Does anyone here love anything classic? Because I do – I am an old
soul, they say. So, how about a skin care brand that has been around since
1860, made from the city of love, Paris, and formulated for differing regions
and seasons? Hmm… interesting, right? Well, the no. 1 French Skincare Brand and
no. 1 Brightening Skincare from Paris, CrèmeSimon, is now available in the Philippines!
I will be reviewing three of the most coveted and popular products
of Crème Simon: Crème
Universelle, Gentle
Double Exfoliation Scrub, and Lymphatic
Contouring & Lifting Gel.
If there is one thing these three have in common, it's their scent
- slightly flowery, but not overpowering. The scent is actually calming, if I
may say so.
Performance
CrèmeSimon Gentle Double Exfoliation Scrub, Price: Php1,399
This creamy, gentle scrub contains 2 kinds
of natural beads – jejuba and
fine wheat particles – to
refine and revitalize skin, so no harming of the fishes issue here. Exfoliating
is my favorite part of my skincare routine and this scrub just makes it much
exciting. I prefer using it twice a week or whenever I feel like I needed it
(when my nose is at its worst whitehead condition and I don’t have the time to
do a self-facial). Its texture is a bit watery, but not when you start
scrubbing it on your face. You’ll need to keep your face damp while you’re at
it or it will not do its job at all.
True to Crème Simon’s word, this scrub is gentle yet cleanses my face
thoroughly. There is no nook will be left untouched, thanks to its Jejuba
beads that exfoliates the dead
skin cells and removes the dirt the clogs my pores. I have a dry skin and
so far, I am not experiencing any problems while and after using it. As a
matter of fact, it leaves my
skin baby smooth and brighter after
every wash without drying it.
CrèmeSimon Lymphatic Contouring and Lifting Gel, Php2,019
I love eating instant noodles at night and
I didn’t have the slightest idea that it is one of the reasons why I sometimes
(okay, most of the time) wake up with a swollen or looking all puffy. And it’s
because of the salt. Apparently, eating food loaded with salt causes your body
to retain much water since you’re likely to feel thirsty. Thus, will make your
face swell the next day. Luckily I found the right skincare product for that.
This gel-to-oil promises to make your face
slimmer, hence the name Contouring & Lifting gel. Its texture is like a
lighter version of an oil; less greasy and less heavy. A little amount of
product is enough to cover the whole face, but be careful in dispensing the
product out as it tends to spill more than what you need.
Crème
Simon Crème Universelle, Php1,399
And lastly, the cream that started it all
– the Crème Universelle.
Crème Universelle is a lightweight cream
that leaves no sticky residue when applied on the skin. My skin was at its
worst condition possible these past few weeks - battling with dryness and
breakouts. After using the cream for a couple of days, I realized my skin has
gotten better. It soothes my skin and helps control the redness around my face and my skin feels immediately soft, radiant and
hydrated. I also love using it on my lips
as it conditions my lips almost instantly and be matte-lipstick ready.
Apparently, this cream can be used to almost every part of your body, and I have
to resist the urge to smear it all over my body and get rid of my skin dry
altogether. But since it comes in a rather small volume, I have to save every
last drop of this cream.
Final thoughts:
I am extremely happy with Crème Simon Brightening Range making my skin feel refreshed all the time, well-moisturized, and almost at its perfect condition. No wonder that this is an award winning skin care brand! Did I mention that all their products have climate-customized formula? That's actually one of the reasons why I love their products, it suits even the tropical weather of the Philippines! So no to being sticky or heavy on the skin even during the hottest weather. It's hard for me to pick a favorite among the three, but the Gentle Double Exfoliation Scrub is definitely growing on me - so love how it makes my face smooth and soft afterwards.
