| Verdict | With 97.43% mugwort extract from Ganghwa Island, this essence is as close to putting pure mugwort on your face as possible. Incredible for calming redness, soothing irritation, and reducing acne inflammation. A holy grail for sensitive skin types. The herbal scent is natural from the mugwort itself. | LG's answer to SK-II Pitera — a naturally fermented essence that takes 50+ days in controlled fermentation tanks. The glow is real, the texture is water-thin, and the ferment is genuinely different from galactomyces. If SK-II is the J-beauty first treatment essence, Su:m37° is the K-beauty equivalent. |
