Sulwhasoo renewed its White Ginseng Exfoliating Mask in July 2026. A visit to the Dosan flagship the following month confirmed the Korean shelf price, stock, and consultation details.
The 2026 renewal and a store check
On July 1, Amorepacific announced the first renewal in six years of Sulwhasoo’s White Ginseng Exfoliating Mask, known in Korean as baeksam-paek (백삼팩). Yonhap reported it as an update to an established exfoliating product.
On August 4, 2026, an in-person audit at the Sulwhasoo Dosan Flagship store confirmed that the 120 mL White Ginseng Exfoliating Mask was in active shelf stock. The displayed Korean retail price was verified at 72,000 KRW, matching Amorepacific’s July 1, 2026 renewal release. Floor staff provided detailed consultation in clear Korean, accurately explaining the formula’s updated in-shower gentle exfoliation mechanism and moisture-retention benefits.
Sulwhasoo describes fine white-ginseng powder in a golden gel and a warming, steam-massage-inspired formula. Treat those as the brand’s description of texture and use, not as a clinical result.
Why ginseng appears in the product story
Korean ginseng is familiar well beyond skincare. The Korea Tourism Organization’s ginseng guide covers its cultivation, food uses, and regional visitor experiences. Sulwhasoo draws on that recognition, while the mask itself remains a rinse-off cosmetic.
The rinse-off format
This is a rinse-off exfoliating mask with powder in a gel, not a sheet mask or overnight cream. If the routine already includes acids, retinoids, or physical exfoliation, check the package directions before adding another exfoliating step. Patch-test when fragrance or botanicals have caused problems before.
What changed
The current Korean, international, and U.S. pages describe the same 120 mL format in different shopping markets.
| Verified cue | What the current sources say | What to do with it |
|---|---|---|
| Renewal timing | Amorepacific says the product was renewed after six years and launched in Korea on July 1, 2026. | Ask whether the counter stock is the renewed version rather than assuming every familiar-looking item is identical. |
| Formula framing | Sulwhasoo’s Korean and international pages describe white-ginseng powder and a warming gel-style experience. | Assess texture and tolerance; do not translate brand language into a health claim. |
| Overseas listing | The international listing shows 120 mL; the U.S. storefront also lists 120 mL, with its own current price and shipping terms. | Compare the official local and destination storefronts only after checking stock, tax and return conditions. |
At the counter, confirm that the box is the renewed version and compare the current local price, directions, and return terms with the destination storefront.
Dosan flagship details
For comparison shopping across several brands, use the Seongsu K-beauty shopping guide. If the day may include a booked consultation or spa, the Seoul K-beauty travel guide explains what to confirm before reserving.
Sulwhasoo’s official international listing places its Dosan flagship spa at B1, 18 Dosan-daero 45-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, and lists English plus 10 a.m.–8 p.m. hours. The brand also maintains an English reservation page. Use the stop to check texture and ask about the current mask or treatment before booking.
As of August 4, the English reservation system was accepting consultation and spa bookings for Dosan. At the store, ask “Can I try the texture?”, mention relevant sensitivities, and check how the mask would sit alongside exfoliants already in the routine.
