Field notes
from the atelier.

Short pieces by the people who made the serum. Ingredients we are obsessed with, the rituals we test on ourselves first, and the occasional letter from Seoul.

Latest · 임상실 · From the clinic

What your drugstore scalp serum

의식 · Ritual

A nightly ritual, in three drops.

How to use the serum the way it was designed to be used. Not a five-step routine — three drops, palms warmed, mid-lengths to ends, and an unbraided night of sleep.
