Ginseng-Powered Radiance Serums

The First Care Activating Serum VI Supports the Skin Barrier

Luxury K-beauty brand Sulwhasoo is reintroducing its First Care Activating Serum VI with a new and improved formula that pays homage to the Korean aesthetic. This best-selling Korean serum for all skin types is now formulated with ginseng to strengthen the skin barrier and address premature visible signs of aging.

The formula boasts hydrating, radiance-boosting and visibly firming benefits, thanks to ingredients in Sulwhasoo’s proprietary herbal blend, Jaum Activator. This serum singlehandedly tackles six concerns like wrinkles, brightness, radiance and moisture barrier support to restore balanced, healthy-looking skin. As part of a clinical eight-week study on 30 women between the ages of 39 to 60, it was found that following three days of use, the skin barrier was improved, and, after four weeks, 10 signs of skin aging were improved.
