Sooryehan Sets
Sooryehan sets bring together the brand's hanbang-rooted formulas in one purchase, so you can start a full routine or gift a complete skincare experience. The 24+ sets in this collection range from two-piece essence and cream duos to five-piece planning sets built around the Hyobidam and Angelam lines. Each set pairs complementary steps, such as a fermentation-boosted essence with a rich moisture cream, making it easier to layer products the way they were developed to work together.

Sooryehan Sets: How to Choose the Right One for Your Routine
Sooryehan draws on centuries of Korean hanbang herbalism, combining rare medicinal plant extracts with modern fermentation technology. Their sets make the brand's multi-step philosophy accessible in a single box, whether you want to try the Hyobidam fermentation line, explore the Angelam sun-care range, or find a gift that covers every step from essence to cream.
What Sooryehan Is and Why Sets Make Sense
Sooryehan is a Korean hanbang brand that formulates with fermented herbal ingredients like the Bokon (replenishment) and Bojun (nourishment) complexes found across their Hyobidam line. The brand's approach is layering-first: an essence primes the skin, a serum intensifies hydration, and a cream seals in moisture. Buying individual pieces works, but the planning sets are sized and priced so all three steps ship together, often with a larger format cream included as the set bonus.
This means a two-piece or five-piece Sooryehan set is not just a bundle discount. It is a pre-matched routine built around a shared ingredient complex, so the steps reinforce each other rather than competing.
Hyobidam Sets: Fermentation for Deep Moisture
The Hyobidam line appears across multiple sets in this collection, including the Hyobidam Essence Set of 2 types and the Hyobidam Fermentation 3 Kinds Planning Set. Hyobidam uses a fermented hanbang complex to support the skin barrier and deliver sustained hydration. The Essence Set pairs the lightweight essence with a gel or emulsion, while the 3-piece fermentation set adds a targeted serum or ampoule.
The Hyobidam Moisture Gland Cream 150ml Planning Set is notable for its generous 150ml cream size, which is roughly double the standard retail format. If the Hyobidam cream is already part of your routine, this set gives you the full-size cream alongside the matching essence or toner at a lower per-item cost.
Angelam Sets: Sun Care and Qianyang Complexes
The Angelam line within Sooryehan focuses on brightening and protective care. The Can Angel Sun Oil Basic Cosmetics Set packages the sun-protection step with basic skincare pieces, making it a practical summer or travel bundle. The Angelam Qianyang 2 Kinds Set pairs the Qianyang complex-based products, which use traditional herbal extracts associated with energy restoration and skin brightening.
If you are new to Sooryehan and want to start with a set that covers both daily protection and a hanbang essence, the Angelam planning sets are the most accessible entry point because they explain the Qianyang complex in the packaging rather than assuming prior knowledge of the line.
Beginner Sets vs. Full Planning Sets
The This Beginner Set of 2 Types is explicitly labeled for newcomers to the Sooryehan range. It typically pairs a starter toner with a lightweight lotion, keeping the routine short and the textures straightforward. This is the right pick if you are unsure whether Sooryehan's heavier herbal formulas will suit your skin type before committing to a five-piece set.
The five-piece Secret Book Jinsheng Special Set is at the opposite end of the range. Jinsheng (ginseng) is one of Sooryehan's most concentrated ingredient complexes, and the five-piece format covers every step from softener to eye cream. This is the set to reach for if you already know hanbang-heavy formulas work for your skin and want the full Jinsheng routine in one purchase.
Set Sizes, Travel Formats, and Value
Sooryehan sets in this collection come in several size configurations. Two-piece duos (such as the Set of 2 Types of Bokon or the Set of 2 Types of Bojun) are compact and easier to try without over-committing. Three-piece planning sets add one more step, usually a serum or a second moisturizer. The five-piece sets like the Secret Book Jinsheng Special include travel-sized or sample-sized versions of each step alongside the full-size anchor product.
Travel sets are useful not only for travel but also as a way to test several Sooryehan formulas before buying full sizes individually. The per-step cost in a planning set is generally lower than purchasing each piece separately, and the sets include steps you might otherwise skip when building a routine one product at a time.
Giving a Sooryehan Set as a Gift
Sooryehan's Korean hanbang positioning and premium packaging make its sets a common gift choice for people who want to give something more distinctive than a single-product beauty item. The planning sets come in coordinated boxes with the brand's characteristic dark green and gold design language, which means they arrive looking gift-ready without extra wrapping.
For gifting, the five-piece Angelum Situation True Planning Set or the Secret Book Jinsheng Special 5 Kinds Set cover the most steps and look the most substantial. If you want to keep the gift lighter, the two-piece Hyobidam Essence Set is still a recognizable Sooryehan product without the full-set price.
Key Ingredients Across Sooryehan Sets
Several ingredient names repeat across the sets in this collection. Bokon (보콘) is a replenishment complex that appears in the Bokon two-piece set, built around water-binding and barrier-repair botanicals. Bojun (보준) is a nourishment complex, typically richer in emollients, suited to drier skin. Hyobidam (효비담) is the fermented complex that appears in the most sets and emphasizes long-term hydration over fast surface smoothing.
Qianyang (千陽) extracts appear in the Angelam line and are associated in Korean hanbang practice with energy-activating and brightening herb combinations. Jinsheng (진셍) is the ginseng-based complex in the Secret Book line, known for its firming and vitalizing effects. Understanding which complex matches your concern helps narrow down which set to pick before reading through individual product descriptions.
Which Set Suits Which Skin Type
The Hyobidam sets, particularly the Fermentation 3 Kinds Planning Set, tend to suit dry and combination-dry skin best because fermented hanbang formulas carry a noticeable weight that can feel heavy on oily skin without a lighter base underneath. The Beginner Set of 2 Types with its toner and lotion pairing is lighter and works across more skin types.
The Angelam sun-care sets suit oily-to-normal skin well because the sun oil formula is designed to absorb rather than sit on the surface. Sensitive skin should start with the two-piece Bokon or Bojun sets before trying the denser Jinsheng complex, which is herbally concentrated and occasionally causes warmth or tingling on reactive skin on first use.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is included in the Sooryehan Hyobidam Fermentation 3 Kinds Planning Set?
The Hyobidam Fermentation 3 Kinds Planning Set includes three complementary steps from the Hyobidam fermented hanbang line: typically the essence, a serum or emulsion, and the Hyobidam cream. The exact pieces can vary by production batch, but all three target sustained hydration through Sooryehan's fermented plant complex.
Is the Hyobidam Moisture Gland Cream in the 150ml Planning Set a full-size format?
Yes. The Hyobidam Moisture Gland Cream 150ml Planning Set includes the 150ml cream, which is a larger-than-standard retail format. Standard retail jars typically sell at 60ml or 75ml. The planning set pairs this larger cream with the matching essence, making it a strong value if you already use Hyobidam cream regularly.
What is the difference between the Angelam Qianyang 2 Kinds Set and the Can Angel Sun Oil Basic Set?
The Qianyang 2 Kinds Set focuses on the Qianyang herbal complex, pairing two skincare steps such as an essence and a cream. It is a daily-routine set without specific sun-care positioning. The Can Angel Sun Oil Basic Set is built around the sun-oil formula and packages sun protection alongside basic skincare steps, making it better suited for a summer or UV-exposure-focused routine.
What does the Sooryehan Beginner Set of 2 Types contain?
The Beginner Set of 2 Types pairs a starter toner with a lightweight lotion, giving newcomers a short two-step routine to test Sooryehan's hanbang formulas before committing to a larger planning set. The textures in this set are lighter than the dense Hyobidam or Jinsheng lines, which makes it a lower-risk first purchase.
What does the Secret Book Jinsheng Special 5 Kinds Set include?
The Secret Book Jinsheng Special 5 Kinds Set covers every step of a full Sooryehan routine using the Jinsheng (ginseng) complex: typically a softener, essence, serum, eye cream, and cream. Some versions include a travel-size or sample of one step alongside the full-size anchor. It is Sooryehan's most complete gift set in this collection.
What is the difference between the Sooryehan Bokon Set and the Bojun Set?
Bokon (보콘) focuses on replenishment, using water-binding botanicals to restore skin moisture after cleansing. Bojun (보준) leans toward nourishment, with a richer emollient profile suited to drier skin. Both are two-piece sets. If your skin feels tight or dehydrated, start with Bokon. If it feels flaky or rough, Bojun's heavier formula is the better fit.
How does Sooryehan use fermentation in its skincare sets?
Sooryehan ferments hanbang (Korean traditional herbal medicine) botanicals to break down the plant compounds into smaller molecules that absorb into skin more readily than unfermented extracts. The Hyobidam line is the clearest example: the fermented complex is the key active in both the essence and cream, which is why Sooryehan sells them as a paired set rather than standalone products. Fermentation also extends the bioavailability of the herbs without requiring synthetic penetration enhancers.
What is the Qianyang complex in Sooryehan's Angelam line?
Qianyang (千陽) refers to a blend of energy-activating Korean medicinal herbs in Sooryehan's hanbang pharmacopoeia, traditionally associated with brightening and revitalizing effects. In the Angelam Qianyang Set, this complex is the thread connecting the two included products. It tends to appeal to skin that looks dull or fatigued rather than skin primarily dealing with dryness or sensitivity.
Which Sooryehan sets in this collection work best as gifts?
The Angelum Situation True Planning Set and the Secret Book Jinsheng Special 5 Kinds Set are the most gift-appropriate options because they cover the most routine steps and ship in coordinated boxes. Both arrive looking complete without needing additional wrapping. For a lighter gift, the Hyobidam Essence Set of 2 Types is a recognizable Sooryehan product at a lower price point. Avoid the Beginner Set as a gift if the recipient already has an established Korean skincare routine, since its lighter formulas may feel underwhelming.
Are Sooryehan planning sets suitable for oily skin?
Most Sooryehan planning sets are formulated for normal-to-dry or combination-dry skin. The Hyobidam fermentation sets and the Jinsheng five-piece set use dense textures that can feel heavy on oily skin. The Can Angel Sun Oil Basic Set is the most oily-skin-compatible option in this collection because the sun-oil formula is designed to absorb quickly. For oily skin new to Sooryehan, the Beginner Set of 2 Types is the lowest-weight entry point.
Do Sooryehan sets cost less than buying the individual products separately?
Planning sets at Sooryehan are typically priced below the sum of the individual products, and the larger-format pieces (such as the 150ml cream in the Hyobidam Moisture Gland Cream Planning Set) are not always available as standalone retail items. The value gap is most significant in the five-piece Jinsheng set, where the eye cream and serum would each carry their own price if purchased separately.
