  2. 02

    Review ingredients and skin sensitivity

    The Korean official ingredient list includes alcohol denat., fragrance and fragrance allergens. If you are sensitive to such ingredients, be cautious and postpone use on irritated skin.

  3. 03

    Cleanse gently

    Wash gently as usual and start with clean hands. The brand describes using this first-care product right after cleansing.

  4. 04

    Apply as directed

    Dispense the amount advised on your own package and spread gently over the face. Stop if you develop stinging or redness.

  5. 05

    Follow with routine moisturizer and sun protection

    Add your usual moisturizer according to skin needs and sunscreen in the daytime. A serum is optional, not a replacement for a basic routine.

✦ Helpful tips

  • 'First essence' describes this brand's intended sequence; it is not a universal skincare requirement.
  • Compare ingredient lists and availability on your market's official listing.

ⓘ Keep in mind

  • Discontinue if rash, itching or swelling occurs and seek medical advice if necessary.
  • Do not treat cosmetic anti-aging marketing as a promise of clinical treatment.
