this is the last item from the basic kit set that i got from purchasing the bloomstay set. yes, i finally bought sulwhasoo products after hesitating forever. i guess the pandemic made me buy things i never bought before. but that doesn't mean that i'm not into drugstore products anymore. i still believe that you don't have to pay bucks to get result, but i'm curious about sulwhasoo. i've tried their famous FCAS and i do like it, but i don't like the bloomstay cream that i tried recently. so let's see how this one goes.

the packaging: since i got this in set, it comes in a white/yellow box with slider to place all the products inside. at the back of the box there's a list of everything inside the set. all other products in the basic set comes in white/yellow combination except for this cream. i guess it's understandable since this is the only product from other line. this is from the concentrated ginseng line. all the products from this line come in bronzy/orange theme. the cream comes in bronzy/orange color combination plastic tub. it only comes in 5 ml just like the bloomstay cream mini that i've tried before.

the scent: all products in basic set has sulwhasoo's signature ginseng scent but most of them are quite subtle (except for the eye cream, that smells a bit stronger). but this cream has the strongest ginseng scent among all. even my son told me that i smell when i put this cream on my face. after few uses i already get used to the scent.

the product: i thought the cream would be quite thick, but i was wrong. it was an ivory cream but the texture is like thicker emulsion. not as thick as the bloomstay cream but thicker than the basic emulsion. it's easy to spread around and it leaves glowy finish. it doesn't feel tacky, but you can feel moisture all over your face after putting the cream on.

the result: well, i do like how it makes my skin glowing at night before i went to bed. and the cream is still there when i wash my face the next morning. i was quite surprise that the cream is moisturizing even though it's not super thick. i tried to alternate using anti aging serum in the afternoon and just this cream at night to counter the effect of retinol product that i used, and this cream works okay to counter the dryness effect of the retinol.
from all the basic set, i am most surprised by this cream. i thought it would be too rich for me since the concentrated ginseng line is targeted as anti aging products. but turns out it works okay for me. it's moisturizing but not too rich. as this is only 5 ml, i only managed to use this for about 10 days, so it's not long enough to make conclusion about it just yet. but considering that it's moisturizing enough, i guess it would work okay to fight anti aging signs. now that i've finished all in this set, i can say that this set is a gem to try sulwhasoo's basic products. it gives you the idea about sulwhasoo in general. the toner, emulsion and eye cream size are okay to give you the idea about the product, but the FCAS and the cream are too little to get complete idea about the product. i wish they would double the cream size. anyway, if you have the budget, sulwhasoo is a good brand to try as the price is worth to pay. you get the quality. as for me, out of this set, i like the FCAS and eye cream. i'm still on the fence about the cream. if i had the budget, i'd try the FCAS again for sure.
