Throughout our history, Sulwhasoo has continued to innovate by infusing traditional wisdom with modern science to deliver our most advanced skin solutions. In light of these innovations, we have been advancing our products to enhance their efficacy, and offer our most cutting-edge formulations for our customers.
The advanced First Care Activating Serum features our new JAUM Activator™, a masterfully blended complex of 5 precious herbs that improve the look of skin’s hydration, brightness, radiance, translucency, visible wrinkles, and moisture barrier. The new formula still delivers everything the previous formula offered, but with improved anti-aging benefits that helps make your skin look more radiant than ever.
Through data mining research, we found a new golden ratio blend for the same original 5 signature ingredients that creates Sulwhasoo's most effective anti-aging benefits yet. To maximize the benefits of this precious blend of herbs, we first extract Peony and Rehmannia individually and mix them together before adding in the extracts of Sacred lotus, White Lily, and Solomon's. This specific method allows for optimal (or Ideal) extraction of the anti-aging benefits of each ingredient.
The new formula still delivers everything the previous formula offered, but with improved, added benefits! It still hydrates, nourishes, reduces visible fine lines, and boosts the absorption of any product applied afterwards. The new formula has improved anti-aging benefits that helps strengthens your skin's moisture barrier at the first step of your routine.
Sulwhasoo's unique and innovative "First Step Serum" is designed to absorb deeply and rapidly right after cleansing to deliver our best kept skincare secret from Korea.
First Care Activating Serum is dermatology and allergy tested, suitable for all skin types. However, if you are pregnant woman or have sensitive skin, we recommend you consult your physician before making any changes to your daily routine as well as a performing patch testing on your forearm.
The pump is not recyclable, but you can recycle the rest. The parts can be sorted as follows: bottle (with pump removed) recycled as glass and the cap recycled as plastic.
