Herbloom

Herbloom is a vegan Korean skincare label whose hero ingredient is fermented kombucha, a tea ferment rich in postbiotic by-products. The brand pairs that ferment with plant-biome care, the idea being to support the skin's own microbiome rather than strip it. Across this page you will see the kombucha theme run through the toner, the serums, and the collagen cream, so the brand reads as a single connected routine instead of a scatter of unrelated products.

The core of the range is the Kombucha Plant Biom toner (150ml) and the matching Plant Biome serum (50ml). The toner is the first hydration step after cleansing, laying down a kombucha-fed base, and the serum follows as a more concentrated treatment. Because both sit on the same ferment platform they are designed to layer cleanly, the toner prepping the skin and the serum carrying the actives deeper. If you want to try the brand with the smallest commitment, this pair is the obvious starting point.

The Kombucha Vegan Collagen Cream (50ml) is the moisturiser step in the line. Collagen is usually animal-derived, so a vegan collagen cream signals a plant-based or biotech route to the same plumping, firming feel. It seals in the toner and serum and gives the routine its richest texture, which makes it the natural pick for drier skin or for the evening when you want more cushion. Sitting it on top of the Plant Biom serum keeps the whole routine on one ferment story.

The Kombucha Nourishing Set bundles the serum and the cream together. A set like this is the easiest way to run the treat-and-seal pair without buying each piece separately, and it usually works out as better value than the two on their own. It also takes the guesswork out of matching: the serum and cream in the set are meant to be used back to back, so you get a coherent two-step finish to the routine in a single purchase.

Herbloom carries three vegan sunscreens, all 50ml, and the difference is the finish. The Calming Days sunscreen aims at a soothing, low-fuss daily wear. The Daily Tone Up sunscreen adds a brightening tone-up cast that evens out the look of the skin under makeup or on its own. All three close out the morning routine as the last step before makeup. If you only add one Herbloom product to an existing routine, a daily SPF is the highest-value place to start.

A full Herbloom routine runs in the standard Korean order: cleanse, then the Kombucha Plant Biom toner, then the Plant Biome serum, then the Vegan Collagen Cream. In the morning you finish with one of the vegan sunscreens; at night you stop at the cream. Because every step shares the kombucha base, the layers were formulated to sit together without pilling or clashing. Start with the toner and serum, add the cream when you want more moisture, and slot the SPF in for daytime.

The plant-biome, ferment-led approach is gentle and skews toward barrier support, which makes the line a reasonable fit for normal, combination, and slightly dry skin. The Calming Days sunscreen and the hydrating toner lean comforting rather than active-heavy, so reactive or sensitised skin has a softer entry point. Drier skin will get the most from the Vegan Collagen Cream, while anyone who wants a brighter daytime look can reach for the Daily Tone Up SPF. As with any new ferment product, patch test first if your skin runs sensitive.

Herbloom sizing is consistent: the toner is 150ml and the serums, cream, and sunscreens are 50ml each, so they are full-size daily-use bottles rather than samples. The Nourishing Set is the value play if you want the serum and cream together. Every product on this page is sourced as authentic Korean stock and ships from our catalogue, so you are getting the same formulas sold in Korea. Buying the toner-and-serum pair or the set first lets you judge the brand before committing to the whole routine.
