Review: A Luxury First Essence That Truly Elevates Every Skincare Routine - 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.
Review: My beloved - This is expensive. I am not the type of person to ever spend this kind of cash on skincare - but believe me when I say this is the most lovely, therapeutic, and effective product I’ve used in my skin in a long time. It’s incredibly hydrating but also sinks in so quickly. With continued use I really noticed a “vitality” to my face. My skin looked brighter, more hydrated, and generally youthful. I’ll be repurchasing this. When you apply the serum/essence, it sinks in right away. I feel as if the alcohol in this formulation is helping the ingredients penetrate more deeply, and doing the same for other products you layer on top. If you aren't a fan of alcohol, you can stay away from this. Alcohol does dehydrate skin, but Sulwhasoo seems to have included some deeply hydrating ingredients to counteract this effect. I did some research, and the effect of alcohol on skin has actually be studied quite a bit and they've found no real negative side effects, long or short term. But I don't need research to know this serum makes my skin feel so healthy. The result is a velvety, beautiful texture that sinks in to skin leaving you feeling refreshed and hydrated.
