Sulwhasoo First Care Activating Serum VI 30ml

How it works

First Care Activating Serum VI 30ml is Sulwhasoo's take on the serum step. On its own ingredient list, Betaine sits at position 4 of 51 on the ingredient list, a gentle humectant and skin-conditioning ingredient common in Korean cleansers. Adenosine sits at position 17 of 51 on the ingredient list, a wrinkle-care ingredient common in Korean anti-aging formulas. Madecassoside sits at position 27 of 51 on the ingredient list, a centella-derived compound used to support a calmer-looking complexion. 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid sits at position 31 of 51 on the ingredient list, vitamin C in its pure acid form, used for brightening and antioxidant support. Sulwhasoo is a heritage Korean luxury house built around fermented Korean red ginseng and hanbang (traditional herbal) formulation, and this formula carries that character through serum format rather than a stripped-down version of it. It belongs to the serum step, applied after toner and before moisturizer, and what it does for skin is best judged after it has had time to settle in, rather than by a single application. This is the Korean-market formula of first care activating serum vi 30ml, the version sold on shelves in Korea rather than one reworked for a different market.
