    What exactly is this? It's the 'first step/base product' before many of the Sulwhasoo skincare rituals. I apply 2 pumps of this watery serum to my face and neck, which my skin drinks up...

    I am one week into a trial size of this, and already have tiny bumps under the skin's surface, and I'm feeling drier than normal. I have no idea why I did not read the ingredients list first. ...

    I didn't notice this doing anything for my skin. I didn't break out which is good but i didn't notice any benefits at all. Would not repurchase.

    The First Care line of Sulwhasoo appears to have been created for a younger clientele, it is priced slightly lower than the Concentrated Ginseng and Timetreasure lines. That said, it is by no means...

    After the first night of applying this product, I already realized this is different. Korean skincare products are amazing. But this one is probably the best one so far. Best serum for my skin.

    I ordered samples of this due to how pricey the full size is. After using it nightly for 30 days, I noticed no difference! This is very unlike Sulwhasoo products as I've had much success with their...
