Ezekiel Shirim
EZEKIEL's Shirim line covers two distinct but complementary product families: the lightweight steps of the 24K Gold Prestige routine (toner, essence, elastic cream) and the Ultra Hydrating Essence Mask sheet mask collection in five botanical varieties. What unites them is a focus on deep hydration and rapid absorption, making Shirim the water-side of EZEKIEL's skincare philosophy.

EZEKIEL Shirim Skincare Guide
EZEKIEL's Shirim name encompasses the hydration-first half of the brand's range. It includes the lighter-texture steps of the premium 24K Gold Prestige routine and a family of botanical sheet masks designed to deliver intensive moisture in 15 to 20 minutes. Whether you are building a full routine or targeting a single step, the Shirim lineup prioritizes immediate skin plumping and long-lasting moisture retention.
What Shirim Means in the EZEKIEL Range
EZEKIEL divides its 24K Gold Prestige range into two sub-lines based on texture weight. Shirim covers the water-dominant, lighter steps: toner, essence, and elastic cream. The companion Shemrim line covers the oil-dominant, richer steps: ampoule and emulsion. Both sub-lines share the same 24K gold and peptide complex, but Shirim products are designed for quicker absorption and layering flexibility.
The Shirim name also extends to the Ultra Hydrating Essence Mask range, which carries the same hydration-first philosophy in sheet mask format.
Shirim Ultra Hydrating Essence Mask Varieties
The sheet mask range comes in five botanical formulations:
- Tomato - brightening and antioxidant-rich; lycopene supports uneven tone.
- Vitamin - vitamin C and B complex blend for radiance and fine-line support.
- Cucumber - soothing and cooling; ideal after sun exposure or for redness-prone skin.
- Aloe - classic calming extract; suitable for daily use and sensitive skin.
- Green Tea - polyphenol antioxidants with a light astringent effect for pore appearance.
- Royal Jelly - nourishing and firming; suited to dry and mature skin.
Each mask uses the same high-absorption essence carrier, so the choice between varieties is primarily ingredient preference rather than format difference.
Shirim 24K Gold Prestige Products
The Shirim branch of the 24K Prestige lineup includes three steps:
- Toner 120ml - the first active layer after cleansing; press into skin with palms for best uptake rather than wiping with a cotton pad.
- Essence 35ml - concentrated gold and peptide delivery in a watery serum texture; apply five to six drops and pat gently.
- Elastic Cream 50ml - lighter-textured cream step that provides surface hydration and supports the emollient Shemrim emulsion when used as a routine.
How to Use the Ultra Hydrating Essence Masks
Apply the mask over clean, dry skin after your toner step. Leave on for 15 to 20 minutes, then remove and pat in any remaining essence rather than rinsing. Follow with your usual serum or moisturizer. Using the mask before the essence step rather than after means you get the most absorption from the serum layer that follows. Refrigerate masks for an extra calming effect on warm days or after outdoor activity.
Combining Shirim with Shemrim Products
Shirim and Shemrim are designed to be used together as a complete routine. The typical layering order is: toner (Shirim) then essence (Shirim) then ampoule (Shemrim) then emulsion (Shemrim) then elastic cream (Shirim) or the regular cream. In practice, the elastic cream and emulsion serve similar occlusive roles, so most users choose one or the other as a final step rather than stacking both.
Which Skin Types Benefit Most from Shirim
The Shirim hydration-focus products suit all skin types that need a water-layer boost. Oily and combination skin types can rely primarily on Shirim steps and skip the richer Shemrim emulsion. Dry skin benefits most from the full Shirim plus Shemrim routine. The sheet mask range, particularly the Aloe and Cucumber variants, is gentle enough for daily use by sensitive skin types.
How Often to Use the Sheet Masks
The Ultra Hydrating Essence Masks can be used two to four times per week as an intensive hydration step. Daily use is safe for the Aloe and Cucumber variants. The Vitamin and Tomato masks are best used three times per week if you have active sensitivity, as the brightening actives can occasionally cause transient flushing on reactive skin. The Royal Jelly mask works well as a weekly treatment for deeply nourished skin.

Frequently asked questions
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What products are in the EZEKIEL Shirim collection?
The Shirim collection includes the 24K Gold Prestige Toner (120ml), Essence (35ml), and Elastic Cream (50ml), plus the Ultra Hydrating Essence Mask in six botanical varieties: Tomato, Vitamin, Cucumber, Aloe, Green Tea, and Royal Jelly.
What is the difference between Shirim and Shemrim in the EZEKIEL range?
Shirim covers the lighter-textured, water-dominant steps (toner, essence, elastic cream) while Shemrim covers the richer, oil-dominant steps (ampoule, emulsion). Both sub-lines share the same 24K gold and peptide actives; the split is about texture and absorption speed rather than different ingredients.
What is the difference between the Shirim sheet mask varieties?
All six masks use the same essence carrier. The differences are in their botanical active: Tomato adds lycopene for brightening, Vitamin provides a C and B complex, Cucumber and Aloe focus on soothing and calming, Green Tea delivers polyphenol antioxidants with mild astringency, and Royal Jelly adds nourishing and firming properties for dry or mature skin.
How often can I use the Ultra Hydrating Essence Masks?
Two to four times per week is typical. Aloe and Cucumber variants are gentle enough for daily use. Vitamin and Tomato are better used three times per week for sensitive skin as the brightening actives can cause transient flushing on reactive skin types.
When in my routine do I apply the Shirim Essence Mask?
Apply after cleansing and toner but before serums or moisturizer. Leave the mask on for 15 to 20 minutes, remove, then pat in any excess essence. Continue with your essence, ampoule, and cream steps as normal.
How should I apply the Shirim 24K Gold Prestige Toner?
Press the toner into skin using clean palms rather than wiping with a cotton pad. This reduces waste, avoids friction on the skin barrier, and improves absorption of the gold and peptide actives. Use after cleansing, morning and evening, before the essence step.
Which skin types are the Shirim products best for?
The hydration-focused Shirim steps suit all skin types. Oily and combination types can rely on Shirim products alone and skip the richer Shemrim emulsion. Dry skin benefits most from using Shirim alongside the Shemrim steps for a complete routine. The Aloe and Cucumber masks are especially well suited to sensitive skin.
Can I refrigerate the Shirim sheet masks?
Yes. Refrigerating the masks before use gives a cooling, vasoconstricting effect that helps reduce puffiness and redness. This is particularly effective with the Cucumber and Aloe variants after sun exposure or on mornings when the skin appears puffy. Do not freeze the masks as this can damage the sheet material and active ingredients.
Do I need both the Shirim Elastic Cream and the Shemrim Emulsion?
They serve a similar occlusive purpose, though the elastic cream is lighter and better for daytime while the emulsion is richer and more suited to nighttime. Most users choose one or the other as a final moisturizer step rather than layering both, unless the skin is very dry.
Are Shirim products on skinsli authentic EZEKIEL products?
Yes. skinsli sources all EZEKIEL products including the Shirim range directly from authorized Korean distributors. Products ship from Korea and include original Korean labelling. We do not sell grey-market or third-party reseller stock.
What makes the Royal Jelly mask different from the others?
Royal Jelly is a protein and fatty acid-rich secretion that provides nourishing, firming actives not present in the botanical extract masks. It is particularly suited to dry and mature skin that needs richer conditioning alongside hydration. It works well as a weekly intensive treatment alongside lighter daily masks.
