SulwhasooFirst Care Activating Serum VI, 2.02 oz.

What It Is
A preventative first-step serum that fortifies the skin barrier, minimizes the look of fine lines, enhances hydration and radiance, and prepares skin for optimal absorption of the products that follow.
What It Does
Sulwhasoo’s First Care Activating Serum is a lightweight, fast-absorbing formula designed to prevent—rather than correct— visible signs of aging. At the heart of this advanced serum is the potent synergy of 500-Hour Aged Ginseng Extract (LYMPHANAX™) and a proprietary Korean Herb Extract blend. Together, they strengthen the skin barrier, boost hydration, and help defend against environmental stressors to minimize visible fine lines.
Its silky texture absorbs instantly into damp skin, delivering immediate hydration while improving dryness, dullness, and overall tone, making it the essential first step in any high-performance skincare ritual.

How to Use
After your morning and evening cleansing ritual, apply three pumps to damp skin with your fingertips and press serum into skin with an open palm for increased absorption.

Unlock skin longevity with Korea’s No.1 Serum Brand**.
