isoi Sets
isoi sets bundle complementary products from the brand's core lines into a single purchase: a lip treatment balm double set, a blemish care serum planning set, skincare foundation and lotion combinations, a rose original handy set with hand cream, and the Eraser Pack. Each set is oriented around either value (getting more of a core product) or routine building (combining products designed to work together). With 6 curated sets available, these are a practical starting point for anyone new to isoi or looking to add a second product from a line they already use.

isoi Sets: What Is Bundled, Who They Suit, and How to Use Them
isoi offers a focused selection of product sets - curated bundles that combine complementary items from across the brand's lineup. Unlike random gift-with-purchase kits, each isoi set is designed with a clear purpose: either more of a core product you are already using, or a combination of products that work together in a routine. This guide covers what each set includes, which skin types and concerns they suit, and how to get the most out of each bundle.
What isoi Sets Are Available
The current isoi set lineup on skinsli includes six products:
- Lip Treatment Balm Double Set: Two isoi lip balms bundled together. A value-oriented set for anyone who uses lip balm regularly and wants a second one on hand.
- Blemish Care Serum 50ml Planning Set: A planning set centered on the Blemish Care Serum. Typically includes the serum plus a companion product for a complete blemish-care step.
- Ongdal Sam Skin + 2 Lotion Set: A toner and lotion combination using isoi's Ongdal Sam Skin and two lotion variants - a multi-step hydration bundle.
- Cosmetics Pure Moisture Foundation Set (Ongdal Samskin / Takwol Lotion): A foundation combined with the Ongdal Samskin and Takwol Lotion - a full base-routine bundle that covers skincare prep and coverage.
- Rose Original Handy Set: Includes a rolling perfume, hand cream, and sponge soap - a rose-line travel and daily-use hand care bundle.
- Eraser Pack: A standalone pack product rather than a combination set - a rinse-off or leave-on treatment from isoi.
Blemish Care Serum Planning Set: For Consistent Blemish Routines
The Blemish Care Serum 50ml Planning Set is the most obviously routine-focused bundle in the isoi set range. 'Planning set' in Korean skincare typically means a set designed for a committed routine rather than a one-time trial - the combination of products is chosen so that they can be used together day-to-day.
Who it suits: people who are actively managing blemish-prone skin and want both a core treatment serum and a compatible companion product from the same brand. Using products designed to work together removes the guesswork of building a compatible routine from separate purchases.
If you are already using the isoi Blemish Care Serum and want to add a coordinated step without researching product compatibility, the planning set is a straightforward solution.
Ongdal Sam Skin Toner and Lotion Set: Multi-Step Hydration
The Ongdal Sam Skin + 2 Lotion Set bundles isoi's toner and lotion products into a complete hydration routine in a single purchase. In the Korean skincare system, a toner (skin) is the first hydration step after cleansing and a lotion is the lightweight moisturising layer that follows - together they form the essential hydration foundation of any facial routine.
The 'Ongdal' (옹달, meaning 'spring water pool' in Korean) positioning connects to the moisture system philosophy - the product names reflect the water-based hydration focus. This set is suited for people who:
- Are starting a Korean skincare routine and want to establish the foundational toner-lotion steps with one purchase
- Are already using one of these products and want to add the matching companion
- Have normal to dry skin and want a simple, effective hydration base from a single brand
Pure Moisture Foundation Set: Skincare-Infused Base
The Cosmetics Pure Moisture Foundation Set combines the Ongdal Samskin toner and the Takwol Lotion with isoi's foundation. This is a skincare-plus-makeup bundle that covers prep, moisturising, and coverage in one set.
The integration of skincare and foundation in a single set reflects the Korean approach to base makeup: skin preparation is as important as the coverage layer, and the foundation is chosen to be compatible with the skincare products underneath. A foundation matched to the same brand's moisturising products will typically layer better without pilling, sheering out, or changing texture in ways that mismatched products can cause.
This set suits people who want a simple, coordinated base routine without spending time researching which skincare products are compatible with which foundations.
Rose Original Handy Set: Travel and Daily Hand Care
The Rose Original Handy Set includes a rolling perfume, hand cream, and sponge soap - all from the rose original line. This is a lifestyle and travel-oriented bundle rather than a facial skincare routine set.
The three-product combination makes sense together: the sponge soap for cleansing, the hand cream for moisture and barrier repair post-wash, and the rolling perfume as a finishing fragrance - all carrying the Bulgarian rose ingredient thread through the full hand-care ritual.
Suitable as a personal gift set, a travel skincare kit, or a desk/bag hand care bundle. The hand cream in the rose original line uses the same Bulgarian rose extract as the face cream range, providing anti-inflammatory and moisturising support alongside basic emollience.
Lip Treatment Balm Double Set: Value for Regular Users
The Lip Treatment Balm Double Set bundles two isoi lip balms. Lip treatment balms differ from standard lip glosses or petroleum-based lip balms in that they contain actives designed to improve the lip skin condition over time - typically humectants, emollients, and sometimes brightening agents - rather than just providing a temporary moisture coating.
Two-pack lip balm sets are especially practical because:
- Lip balm is a regularly consumed product and buying a second one upfront avoids the gap when the first runs out
- One can be kept in a bag and one at a desk or bedside, which supports consistent use rather than searching for the product when needed
- As a gift, two balms allow sharing without giving away your only one
Regular use of a lip treatment balm - applying before bed as well as during the day - is the most effective way to address persistent lip dryness or flaking.
Eraser Pack: What It Is and How to Use It
The isoi Eraser Pack is a mask-format product - typically a clay, enzyme, or chemical exfoliant pack that 'erases' accumulated dead skin cells, blackheads, or surface congestion. The 'eraser' positioning indicates a cleansing and clarifying function rather than a hydration function.
How to use it:
- Apply to clean, dry skin in a thin, even layer
- Leave on for the directed time (typically 5 to 15 minutes, depending on the formula)
- Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water
- Follow with toner and moisturiser to restore hydration after the exfoliating step
Use 1 to 2 times per week maximum - more frequent use of an exfoliating pack can over-strip the skin. The Eraser Pack works well as a Saturday or Sunday treatment step when you have time for a more thorough routine rather than as a daily product.

isoi Sets as Gifts: What to Know
Product sets are natural gift candidates because they arrive as curated combinations rather than a single product that the recipient may already own. isoi sets work as gifts in specific contexts:
- The Rose Original Handy Set is the most universally gift-appropriate - it requires no skin-type matching and suits most people as a hand care and fragrance kit.
- The Lip Treatment Balm Double Set is a safe gift for someone who already uses isoi lip care.
- The skincare routine sets (Blemish Care, Ongdal Toner/Lotion, Foundation Set) are better suited as gifts when you know the recipient's skin type and current routine - routine-specific products work best when the recipient actually has the concern the set targets.
- The Eraser Pack is more of a personal-use product than a standard gift, but appropriate for someone who you know is interested in exfoliating treatments.
If you are buying as a gift and do not know the recipient's skin concerns well, the Rose Original Handy Set or Lip Balm Double Set are the most broadly appropriate choices.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How many isoi sets are available and what types do they cover?
There are 6 isoi sets currently available on skinsli: a Lip Treatment Balm Double Set, a Blemish Care Serum Planning Set, an Ongdal Sam Skin + Lotion toner/lotion combo, a Pure Moisture Foundation Set, a Rose Original Handy Set (rolling perfume, hand cream, sponge soap), and the Eraser Pack. They span facial skincare routines, hand care, lip care, and skincare-infused makeup.
What is included in the isoi Blemish Care Serum Planning Set?
The Blemish Care Serum Planning Set includes a 50ml Blemish Care Serum plus a companion product designed to be used alongside it as part of a coordinated blemish-care routine. 'Planning set' in Korean skincare typically means the combination is curated for use together rather than as a trial kit. It is the appropriate choice if you want to start a complete blemish-care routine with products from the same brand that are designed to work in sequence.
Who is the Ongdal Sam Skin and Lotion Set suited for?
The Ongdal Sam Skin + 2 Lotion Set is best suited for normal to dry skin looking to establish or simplify a hydration routine. The combination of a toner (skin) and lotion covers the first two steps of a Korean skincare hydration sequence - toner hydrates the surface immediately post-cleanse, and lotion provides a lightweight moisture layer before any richer cream step. It works well as a starter set for someone new to Korean skincare, or as a value purchase for someone already using one of these products and wanting to add the matching companion.
What does the isoi Rose Original Handy Set include?
The Rose Original Handy Set includes three products from isoi's rose line: a rolling perfume, a hand cream, and a sponge soap. Together they form a hand-care and fragrance routine built around Bulgarian rose extract. The set is well-suited as a desk or bag kit, a travel set, or a gift - it requires no skin-type matching and appeals broadly as a daily hand and fragrance bundle.
How do I use the isoi Eraser Pack?
Apply the Eraser Pack to clean, dry skin in a thin even layer. Leave on for 5 to 15 minutes (check the product packaging for the specific recommended time). Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Follow immediately with toner and moisturiser - exfoliating treatments can temporarily increase moisture loss, so restoring hydration after rinsing is important. Use 1 to 2 times per week as a treatment step. Using it more frequently than recommended can over-strip the skin barrier.
Which isoi set makes the best gift?
The Rose Original Handy Set is the most universally gift-appropriate - it includes perfume, hand cream, and sponge soap from the rose line, requires no skin-type matching, and works for most recipients as a daily hand care and fragrance bundle. The Lip Treatment Balm Double Set is a safe secondary choice for a lip care-focused gift. The skincare routine sets (Blemish Care Planning, Ongdal Toner/Lotion, Foundation) are better as gifts when you know the recipient's skin type and current concerns - routine products are most useful when matched to the recipient's actual needs.
Why buy the Lip Treatment Balm Double Set instead of one balm?
Two reasons: value and convenience. Lip balm is a regularly used product and buying two at once avoids the disruption when the first one runs out. Practically, having one in your bag and one at your desk or bedside makes consistent application much easier - the main reason people skip lip care is not finding the product when they need it. Lip treatment balms (as opposed to basic petroleum jelly) work best with consistent daily and nightly use, so having a second one accessible supports that habit.
Is the Pure Moisture Foundation Set formulated to work with isoi skincare products?
Yes, the set bundles the Ongdal Samskin toner and Takwol Lotion with the foundation specifically because they are designed to be layered together. Korean base makeup is formulated with the expectation that it will go over a prepared skin surface (toner + lotion), and isoi's foundation is matched to the skincare products in this set to minimise pilling, sheering, or texture conflicts that can occur when mismatched products are layered. If you are already using the isoi toner or lotion and want to add a foundation, this set provides the compatible option without separate research.
Is a planning set the same as buying products separately, or is there a discount?
Planning sets typically offer a better price-per-unit than buying the same products individually - the 'planning' name in Korean skincare implies a commitment purchase that is rewarded with better value than separate purchases. The exact saving depends on the current pricing; check the set product page against the individual product pages to confirm the difference. Beyond price, the main benefit is the convenience of a curated combination that is already confirmed to work well together.
Can the Ongdal toner and lotion set be used on oily skin?
Oily skin still needs hydration - the misconception that oily skin should skip moisturising steps can actually worsen sebum production as the skin compensates for dehydration. However, the Ongdal Toner/Lotion set with its hydration focus is primarily designed for normal to dry skin. For oily skin, a lighter toner (like the isoi pore or blemish toner variants) combined with a non-comedogenic lightweight gel moisturiser would be a more targeted choice. If you have combination skin with dry zones, the Ongdal set may work well on the drier areas.
