Sulwhasoo first care activating serum review

After slacking for a couple of weeks (months maybe :P) finally I'm back here for some reviews. (Gotta turn this into my beauty blog I guess *evil grin*)

What I'm gonna review today is the all famous sulwhasoo first care activating serum! *drum rolls*

Well I came across this brand long long time ago, it's a renowed brand in Korea, but it's a little pricey, (although it's well worth the money :D) I believe not many in Malaysia has heard about it. Sulwhasoo is a skincare brand which claims to have used only natural ingredients in their formula, especially traditional herbs (Chinese herbs), with their range of products targeting women aged 25 and above, tho they do have some products which can be used by young ladies age less than 25 ;)

There are only 3 sulwhasoo counters in Parkson Malaysia, namely Gurney Penang, Pavillion KL, and 1 Utama, which makes it not widely available in the market, apart from the price factor.

It's believed that traditional Chinese herbs, if used in skincare, are able to balance the 'qi' (or known as 'energy' in English) of the skin, giving a radiant and flawless complexion. 

Enough of the stories, so here are the photos!

The box.

The back of the box. Yeah that's the price tag.

The ingredient list. In multiple language.

The bottle. Sleek design with matte glass. The volume is only 60ml.

After removing the cap. It's a pump bottle.

Squeezed a little bit into my hand. It's light brown in colour, light texture, and easily absorbed by the skin.

I bought it while they're having promotion, so I got a set of trial size skincare kits for free, together with a pouch. Pouch is not shown here.

Freebies!

The back of the box. A list of what's inside the box. U can actually get this trial kit at RM59 from Hermo. ( http://www.hermo.my/mall/2535-sulwhasoo-雪花秀-basic-kit-4-items.html?ucf=search-product-photo ) perfect for travelers or trial use (it's stated there not for sale by the way)

So here's the instruction on how u should use sulwhasoo first care activating serum:

After cleansing your face and pat it try with towel, squeeze a little bit of first care activating serum on your hand. Rub it in between your hands and apply it on your face. After applying the serum, rub your hands together to warm them up, then place them on yr face. The heat will assist the absorption of the serum. After it's well absorbed, continue with normal skincare regime.

U don't expect instant effect with sulwhasoo, same as u don't expect to be cured by Chinese medicine  just after 1 dose. Use it continuously for at least one month to see your skin regain it's vitality. You'll see your skin become healthier, more hydrated, brighter and pimples that pop up will subside easily without any medication.

*Anything that gives instant effect shouldn't be used on daily basis, due to the active ingredients in their formula, prolonged continuous use might trigger some unwanted adverse effects.*

Rating: 4.7 stars, great product, but pricey.

Price: RM250, with freebies.
