## AI summary

This hydrating ginseng essence is designed as a preparatory step in your facial skincare routine. Users particularly appreciate its very lightweight, watery texture that is instantly absorbed by the skin without leaving a greasy or sticky film. It visibly contributes to a brighter complexion, smoother skin, and improves the overall appearance of the face over time. However, a few users note that its hydrating power may be insufficient for very dry skin if it is not paired with a cream. Additionally, its natural ginseng scent, although light, receives mixed reviews and may not appeal to everyone.

## Weaknesses

Absorption rapide, prepare la peau avant le sérum. Odeur particulière mais c'est un bon produit sans parfum

### 4.0/5 · Djohn · February 25, 2025
La parfum est agréable, la contenance est généreuse et le prix raisonnable. Mais malheureusement quand je l’applique, j’ai des picotements, j’ai des boutons et des plaques rouges donc sans doutes allergique. J’ai dû l’arrêté et depuis tout va bien avec le reste des produits du pack peaux sensibles.

### 5.0/5 · tyisha taylor · December 15, 2024
I used this as a Toner or Essence.Depending on what serums I'm using.It leaves my skin hydrated.

### 4.0/5 · Asia RILLI · December 15, 2024
Odeur pas terrible avec peu de senteur et s’il y en a une, elle n’est pas trop agréable.Mais à part ça, le produit aidé conformément à l’entretien de la peau après lavages et rend la peau plus lisse et curée après application. Donc le produit est tout de même recommendable.

### 5.0/5 · ricochet rabbit 212 · December 15, 2024
I am a subscriber to this essence. I first got it at a shop. always been fan of Beauty of Joseon but never used this. I've used up 2 bottles now and currently subscribed to receive this every 4 months. This last a long time. Mybskin drinks it up absorbing very well. Lightweight, high quality with ginseng, softens my skin to prepare for serum and moistimureizer. Affordable and very good quality. This is an authentic product. Slightly sticky at first but dries down very quickly. For any skin type. I have combination skin that's dry, some parts oily and sensitive as well. and I am over 50yr old i use high end skincare and this. A+++I hope my review was helpful to you. Have a beautiful day!

This works so good, make your skin soft, smooth and happy.

### 5.0/5 · Min K · December 15, 2024
This is the best toner I’ve used so far! It has really improved my skin texture and skin feels more hydrated.

### 5.0/5 · Kayla · December 15, 2024
Ive been repurchasing this product for a while. My skin is acne prone and combination. This essence toner is NOT heavy at all! It does NOT leave a residue nor does it feel like you have something sitting your skin. It is highly absorbent and has the consistency of water. I notice after my skin feels hydrated and has a soft dewy look to it. I love this because as i layer my skin care products on top, it blends together seamlessly .

### 5.0/5 · Elena DeMicco · December 15, 2024
Great absorbency, not heavy or sticky at all and layers great with other products. Not my favorite smell but gentle and leaves my skin feeling amazing.
