Ginseng Essence Water

If there is only one skincare essence I can pick to use for the rest of my life, it’ll be this one.

I have fungal-acne-prone skin and knowing how most essences – especially in Asian skincare, are usually formulated with fermented ingredients, I find it tricky to find essences that suit my skin. Fermented ingredients are great to combat the signs of ageing whilst delivering ample of nourishment for the skin but unfortunately, my skin isn’t a fan. Fortunately, this beautiful essence that contains a high concentration of ginseng extracts helps to deliver the same benefits and does not contain high fermented ingredients on the list!

Key Ingredients

• 80% Panax Ginseng Root Water – helps to hydrate the skin, great anti-ageing skincare ingredient
• 2% Niacinamide – a well-loved skincare ingredient that needs no introduction. Great to regulate sebum production, helps lighten post inflammation mark

Ginseng + Snail Mucin Revive Serum

This is my second bottle and I am still a fan of this serum. This is their renewed version where they change the name from repair to revive and change of manufacturer as well. Other than that, everything else stays as awesome as the original version, including the key ingredients and benefits.

Key Ingredients

• 63% Ginseng Root Water – packed with anti-aging properties that helps with wrinkles, skin’s elasticity and nourishment
• 3% Snail Secretion Filtrate – a well-known Kbeauty skincare ingredient that helps to repair damaged skin and promotes regeneration of skin cells

Texture

It has a warm, brown ginseng shade with just a slight goopy texture due to its snail secretion content. Has a faint herbal scent, nothing too overpowering

Revive Eye Serum: Ginseng + Retinal

Ever since its launch, I’ve been EYEing (geddit? lol) this eye serum because of the main ingredients used – ginseng and retinal.

Key ingredients

• 2% Retinal Liposome – stabilized retinal that is well-known to reduce the signs of wrinkles & helps with skin’s elasticity
• 10% Ginseng Root Extract – supplies undereye with moisture deep into the skin
