Beauty of Joseon - Ginseng Essence Water

🧴 How To Use

After cleansing, pour a few drops of the essence into your hands and pat gently onto the face and neck.

For deeper hydration, apply 1 or 2 additional layers using the same patting technique — this is known as the "7-skin method" in K-beauty.

Continue with the rest of your skincare routine, such as serum and moisturizer. For best results, use both morning and evening.

Pro Tips:

• Use after cleanser and toner, before serum and moisturizer.
• Always finish your morning routine with sunscreen.
• For maximum glow benefits, layer this essence with a ginseng-based serum for amplified radiance.
• Consistency is key — the best results come with regular, daily use.

Deep Intensive Hydration — Made with 80% ginseng root water, this essence helps maintain deep moisture in the skin for a long time, keeping skin healthy, nourished, and plump.

Barrier Boosting & Antioxidant Protection — The unique Ginseng Complex is rich in saponins, flavonoids, and vitamins B12 and D. It protects the skin from UV-related damage, pollution, and daily environmental stressors while delivering powerful antioxidant benefits.

Brightening & Even Skin Tone — Niacinamide (2%) helps balance moisture and oil levels, controls sebum secretion, evens out skin tone, refines texture, and reinforces the skin's moisture barrier.

Anti-Ageing & Firming — Ginseng improves blood circulation and oxygen delivery to the skin, promotes collagen production, and helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Adenosine (0.04%) further supports skin repair, smoothing, and firmness.

Soothing & Calming — Allantoin, Panthenol (Vitamin B5), and Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate (Licorice Root) calm irritated or inflamed skin, reduce redness, and soothe sensitivity.

Gentle Exfoliation — This essence smooths out dead skin cell buildup on the surface, improving skin texture and revealing a more radiant complexion over time.

Hyperpigmentation Reduction — The saponin content in ginseng has been shown to help prevent pigmentation caused by UV rays by inhibiting tyrosinase, the enzyme involved in melanin production.

Clinically proven to be non-irritating and safe for sensitive skin, according to a Sensitive Skin 24hr Patch Test conducted by Korea Dermatology Research Institute on 33 subjects.

Suitable for all skin types. Especially beneficial for dry, dull, dehydrated, and mature skin types. Also excellent for oily and combination skin due to niacinamide's sebum-controlling properties. Safe for sensitive skin.
