sum37 Creams: Buying Guide by Line and Concern

sum37 makes creams across five distinct lines, each targeting a different skin concern. The 20+ products in this collection span the Thyme Energy, Perfentarift, Blossom Garden, Water Full-time, and Breathable ranges, plus eye and hand cream formats.

How sum37 fermentation science appears in its creams

sum37 uses slow fermentation of 37 natural ingredients as the base for its formulations. In creams, fermented actives are incorporated at a higher concentration than in toners or essences, and they deliver the bulk of the treatment benefit at this thicker, longer-contact step. The fermentation process converts larger botanical molecules into smaller, more permeable compounds that reach the deeper epidermal layers more effectively than their unfermented equivalents.

This fermentation base is shared across all sum37 lines; the distinction between lines is the additional active layered on top of the fermentation complex.

Thyme Energy creams: three options in the line

The Thyme Energy line has three cream formats. The Sweet Cream 200 ml is the largest-volume, general-purpose moisturizing finish in the Thyme Energy routine. The Bright Luminous Cream 50 ml adds a brightening-specific active profile for dull or uneven skin. The Moist Firming Cream 80 ml combines moisture delivery with firming, targeting the loss of both hydration and bounce that appears together in skin showing early aging.

Use the Sweet Cream as an everyday moisturizer; switch to the Bright Luminous when tone is the priority, or to the Moist Firming when skin needs both firming support and hydration in one step.

Perfentarift Intense Firming Cream 50 ml

The Perfentarift Intense Firming Cream (also spelled Permentarift in some listings) is sum37's dedicated firming cream. It uses a concentrated firming active complex derived from fermented botanical extracts targeting visible firmness loss and elasticity reduction. The intense designation indicates a higher active load than the standard formulation.

At 50 ml, one jar lasts approximately two months at daily evening use. This is the recommended cream step if skin shows clear firmness loss along the jaw or cheeks.

Blossom Garden Moisturizing Cream 50 ml

The Blossom Garden Moisturizing Cream 50 ml is from sum37's Blossom Garden line, a softer and more fragrant-floral product family than the treatment-oriented Thyme Energy or Perfentarift lines. It prioritizes daily moisture without an intensive treatment focus.

The Blossom Garden Eye Cream 20 ml pairs with the face cream for a matching routine. These products are suited to skin that needs everyday hydration without the active load of the treatment lines - maintenance skincare for skin in good condition.

Water Full-time No Water Gel Cream 50 ml

The Water Full-time No Water Gel Cream uses a gel-cream texture, lighter than the standard creams in the range. The No Water designation in Korean beauty typically refers to a formula built on hyaluronic acid or plant-derived water sources rather than conventional water as the base. The result is a more concentrated hydration delivery in a lighter, faster-absorbing texture.

This format suits oily or combination skin that finds standard creams too heavy, or anyone who prefers a gel texture in warmer months. At 50 ml, the size is consistent with the other premium cream formats in the sum37 range.

Breathable Microactive Soft Fit Cream

The Breathable Microactive Soft Fit Cream uses a micro-texture technology that provides moisture while maintaining a light, airy feel on the skin surface. The soft fit designation refers to how the cream blends into skin without creating a heavy or sticky film - useful for layering under makeup.

This format is a good daily cream for normal to combination skin where comfort and non-heaviness are priorities. It is the most makeup-compatible cream in the range due to its texture.

Eye creams and the Thyme Energy Hand Cream

The Permentarift Rejuvenating Eye Cream 25 ml and Blossom Garden Moisturizing Eye Cream 20 ml both address the eye area, but from different lines. The Permentarift Eye Cream uses the firming line's concentrated complex around the orbital area. The Blossom Garden Eye Cream is a gentler, hydrating eye formula from the moisturizing line.

The Thyme Energy Hand Cream Citrus Herb 60 ml is the only hand product in the range, using the thyme fermentation base in a hand cream format with a citrus-herb fragrance. It suits daily hand use and is packaged in a standard 60 ml tube.

  • Sweet Cream 200 ml is the general daily moisturizer for the Thyme Energy line. Bright Luminous Cream 50 ml adds a brightening active for dullness and tone unevenness. Moist Firming Cream 80 ml combines hydration and firming support. If tone is your concern, choose Bright Luminous. If you need both moisture and firmness, choose Moist Firming.

  • The Perfentarift Intense Firming Cream is for skin with visible firmness loss and elasticity reduction. It is suited to skin in the 35-50+ age range that has noticed softening of the jawline or cheek area. The intense concentration makes it more potent than the Moist Firming variant from the Thyme Energy line.

  • Yes. The gel-cream texture is lighter than sum37's standard creams and absorbs faster without a heavy residue. It suits oily and combination skin, or anyone who wants a lighter moisturizer in warm months. The concentrated hydration delivery compensates for the lighter texture.

  • Yes. The Breathable Microactive Soft Fit Cream is the most makeup-compatible option in the range due to its light, non-sticky texture. Let it absorb for 30-60 seconds before applying primer or foundation. It does not pill or migrate under makeup during the day.

  • The Permentarift Rejuvenating Eye Cream 25 ml uses the firming line's concentrated complex around the eye area, targeting fine lines and firmness loss. The Blossom Garden Moisturizing Eye Cream 20 ml is a gentler hydrating formula from the maintenance line, suited to basic moisture support around the eyes without intensive treatment actives.

  • The 200 ml Sweet Cream is the largest-volume cream in the sum37 range and provides the lowest cost per ml among the Thyme Energy creams. For daily use as the main moisturizer step, it lasts approximately three to four months, making it the most economical choice within the Thyme Energy line.

  • The Hand Cream uses a citrus-herb fragrance profile combining the Thyme Energy line's thyme botanical base with a brightening citrus note. The result is a fresh, slightly herbal scent closer to a clean botanical fragrance than a floral or powdery one. It is lighter than the Sweet Cream and suited to daytime hand use.
