Beauty of Joseon Ginseng Essence Water Hydrating Face Toner for Dry, Dull Skin. Korean Moisturizing Skin Care for Men and Women 150ml, 5.07 fl.oz.

Update: I reorder this whenever I am out - I love what it does to and for my skin. They also have a ginseng/snail mucin mix that works so well for my rosacea redness. If I use CosRX centella asiatica toner, then this ginseng essence, and top it off with either CoxRX snail mucin or the BOJ ginseng/smail mucin, my skin is not only glowing with a healthy glow, but the redness is very much calmed down! That's all I have on my face as I write this and my skin feels wonderful. I will add some retinoid and/or moisturizer later. Love it! -------------------- This is my first try of Beauty of Joseon and I would definitely try other products from this brand. My skin loves K-beauty, and as well I often find some K-beauty brands are not as pricey. This one is reasonably priced and a little goes a long way so that makes the value better as well. I love how you have to 'shake out' a bit of the essence so that it isn't wasted - not to much comes out at a time and you don't need much. A few shakes onto my palm and I pat and then press the essence onto my skin. Patting and pressing works better than trying to 'rub' it onto the skin. I do a multi-step routine - since I work remotely, I have the time to take my time. I cleanse and immediately use a toner--though this is both essence and toner, right now I have a separate milky toner. I sometimes apply this essence right after toning or I'll wait 10-15 minutes. I wait another 15 minutes or more and then comes my vitamin c. Waiting between each product allows it time to absorb into my skin (at least this is what my research indicates). It also gives my skin time to settle down between products. I apply my serums and moisturizers, and SPF last when I'm leaving the house. Essences are mostly water and that's what they are supposed to be so don't expect something thicker or emollient. Essences are made to go on early in your routine, after cleansing, whether you use them as a toner or just an added step after toning as I'm doing right now until my milky toner runs out and then I will use this as one step toning and essence and see how that goes. I have rosacea-prone skin and there is zero irritation or redness, no burning or itchy feeling. My skin tolerates this essence very well. It leaves my skin looking bright and refreshed. There is 2% Niacinamide included, which is a form of vitamin B and though it's a small amount, it's still a powerhouse ingredient. Ginseng is known for its anti-aging qualities, inflammation reducing, and brightening for the skin. I'm happy with my order.

I have oily combo skin that's acne prone but I got this as preventative skincare since ginseng is known to be anti-aging and I'm in my 20s. Right of the bat, I love how the packaging feels, it's very nice quality since it's sleek and has a weight to it. The product itself has no fragrance at all which will work well for people who are sensitive to fragrances. The consistency is slightly thicker than water but it's still very runny! This absorbs so well into the skin and doesn't feel tacky at all, I find that this is very moisturizing on my skin. After the first few uses, I can definitely see an overall improvement in my skin health and it gave my skin a nice glow. After using it for a while, my skin barrier has been a lot better! I don't see any anti-aging benefits yet, but that's also because I don't have fine-lines yet. But overall, this product is great for the skin barrier and glow! Your face will feel very soft

The serum doesn’t work for me probably due to snail mucin. But this one works well. Gives a good hydration and an even color to the skin

My skin has gotten more sensitive and a little thinner, now that I’m older, so I cannot use actual toners. Essences work a lot better now. Very glad to know they exist! This is the third essence I’ve tried and it’s my very favorite. It moisturizes your face lightly while you’re getting your other products ready, after you’ve just cleansed. And it’s very gentle and moisturizing, also helping your other subsequent products soak in better. I love that there’s ginseng in it! Hope we can still keep getting these South Korean beauty products. This company is very good, as well as a few others I really like!

This toner is good. Makes your skin feel smoother.

I really do not do reviews but in this case I feel like I have to, to warn people have sensitive skin to be careful if they want to try this skincare line. I ordered my first beauty of Joseon last year I got the ginseng toner, the cleanser and the serum that goes with it. Up on using the product I felt that my skin is healthy and glowing and clear then it have ever been. And to make it clear I have a hyper sensitive skin and on top of that I have eczema so my skin can flare up anytime if it wants to or if I use something that irritates it. Since I use the products for a year everything was doing fine everything was perfect I'm loving the product there's no problem with it my skin is loving it not until the beginning of this year all of a sudden my face broke out. My face started to itch I thought it was just itchy but when I look at it on the mirror I see some redness on my skin and some rash, so basically my face was flaring up but I did not blame it to the skincare that I was using because like I said a year prior everything was perfect so I thought it's just my skin doing its thing and it's going to go away. So I stopped using the skin care line until my face was fully healed so that was about June when my face finally healed from the flare-up that I had from the beginning of the this year. I didn't use the toner because I ran out, but I still have the oil based cleanser and I'm being using it on and off and my face is okay it didn't flare up it no allergic reaction or anything like that. decided to reorder the toner Plus the light vitamin C serum and got delivered yesterday, so I opened up the new bottle of toner and the vitamin C light serum and use it exactly at 9:40 p.m.. but when 3:00 a.m. came left corner of my lips was kind of itchy so I checked it out on the mirror and it was red and I was praying in my heart that it wasn't from the toner and the term that I used prior before going to work. But as the morning progress the T-Zone area on my face flared up now it have a full-blown allergic reaction it have this small type of rash and it's red and it's itchy. So I am sad to say I am discontinuing using the toner and serum. before knowing that the cause of my previous allergic reaction was this skin care line I reordered the snail serum as well because I was using that last year and I really like the results. Now I'm sad because not only did I feel like I wasted my money now I don't know what to do with this brand new products especially the snail serum that is going to be delivered tomorrow. So in conclusion for all of the people who have sensitive skin and their skin can be easily irritated please be careful before buying this or any type of skin care. Just make myself clear I'm not saying the product is not good because like I said I love the product and it worked on me last year when i got it.

Beauty of Joseon never fails. This is so moisturizing.

Esta esencia de agua de ginseng de Beauty of Joseon se ha convertido en un básico de mi rutina. La uso justo después del tónico y se nota cómo aporta una hidratación inmediata, calma y frescura sin saturar la piel. Tiene una textura acuosa que se absorbe al instante, ideal para pieles sensibilizadas o que usan activos como la tretinoína. El único detalle que no me entusiasma es el leve olor herbal por el ginseng; no es desagradable, pero preferiría que fuera más neutro. Aun así, los resultados son excelentes. Muy recomendable como primer paso después del tónico para quienes buscan una hidratación eficaz y suave.

Aktuell besteht meine Hautpflegeroutine ausschließlich aus Produkten von Beauty of Joseon. Auch mit diesem Toner/Essenz bin ich sehr glücklich. Die Haut ist erfrischt, gepflegt und bereit für die weiteren Schritte. Es zieht schnell ein, hinterlässt keine klebrige oder backsige Schicht auf der Haut. Würde auch 6 Sterne vergeben, wenn es ginge!

Great toner, my skin instantly is soothed and nourished. My daughter is co using it with me it calms her acne following facial treatments.

Hydrate bien. Je l'utilise matin et soir avant le sérum et tout le tralala. Il n'y a pas d'odeur.

this is my 2nd bottle ( i ordered the 1st from a different website that only delivered original items), the product is well sealed but was quite warm (it is summer but i still believe such items must be delivered in temperature control vehicles to maintain it in a good shape) i received 2 days before the estimated delivery date which was a plus. the product has a watery consistency, very mild (and pleasant earthly) scent, it maintains the skin barrier, prevents dryness, gives a beautifully subtle glow and with continuous use, heals redness and breakouts. perfect for layering. i use it as 1st essence and as many times per day as i feel like. highly recommend it. this is even better than the snail mucin essence by cosrx. especially if layered before numbuzn number 3 essence. perfect for summer and winter times. can be used on its own if your skin is not super dry.
