beautyofjoseon Ginseng Essence Water 150ml

An essence water rooted in centuries of Korean medicine. Ginseng, recorded in the Donguibogam under the name "Shincho" — the herb of the gods — forms the very base of this formula at 80%. Not a diluted extract buried at the bottom of the ingredient list, but a root water that shapes the entire product.

Texture and key ingredients — The formula is built on a 63% Panax Ginseng root water, complemented by a ginseng complex that combines root extract, berry extract, and a Lactobacillus/Panax Ginseng Root fermented filtrate — fermentation increases the bioavailability of active ingredients by helping them penetrate the skin more effectively. The saponins naturally found in ginseng help carry hydration deep into the skin and lock it in. Niacinamide at 2% regulates sebum production to keep the skin's moisture balance in check. Sodium hyaluronate and allantoin round out the hydrating action without weighing down the texture, which remains light and watery.

How to use it — After cleansing and removing makeup, pour a few drops into the palms, then gently pat all over the face — the patting gesture, a staple of Korean skincare rituals, encourages absorption without rubbing. This essence is used as the first step of your routine, before moisturiser or serum, to prepare the skin to receive what comes next. The 150 ml bottle is well-suited for daily morning and evening use over several weeks.

• 80% ginseng water base — ginseng is not a supporting ingredient here, it is the main raw material of the formula.
• Triple ginseng complex: root extract, berry extract, and fermented filtrate for a gradual, deep-acting effect.
• 2% niacinamide to regulate sebum and maintain the skin's oil-water balance.
• Light, watery texture, designed to be patted in — great for combination, oily, or shine-prone skin.
• 150 ml bottle for long-lasting twice-daily use, so you won't need to restock anytime soon.
