This is my holy grail(?), I'm currently on my second bottle and it'sssss soooo good? This baby is Sulwhasoo's First Care Activating Serum Ex. I bought my first bottle aka. the picture down below, at Narita Airport when I was transiting from my home, Thailand, to USA🇺🇸. I admit buying it because I'm a hardcore k-beauty fan and also it's a brand I heard of (kinda on the higher-end side = I NEED it) as a good brand, thus, Song Hye-Kyo, one of my fav actress, the hubby of Song Joongki, is the brand ambassador of it. Another reason I bought it was because I had three hours to spare at the airport and was debating which brand to buy, Sulwhasoo or SKII...ofc...the me at that time chose the cheaper one...well...price varies on each product. Oh not to forget the packaging is limited edition for it is the new year period and the beginning of the year Dog Year (Chinese zodiac thingy).
Enough of me babbling, here's the review:
- Price
- $84 (on website - don’t really know coz I bought it at duty free in Narita Airport)
- sorry~
- but I swear there's always a promotion where you buy it at a shop or airport and you get a discount for buying a set of their products.
- I got a discount for my second-time purchase at Incheon Airport
- cheaper to buy in Korea
- Size
- 60 mL
- Definitely worth the price even though I used it up in just one semester (5 months).
- I completely emptied the bottle and even double-checked inside to see that nothing is left
- Description
- It's "an essential first-step serum formulated with JAUM Balancing Complex™ assures a glowing and healthier look by harmonizing the balance of skin."
- It contains over 3000 Korean herbal ingredients the serum is said to help hydrate and balance skin for a healthy and glowing look.
- Application
- Very easy to apply and absorbs into the skin real quick.
- How it's like
- It makes your skin looks healthy but at the same time a bit yellow because the serum is yellowish brown in color.
- its exactly the color of honey or should I say maple syrup 🍯
- It makes your skin tight (or firm?) that it makes it feels dry but believe me, its hydrating.
- The consistency isn’t that watery and smell like herbal/oriental medicine - a pleasant one.
- It helps nourish my dry skin and also help remove dulness and soon to come sign of aging.
- Cons
- When initially applied, it can cause redness
- many are allergic to it BUT many, aka. me, loves it
- It's on the pricey side
- Will I repurchase it?
- I did and will again if my stock runs out
- Where to buy
- At most airports, I remember seeing it in Chicago O'Hare Airport and IAD.
