Have you heard of Crème Simon? The french skincare brand, Crème Simon, was founded by a gifted young apothecary called Joseph Simon, in France in 1980, after he made a breakthrough discovery of a pure concoction of seven carefully selected flowers and plants with incredible healing properties. His humble remedy soon became Crème Simon, the era’s most coveted beauty treatment – prized by film stars; sold out in Paris, New York, and the Far East Orient; and passed down from mothers to daughters as their secret to beautiful skin.

Last month, for Valentine’s Day, the Crème Simon Singapore team carefully curated a box of joy and love for me, giving me the chance to explore some of the bestsellers from the brand! The first thing I noticed when I opened this boxful of surprises was the distinct floral scent that belongs to all Crème Simon products! I can’t quite describe the scent but you’ll know what I mean when you encounter it yourself.

Because of my sensitive skin, I could only test these products one at a time in order not to disrupt my general skincare routine.
