Sooryehan buying guide: hanbang skincare, tiers, and how to choose
Sooryehan is a Korean hanbang brand, meaning its formulas lean on traditional herbal medicine ingredients rather than the latest lab actives. The line is organised into tiers, from a gentle Beginner range to the richer Huayun products, so this guide explains what each tier is for and how to put a routine together.
What hanbang skincare means
Hanbang refers to skincare built on Korean herbal medicine, using plant and root extracts that have a long history in traditional remedies. Sooryehan formulates in this tradition, so its products tend toward warm, comforting textures and a focus on nourishment and resilience rather than fast exfoliation. If you prefer gentle, plant-led skincare over strong acids or retinoids, this is the kind of range that suits you. We carry 126+ Sooryehan items in stock, covering the brand's main tiers.
The This Beginner line, step by step
The This Beginner range is Sooryehan's entry tier and the easiest place to start. It runs as a full routine: This Cleansing Foam to wash, This Beginner Skin (a toner-style first step), This Beginner's Emulsion to add light moisture, This Beginner's Essence for a treatment layer, and This Beginner's Cream to seal everything in. Because the steps are designed to work together, you can buy the line as a set and follow the order on the box without piecing products together yourself.
The Huayun tier for richer care
Huayun sits above the Beginner line and aims at people who want a more concentrated, nourishing routine. The Huayun Cream (25ml) is a richer moisturiser, and Huayun Skin (80ml) is the matching first-step toner. This tier suits mature or drier skin, or anyone who finds the Beginner cream too light for winter. You can run the Huayun cream over a Beginner essence if you want to mix tiers rather than commit to the full Huayun routine.
The Black Serum as a treatment step
The Black Serum (60ml) is Sooryehan's standalone treatment product, meant to slot in after your toner and before your cream. A serum is where you concentrate active care, so this is the piece to add when a basic routine feels like it needs more. It layers under either the Beginner or the Huayun cream, which makes it a flexible upgrade for an existing Sooryehan routine.
Soochaewayun cushion for base makeup
Not everything in the range is skincare. The Soochaewayun Fact (20g) is a cushion-style compact that gives light base coverage with a skincare-leaning finish, in keeping with the brand's hanbang character. It is a fit for people who already use Sooryehan skincare and want a complexion product from the same line. Apply it after your moisturiser as the last step before any colour makeup.
How to choose your tier
Pick by skin type and how rich you want things. Normal or combination skin, or anyone new to hanbang, is well served by the This Beginner line. Dry, mature, or winter-stressed skin tends to do better with the Huayun cream and skin. If you only want to test one product first, The Black Serum or a single Beginner cream is a low-commitment way to learn whether the brand's herbal textures suit you before buying a full set.
Building a Sooryehan routine
A complete routine reads top to bottom: cleanse with This Cleansing Foam, then apply Skin, Emulsion, Essence, and Cream in that order. Slot The Black Serum in after the Essence step when you want extra treatment. For a heavier night routine, swap the Beginner cream for the Huayun cream as your final seal. Keeping to the brand's own step order is the simplest way to get the layering right, since the products are formulated as a system.
Korean sourcing and authenticity
Sooryehan is sold mainly in Korea and is not widely stocked abroad, so sourcing matters. Every product in this collection ships from Korea, which keeps the batches current and the packaging in its proper Korean retail form. For a hanbang brand whose appeal rests on its herbal formulas, buying from the home market is the most reliable way to get the genuine product rather than aged or grey-market stock.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What kind of brand is Sooryehan?
Sooryehan is a Korean hanbang skincare brand, meaning its formulas are built on traditional herbal medicine ingredients. It leans toward gentle, nourishing textures rather than strong acids or retinoids. We list 126+ Sooryehan products in stock, organised into a Beginner tier and the richer Huayun tier.
What is the This Beginner line and is it for new users?
The This Beginner line is Sooryehan's entry tier and the easiest starting point. It runs as a full routine: This Cleansing Foam, This Beginner Skin, This Beginner's Emulsion, This Beginner's Essence, and This Beginner's Cream. The steps are made to work together, so you can buy the line as a set and follow the order on the box.
Should I choose the Beginner line or the Huayun tier?
Pick by skin type. Normal or combination skin, or anyone new to hanbang, suits the This Beginner line. Dry, mature, or winter-stressed skin tends to do better with the Huayun Cream (25ml) and Huayun Skin (80ml), which are richer. You can also run the Huayun cream over a Beginner essence if you want to mix tiers.
What does The Black Serum do and where does it go?
The Black Serum (60ml) is Sooryehan's standalone treatment step. It goes after your toner and before your cream, which is where a serum concentrates active care. It layers under either the Beginner or the Huayun cream, so it works as an upgrade to an existing Sooryehan routine.
Is the Soochaewayun Fact a foundation or skincare?
The Soochaewayun Fact (20g) is a cushion-style compact for light base coverage with a skincare-leaning finish, in keeping with the brand's hanbang character. It is makeup, not skincare, so apply it after your moisturiser as the last step before any colour products.
What order do I apply Sooryehan products in?
Follow the brand's own step order: cleanse with This Cleansing Foam, then apply Skin, Emulsion, Essence, and Cream. Slot The Black Serum in after the Essence when you want extra treatment, and swap in the Huayun cream as your final seal for a heavier night routine. The products are formulated as a system, so keeping the order is the simplest way to layer them.
Is Sooryehan good for dry or mature skin?
Yes, especially the Huayun tier. The Huayun Cream and Huayun Skin are richer and more nourishing than the Beginner line, which makes them a good fit for dry, mature, or winter-stressed skin. The hanbang herbal formulas focus on comfort and resilience rather than exfoliation.
Where do these Sooryehan products ship from?
They ship from Korea, where Sooryehan is mainly sold. The brand is not widely stocked abroad, so home-market sourcing keeps the batches current and the packaging in its proper Korean retail form. For a hanbang brand, that is the most reliable way to get the genuine product.
