I feel bad for bringing down the rating here, but truthfully this gave me a terrible break out. Granted, it's not meant for my skin type (or age bracket), but I've read reviews from other acne-prone people who loved it so I was crossing my fingers. I did love the herbal smell though, and the texture was wonderful. I'll definitely come back to this line if my skin becomes dehydrated with age.

I have been using the basic care 3 steps Sulwhasoo line ( the first care serum, followed by the balancing water and balancing emulsion)for about 6 months, and i am totally in love with. . This products has a very refreshing herbal smell. I have combination skin with oily T zone, redness around my nose and on my cheeks... I started out with the first care serum first since it's their best seller, the serum is very light, almost watery like texture, it absorbs inthe skin right away, it makes my skin smooth and soft. the balancing water is almost like serum, something if I get lazy or on a humid summer day, I would just skip the first serum and go straight to the balancing water and followed by the emulsion. The emulsion also has teh same refreshing hearbal smell. The consistany is very light but it is ver mositurizing but not oily.
After 6 months of using the basic 3 steps. I have noticed that I break out less (even druing my period), my pores around my nose and on my cheek sems to be smaller and I don't get dry patches like I used to. overall I am very happy I have found something that I think I can stick to. The down side is it's abit pricy (the first care serum is $80, the water I think it's 44 and the emulsion is $62). I just bought the clear peel off mask at my local asian beauty store for $39 and I am very happy with the mask as well.

I have been using this emulsion for 2 weeks now and I've never had any breakouts so far, I'm using it together with the balancing water. For reference, I have a combination n acne prone skin. It's pricey but it's all worth it specially when you have found the product that goes well with your skin. Now, I'm only dealing with acne scars and thinking what product to use to lighten the scars. It's not that bad but still =) It has a natural - kind of a herbal smell which is very refreshing. It's for older people like aged 35+ and I'm only 26 and I'm using it. It would definitely be a staple product for me now.

The only thing I use on my face is olive oil soap and this emulsion in conjunction with the balancing toner and another brand of sunscreen. My face has broken out in the last year for the first time in my life and with this combination I feel like my skin is on its way to healing. Its moisturizing effects last throughout the day, and I am noticeably less oily in my T-zone at the end of the day. This line is popular with a lot of moms and older people swear by this line.. and I can see why! It's not specifically designed to be anti-aging but as we all know, moms do know best haha.

hands down HG moisturizer. It is a light, milky consistency, but still very moisturizing. Perfect for day and night. I like to put SPF 50 over it during the day. Skin tone has improved dramatically!!! It is pricey, but not as expensive as the amorepacific products that are sold in Sephora. I think the Sulwhasoo line is amorepacific's best one. There are a lot of imitations, but this one is the real deal.

For information on Sulwhasoo see my other review on the Balancing Water. This emulsion is supposed to used in conjunction with the toner. This product has the same strong (but pleasant) herbal scent but as opposed to the toner, definitely is heavier and thicker.
Like I said, it is a thick, white cream, so use it sparingly. Once it goes on the skin, it feels a bit oily but your skin absorbs it quickly.
Even though it is heavy, it doesn't break me out. My skin looks luminescent and even-toned after using this. A great winter moisturizer.
