Nacific’s famous Fresh Herb Origin Serum is called the “curse serum” reportedly because of the tingling sensation you will feel upon application. This happens when your skin is damaged or very dry. Once the damage or dryness is gone and the skin heals, the tingling disappears.
Many people swear by the serum for acne, skin sensitivity and many other skin conditions.
The tingling sensation comes from the amino acids used in a a proprietary patented antioxidant, called Sepicalm, which also includes water lily extract. Other ingredients include lemongrass, lime peel, applemint and aloe leaf water. The serum is vegan and cruelty-free.
Nacific Fresh Herb Origin Serum is a bi-phase, oil-essence formula so you will have to shake the serum to mix the two layers before applying. If your skin is oily, the brand says you can opt not to shake the bottle and just use the oil on too.
This serum caused quite a stir years ago because it was reportedly a favorite of actress Jun Ji-hyun (My Sassy Girl, My Love from the Star and Ashin of the North). This serum is so in-demand that it has sold over 1 million bottles worldwide.
Nacific was also endorsed by EXO member Chanyeol, who is currently enlisted in the military.
Last week, Nacific announced that it has selected the JYP Entertainment boy group Stray Kids as the new face of the brand.
“Stray Kids’ healthy and bright energy fits well with the brand concept of Nacific, which pursues natural beauty. It is expected to have a positive synergy effect in establishing its position as a K-beauty brand along with Stray Kids, who is leading the industry,” said a representative from the brand.
Stray Kids has eight members: Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin and I.N. Aside from the Fresh Herb Origin line, Nacific is also know for its Phyto Niacin and Real Floral lines.
The Phyto Niacin Whitening Essence contains vitamin C derivatives from lemon, morus alba bark and rosa canina fruit, while the Nacific Real Floral Toner Calendula has calendula water, allantoin and centella extract.
Launched in 2015, Nacific, which carries the slogan “The Beginning of Natural Beauty,” uses premium quality ingredients that are harnessed from nature.
The best thing about a Korean artist endorsing a beauty brand is the photo cards that come with product purchases, and this holds true for Stray Kids’ endorsement of Nacific. Last we checked, the products that came with photo cards were sold-out on Shopee but there might have been a restock since then.
In the Philippines, the brand’s products are available at its official stores in LazMall and Shopee.
