SU:M37 - minjichic review for Secret Essence Mist

Su:m37 The story behind the name is quite interesting. ‘Sum’ means breathe in Korean, and 37 degrees is the optimal temperature for fermentation and aging, as well as the normal human body temp. The reference to fermentation reveals the philosophy and trade secret behind Su:m37: use of naturally fermented ingredients to strengthen and improve the skin. I tried the Su:m Secret Essence Mist. The Secret Essence, their best selling product, contains ingredients from 86 different plants, such as roots, flowers, leaves, and seeds. These ingredients are fermented for 365 days, and then fermented further with ferulic acid. The consistency is thicker than the SKII facial treatment essence but more lightweight than the History of Whoo self generating essence that I reviewed (check my review). I think it is a great in between product that delivers hydration without leaving sticky or oily residue on the face. This would be a good product for oily skin or people who are prone to breaking out. I love the mist particularly because I can use it easily throughout the day, and I don’t have to get my hands dirty! I’m in the hospital all day long so my hands are not always the cleanest. I definitely don’t want to be touching my face during work so the mist spray makes it so easy to apply anytime. It can also be used before or after makeup, so you can keep it in your bag and spritz away. it’s a bigger investment up front, but the products will serve you well all year long.
