What’s inside (4 × 10 ml)

Each kit contains four 10 ml mini serums:

  1. Calming Serum: Green Tea + Panthenol (10 ml)

  2. Glow Serum: Propolis + Niacinamide (10 ml)

  3. Glow Deep Serum: Rice + Alpha-Arbutin (10 ml)

  4. Revive Serum: Ginseng + Snail Mucin (10 ml)

The Beauty of Joseon Hanbang Serum Discovery Kit is a mini serum wardrobe designed to let you try all four of the brand’s iconic hanbang serums and customise your routine to your skin’s mood.

Each serum focuses on a slightly different job:

  • Calming Serum – Green Tea + Panthenol
    Soothing, hydrating formula with green tea, Centella and panthenol to calm redness, support the barrier and comfort irritated or acne-prone skin. Watery, lightweight texture.

  • Glow Serum – Propolis + Niacinamide
    Honey-like serum with propolis, niacinamide, tamanu oil and tea tree to support glow, manage breakouts and reduce post-acne marks. Great for those who want radiance but still get spots.

  • Glow Deep Serum – Rice + Alpha-Arbutin
    Lightweight brightening serum with rice bran water, alpha-arbutin and niacinamide to even out hyperpigmentation, dark spots and dull tone. Watery, fast-absorbing texture.

  • Revive Serum – Ginseng + Snail Mucin
    Nourishing anti-ageing serum with ginseng root water and snail mucin to improve elasticity, support repair and soften the look of fine lines and pigmentation. Silky, slightly mucin-like texture.

Use them individually to target specific concerns, layer 2–3 together, or rotate depending on how your skin feels that day.


Who is it for?

✔ All skin types – oily, combination, dry and balanced
✔ Sensitive and reactive skin that still wants actives in sensible doses
✔ Acne-prone skin with redness and post-acne marks
✔ Dull, uneven tone, pigmentation or early fine lines
✔ Anyone who wants to try the full BOJ serum line before buying full sizes, or wants a travel-friendly treatment kit

If you’ve been eyeing the BOJ serums and couldn’t decide which one to get first, this kit removes the decision – you get all four.


Why you’ll love it

  • 4 focused serums = full flexibility

    • Calm irritation (Calming)

    • Clear breakouts & boost glow (Glow)

    • Fade dark spots & brighten (Glow Deep)

    • Support elasticity & repair (Revive)

  • Mix & match for your skin’s “mood”
    Use Calming + Glow on breakout days, Glow Deep + Revive on dull / tired-skin days, or just one serum if you want to keep it simple.

  • Hanbang (traditional herbal) approach
    All four serums use Korean herbal ingredients (green tea, ginseng, rice, propolis, Centella etc.) combined with modern actives (niacinamide, alpha-arbutin, panthenol, snail mucin) for results that are effective but gentle.

  • Travel & gifting friendly
    10 ml each is perfect for travel, weekends away, gym bags or as a gift for someone getting into Korean skincare.

  • Sensitive-skin considerate
    The line is known for being alcohol-free, essential-oil-free and fragrance-free, making it easier to use on redness-prone or reactive skin (always check each serum and patch-test).


Free-from / Ethics

  • All four serums are alcohol-free and fragrance-free according to BOJ / retailer info

  • Cruelty-free brand

  • Not vegan overall (Revive Serum contains snail mucin; Glow Serum contains propolis)

You can either focus on one serum at a time (e.g. use Calming only for 2–3 weeks), or layer 2–3 thin layers in the same routine.

Basic routine (AM or PM)

  1. Cleanser
    Use a gentle cleanser suitable for your skin type.
  2. Toner / Essence (optional but recommended)
    Apply a hydrating toner / essence to prep and lightly hydrate the skin.
  3. Serum(s)
    Choose 1–3 serums depending on your concerns:
    Calming Serum – Green Tea + Panthenol
    Best for: redness, irritation, acne-prone or sensitised skin
    Use when: skin feels hot, stingy, reactive or post-breakout.

    Glow Serum – Propolis + Niacinamide
    Best for: acne-prone skin, dullness, post-acne marks
    Use when: you have blemishes or want glow without strong acids.

    Glow Deep Serum – Rice + Alpha-Arbutin
    Best for: pigmentation, dark spots, uneven tone
    Use when: focusing on fading marks and brightening overall tone.

    Revive Serum – Ginseng + Snail Mucin
    Best for: fine lines, loss of elasticity, repair, dullness


    Use when: skin looks tired, lined, or you’re using retinoids / actives and want more support.


    How to apply (per serum)


    Use 2–3 drops of each serum you choose.


    Apply thinnest / most watery first (usually Calming or Glow Deep), then move to thicker textures (Glow, Revive).


    Gently press and pat into skin for 30 seconds before layering the next one.


  4. Moisturiser


    Seal everything in with a moisturiser suited to your skin type (gel for oily, cream for dry/normal).



  5. SPF (AM only)
    Always finish your morning routine with broad-spectrum SPF 30–50 – especially when using brightening ingredients like niacinamide, alpha-arbutin and propolis.


Example combos


  • Acne-prone, red, sensitive:

    Calming → Glow (thin layer) → lightweight gel moisturiser.

  • Pigmentation + dullness:

    Glow Deep → Revive → moisturiser.

  • Very sensitive / reactive day:

    Calming only → simple moisturiser.

Patch-test first. Try one serum at a time behind your ear or on your jawline and wait 24 hours before full-face use, especially if your skin is sensitive.
