REVIEW: Crème Simon Restorative Sleeping Mask

~AG~

Crème Simon is my recent favorite skincare brand. I <3 that their products are oil-free, paraben-free, silicone-free and alcohol-free. That sounds wonderful for those with sensitive skin like me. Its non-comedogenic products are great for acne-prone skin. 

Crème Simon Restorative Sleeping Mask is a multi function skincare product. You can use it as an intensive overnight mask for a moisturizing and brightening effect. This Sleeping Mask also works as an emergency quick-fix mask. You can apply a thick layer of Crème Simon Sleeping Mask and let it penetrate the skin for 20 minutes, Then rinse or wipe off excess. For those with extremely dehydrated skin, you can combine the Sleeping Mask with Crème Simon Dermo-Hydrating Toner Mist and massage it all over your face for double hydration boost. For frequent travelers, you can use it as an inflight moisturizer on long-distance flights.Your skin will thank you for the hydrating treatment. Apparently, you can use this as a blemish treatment as well as it calms and treats pimples. 

Essential Ingredients:

• Sodium Hyaluronate is a hydrating molecule that is able to retain more water than any other natural substance. It has a smaller molecular size than the more well-known hyaluronic acid. IT can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water. This ingredient helps in defending against environmental aggressors and premature aging
• Activ-Fleur Complex is the signature ingredient in all Crème Simon products. It is a botanical elixir of 7 flowers and plants with proven brightening effects.  
• Rose, Iris and Jasmine's  pure concentrates to restore skin renewal and promote toxin elimination. These ingredients boost the skin's radiance and cell regeneration.  
• Wheat Oligosaccharides Complex brightens the skin by reducing skin pigmentation and inhibiting the cells from producing melanin. 
• Squalane is an naturally present molecule in your body. It is a moisturizing agent with anti-bacterial properties that is suitable for sensitive skin. Skin pigmentation, scars and age spots are repaired with this highly effective ingredient. 
• Aloe Vera is a hydrating and antioxidant agent that is rich in Vitamin C and B3. Popular for its soothing and calming effects on sensitive skin. 
• Trehalose is a powerful water-retention agent. It binds water to the skin to maintain optimal  moisture level.  
• Tocopherol Acetate (Vitamin E) retains moisture while protecting the top layer of the skin

This Crème Simon Sleeping Mask has a slight floral/herbal scent, which I adore. Compared to Laneige Sleeping Mask, Crème Simon Sleeping Mask's packaging is more hygienic and convenient. It comes in a squeeze tube packaging, where as Laneige Sleeping Mask comes in a tub packaging. I did not not enjoy applying Laneige Sleeping Mask because you had to use a spatula or your clean fingers to dip into the tub. Laneige Sleeping Mask had a thicker texture, and did not absorb as easily into the skin. This Crème Simon Sleeping Mask is not as thick or sticky as Laneige Sleeping Mask. With Laneige Sleeping Mask, you can literally feel a layer sitting on top of your skin. Crème Simon Restorative Sleeping Mask is not as rich, but still have decent hydrating properties. This Sleeping Mask does not cause any allergic reaction on my ultra sensitive skin. No noticeable redness, bumps or breakouts were seen! Yay!

To test the effectiveness of this product, I solely used this Sleeping Mask at night (no other moisturizer or hydrating product were used). A 20-cent amount was used for my whole face. There was no sticky or greasy feeling the next morning. My skin felt smooth and brighter. Crème Simon Restorative Sleeping Mask costs S$68 for 75 ml of product. In terms of pricing, it is not easy on the pockets. If you use this Sleeping Mask two or three times a week, a tube will lasts you at least six months. This Sleeping Mask is a good skincare product to have for those who sleep overnight with air conditioning and feel that their usual moisturizer is not hydrating enough. This Sleeping Mask will work great for sensitive, normal and combination skin types. Though, it might not be hydrating enough for those with dry skin type.
