REVIEW: Crème Simon Multi-Benefits Eye Treatment Pen

Handy Eye Treatment Pen 

~AG~
Bought this Crème Simon Multi-Benefits Eye Treatment Pen last year. Finally, tried it recently. This twist eye-roller pen is designed to perk up tired eyes. The cool metal ball claims to smooth fine lines and boost blood circulation. This best-selling Eye Treatment Pen claims to reduce puffiness and dark circles. The twist packaging allows you to control the amount you need and keeps the applicator more hygienic. This eye gel has a lightweight texture that claims to prevent "eye seeds" formation (milia). As with Crème Simon products, this Eye Treatment Pen does not contain parabens, oil, alcohol and silicone. It also contains many botanical active ingredients to brighten the eyes area. 

Crème Simon Multi-Benefits Eye Treatment Pen contains 2.5ml (0.08 fl oz) of product and costs S$25. It is pricey for a small eye gel pen. The good things about this product are that the eye gel is lightweight and the metal roller ball is cooling. The bad thing about Creme Simon Eye Treatment Pen is that they are stingy with the amount of eye gel. My Eye Treatment Pen lasted for less than a month, and I did not use it everyday! I was so surprised that the eye gel ran out so quickly, I kept twisting the pen in hopes that there will be more product. This eye gel does not go well with my under eye concealer. I noticed that my usual concealer will clump up together when I used this eye gel. A big No-No! This Eye Treatment Pen did not have enough product for me to judge whether it helps with my dark circles. For the puffiness, I feel that this eye gel did not do much for it. 

I would not recommend this Crème Simon Multi-Benefits Eye Treatment Pen. The amount of eye gel in each packaging is too little for the price. Moreover, this Eye Gel did not mix well with my must-have under eye concealer. *thumbs down*

REVIEW: Crème Simon Oxygenating Light Day Moisturizer

~AG~

Having been a Crème Simon convert recently. Their award-winning day moisturizer has been on my wishlist. It was awarded Cleo Beauty Hall of Fame Winner 2015. Crème Simon Oxygenating Light Day Moisturizer usually retails for S$95. Expensive for just 50ml of moisturizer. But fortunately, I bought it when there was a pop-up sale. The discounted price was about S$60++. Even with the discounted price, it is more costly than my all-time favorite Laneige Water Bank Essence.

Crème Simon claims in a study of 22 Asian female individuals that:
1) 100% found skin is soft and supple
2)  91% found it absorbs easily with no sticky after-feel
3) 86% found skin is brighter after 1st use
4) 82% found skin brighter, fairer and more radiant

After using this moisturizer for about a month, what can I say about this Crème Simon Oxygenating Light Day Moisturizer?
Crème Simon Oxygenating Light Day Moisturizer comes in a pump packaging. It is absorbed quickly into the skin and does not leave a heavy or sticky feeling. It has a lightweight gel-cream texture that will work great for those with oily skin type. It is also non-comedogenic, and suitable for acne prone skin. No silicones, parabens, alcohol, oil and colorings. My ultra sensitive skin did not have any adverse reaction to this moisturizer. Though, I could not notice any brightening effects of this moisturizer. More over, I cannot agree with the study results that women found their skin was brighter, fairer and more radiant.

I would not repurchase it, as it is a VERY pricey moisturizer. I feel that my HG Laneige Water Bank Essence works just as well, and it is about half the retail price of Crème Simon Oxygenating Light Day Moisturizer.

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.

REVIEW: Crème Simon UV Protector

~AG~

I just have to rave about this Crème Simon Daily Defense UV Protector SPF 50! This surprisinlgy lightweight sunscreen works great for my ultra sensitive combination skin. I am very picky when selecting a face sunscreen. A sunscreen should not be: 1) leave a white cast, 2) does not cause my skin to breakout and 3) not oily or sticky. My previous unpleasant experience with Derma RX Tinted Sunscreen left me wary of "greasy-looking" sunscreen. This Crème Simon UV Protector is definitely pricey @ S$68 for 30 ml of product. The saleslady claimed that this Crème Simon UV Protector will lasts at least 3 months. I question the legitimacy of that claim; she said that you only need a small amount for the whole face. 

So what do I LIKE about this Crème Simon UV Protector?
Firstly, it is non-sticky and does not feel oily at all. The texture is very lightweight, unlike the usual sticky sunscreen. The texture is similar to that of Crème Simon Universelle or a water-based moisturizer. Thus, this non-comodegenic sunscreen is especially suitable for Singapore's humid climate. I was very pleased with the texture as it absorbs easily into the skin. This sunscreen did not have a chemical scent, but rather, it has a light herbal scent. Finally, it does not leave the dreaded white cast. All the qualities of a great sunscreen!

Crème Simon UV Protector provides both UVA and UVB protection. It has chemical and mineral filters, and thus provide instant UV protection. The saleslady said you do not have to apply 15-30 minutes before going out in the sun. It provides immediate sun protection. This is a PLUS!

Works very well for my sensitive combination skin. Crème Simon Daily Defense UV Protector did not cause my ultra sensitive skin to breakout. There was no bumps or other adverse reaction to Crème Simon UV Protector. Will DEFINITELY repurchase this sunscreen. Highly highly recommend Crème Simon UV Protector to anyone! It is not the most affordable sunscreen on the market, but the $ paid is worth it. Not forgetting to mention that Crème Simon products are paraben-, mineral oil- and phenoxyethanol-free.

The Crème Simon brand has recently been popular with Singapore bloggers. I wondered what the fuss was all about. Chanced upon the Crème Simon counter at Robinsons Raffles City today, and decided to check out the texture of the products. This French brand's products are free of paraben, silicone, oil, alcohol, coloring and phenoxyethanol. That sounded promising for someone who has sensitive skin.

Love the very chic packaging design. Comes with 30 ml of product

The first product that I tried was the Crème Simon Crème Universelle which is an Oil-Free Brightening Moisturizer. This multi-purpose Crème Simon Universelle Oil-Free Brightening Moisturizer (S$68) contains Shea Butter, Aloe Vera, Sodium Hyaluronate and Original Crème Simon formula. This product will be especially handy for ladies who travel frequently. The scent of this Crème Universelle is very light, unlike the strong scent of Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream. In addition, the texture of Crème Universelle is non-sticky and rather lightweight. This is one of Crème Simon's best-selling products. 

30 ml 

The second product I tried was Crème Simon Daily Defense UV Protector SPF 50 (S$68). Finding a good facial sunscreen is very very difficult for me. There are so many facial sunscreens on the market, but not all work for my sensitive and acne prone skin. I am extremely careful with my sunscreen choice. Firstly, this Crème Simon Daily UV Protector has an SPF of 50. *clap clap* Secondly, the texture of this Daily UV Protector is GREAT! It does not feel oily or sticky, plus it does not leave a white cast. The Daily UV Protector absorbs quickly into the skin and does not leave a residue. When I commented that $68 is expensive for only 30 ml of product. The saleslady said that this 30ml Daily UV Protector can lasts for 4-5 months, because you only need a pea-size amount for your whole face. She also claimed that this sunscreen works instantly because it combines chemical and physical UV blockers, unlike other sunscreen where you have to wait 15-30 minutes before going out in the sun. That is a major plus! 

 75 ml

The third product I chose was Crème Simon Gentle Double Exfoliation Scrub (S$68). The saleslady mentioned that she used this Gentle Double Exfoliation Scrub everyday, but she recommended that I only use it once a week. Since weekly exfoliation is a must for my acne-prone skin, I decided to add this product to my basket. This Crème Simon Gentle Double Exfoliation Scrub basically came free because Crème Simon @ Robinsons Raffles City was having an offer. The promotion was: Buy 3 products worth $68 each, and get 1 product (worth $68) FREE. So you basically pay $204 for $272 worth of products! I think I scored a GOOD deal :D 

Not only that, but because my purchases were over $200, I received a UV Umbrella and a travel-sized kit pictured below (30 ml Micellar Water Makeup Remover, 30ml Restorative Light Night Moisturizer and 30 ml Gentle Double Exfoliation Scrub). I Love love love freebies! 

Free travel-sized kit: Micellar Water Makeup Remover, Gentle Double Exfoliation Scrub and Restorative Light Night Moisturizer

I CANNOT wait to try all these Crème Simon products especially the Daily Defense UV Protector!! I hope it works for my ultra sensitive, acne-prone skin. *cross my fingers*
