Dull tone, skin that looks tired rather than lit
O21 Black Swan Galactomyces + Vitamin C Glow Gift Set
The serum lists galactomyces ferment filtrate at 48,500 mg as its first ingredient, so the liquid doing the carrying is the ferment itself rather than water.

How it works
Why a ferment base is different from a ferment claim
Ferment replaces the water
Most serums list water first. This one lists galactomyces ferment filtrate at 48,500 mg.
Niacinamide rides in second
so the brightening-type active is not a trace addition; it sits above every other ingredient except the ferment.
Then the cream seals it
which means the watery serum step is held in place instead of evaporating off a bare surface.
Printed on the serum panel: Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate 48,500 mg, listed first; 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) 1,000 ppm; Niacinamide listed second.
Hero ingredient
The figure printed on the serum panel
Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate
Listed first at 48,500 mg, which is close to the whole 50 ml serum by weight.
What this won’t do
A tone set. It will not fade an established dark spot, and the vitamin C here is 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid at 1,000 ppm, which is a gentle dose rather than a clinical one.

The lit-from-within glow, in one set
Tired of skin that looks tired? Dull, uneven, a little flat by mid-afternoon? The O21 Black Swan Gift Set is built around the two ingredients K-beauty leans on most for that glassy, lit-from-within look: galactomyces ferment filtrate and vitamin C. Galactomyces is a fermented yeast filtrate prized in Korean skincare for refining texture and leaving skin looking clearer and more luminous. Vitamin C is the classic brightening antioxidant that helps even out the look of tone and adds glow. Put them together across a serum, a rich cream and a sheet mask, and you get a complete glow ritual rather than a set of unrelated single products.
Galactomyces + Vitamin C: the glow duo
These two actives do different jobs that add up to the same result. Galactomyces ferment filtrate works on clarity and moisture: it supports a soft, refined surface so skin looks plumper and more even. Vitamin C works on radiance: as an antioxidant it helps defend against the dullness that comes from daily environmental stress, and it brightens the overall look of the complexion. Used morning and night across the set, the pairing builds a visibly brighter, glowier finish over a few weeks of consistent use — the kind of glow that looks like good skin rather than highlighter.

- Follow with the Black Swan Cream to seal in the serum, morning and evening
- In the morning, finish with SPF before makeup
- Once or twice a week, swap in a Sheet Mask for 15–20 minutes after toning, then pat in the leftover essence
- Optional: use the massage tool to press products in and give a spa-style finish
- For best glow, give the vitamin C a few weeks of consistent daily use
Who this is for
- Anyone whose skin looks dull, flat, or uneven and wants that lit-from-within glow back

- Gift-buyers after a complete, ready-to-wrap K-beauty set rather than a single jar
- Routine-builders who'd rather start with a matched serum-cream-mask trio than guess at separate brands

Frequently asked questions
Can I use galactomyces and vitamin C together every day?
Yes. This set is designed to be layered morning and night, with the serum first and the cream on top. Galactomyces is gentle and works well with daily use, while vitamin C is best applied consistently to build up its brightening glow. If your skin is new to vitamin C, start once a day for the first week and build up to twice daily as it gets comfortable.
What is the massage tool for?
The set includes a small facial massage / gua-sha tool. It has no skincare ingredients of its own — use it after the serum or cream to press the products in and give a relaxing, spa-style finish. It is entirely optional; the serum, cream and mask work perfectly well on their own.
How long does the set last, and is it good value?
With twice-daily use, the 50 ml serum comfortably lasts a few months and the 50 g cream a similar stretch, while the sheet masks cover roughly 5–10 weekly sessions. Buying the coordinated set usually works out more economical than picking up the serum, cream and masks separately, and the four pieces are formulated to layer cleanly.
Is this set okay for sensitive or combination skin?
The formulas are built for all skin types and lean on hydrating, soothing-feeling ingredients like hyaluronic acid and glycerin alongside the actives. Combination and oily skin can use the lightweight serum all over and apply the cream more sparingly where skin feels drier. As with any new vitamin C product, patch-test on your inner arm first if your skin tends to react.
