Sulwhasoo Snowise whitening line is intended to help brighten, clarify, and even-out the complexion through various medicinal herbs, especially the concentrated pomegranate, rhubarb, marsh parsely, licorice root, white mulberry which work in synergy to help circulate your skin and purification within the skin, in order to achieve brighter skin. The scent is a very herbal - very soothing and calming to the mind, as with many of the Sulwhasoo products. I have used the whole whitening line: Sulwhasoo Snowise Balancing Water, Sulwhasoo Snowise Whitening Serum, Sulwhasoo Snowise Whitening Fluid, Sulwhasoo Snowise Whitening Cream, Sulwhasoo Snowise UV Protect Cream for over 6 months, day and night, without combining any other product to make my review authentic - SUNSCREEN WITH '+++' IS A MUST WHEN USING WHITENING PRODUCTS DURING THE DAY!!! :)

Sulwhasoo Snowise Balancing Water
Description: A gel-type balancing water for optimum hydration. Formulated with Korean Medicinal Herbs, this gel-type balancing water delivers optimum hydration through deep and rapid penetration. Kozo and Fermented Soybean Natto extract gently exfoliate the skin, preparing the skin to receive the benefits of brightening treatments that follow. Promotes supple skin through deep hydration.
Ingredients:
Review: For my normal/combo skin type, I found this toner hydrating. I did not apply this product with a cotton pad (never do I do with Korean toners, as they have essential ingredients) I would pour some onto my palm and gently pat it on my skin. This toner is gentle, and the scent is very herbal. The texture has a gel-type consistency, not like the milk consistency of The History of Whoo Seol Whitening Skin Balancer - the Sulwhasoo Snowise Balancing Water is clear, and absorbs quickly into the skin. For dry skin types, this may be a great toner for your skin as it does hydrate. However, if you do suffer from really dry skin, I would advise sticking to a richer cream afterwards!!! All in all, a great toner for the first step of clarifying the skin (through gentle exfoliation) for subsequent steps.
Sulwhasoo Snowise Whitening Serum
Description: Formulated with Korean medicinal herbs, this brightening serum protects skin from UV light and heat to restore vitality and promote a clear and bright complexion. White Ginseng polysaccharides extracts restores skin vitality and Hedyotis Diffusa extracts stimulates skin’s natural circulation, returning a clear and bright complexion. Penetrating instantly, this essential serum veils the skin with refreshing moisture.
Review: Another whitening serum that IS A KEEP! This serum will help brighten and help to reduce pigmentation, as well as forming new pigmentation. This serum veils the skin, making it smooth and appear lustrous. It is rapidly absorbed into the skin (tip: wrap your palms over your face after applying it) and produces an inner glow within the skin. I used about a pea-size of this product day and night. The texture is a somewhat runny gel-type consistency, it is clear, and smells heavenly, like herbs. I would definitely recommend the serum from the whole line!!!
Sulwhasoo Snowise Whitening Fluid
Description: Formulated with Korean medicinal herbs, this fluid penetrates deeply to clarify and brighten skin. Rhubarb extract prevents the build-up of melanin pigment and assures other whitening ingredients work continuously. Absorbs quickly, leaving the skin smooth and soft.
Review: This Whitening Fluid has an serum-type consistency. It really does absorb right away into the skin, leaving no stickiness, but only moisturizing the skin (good for normal/combo, may need something richer for dry skin types). Once again, the scent is very herbal - if only Sulwhasoo did not indicate their natural scents with 'Fragrance,' we wouldn't be confused about it. Nevertheless, the result is a smooth, baby soft feel to the skin, without this fluid being to heavy or too rich.
Sulwhasoo Snowise Whitening Cream
Description: Formulated with Korean Medicinal Herbs, this brightening cream recovers clear, even color-toned skin. Spreading Hedyotis extract helps brighten the complexion by protecting the skin against free radical damage and mulberry tree root extract has a cooling effect on the skin. Absorbs quickly, leaving the skin soft and smooth.
Ingredients:
Review: LOVE this whitening cream!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It really does keep your skin moisturized, and having dry skin during the winter season, it was perfect for me! I love how it's smooth, rich consistency spreads over your face. The smell is very herbal, and the cream is white. This whitening cream helped lighten my marks, and gave an overall even-complexion to my skin. The Korean SA guaranteed that this is one of the best whitening creams out there, and she sure was right!!!
Sulwhasoo Snowise UV Protect Cream
Description: Formulated with Korean Medicinal Herbs, this dual-functioning (brightening, UV blocking) cream promotes skin's natural circulation, and brightens, while simultaneously preventing future damage from harmful UV rays. Herbal ingredients such as Pomegranate calm the skin and promote skin's natural circulation and Rhubarb extract brightens, and clarifies, while active sun screens effectively protect the skin from harmful UV rays. Absorbs quickly and maintains radiantly matte appearance.
Ingredients:
Review: This sunblock is excellent in leaving your skin matte, there is no oiliness or any white residue whatsoever!!! And thankfully, with many Korean sunscreen, we find them not using harmful sunscreen filters like Oxybenzone, which many Western brands use. The smell is very mild, and the consistency is very light and absorbs quickly and the colour of the cream is light-beige. I am not sure of its whitening effects or brightening effects, but it is a great sunscreen.
Recommend? Yes if you want to clarify and brighten the skin. But I would advise that since I had normal/combo skin going into this line, it kept my skin moist and hydrated. For those of you with dry skin, please have a rich cream in handy!!! I found that The History of Whoo Seol Whitening line really produces whitening effects to the skin, while the Snowise line helped to even-out the skin tone. Both lines use effective Chinese medicinal herbs that work!!! It is all up to personal preference. As for the scents, I would rather pick Sulwhasoo - it is more calming to the mind. Nonetheless, for each product, I used a pea-size amount, and applied it using gentle circular motions, then gently patted my skin for full absorption and wrapping my palms on my face for heat penetration. The ingredients are very natural, with a few of those nasty preservatives. However, I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND the Snowise Whiteing Serum and Snowise Whitening Cream - I found these two products worked the BEST!!!
Please leave any feedback behind!!! :)
