SILCUS Silk First Essence Serum is a Japanese foam-type first essence, 100ml, that doubles as a toner. Used first after cleansing, the foam is pressed over the face to deliver moisture and a hydrolyzed silk protein that supports the skin barrier, with soothing Centella and niacinamide. Layering it adds a dewy sheen before your cream.
How to Work It Into Your Routine
1. After cleansing morning and night, dispense three to five pumps of foam.
2. Dot the foam over the face.
3. Press it in gently with your palms until it absorbs.
4. Layer again for extra glow, then finish with cream.
