| Verdict | One ingredient. 100% Artemisia Capillaris Extract. Pure mugwort that calms redness, soothes acne, and reduces inflammation. Layer it, use it as a toner, soak a sheet mask in it — the single-ingredient format means infinite versatility. The best $13 you can spend on calming skincare. | 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. |
