This is my first ginseng product and while I really enjoy it and would possibly buy it again, I'm not sure it makes that big a difference on my skin. I have been using it twice a day for a month, and once a day in the last two weeks. I do believe in ginseng as a useful ingredient for anti-aging, but I think it's something where you see results more in the long term, or maybe by using several products with ginseng instead of just an essence or toner. This does feel very pleasant to use, it has a watery texture that absorbs very well as my first essence and definitely makes my skin more hydrated.

I'm in my forties with relatively normal but sensitive skin in a cold climate. In winter and now spring, I am doing 5-9 layers of essence and toners, plus a serum, moisturizer and sunscreen during the day, and alternating retinol and glycolic acid at night. I do like Beauty of Joseon products in general, they are great for sensitive skin like mine.

It also contains an abundance of antioxidants which help fight and reduce signs of premature ageing.On top of all that, there is 2% niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, allantoin and adenosine, so you get all the benefits of ginseng + brightening, hydrating, moisturising and skin smoothing.The texture is just a smidge thicker than water, no added fragrances, it absorbs really fast and it can be layered/used in a multilayer routine.

Great!
22 April 2023

Firstly, the texture of the essence was very lightweight and absorbed easily into my skin, leaving no greasy residue or tackiness. Secondly, I noticed that my skin felt softer and smoother after just a few uses. Additionally, I have some fine lines on my forehead, and I did notice some improvement in their appearance after using the ginseng essence for a couple of weeks.One thing I particularly liked about this ginseng essence was the scent - it was subtle and not overwhelming, which is important to me as I prefer skincare products that aren't heavily fragranced.Overall, I would definitely recommend trying a ginseng essence, especially if you're looking for a lightweight, hydrating product that can help improve the overall health and appearance of your skin.

Holy Grail of Skincare

As stated in the title- my new holy grail. I have ADHD and struggle to stick to a skincare routine, so I often forget to do my thang. THIS BABY? lemme tell you oh my God. evens out my skin, moisturizes, soaks in quite fast for a liquid, feels smooth, calms my skin, reduces my acne, makes me GLOW. The ADHD thing I mentioned- sometimes I stick to my routine religiously for weeks, sometimes I forget completely for ages. I know I've skipped my routine when my skin starts looking dull- the DAY after I apply this ONE PRODUCT my skin looks like a baby's butt. If I remember to use it 2-3 times a week I maintain that. I put it on at night before bed and/or under makeup. I have sensitive skin. its never made me break out. Ginseng is God.

Im getting another for my sister who also has ADHD and has resorted to just cleanser and moisturizer. I love this, I will marry this. BOJ products are my life, I would sell my soul to this company. 4-6 drops is enough for your face, this should last several months even if you apply daily. do it. get the thing. THIS IS YOUR SIGN

Hydrating Goodness
29 November 2022

Great for dry skin. Unsure if it's too much for oily portions. It's been a few weeks and I'm still trying to determine if it's too much for oily skin. I also have sensitive skin and no breakouts either. The red ginseng smell is not very strong, but it's there and really pleasant. The scent dissipates quickly. The essence, once dried, is a little tacky, but not sticky. It's probably best described as dewy feeling. Overall, it's a great essence and I'd get it again!

Hydrating!
2 June 2023

I have combination, rosacea prone skin so I always look for products that don't contain essential oils or fragrance. This essence ticks those boxes, so I thought I'd try it. The consistency is very watery, but it has enough slip to be able to apply it evenly. It is wonderfully hydrating and it can be layered without being sticky. I find it preps my skin well for the application of serums or my prescription azelaic acid. I also like it underneath sunscreen as it keeps my skin from feeling tight. I wouldn't say it does anything for skin tone, but that's not what I bought it for!

It's an okay toner
28 February 2023

I'm about halfway through this bottle and I wish I liked it more. It does the job, it smells lightly of ginseng, but at the end of the day I don't think it's much to write home about. But this is the best product I've tried from the brand- the serums were too thin and the cleansing balm is also bog standard but the packaging on both feel light in a cheap way. This toner has the same plastic components, but for the amount and color of the product it looks and feels elegant to use (similar to the experience of using I'm From products at a lower price), however, at the end of the day I'm not planning on repurchasing once I run out.

Nice and calming
10 September 2022

I'm enjoying using this Essence Water as an alternative to my usual toners, which all seem to contain potent, active ingredients.Most of my toners contain retinol, aha's, bha's or Vitamin C but I'm trying to build up my more gentle toners.When I bought this, I didn't realise it contains 2% Niacinamide, which is an active ingredient but its benefits are supportive of what I want from this toner. Niacinamide helps build keratin, which helps keep skin firm . It helps skin grow a ceramide barrier, which helps your skin retain moisture. It reduces inflammation, which can help redness, rosacea, eczema and acne.Ginseng is a root and is a natural skin balancer. It's energising and will boost and brighten dull skin.

It's an antioxidant and can help inhibit melanin production, which is great if you suffer with hyperpigmentation, like me. It boosts blood circulation, which is great for collagen production , leading to firmer, plumper, younger looking skin. It's beneficial for every skin type and has been used in Korean skincare for hundreds of years. I have read that is was the biggest skincare secret of Hwang Jini, who was noted for her exceptional beauty in the Joseon Dynasty.The toner itself is light and fresh and has an earthy scent. Immediately after cleansing, I like to saturate a cotton wool pad and gently sweep it over my face.I purchased it from Stylevana.com, who always have amazing offers on Korean Skincare.

I've been trying to find out where I went wrong and this is one of the only new products I've added. Then I came over here and I found very similar reviews. I am really really hoping it's not this but rather the bright green wash off mask I got in my Ipsy bag this month.I am no longer going to use the ipsy mask and will try adding in this essence again next week. I love Beauty of Joseon so much and have never had issues with other products of theirs. I will update next week and I have my fingers crossed it was just that other product. I hate leaving bad reviews but I still love Beauty of Joseon and Soko Glam!
