## Description

What It Is: A powerhouse serum that addresses the look of existing fine lines while strengthening skin to help prevent future visible signs of aging. 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. Unlock skin longevity with Korea’s No.1 Serum Brand**. Key Ingredients: 500-Hour Fermented Ginseng*: Supports a healthy skin barrier, helping visibly improve fine lines and wrinkles. Korean Herb Extract: A proprietary blend of five Korean herbs that strengthens the skin barrier and helps to improve hydration, soothe, and visibly address signs of aging. Vitamin C Derivative: Gentler form that delivers long lasting antioxidant protection. Suggested 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. *Ginseng that has been fermented for the optimal period of 500-hours (20-days) to maximize Saponin G17, a key compound that strengthens the skin barrier. **Based on 2023 sales data of the essence category in Korea, data source: Kantar Worldpanel (Copyright © World™, Kantar 2024) ***Instrumental result, 30 women, with daily use " ****Home usage test survey, 600 women, with daily use

Review: Zero result - After one month continusely use no result, very disaponited
Review: I’m 52 and post-menopausal with mature, dry skin, and Sulwhasoo First Care Activating Serum is one of the most important products in my entire skincare routine. I already own the full-size bottle and use it daily, but I purchased this mini specifically for travel because the full bottle is quite large and I’m taking a three-week trip. This is not a product I’m willing to skip, even for a short time. This is a true first-step activating serum that preps the skin and dramatically improves how the rest of your skincare performs. It delivers immediate hydration, softness, and a subtle plumping effect, and over time it helps improve skin tone, texture, and overall radiance. On my mature, post-menopausal skin—which tends to be drier, more fragile, and less resilient—this serum feels strengthening and balancing, and my skin consistently looks calmer, smoother, and more luminous when I use it. The texture is lightweight, silky, and absorbs instantly with no stickiness, making it ideal for layering. It creates a beautiful hydrated base so that serums and creams applied afterward seem to penetrate better and work more effectively. It also helps support the skin barrier, which is especially important for mature skin and for anyone using actives like retinoids or exfoliating acids. This is an excellent product for anyone serious about skincare, particularly those with mature, dry, dehydrated, or stressed skin who want a refined, healthy glow rather than a heavy or greasy finish. It’s luxurious, elegant, and genuinely functional—not just a prestige brand name. The mini size is perfect for travel or for anyone who wants to try this iconic serum before committing to the full size. A little goes a long way so even the mini bottle is a great value. For me, this is a holy grail foundational step that I will continue to repurchase. It elevates every routine and truly lives up to its reputation.
