Feeling overwhelmed by which serum to choose for your skin concerns? This discovery kit is your perfect introduction to targeted treatments, allowing you to sample four of Beauty of Joseon's bestselling serums without committing to a full-size bottle.

This kit is ideal for beginners wanting to build a routine, anyone new to the Beauty of Joseon brand, or skincare enthusiasts who want to tackle multiple concerns by alternating serums. Each 10ml bottle provides a unique solution for issues common in Mauritius' climate, from dullness and dark spots to redness and dehydration.

• Glow Deep Serum (Rice + Alpha-Arbutin): Targets pigmentation and dark spots for an even, luminous complexion.
• Glow Serum (Propolis + Niacinamide): Manages pores and inflammation, making it ideal for acne-prone skin.
• Revive Serum (Ginseng + Snail Mucin): Addresses fine lines and dehydration, helping to restore skin elasticity.
• Calming Serum (Green Tea + Panthenol): Soothes redness and irritation, providing comfort to sensitive or stressed skin.

1. Cleanse: Start with a clean face.
2. Treat with [THIS KIT]: Choose one serum based on your main concern for the day. Dispense 2-3 drops and gently pat onto your skin.
3. Seal & Protect: Follow with your daily Sunscreen in the morning, or a Moisturiser in the evening.

Note: Already have a serum you're using? It's better to finish that first to avoid waste and see its true results. This kit is perfect for finding your next step.

In the morning, focus on protection and radiance. The Glow Serum or Glow Deep Serum are excellent choices.

1. Cleanser: Wash your face with a gentle cleanser.
2. (Optional) Hydrating Toner: Apply a light, watery toner to prep the skin.
3. [THIS KIT] Serum: Apply 2-3 drops of your chosen serum. For example, use the Glow Deep Serum to target pigmentation or the Glow Serum to manage oil and add radiance.
4. Sunscreen: Finish with a broad-spectrum sunscreen of at least SPF 30. This is the most critical step to protect your skin and the results of the serums.

Wait Time: Allow the serum to absorb for 30-60 seconds before applying sunscreen.

Your evening routine should focus on repair and treatment. The Revive Serum or Calming Serum are ideal for nighttime use.

1. Double Cleanse: If you wore makeup or water-resistant sunscreen, start with an oil cleanser, then follow with a water-based cleanser.
2. [THIS KIT] Serum: Apply 2-3 drops of your chosen serum. For example, use the Revive Serum to target fine lines or the Calming Serum if your skin feels irritated from the day's sun and environmental exposure.
3. Moisturiser: Lock in the serum and hydrate your skin overnight with a suitable moisturiser.

Texture Rule: Always apply products from the thinnest consistency to the thickest.

Daily Use — AM/PM:

• Amount: 2-3 drops of one serum is enough for the entire face.
• Apply to: A clean face, after toner and before moisturiser.
• Method: Dispense onto fingertips, gently spread across the face, and then pat lightly to aid absorption.
• Frequency: If you are new to serums, start by introducing one serum at a time. Use it once a day for a week to see how your skin responds before trying another or alternating.

Which Serum to Choose? A Quick Guide:

• If your skin is red or irritated: Use the Calming Serum.
• If you have dark spots or uneven tone: Use the Glow Deep Serum.
• If your skin is acne-prone or looks dull: Use the Glow Serum.
• If you are concerned about fine lines or dryness: Use the Revive Serum.

You can also "zone" your serums by applying different ones to different areas. For example, use the Glow Serum on your oily T-zone and the Calming Serum on your cheeks if they are prone to redness.

This kit is perfect for alternating actives to address multiple concerns. Once your skin is accustomed to each serum, you can create a customized weekly schedule.

Example Week for targeting Pigmentation & Fine Lines:

• Monday: AM: Glow Deep Serum / PM: Revive Serum
• Tuesday: AM: Glow Deep Serum / PM: Calming Serum (to soothe)
• Wednesday: AM: Glow Deep Serum / PM: Revive Serum
• Thursday: AM: Glow Deep Serum / PM: Calming Serum (to soothe)
• Friday: AM: Glow Serum (for radiance) / PM: Revive Serum
• Saturday: AM: Glow Serum / PM: Soothing night (no strong actives)
• Sunday: AM: Glow Deep Serum / PM: Revive Serum

Rules:

• One serum per routine is enough. Don't layer multiple serums from the kit in the same routine to avoid overwhelming your skin.
• Always introduce new products one by one for at least a week to check for sensitivity.

• Immediate: Skin will feel more hydrated and plump after application. The Calming Serum may offer immediate relief from mild redness.
• 2–4 Weeks: With consistent use, you may notice a healthier glow (Glow Serum) and reduced irritation (Calming Serum). Skin texture may feel smoother.
• 4–8+ Weeks: This is when targeted results become more visible. The Glow Deep Serum may start to visibly fade recent dark spots, and the Revive Serum can help soften the appearance of fine lines. Consistency and daily sunscreen use are essential to see and maintain these results.

• Myth: "You only need one 'do-it-all' serum for perfect skin."
• Why This Kit Instead: Skin has different needs on different days. A single, generic serum may not effectively address specific issues like hormonal breakouts, sun-induced pigmentation, or sudden sensitivity. This discovery kit empowers you to use a targeted treatment for a specific problem—like using the Calming Serum when your skin is irritated or the Glow Deep Serum after a breakout to prevent dark marks. This tailored approach is often more effective than a one-size-fits-all product.

• Works Well With: All serums in this kit are gentle and can be incorporated into most routines. They pair well with hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and daily sunscreen.
• Use With Caution: If you use potent prescription retinoids (like Tretinoin) or high-concentration exfoliating acids (AHA/BHA), introduce these serums on alternate nights to avoid potential irritation. For example, use your retinoid on Monday night and the Revive Serum on Tuesday night.
• Avoid On: Do not apply to broken or irritated skin. Always patch test first.

This kit is exceptionally versatile and offers a solution for every skin type.

• Oily & Acne-Prone: You will love the Glow Serum with Propolis and Niacinamide for managing sebum and breakouts, and the Calming Serum for reducing inflammation.
• Dry & Mature: The Revive Serum with Ginseng and Snail Mucin provides essential hydration and helps with elasticity. The Glow Deep Serum can address age spots.
• Combination: This kit is your playground! Use the Glow Serum on your T-zone and the Calming or Revive Serum on your cheeks.
• Sensitive: The Calming Serum is your go-to for soothing redness and irritation. Introduce the other serums with a patch test, as they are also formulated to be gentle.

• Dullness & Uneven Skin Tone: Addressed by the Glow Serum and Glow Deep Serum.
• Redness, Irritation & Sensitivity: Soothed by the Calming Serum.
• Fine Lines & Dehydration: Targeted by the Revive Serum.
• Enlarged Pores & Blemishes: Managed by the Glow Serum.
• Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH): Faded by the Glow Deep Serum.

This kit features four distinct formulations, each targeting specific concerns with key active ingredients.

1. Calming Serum: Green Tea + Panthenol

• Green Tea Leaf Water (50.9%): A powerful antioxidant that soothes skin and protects against environmental damage.
• Panthenol (5%): Also known as Pro-Vitamin B5, it deeply hydrates and helps repair the skin barrier.
• Centella Asiatica Extract: A beloved K-beauty ingredient known for its remarkable calming and healing properties.

2. Glow Deep Serum: Rice + Alpha-Arbutin

• Rice Bran Water (68.6%): Historically used in Korea for its brightening and moisturizing properties, rich in amino acids and minerals.
• Alpha-Arbutin (2%): A potent and safe ingredient that inhibits melanin production to effectively fade dark spots and hyperpigmentation.

3. Glow Serum: Propolis + Niacinamide

• Propolis Extract (60%): Known for its natural anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties, making it excellent for acne-prone skin.
• Niacinamide (2%): A multi-tasking vitamin that helps control sebum, minimize the appearance of pores, and brighten skin tone.

4. Revive Serum: Ginseng + Snail Mucin

• Ginseng Root Water (63.4%): A prized 'hanbang' (traditional Korean herbal medicine) ingredient rich in antioxidants that helps revitalize skin and improve circulation.
• Snail Mucin (3%): An incredible ingredient for repairing skin, promoting hydration, and improving the appearance of fine lines and acne scars.
• Adenosine: An MFDS-certified functional ingredient for improving the appearance of wrinkles.

• Fragrance Status: All four serums are formulated without artificial fragrances and essential oils.
• Scent Profile: 0/5. The serums are virtually odorless, with only a very faint, neutral scent from the raw ingredients.
• EU Allergens: None declared by the brand. The formulas are intentionally minimal to reduce the risk of irritation.

Note: If you have a known allergy to snail mucin or bee products (propolis), please patch test the Revive Serum and Glow Serum respectively.

While formulated for gentleness, it is wise to introduce new products carefully.

• Who should use it: Anyone looking to explore targeted serums for common skin concerns like dullness, acne, sensitivity, and aging.
• Who should be cautious: Individuals with known allergies to specific ingredients in the kit, such as snail mucin or propolis, should exercise caution.
• Patch Test Protocol: Before using a new serum on your face, apply a pea-sized amount to a small, discreet area, like behind your ear or on your inner jawline. Wait 24-48 hours. If you experience any redness, itching, or irritation, do not use the product. Introduce only one new serum at a time.
• For Teens: This kit can be a great, gentle introduction to serums for teenagers dealing with issues like acne (Glow Serum) or irritation (Calming Serum). Always ensure they use sunscreen daily.

• Texture: All four serums have a lightweight, slightly viscous texture that spreads easily and absorbs well without feeling heavy or sticky.
• Finish: They leave the skin feeling hydrated and plump with a healthy, subtle glow.
• Scent: Neutral and fragrance-free.
• pH Level: All serums are formulated within a skin-friendly pH range of approximately 5.0 - 6.5.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: The Calming and Glow Deep serums are generally considered FA-safe. The Glow Serum (Propolis) and Revive Serum (Snail) contain ingredients that may not be suitable for those with fungal acne. As always, individual responses vary.

The lightweight, non-greasy textures of these serums make them perfectly suited for the warm and humid climate of Mauritius.

• Humid Summer: During hot and sticky months, you can use one of these serums and follow up directly with your sunscreen, potentially skipping a separate moisturiser in the morning if your skin feels sufficiently hydrated. The Glow Serum is excellent for managing summer oiliness.
• Drier Winter/AC Exposure: In cooler, drier weather or if you spend a lot of time in air-conditioning, layer your chosen serum under a more nourishing moisturiser to prevent dehydration. The Revive Serum provides an excellent hydration boost.

However, if you have a single, primary concern you wish to focus on more intensively, consider one of these full-size alternatives from our catalog:

• For More Potent Anti-Aging: Beauty of Joseon REVIVE EYE SERUM : GINSENG + RETINAL 30ML — Choose this if your main goal is targeting established fine lines and wrinkles. It uses Retinal, a more direct and potent form of Vitamin A, for faster results. (Note: Can also be used on the full face).

It focuses deeply on repairing the skin barrier with fermented Centella, Ceramides, and Probiotics for ultimate comfort and resilience.

Mindful Use Note: If you already have a serum at home that you are happy with, we encourage you to finish it first. This kit is a fantastic way to explore new options once your current product is used up.

• Packaging: The kit contains four 10ml bottles made of sturdy glass, each equipped with a hygienic dropper applicator. They are housed in a protective cardboard box.
• Sustainability: The glass bottles and cardboard box are recyclable in Mauritius. The droppers are made of mixed materials and should be disposed of in the general trash.
• Travel-Friendliness: The 10ml size of each serum is perfect for travel, easily fitting into carry-on luggage and allowing you to maintain your full, customized routine on the go.
• Storage: To maintain the potency of the active ingredients, store the serums in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, like a cabinet or drawer. Avoid storing them in a steamy bathroom.

Note: This is aggregated sentiment from online communities and should be considered anecdotal.

• Reddit, r/AsianBeauty (2024-05): One user praised the kit as "the perfect way to date the serums before marrying the full bottle." They found the Glow Deep serum significantly helped their post-acne marks, and the Calming serum was a "lifesaver" during a period of irritation.
• YesStyle Review (2024-03): A reviewer with combination skin loved being able to use the Glow Serum on their oily T-zone and the Revive Serum on their drier cheeks. They noted it was "much better than trying to find one serum for my complicated skin."
• Amazon Customer Review (2023-11): A customer mentioned that while they enjoyed trying all four, they found the Revive Serum with snail mucin "a bit too hydrating for my very oily skin in the summer," but loved it during the cooler months. This highlights the benefit of being able to switch serums seasonally.

Can I use all four serums at the same time?

It is not recommended to layer all four serums in a single routine. This can be overwhelming for your skin and may not allow each product to work effectively. It's best to choose one serum per routine (AM or PM) based on your skin's needs for that day, or alternate them on different days.

Which serum is best for my acne?

The Glow Serum (Propolis + Niacinamide) is specifically designed for acne-prone skin as it helps control sebum and has anti-inflammatory properties. The Calming Serum can also be very helpful for reducing the redness and irritation associated with breakouts.

I have dark spots from old pimples. Which serum should I use?

The Glow Deep Serum (Rice + Alpha-Arbutin) is the best choice for this concern. Alpha-Arbutin is a powerful ingredient for fading post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). Remember to use sunscreen daily to see the best results.

Is the snail mucin in the Revive Serum Halal and Cruelty-Free?

The snail mucin is considered permissible for external cosmetic use (Halal-Friendly). Beauty of Joseon states that they source their mucin without harming the snails, making the product cruelty-free. However, because it is an animal-derived ingredient, it is not vegan.

• Best For: Skincare beginners, anyone new to Beauty of Joseon, travelers, and individuals with multiple or fluctuating skin concerns.
• Key Benefits: Allows you to test four highly-rated, targeted serums. Excellent value for money. Lightweight, fragrance-free formulas suitable for Mauritius' climate.
• Keep in Mind: The kit is not vegan due to the snail mucin in the Revive Serum. The 10ml bottles may not last long if used very generously, but are ideal for trial and travel.

• Coverage: Island-wide delivery (Mauritius).
• Processing & Timing: Orders process in 1–2 business days; usually ready by Day 3 for pickup. After pickup, delivery typically takes 1–5 business days (weekdays only).
• Express: May be available by region; request on WhatsApp: +230 5 778 2336.
