It really put me in a good mood! The size fits comfortably in one hand, and the bottle itself has a nice weight to it. The fragrance is just as described - like being in a forest, with a lovely blend of floral scents. I love lying down and inhaling the aroma while using it as a mask! The texture initially looks thick and firm, but it spreads easily and is more fluid than expected. I'd recommend applying it in multiple thin layers rather than one thick one. In terms of hydration and moisture, it's surprisingly rich, making it ideal for those with dry skin. It's great for people who struggle with makeup flaking off due to dry skin - it creates a smooth base that helps makeup adhere well.
ConsThe scent might be too strong for some, especially those who don't like floral or herbal fragrances - it could be a love-it-or-hate-it situation. One downside is that there's no designated spot for the spatula, which is a bit inconvenient. While it does provide hydration, it absorbs and evaporates quicker than expected, so it might not offer that intense, long-lasting moisture some are looking for. The rich texture means those with oily skin should use it sparingly.
TipFor an extra boost, try applying a thicker layer before bed like a sleeping mask. You'll wake up with incredibly smooth, supple skin. It's especially great as a makeup base for those with dry skin - I highly recommend it!

I'm not sure exactly what scent it is, but it's not weak due to the fragrance. I personally liked it, though it seems to be a love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent. Absorption: It applies smoothly and absorbs well into the skin quickly! Finish: It leaves a rich finish, like applying a butter hand cream. However, I didn't feel any stickiness or pilling (which is good!). There's no glow! Hydration: As someone with dry skin, I'm satisfied! It has a good balance of hydration and richness that kept my skin from feeling dry even the next day. Usually, my skin gets dry under a mask, but not with this.
ConsIt's on the richer side, so I wouldn't recommend it for non-dry skin types. However, it might be good for spot-treating dry areas. The scent might not be for everyone. Especially those who prefer fragrance-free products will probably dislike it...
TipI have dry skin, but my T-zone gets oily, so I use a lightweight moisturizer all over, then apply this cream thinly on my T-zone and more generously on my U-zone as a final step. I love the scent so much I keep sniffing it!

When I first received it, the beautiful packaging made me feel like I was getting a gift. It would be perfect as a present too! I appreciate that the packaging materials are eco-friendly. Usually, eco-friendly packaging arrives looking like it's been opened and closed fifteen times, but this arrived without a single crease. * Texture/Application: It looks like a lightweight moisturizer, but upon closer inspection, it has a bouncy texture! It applies smoothly like other moisturizers, but it's not too light. I have dry skin, so ultra-light moisturizers feel good when applied but seem to evaporate quickly. This one doesn't do that! It keeps my skin hydrated all day long. It's truly 'deep' as the name suggests. * Scent: It has my favorite florist shop scent! I'd buy it as a perfume if it existed. * Despite having sensitive and dry skin, I didn't experience any blemishes or irritation! I'm using it without any issues. At first, I thought it might leave a greasy finish, but after a moment, it absorbed well. It doesn't dry out over time, so I think it'll be great for seasonal changes or winter use.
ConsWhile the packaging is pretty and eco-friendly, there's quite a bit of waste. Those with oily skin might find it a bit rich! The scent is nice, but it's quite strong for a facial product. This might just be me though, as I have sensitive skin and don't like strong fragrances.
TipBefore applying makeup, I lightly blot with oil-absorbing sheets to reduce the rich feel, and then my makeup sits perfectly with a dewy, moisturized finish! It would be ideal to wait for the cream to fully absorb before applying makeup, but time is precious...

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsFirst off, the scent is absolutely delightful. True to its birch tree name, it has a fresh, herbal aroma that makes you feel like you're in a lush forest every time you apply it. The texture is richer compared to other moisturizers. As someone with dry skin, I found the oil content in this cream to be perfect for my needs. It even helped calm down my existing blemishes quickly. Despite its rich formula, I was pleasantly surprised that it didn't cause any pilling when I applied my cushion foundation or other makeup. Instead, it gave my skin a beautiful glow without any slipping.
ConsDue to its oil content, I wouldn't recommend this cream for those with oily skin types. It might be too rich for them. Also, I feel it could be more hygienic if it came with a spatula or some kind of plastic tool inside the container to scoop out the product.
TipGiven its rich formula, I think it would work wonderfully as a night cream. Try applying a generous amount before bed for maximum hydration!

First impression: The scent is absolutely lovely! I usually prefer unscented products as some can be overwhelming, but this has a subtle, refreshing woody and pine needle aroma that really lifted my mood. 2. It absorbs well with just the right amount of richness. For me, it seemed to balance oil and moisture perfectly, leaving my skin feeling hydrated for hours. 3. The luxurious packaging made me feel like I was receiving a gift. 4. When applied after toner and essence, it forms a protective layer that deeply moisturizes without causing any deep dryness or just making the surface look shiny.
Cons1. While the packaging is beautiful, it's probably not great for the environment. 2. I'm a bit concerned about some of the ingredients. 3. It might not be enough for extremely dry skin, but it has just the right balance of oil and hydration for combination dry skin. 4. The texture is quite soft, which makes it easy to apply but also means you might use more than necessary.
TipTry applying it like a hydrating mask on your face and neck, then do a lymphatic massage on your neck. The fragrance is so relaxing, and your skin will have a beautiful glow the next day!

First off, though not pictured, the packaging when it arrived was absolutely stunning. You could really see the care put into every detail, which made me feel excited right from the start. The set included the Symes cream and a small spatula. ☁️ Scent - As soon as I opened the lid, a rich aroma wafted out. It's like being in nature, surrounded by grass and forest, or perhaps crushed flower stems! I personally love this kind of scent, finding it very healing. However, it's quite strong rather than subtle, so it might not be everyone's cup of tea. ☁️ Texture & Application - It's quite thick and not lightweight at all. Those who prefer a fresh, light texture might hesitate with this one. It applies with a bit of heft, which means it takes some time to absorb. I wouldn't recommend using it before makeup as it might cause pilling. Instead, I strongly suggest applying it at night before bed!
ConsWhile those with dry skin might be satisfied with this cream, I wouldn't recommend it for those with oily skin. Even though I have dry skin, it feels a bit too rich for me! Also, not recommended for those sensitive to fragrances!

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsMy skin type: I have dry skin, and I'm starting to experience blemishes due to the changing seasons. I also have some small bumps. Packaging: When I first received the package and opened it, it felt like receiving a gift. The packaging was beautifully done and eco-friendly, which I really appreciated. It's so nice that I wouldn't hesitate to give it as a gift to others! Scent: It has a fragrance reminiscent of when you first walk into a flower shop. For me, the scent wasn't too strong but pleasantly subtle. However, my parents didn't like it, so it seems the fragrance can be a matter of personal preference. Application: For a moisturizer, it's neither too runny nor too heavy. It applies smoothly on the face, which I really liked. Makeup: On days when I wear makeup, my skin used to get dry, causing my makeup to separate in the afternoon. But when I apply this in the morning and then a thin layer of foundation, my makeup stays put until the afternoon! It's a game-changer. My skin doesn't feel dry, and my makeup applies beautifully. Brightening: After using it consistently morning and evening for two weeks, I was told my complexion looked brighter. While it may not provide dramatic brightening effects, you can definitely see some improvement. Deep dryness improvement: In winter, due to my allergies, the skin around my nose would get so dry that it would peel. But with consistent use, I've noticed a significant reduction in peeling, which is fantastic!
ConsSpatula: While it's great that it comes with a dedicated spatula, there's nowhere to store it. If I leave it on my vanity, it collects dust and I have to clean it before each use, which can be a bit annoying. Oiliness: At first, I failed to control the amount I used, and when I applied it to my face, it felt too rich, which was surprising. It should be fine for those with dry or combination dehydrated skin if you adjust the amount, but those with very oily skin might want to avoid it.
TipOn hot summer days or when UV rays are strong, try putting it in the refrigerator for a bit before cleansing. When applied, it gives a cooling effect to the skin while providing hydration, which is really nice.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsMy skin is extremely sensitive and dry, so even a slight excess in ingredients can immediately cause my face to flare up and develop blemishes. Keep this in mind, as it might be helpful for you! 1. Usually, I avoid applying creams before bed as they're often heavy and have irritating fragrances. However, this cream feels tailor-made for dry skin - it's not heavy at all, applies smoothly, and absorbs quickly. 2. It continuously forms a protective barrier, preventing any deep dryness. 3. The scent is cool and refreshing, so it's not bothersome even when applied before sleep. 4. Despite my super sensitive skin, it doesn't cause redness or blemishes. 5. The texture is like sorbet - light and soft. 6. Thanks to the protective barrier, my skin has a nice glow. 7. The packaging is so beautiful, I highly recommend it as a gift!
ConsIt's a perfect match for my extremely dry skin, so I'm planning to repurchase when I run out. However, those with oily skin might find it a bit too rich.
TipAfter showering, when my face is still a bit warm, I love using a gua sha tool to massage along my jawline and facial contours, then applying this cream all the way down to my neck. It feels absolutely wonderful!

Feels slippery, suggesting a high oil content ♦️Advantages Definitely effective for moisturizing due to its oily nature Recommended for use as an overnight moisturizing mask After nighttime use, the oil locks in moisture, keeping skin hydrated until the next day Packaging is beautifully presented, making it great for gifting
Cons♦️The oily texture feels increasingly heavy over time ♦️Too greasy for daily use ♦️As someone who prefers unscented products, the fragrance feels overpowering ♦️The oil content might clog pores, potentially causing blemishes (While I can't confirm the exact cause, small blemishes appeared after use)
TipIt would be best to use it as an overnight mask and thoroughly cleanse in the morning Alternatively, if it feels too heavy, you could use it as a 15-minute mask and then rinse off

A detailed catalog was included, providing more information about the ingredients and benefits. I liked that the container wasn't loose and wasn't made of easily breakable material. However, I was disappointed with the size of the included spatula. It wasn't small enough to fit inside the container, making storage inconvenient. ☘️Texture and Application The formula is more watery than thick. It spreads easily but feels quite rich, so it doesn't absorb as quickly. There's no stickiness after application. As someone with dry skin, I appreciated how long-lasting the hydration was. If you look closely at the cream, you can see large particles, but they spread smoothly on the skin without any rough feeling. ☘️Effects Although it claims to have soothing ingredients, I didn't notice any remarkable effects in that regard. There were no side effects like skin irritation or blemishes after use. As I have dry skin, I prioritize deep hydration, and this product seemed to excel more in moisturizing than soothing. It provides ample deep hydration that lasts until morning. Despite being quite watery, it doesn't evaporate quickly but stays on the skin for a long time, helping to lock in moisture. ☘️Scent It has a subtle floral scent similar to Hanyul's signature fragrance. The light, gentle aroma wasn't bothersome during use. ☘️Recommended for I recommend this for those with dry skin, anyone looking for a product that locks in deep hydration, and those who enjoy a subtle floral scent. I was particularly satisfied with the fragrance and how it felt on my skin. I wouldn't recommend it for those with oily skin due to its rich texture.
Cons🎃 It feels quite rich and can leave a slight shine immediately after application. (It's more suitable for nighttime use. When used before makeup, it made my foundation look a bit slippery.) 🎃 The spatula is inconvenient to store and might easily get lost.
TipI used it generously as an overnight sleeping mask, and it lasted until morning.
