Sooryehan's The Black Serum Update

In honour of my panic that it had been reformulated, here is my update post! Whilst being a very nice product that I enjoy using no end, the headline of this update is that I forgot that extracts could deliver specific results. The Black Serum has a variety of anti-inflammatory ingredients and that is likely to be the reason that it calms down redness for me. Why only The Black Serum works but nothing else must be down to the ingredients it has that other products don't or higher quality extracts than previous things I've tried with some of the same* The rest of this post is about why I'd forgotten this key fact. *A note: going back through Reddit posts, I've claimed a couple of times that other things have calmed my skin! However, a combination of drier skin, hard water and medication have totally borked my skin so now it's just The Black Serum (or other products from the range in conjunction with the serum).

Gold Sooryehan Ginseng First Essence bottle and box (also gold) on a rich blue background  Here's the link to the original post Highlights from the first review The packaging, texture and ingredients were far in advance of things I'd used before - at the time .

Sooryehan Bon Firming cream follow-up and routine thoughts

Empty Sooryehan Bon Firming cream jar with white squashy cute Kitty lamp Introduction to the follow-up  I've panned my first jar of this (I obviously have a back-up) so I thought I'd do a follow-up post.  Absolutely a non-negotiable product! I sometimes use other things, really only Illiyoon ATO Ceramide Concentrate cream, but I don't like it as much! It feels oilier, like it doesn't dry as well.  There's nothing wrong with the Illiyoon, I have just come to find that I really miss the cosmetic elegance of more premium products. Plus, ginseng! Highlights from the first impressions review & updates  Link to first impressions review Texture there's an elasticity to the cream, it is exactly the way meringue forms peaks. Have a google if you don't know what I mean by this - I found a picture that compares different meringue textures - the Sooryehan is perhaps between firm and stiff peaks.   Yes: this cream is Michelin starred meringue Agree!   Per...
