This is a bi-phase serum — use it after toner
In a K-beauty routine, serum comes after toner and before moisturizer. This is a bi-phase formula with separate water and oil layers, so it's important to shake the bottle well before each use to blend them together. For best absorption, apply it after prepping your skin with a cleanser and toner from the same line.
Safe for morning and evening use
Even though it contains AHA (exfoliating), BHA (pore-clearing), and PHA (gentle resurfacing), the serum format keeps the concentration gentle enough for daily use. That said, if your skin feels sensitive, stick to evening application only, and always follow up with SPF in the morning.
Adjust the amount based on your skin type
Shake the bottle well to mix the water and oil layers. For normal to dry skin, use about 1/3 of a dropper; for oily skin, 1/4 is usually enough. Warm the serum between your palms, then gently press it into your face and neck until fully absorbed.
Routine pairings by skin concern
- Dehydrated oily skin: Use this serum on its own after a lightweight toner, or finish with a light hydrating cream
- Acne-prone skin: Pair it with the toner and cream from the same line for balanced oil and moisture control
- Extra dry days: Layer a rich moisturizer over the serum to lock in hydration and prevent moisture loss
Precautions when using acid-based products
Because this contains AHA, BHA, and PHA, layering it with retinol on the same day may cause irritation. If you're new to acids, start by using it every 2–3 days and monitor how your skin responds. The formula is non-comedogenic and dermatologist-tested for sensitivity, but if you experience redness or stinging, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist.
