Makgeolli Serum

If your skin needs a boost of vitality, this serum is one of those products that will make a real difference for your face. Makgeolli Serum by House of Dohwa is inspired by the Korean tradition of makgeolli, a fermented rice beverage renowned for its antioxidant and revitalizing benefits. Its formula harnesses the same fermentation process to create a cocktail of actives that your skin absorbs more effectively and uses more efficiently.

Its light, slightly creamy, and very comfortable texture melts instantly, leaving a juicy sensation that doesn’t feel heavy or leave residue. It’s perfect for those looking for a serum that deeply hydrates while also improving firmness and the appearance of tired or dull skin. At the heart of this formula are the ferments: Galactomyces and Saccharomyces/Rice Ferment, two K-beauty favorites known for brightening, improving texture, and promoting skin regeneration. These ferments help the serum absorb better and make its benefits more noticeable.

They are complemented by a nourishing base of Icheon rice extract and rice bran, rich in vitamins and minerals that provide softness and a more even tone. Niacinamide further enhances the brightening effect and helps strengthen the skin barrier, while adenosine works directly on elasticity to smooth fine lines and improve firmness. Finally, ceramide NP acts as a protective seal, locking hydration into the skin for hours. The result is a serum that transforms dull, dehydrated, or aging skin, leaving it firmer, plumper, and more radiant.
