Beauty of Joseon, Ginseng Essence Water 150ml (5 fl.oz.)

Discover the luxurious rejuvenating skin benefits of Korea's favourite traditional herb with Beauty Of Joseon's cult-classic Ginseng Essence Water - A nourishing gel toner enriched with 80% Ginseng water to provide intensive moisture and promote improved skin elasticity. Truly a love letter to Ginseng, this gorgeous toner showcases the best of the root in multiple forms such as Ginseng water, real root extract, and even a fermented complex to leave skin feeling plumped with moisture for an all-day glow. The Beauty of Joseon Ginseng Essence Water is recommended for dry, combination, damaged, mature and dehydrated skin. This essence helps plump and smooth the skin from fine lines and boosts elasticity. Its formula is made to deeply hydrate and revitalize the skin. When researching for this post, I found out that the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety in Korea (MFDS) fined BOJ over the claims of their ginseng quality. They use cultivated ginseng which is less expensive and subsequently has fewer benefits.Yes, it’s hydrating and does make my skin look healthy glowy with regular use (ofc, there are other products I use with it as well)…I think it also calms my skin. It pairs well with all my other toners, serums even with actives like niacinamide, bha(cosrx power liquid)and ahas (cosrx aha7).With the major percentage of ginseng it has, I do have to try it with vit c and pycnogenol to see if the antioxidant effects are boosted.🤔🤔🤔 …but that’s a story for another day or maybe a review update for later😅 The formula contains 80% ginseng root water plus various ginseng derivatives to form the ginseng complex. Ginseng has a long-rooted (get it?) history in Korean herbal medicine, and it makes sense that a brand based on historical herbal methods would create a ginseng-based essence. Firstly, ginseng is an anti-inflammatory, so this essence should help with calming and reducing puffiness. Ginseng also contains an abundance of antioxidants which can reduce signs of premature aging. Research also shows that it might be useful for wound healing as it promotes fibroblast (nice type of cells in our skin that produce skin-firming collagen) proliferation.
