How it works
The texture is light and fast sinking, which is what a serum needs to be to go under a moisturiser without piling up. Pressed over damp skin it settles in under a minute and leaves the surface ready for a cream on top. A dewy finish is mostly light bouncing off a smooth well hydrated surface, so glow is a texture question before it is anything else. An ampoule is the same idea at a higher strength and a shorter course, while a serum is the everyday version of it. The result you can judge yourself is how much light your skin bounces back in the mirror the next morning.
Key benefits
- Butylene Glycol sits near the top on this product's own ingredient list, a multifunctional glycol that carries moisture and helps preserve the formula.
- A brightening, sebum-regulating amide that also reinforces the skin barrier, and Niacinamide is right there in this product's ingredient list, near the top.
- On this formula's own list, Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate shows up in the first half. It is a fermented filtrate that supports a brighter, more even-looking surface.
How to use
- Use it after cleansing and toning, while the surface is still slightly damp.
- Press three or four drops over the face and neck rather than rubbing them in.
- Wait until it feels dry to the touch, then apply your moisturiser over the top.
- Do not apply it over a cream or an oil, since a light serum cannot get through a finished occlusive layer.
What is Sunday Glow Serum 37ml?
It is a targeted serum from Frankly, made for dull looking skin that wants a dewier finish without a heavy feel. It goes on after your toner and before your moisturiser, so it reaches clean skin rather than sitting on a cream. The result you can judge yourself is how much light your skin bounces back in the mirror the next morning.
Where does Sunday Glow Serum 37ml go in my routine?
It goes on after your toner and before your moisturiser, so it reaches clean skin rather than sitting on a cream. In practice: Press three or four drops over the face after your toner, then follow with your moisturiser once it has settled. Applying it out of that order is the usual reason a step seems to do nothing.
Is Sunday Glow Serum 37ml right for my skin type?
It is aimed at dull looking skin that wants a dewier finish without a heavy feel. The skin types we would put first are normal skin, dry skin and combination skin. A dewy finish is mostly about how much water the surface is holding, which is why a glow step is judged the morning after as much as on the day.
Will this pill or roll up under a moisturiser?
Pilling usually comes from applying the next layer too soon or from using too much of this one. Give it thirty seconds to settle, use three or four drops rather than a pipette full, and press the moisturiser on rather than rubbing it in. If a specific sunscreen still rolls with it, change the order of those two steps before you blame either product.
Is this Sunday Glow Serum 37ml the authentic Korean-market formula?
Yes. We stock the Frankly Korean-market formula rather than a version reformulated for US shelves. The bottle you open is the 37ml one sold on Korean shelves, with Korean-primary packaging and an intact barcode you can check yourself.

Ingredient list read from jolse.com on 10 September 2026.
27 of 27 explained
- Water solvent
- Water is the base almost every serum, toner and cream is built on. It dissolves the water-loving ingredients and sets how light the finished texture feels. On an INCI list it is usually first, which only means it is the largest single ingredient by weight.
- Glycerin humectant
- Glycerin is the most used humectant in skincare. It draws water into the outer layer of skin and holds it there, and it is one of the very few ingredients whose hydrating effect is settled science rather than marketing. Higher amounts feel tacky, which is why it is usually blended.
- Butylene Glycol humectant
- Butylene Glycol is a small glycol that does two jobs at once: it holds water in the top layer of skin and it dissolves plant extracts and actives that plain water cannot. It also thins a formula, which is why watery Korean essences lean on it.
- Propanediol humectant
- Propanediol is a plant-derived glycol used in place of propylene glycol. It hydrates, carries actives into solution, and gives a lighter, less sticky slip than glycerin at the same strength.
- Niacinamide(5%) active
- Niacinamide is vitamin B3, and it is the most studied active in Korean formulation. It is used at roughly 2 to 5 percent for the look of uneven tone and visible pores, and it is water soluble, stable and comfortable beside almost every other active, which is why it turns up in so many lists.
- Dipropylene Glycol humectant
- Dipropylene Glycol is a glycol used as a solvent and a light humectant. Its main job is keeping the rest of the formula dissolved and the texture fluid rather than adding hydration of its own.
- Boron Nitride(2%) absorbent
- A plate-like mineral powder with a notably slippery feel. It softens how light falls on skin and makes a powder or stick glide rather than drag.
- Glycereth-26 humectant
- Glycereth-26 is a modified glycerin that hydrates with far less stickiness than glycerin itself. It is a common way to load water into a formula that has to stay light.
- Ethylhexyl Palmitate emollient
- Ethylhexyl Palmitate is a palm-derived ester used as a light emollient and a solvent for pigment. It gives a smooth, non-greasy slip.
- 1,2-Hexanediol humectant
- 1,2-Hexanediol is a glycol used for two reasons: it holds water like glycerin, and it makes a formula harder for microbes to live in, so less traditional preservative is needed. Korean formulas use it heavily for that second reason.
- Cetyl Ethylhexanoate emollient
- Cetyl Ethylhexanoate is a synthetic ester used as a dry-feeling emollient. It spreads easily, leaves a silky rather than oily finish, and helps disperse pigments and UV filters evenly.
- Hydroxyacetophenone preservative booster
- Hydroxyacetophenone is an antioxidant that also strengthens a preservative system, so a formula needs less traditional preservative. Korean formulas pair it with 1,2-hexanediol constantly.
15 more explained
- Polyglyceryl-10 Oleate emulsifier
- Polyglyceryl-10 Oleate is a mild sugar-derived emulsifier and solubiliser used where a formula must stay clear.
- Carbomer thickener
- Carbomer is a synthetic polymer that only gels once a base neutralises it, which is why arginine or tromethamine sits nearby on the list. It gives the clear, non-stringy gel texture a xanthan formula cannot reach.
- Tromethamine pH adjuster
- Tromethamine neutralises acidic thickeners such as carbomer so they gel, and holds a formula near skin-friendly pH. It is used at a fraction of a percent.
- Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate ferment
- Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate is a yeast ferment filtered clear, the ingredient that made the Korean and Japanese essence category. It carries amino acids, vitamins and organic acids and is used for the look of dullness and rough texture.
- Ethylhexylglycerin preservative booster
- Ethylhexylglycerin softens skin and boosts a preservative system, which is why it is nearly always sitting beside phenoxyethanol or 1,2-hexanediol. It also cuts down the odour bacteria produce, so it turns up in deodorising products.
- Hydrogenated Lecithin emulsifier
- Hydrogenated Lecithin is lecithin with its unsaturated bonds filled in, which makes it far more stable. It emulsifies and is the standard shell for the liposomes that carry actives into the outer layer of skin.
- Xanthan Gum thickener
- Xanthan Gum is a polysaccharide made by fermenting sugar. It thickens a watery formula into a gel and holds the whole thing in suspension so nothing separates. Too much of it and a serum turns stringy, which is why it appears in fractions of a percent.
- Disodium EDTA chelator
- EDTA is a chelator: it locks up trace metal ions from water and packaging that would otherwise turn a formula cloudy, off-colour or rancid. It does nothing to skin and appears at a fraction of a percent.
- Ammonium Polyacryloyldimethyl Taurate thickener
- Ammonium Polyacryloyldimethyl Taurate is a polymer thickener that gels instantly and gives a light, silky body.
- Hyaluronic Acid humectant
- Hyaluronic Acid is a sugar chain the body already makes, and one gram of it can hold several litres of water. In a formula it is a humectant that pulls water to the surface of skin and holds it in a film, which is what makes skin look plumper while it is there.
- Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid humectant
- Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid is hyaluronic acid cut into much shorter fragments. The smaller the fragment, the further into the outer layer it can settle, which is why serums stack several sizes together instead of using one.
- Sodium Hyaluronate humectant
- Sodium Hyaluronate is the salt of hyaluronic acid, and it is what most products labelled hyaluronic actually contain. The salt dissolves more readily and the molecule is smaller, so it sits in the outer layer of skin rather than only on top of it.
- Biosaccharide Gum-1 polysaccharide
- Biosaccharide Gum-1 is a fermentation-derived sugar polymer that binds to skin and holds a moisture film in place. It gives a silky, non-tacky feel.
- Arbutin active
- Arbutin is the naturally occurring form of the same compound, from bearberry and related plants, used for the look of uneven tone. The alpha isomer is the more stable of the two.
- Hydroxyethylcellulose thickener
- Hydroxyethylcellulose is a cellulose thickener that builds a clear, smooth gel and holds the rest of the formula in suspension.
