Sulwhasoo First Care Activating Serum 3oz

I first fell in love with the serum when I tried their mini trial kit was absolutely amazing. I had to grab the full size! It is very lightweight and a little goes a long way. It will last you a long time! The serum is light it doesn’t feel heavy. You won’t notice that you’re applying it. It isn’t sticky or tacky feeling it absorbs into your skin really fast/easy. I personally have oily skin and it doesn’t add to that. I don’t feel like there’s any greasy oily feeling from the serum either. It helps my skin get the hydration that it needs And definitely helps to give a glow after continuous usage.

The Sulwhasoo First Care Activating Serum is an absolute gem in my skincare routine! From the moment I started using it, I noticed a significant improvement in the texture and radiance of my skin. The serum feels lightweight and absorbs quickly, leaving my skin feeling deeply hydrated and nourished without any greasiness. It adds a natural glow that makes my complexion look healthy and revitalized. I love how it preps my skin, enhancing the effectiveness of the products I use afterward. The herbal scent is calming and adds to the overall luxurious experience. My skin feels smoother, looks brighter, and is more balanced since incorporating this serum. It’s worth every penny!

✨ Sulwhasoo's First Care Activating Serum was developed to be used as your first step after cleansing. I've been skipping the toner using this instead. It helps strengthen your weakened skin barrier aids in absorbing the ingredients that follow. It uses a proprietary complex of ginseng other herbs to strengthen the skin barrier to reveal visibly healthy, youthful skin. ✨ I really enjoy this serum! It goes on so nice and lightweight, it absorbs super fast it doesn't leave my face sticky at all! The scent is beautiful relaxing. Also, you really can't beat this packaging. It's so cool! I think I might just switch from using toners, at least for a while, because I'm definitely diggin this serum. Applying it feels like extra self-care or something. It's a Holy Grail ... More✨ Sulwhasoo's First Care Activating Serum was developed to be used as your first step after cleansing. I've been skipping the toner using this instead.

I was gifted this serum and I enjoy it so far . After washing my face I apply like 1 pumps into my palm and massage it on my skin . It’s a famous skin care brand in Korea and I’ve been wanting to try it . It’s lightly scented and the texture is super light . It absorbs into skin really fast leaving no greasy or sticky feeling . Infused with ginseng extract , a precious herb that’s being used for a long time , this serum is to believed to give skin a smoother healthier younger looking . It feels good after applied. It’s gentle enough not to irritate my skin cuz you know when you try out new product you might get reactions but not with this serum . I will keep using it and waiting for the improvements.

This serum transforms skin to its youthful appearance. 🍃Uses a form of rare and highly concentrated ginseng saponin to rejuvenate skin and address visible signs of aging. This serum is uber popular for a reason, and using it for a few weeks I have definitely reaped the benefits. The results are not just impressive but also immediate. This slightly thicker consistency serum, absorbs into the skin easily, and gives you instant hydration. After the first use my skin felt supple. It also gave my skin a lovely glow. After using for about a week I could tell a difference in my skin texture. More healthy and radiant looking. I had been dealing with a lot of dryness through summertime, plus lack luster looking skin. Now when I look in the mirror I’m amazed. Gone is the dryness, the dullness I’d been seeing. No wonder this serum is so popular at fighting skin concerns because my skin looks and feels marvelous. Adding a serum like this can be a game changer to your skincare routine. I didn’t realize how much my skin could benefit from adding this in. I’m always on the lookout for products that actually work, do what they claim to and this serum is one of them. If your looking for an all around anti-aging serum to liven up your complexion, give you that radiant, healthy looking skin then this is a fabulous choice. The only downside is the price, at $89 you do get 2oz, which you only need a small amount to cover your entire face and will last a while. It is on the pricy side for some but it’s a good investment in your skincare.

When I first started using this product, it was a gift and I wasn't sure what it was for or what it would do. After a few weeks, I started noticing that my skin just looked healthier than normal. It's hard to explain because it didn't really do anything targeted, but my skin somehow just looked more youthful, hydrated, energized... The best word I can use is healthy. I assumed I was just having a good skin phase. Ran out of this serum and hadn't planned to buy again. A few weeks after that, I kept thinking my skin looked dull, not as bright, not as healthy, but I couldn't pinpoint exactly what was wrong or why. Something just seemed... Off. I started thinking and remembered this serum. I bought it again and shortly after, my skin came back to life.

But it does have something special about it. I would definitely call this a luxury add on type of product. Because it's an addition. It's one of those things that if you can afford it then yes buy it and if not then that's ok too. But it is nice to have. It's a 1st step and supposedly makes every step after that work better for your skin. Hence the enhanced look of skin when using it.

Glowing booster

Sulwhasoo First Care Activating Serum VI is the latest formulation of it's kind. This one feels like a really hydrating essence on my face and neck. It has a thick essence consistency out of the bottle but feels like a drink of water on my skin. It absorbs quickly and dries down to a very soft, smooth texture. It makes my next products perform with a boost of prolonged moisture and brightness. I can tell the difference on days I skipped the serum because the effects didn't last until night. My skin is glowing!I feel that any skin type will benefit from this except sensitive skin, rosacea, etc.

Great Addition to my Routine

I debated this one before trying—I didn’t really think I needed to add ANOTHER step to my already robust skincare routine… but on the other hand, I invest a lot of money into this routine, so the thought of adding something that would help my skin absorb all of my other products better was very appealing to me. I gave it a try and was so happy that I did. This really did seem to amplify my skincare routine. I did add to both my morning and evening routine. I was a little unclear if I should do this before or after toning, but I did ultimately end up using it after. The product itself feels very luxurious—like something that would be applied during a facial. It is soothing and lightweight. It does have a kind of dishwasher soapy smell to it—I also own a Sulwhasoo ... MoreI debated this one before trying—I didn’t really think I needed to add ANOTHER step to my already robust skincare routine… but on the other hand, I invest a lot of money into this routine, so the thought of adding something that would help my skin absorb all of my other products better was very appealing to me.

I have dry skin with uneven texture and I felt like this was a good product to address both issues. I am glad I incorporated this into my routine!

Great step for skincare

I love when products deliver a beautiful usage experience, and this Sulwhasoo First Care Activating Serum absolutely hit the spot. From the beautiful bottle to the grounding herbal medicine scent to the water-like texture, it’s a joy to use.The scent is truly calming for me, breathing it in as part of my evening routine is a wonderful way to end the day. It’s very herbaceous and reminds me of an essential oil blend. On the bright side, the scent does dissipate quickly as the product melts into the skin.The golden elixir is lightweight and runny; it melts quickly into the skin, dries to the touch within minutes, and leaves zero residue behind, which is a huge win. The brand recommends warming two to three pumps of the serum in your hands and gently pressing it into ... MoreI love when products deliver a beautiful usage experience, and this Sulwhasoo First Care Activating Serum absolutely hit the spot.

It has a light texture and is almost like water, with an amber color.It seems contradictory that adding an extra layer of skincare would help subsequent layers absorb better, but it works. My toner and serums seem to absorb quicker and leave less of a film when I use the Sulwhasoo activating serum. This was slightly harder to notice, but I’ve noticed that the rest of my products work harder when I use the Sulwhasoo serum.My skin just feels more moisturized and has a bit more glow when I use this. I didn’t notice a difference in fine lines either way though. So if you’re in your 20’s, as I was when I first tried the Sulwhasoo Activating Serum, you’re going to be disappointed. But as we get older and our skin gets drier, duller, and more fine lines, this product can be just the boost your skincare routine needs.Gifted by Sulwhasoo.

Has much potential...

This is the 'first step/base product' before many of the Sulwhasoo skincare rituals. I apply 2 pumps of this watery serum to my face and neck, which my skin drinks up immediately. It's not one of those that sits around waiting to be absorbed. I noticed a brightening effect within just a couple of days (especially when used before Snowise Brightening Water and Serum) and also a slight reduction in my skins' oil production - something I was not expecting. But I must mention the reduction is only slight, not huge and I still need to use blotting sheets by late afternoon time.There's some really good 'herbal' ingredients in First Care Activating Serum, and unfortunately some really bad ones too. How's 'alcohol' for you, at second position on the ingredients list? Not ... MoreThis is the 'first step/base product' before many of the Sulwhasoo skincare rituals.

Luckily I didn't experience any irritation or breakout, but I'm not confident I'd be saying the same thing if I was to use this long term. It's a shame, this product holds a lot of potential, with just a couple of minor adjustments to the ingredients it could be something truly special.
