| Verdict | 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. | VT's vegan twist on the PDRN trend — Korean ginseng-derived polynucleotides instead of salmon — and the format that will introduce most people to the brand outside of the Reedle Shot cult. |
