Sulwhasoo First Care Eye Serum 2026: five checks for the ceramic tip, cap and refill
This 20mL Korean-brand eye serum has a ceramic applicator. Pull the cap straight off, apply gently and reuse the ceramic tip correctly for refills.
Sulwhasoo announced its First Care Activating Eye Serum in Korea March 31, 2026, with Korean sales from April. It is a targeted eye-area serum distinct from the brand's First Care Activating Serum VI and First Care Mist. The US manufacturer's instructions identify a 20mL product with a ceramic massage applicator; the ordinary cap is pulled straight off without twisting, while a separate refill process requires unscrewing the ceramic tip. Treat Korean and US labels as market-specific if they differ. Company statements on darkness, puffiness and elasticity draw on brand tests involving 33 adult women in November–December 2025 and do not establish any individual medical effect. The brand's April 14 2026 official film illustrates the product campaign, not independent clinical evidence.

02
Pull the cap, do not twist it
The US Sulwhasoo how-to and Korean product note say remove the rear label and pull the cap straight off. Do not twist the cap itself; refill replacement uses a different twisting procedure.
-
03
Use a small amount on the tip
The maker suggests dispensing about a rice-grain amount onto the ceramic tip. Start cautiously if you have delicate skin and never push product into your eyes.
-
04
Glide gently, inner eye area outward
The US official directions say to guide the applicator from the inner part of the under-eye area outward with light pressure, lifting at the outer edge. Keep away from the lash line and mucosa; tap leftover product around the orbital bone.
-
05
Reuse the tip correctly with refills
For the compatible refill, the US guide says remove the ceramic applicator by twisting counterclockwise, then fix it onto the refill clockwise. Do not use the refill alone; store the assembled package upright to avoid leaking.

- This is not treatment for ocular disease, allergic reactions or medical causes of dark circles.
