Can't live without it!

Ever since I got a sample of this and found that it worked wonders for my skin, this has been an indispensable part of my skin routine. When I run out, I can tell a difference in my skin. This stuff is legendary for a reason.

Sulwhasoo First Care Activating Serum VI

Loved this serum!! It's rich yet doesn't feel thick, heavy or oily - the way many serums do. It absorbs quickly and smells beautiful. The results are instantly noticeable, your skin feels soft and hydrated and it works well under any moisturizer. And you don't need to use a lot of product, a little goes a long way!

My new favorite MUST HAVE serum!

As a skincare junkie, I am constantly looking for products that are going to truly penetrate my skin barrier and actually work, not just sit onto of my skin. This first care activating serum does just that! Instantly when applying you can feel the hydration being poured back into your face. The bottle is very easy to use and the product comes out easily and mess free. I am able to use about 2 pumps to cover my entire face and neck. I love patting this into my face and neck and then applying my other products. First time using this serum, I noticed my skin looked and felt more plumped and hydrated. I have very dry skin and with the colder months now here, I am having to use thicker products and with this serum I am noticing that I am not having to use so much product because it truly is helping all of my other products really absurd into my face. This has become my go to and absolute favorite serum and I truly can not live without this!

Crucial product

This is a critical step of my skincare regimen. I appreciate the smell, feel, and how it primes my skin for the next steps of my skincare regimen. It's lightweight and my skin just soaks it up.

Love at first use! Real review

I originally tried this serum in the sample mini too try it out , and immediately went online to buy the full size ! I use it directly after I wash and tone my face, and it just feels so, so good on my skin . The texture is like a watery serum and my skin just absorbs it immediately making it feel so soft to the touch and quenched. I can truly see how it aids in the absorption of my serums that follow. The bottle is easy to use, dispensing the perfect amount ( I use 3 pumps). I highly recommend this product! I already have a backup on hand. I just want to add - this is an unpaid review and I bought my own product. :)
