Why it's on the Korean shelf

A regular in Olive Young Korea's top 30 in a September 'Olive Young Pick' double set. Abib is the design-forward Korean brand that wins on texture: this serum has burst-in-hand capsules.

Who it's for

Sensitive skin that wants a serum lighter than a cream.

Honest note

Abib's spot pads ('Heartleaf Spot Pad Calming Touch') are the better-known product abroad; the serum is the newer sibling.
