Birch Nordic Birch Fresh Toner

Pleasant Scent

Subtle Scent

Easily Absorbed

Refreshing

Soothing

Moisturizing

Not Irritating

I have atopic skin, and it has been a bit worse lately. When I used this product, there was a temporary stinging sensation in the areas where my atopic dermatitis flared up, but it wasn't extremely irritating or turning red. I didn't feel any irritation in the non-atopic areas. Products with whitening functions do tend to have a bit of irritation for those with troubled skin, though.

The product is a water-based formula, and the scent is absolutely amazing!! It's my favorite scent ever!! It's not artificial at all, but a natural aroma. The description says it's a birch scent, but I'm not sure, it just feels like taking a shower with phytoncides. Every time I use it, I feel so refreshed and it's just wonderful...
Especially when I use it after showering, it makes me feel so good!
At night, after showering and taking a whiff of the scent, gently cleansing with this product, and then applying the ampoule and cream, it's just perfect!

There might be some who don't like the scent, but for those who enjoy this kind of fragrance, this is definitely a product you'll love!

자작나무 노르딕버치 프레시 토너

Simese team, can you hear my voice?
Please go crazy with this scent and make a body mist, hand cream, diffuser, and so on.

For those who prefer unscented products, this may not be a good choice.
It may also feel drying on dry skin types.

When using water-like toners (not the runny nose type), you sometimes feel like there's no difference between using that and just plain tap water... But the Simese toner has a water-like texture while still providing sufficient moisture and hydration, which I found very satisfying, especially for my oily skin type.
The absorption is great, leaving my skin feeling dewy yet refreshed.

And the scent... the scent is just incredible.
It has a fairly strong fragrance, but personally I found it to be not at all overwhelming.
The moment you apply it to your face, a lush, verdant aroma rushes into your nose - not a neutral or spicy scent, but the pure essence of nature itself.

It's like the fragrance of a botanical garden, or a fleeting whiff from a flower shop... as if they've bottled up the very scent of a verdant forest. It's a scent you just can't get enough of, sniffing it over and over again. 
Honestly, I enjoyed the fragrance more than the toner itself.ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

🧡Drawbacks
None at all. I haven't encountered any drawbacks while using it so far. If any come up, I'll update this review accordingly.

🧡Strengths
Packaging
The packaging really seems high-end and luxurious when you see it in person. Cosmetics usually don't have this level of quality in the packaging, but it's really pretty and you can even check how much product is left, which is great. The staff is amazing!!

Fragrance
The toner has a hot spring water scent? That seems to be tea tree? Herbal? Anyway, it has a natural fragrance that just makes me feel so good and like my skin is getting healthier every time I use it.
The word 'Simes' is Finnish for 'shade', and it has the feeling of the fragrance found in the Finnish forests.

Texture
The texture is almost non-existent, almost like a water toner. So in the morning, I use it on a cotton pad to wipe off any flakiness on my nose, and in the evening after cleansing, I gently pat it in for absorption.

It doesn't cause any breakouts, and the product itself is very gentle, so I definitely want to repurchase. It's been a while since I've tried a natural cosmetics product like this.

Cleansing and then absorbing it twice leaves a refreshing finish, which is great.

When using it once, since I had to use it for both cleansing and absorption, the volume was a bit disappointing.

First, when I opened the lid, I was pleased by the forest-like fragrance.
After wiping and absorbing, using it twice, there was no irritation and it was great.
I felt my skin was soothed... I think I'll continue using it.
And it's in a glass bottle, but the packaging was carefully done, and the package was pretty, so I felt good using it.
