive skin! The floral scent is also very pleasant and comfortable.

Cons

The pump-style dropper didn't work well to dispense the product, so I ended up having to use the regular dropper that came with it instead. I don't like the regular dropper because the rubber handle tends to attract dust, so I was hoping the pump would be better. It was a bit disappointing.

Pros

As soon as you apply it, your skin is overflowing with moisture!! It absorbs quickly and smoothly without any stickiness!! The fragrance is incredibly luxurious and neutral, like a woody scent? It's a subtle yet deep aroma that permeates the air ㅎㅎ I think it's because it contains birch leaf extract, so it's reminiscent of fresh leaves and the scent of damp wood ㅎㅎ After applying, a moisture barrier forms on the skin's surface, immediately addressing any dryness! Even though it's an essence, it feels like a highly concentrated ampoule serum ㅎㅎ It finishes off refreshingly without any stickiness, which was perfect for my oily skin~! It's been a while since I've found a basic skincare product that makes me feel this much moisture and hydration^^ The product says 'Inviting your weary skin to the shade of the Finnish forest' on it, and when you smell the fragrance, you really do feel like you've been invited to a birch tree forest..! 100% repurchase intent

Cons

Since it's a glass bottle, there's a sense of anxiety that it might shatter if dropped... Let's all be careful!!

Tip

There are two types of caps, so you can choose the one that suits your preference! The original cap is a button-style tip, and there's an additional rubber dropper tip included as well~ The button-style cap, you open the lid and press the button from the outside, then release the button once it's inside the container, and the product comes out well ㅎㅎ

Pros

*Dry, Neutral Skin - Packaging Design This brand seems to have an excellent branding. The package, the accompanying leaflet, and the packaging are all very beautiful and thoughtful. It would be great as a gift. The essence container is glass, so the contents are clearly visible. The included dropper is a push-top type, which was a bit difficult to get used to at first, but I've gotten accustomed to it now. - Formulation It has a transparent white gel formulation. When it first touches the skin, it's in a gel form, but over time it melts and becomes a slightly flowing liquid. - Usage Experience The gel type provides great cooling and hydration. It's a great type to use in the summer. Using it as the first step after cleansing helps lower the skin temperature and provides sufficient hydration. Layering it 2-3 times doesn't burden the skin, and it doesn't slip when applying cream or base makeup on top. - Effectiveness It provided immediate and sufficient hydration to my dehydrated skin, improving the dryness to some extent. The moisturizing power is relatively a bit lacking, but not severely so.

Cons

The product is meant to be absorbed into the skin, but it has pilling, which is disappointing. I usually don't prefer products with pilling and fragrance, but this one has such a fresh scent and good usage experience that it's hard to give up.

Pros

The scent is pleasant, with a refreshing herbal aroma blended with a slight powdery note. Personally, I prefer the herbaceous, grassy scent, so I enjoyed it. The texture has a light viscosity, applies smoothly, and absorbs well. For oily skin, it may not feel completely matte, but it provides a decent level of moisture. It doesn't have an overly heavy or sticky feel, so it's comfortable to apply. I'm not sure yet about the calming or brightening effects.

Cons

The button-type dropper dispenses a slightly smaller amount of product than I would prefer. Other than that, I didn't experience any particular issues or discomfort.

Pros

The package is pretty. The fragrance is naturally refreshing. It absorbs well into my dry skin and effectively manages the dryness. It has a slightly sticky, runny essence-like texture.

Cons

The dropper is really, really, really inconvenient. ㅠㅠ About 5 days after using it, I started getting large pimples. ㅠ The downside is that the essence was too strong in many ways.

Pros

I was selected as a Hwahae Trial Reviewer and was able to use the product, and although I was quite worried since I have sensitive skin, I was satisfied with the first use as it absorbs quickly and is moisturizing! Scent: Floral scent (not too strong) Texture: Slightly soothing but watery Moisture: Sufficient! It's quite plump. I didn't really feel a calming effect, but my skin didn't break out either.

Cons

While I'm not sensitive to scents, those who are may find the scent to be a bit strong!! It didn't calm my skin dramatically, and I didn't see any dramatic effects.

Tip

After toning well and fully absorbing it, my skin became plump and the scent was a good match for me. I can't quite remember the exact name, but it was a floral, herbal scent. I'd recommend it to those whose skin isn't extremely sensitive.

Pros

In conclusion, I was really satisfied with this product. The moisture content was so good that the slight stickiness was negligible. Three of us, including myself, tried it and it did not seem to be problematic for any skin type. I also have the intention to purchase it myself later.

Cons

1. The fragrance was too strong. As someone sensitive to scents, I experienced nausea for a while after applying it, and needed time to get used to it. 2. The dropper was problematic. I'm not sure if I received a defective product or if that's how it's supposed to be, but it was quite inconvenient to use.

Tip

Even after applying it multiple times, the moisture content continued to increase without any pilling, which was great. The more you use it, the better it gets.

Pros

The packaging is so luxurious when I first received it. The luxurious packaging really puts me in a good mood. The scent is great when applied, and the application is fantastic. I really like the formula that is not too heavy or too light, and this product is perfect for me!

Cons

The dropper is absolutely terrible... I don't know if it's just mine, but it doesn't suck up the product nor dispense it properly. I just end up pouring it out of the bottle and using it that way...
