Brightness and clarity are the hallmarks of a radiant complexion. That’s why Sulwhasoo’s Snowise Treatment Program, which promises volume brightening, for a translucent glow from within, is the facial step you need to unlock your skin’s glow potential.
Anyone who’s ever savoured a Sulwhasoo treatment program will understand the sweet anticipation of it. Products, tools and processes aside, it’s the intimate warmth, inviting hospitality, and care that one receives before treatment begins that also position every Sulwhasoo facial program uniquely.
The very heart of Sulwhasoo’s beauty philosophy of harmony and balance is captured in its SPAs and SPA rooms that offer just the right touch of comfort, luxury, and restrained beauty.
Into the Light
If you struggle with patchy, uneven skin tone and a blotchy complexion that’s dull and lacking in vibrancy, the Snowise Brightening Treatment is designed just for you.
Powered by White Ginseng, Sulwhasoo’s patented Snowise beauty regimen is the world’s first brightening solution formulated with White Ginseng Saponin and Enriched White Ginseng Polysaccharide extract, active ingredients that help the skin’s youthful inner radiance to surface.
Fighting “Skin Shadowing” by activating the skin’s “Balance Brightening Factor”, with the potent power of White Ginseng, Sulwhasoo defines “Skin Shadowing” as a combination of excessive melanin production and the loss of the skin’s elasticity, which collaboratively cast a dull shadow over the skin of women from a certain age.
To combat the slowdown in collagen synthesis, Sulwhasoo discovered “Balance Brightening Factor” – a genetic element in the skin, which restores balance, clarity and transparency, by stimulating collagen production and suppressing melanin formation.
The Snowise line is thus developed to activate the skin’s “Balance Brightening Factor”, and with the potent power of White Ginseng, to deliver the effects of “Volume Brightening”, which combats “Skin Shadowing”.
Relaxation
To unlock skin’s inner translucence, the brightening and clarifying Snowise Facial Treatment Program begins with an immensely pampering dry cloth massage, lightly doused with the customer’s choice of Korean herbal medicinal aromatic oil. Each oil has a different purpose, from energising to relaxing, to healing and purifying.
When gently and caringly massaged into the complexion, the aromatic oil, along with the smooth, relaxing movements of the dry cloth, awaken the customer’s five senses and enhance the efficacies of the treatment process to follow.
This royal massage, an initiation into the Snowise facial program, was one of the healing treatments performed in the royal palace during the Joseon Dynasty.
Purification
The Snowise treatment program is then followed by steps to deep cleanse the skin of makeup and impurities using Snowise Brightening Cleansing Foam and Snowise Brightening Exfoliating Gel.
On a freshly purified complexion, a soothing massage treatment using Sulwhasoo’s First Care Activating serum, is done. The massage helps the serum penetrate the skin’s outer layers more efficiently.
Mask & Massage
After skin is well primed to receive more advanced nourishment, the Snowise Brightening Mask is applied. While waiting for the mask to play its part in volume brightening, a deep massage is applied on the customer’s décolletage, to release tension and relax the shoulders.
Post-mask comes the application of Sulwhasoo’s exclusive spa Moisturizing Ampoule that specialises in treating the skin with much needed hydration, to afford it an inner glow. Another massage follows, this time with Snowise Brightening Cream.
Sulwhasoo’s massages are unique also for the use of traditional tools. In the Snowise treatment program, the crescent-shape Nephrite applicator, which is made of a sort of white jade, with its soft pale color, encourages the products to deliver clarity to skin, when used together with the Snowise Brightening line, clearing skin of uneven shadowing and making it bright and flawless.

A second remodeling mask is applied to help soothe and comfort the skin and to also seal in all the brightening, firming, hydrating and nourishing skincare properties of the Snowise Brightening products. While the mask is left to work, a relaxing hand massage is given to the customer.
Glowing Results
The final step, which comes after the remodelling mask, is the application of the Snowise Brightening Serum, which is matchlessly applied using a “twist pinching” finger technique on the skin. This sort of finger action is designed to energise the skin, for lymph drainage action, to lift and plump up the skin, and to maximise the absorption and efficacy of the products for optimum results.
Home Care
To maintain skin’s newfound translucence, the customer is advised to be disciplined with applying Sulwhasoo’s Snowise Brightening home care products that, besides containing brightening agents from White Ginseng, also has White Cloud Grass (trademarked to the Snowise line), which acts an anti-inflammatory primer.
