Firstpick

FIRSTPICK is a Korean skincare brand, and we carry a focused selection of five products rather than a deep catalog. The lineup covers exfoliation with the Ippokea Exfoliating Fermented Serum and the Gummus Home Peeling Gel, daily sun protection with the Sika Collagen Calming Sunscreen and the Magic Mild Sunblock Cream SPF50, and a men's all-in-one option in the Sika Soldier set. Because the range is small and spread across categories, think of FIRSTPICK as a source for a single step rather than a full standalone routine.

FIRSTPICK gives you two routes to exfoliation that work differently. The Ippokea Exfoliating Fermented Serum is a leave-on 18 ml serum that exfoliates chemically through fermented ingredients, so it suits being worked into a regular routine as a treatment step. The Gummus Home Peeling Gel is a 100 ml rinse-off product you massage on and remove, giving a more physical, occasional deep-clean feel. If you want gentle daily exfoliation, lean toward the serum; if you want an occasional reset, the peeling gel is the one to reach for.

Exfoliation is easy to overdo, so start slow. The Ippokea fermented serum, being leave-on, fits after cleansing and toning and before your moisturizer, used a few times a week at first and increased only if your skin tolerates it. The Gummus peeling gel is a rinse-off step on clean, dry or damp skin, used once or twice a week, after which you continue with your normal routine. Whichever you pick, exfoliation and sun protection go together, since freshly exfoliated skin is more sensitive to sun, which makes pairing it with a FIRSTPICK sunscreen sensible.

The two FIRSTPICK sun products suit different preferences. The Sika Collagen Calming Sunscreen is a 70 ml product positioned around a calming, collagen feel, so it suits skin that wants comfort alongside protection. The Magic Mild Sunblock Cream is a 60 g SPF50 cream described as mild, which points to a gentler everyday sunblock. If you want a larger bottle and a calming angle, the Sika sunscreen fits; if you want a stated SPF50 in a mild cream format, the Magic Mild sunblock is the pick. Either one is the last step of a daytime routine.

FIRSTPICK's men's option is the Men Men Cosmetic Skin Lotion Sika Soldier All-in-One Set. All-in-one products are popular in Korean men's grooming because they fold several steps into one, which suits a simpler routine or someone new to skincare. If you want a low-effort entry point rather than a multi-bottle regimen, this set is built for that. It pairs naturally with one of the FIRSTPICK sunscreens for daytime, since most all-in-one lotions do not carry their own SPF.

FIRSTPICK works best as a targeted add-on. If your routine already has the basics and you want to introduce exfoliation, the Ippokea serum or Gummus peeling gel covers that. If you need a fresh sunscreen, the two sun products give you a calming option and a mild SPF50 option. If you are shopping for an easy men's routine, the Sika Soldier set is the all-in-one. Because the range is small, the simplest start is to pick the one job you are missing and add the matching product, rather than buying the whole lineup at once.

FIRSTPICK is a Korean brand, and the products reflect K-beauty conventions: fermented exfoliating ingredients, calming sunscreen formulas, and all-in-one men's lotions are all common in the Korean market. If you already follow a Korean routine, these products slot in as the exfoliation and sun-protection steps without disrupting the rest. We carry the lineup in stock so you can add a single Korean step to your shelf without sourcing it separately.
