Lovely essence that's not over-priced
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.

Made My Skin Healthier!
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

6 orders later and I’m still obsessed
This is officially my 6th bottle, which should tell you everything you need to know. This toner is the MVP of my routine. It’s incredibly hydrating but light enough to fit beautifully with everything else I slosh on my face. It’s one of those rare products where you can actually feel the difference when it’s gone. It’s an absolute steal for how well it works. 10/10, would (AND WILL) buy a 7th time.

Super nice
I love this toner! It feels super refreshing and leaves my skin hydrated and glowing without any stickiness. The ginseng scent is light and relaxing. My skin texture has improved since I started using it definitely a new staple in my skincare routine.

Best essence for me!
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 product was all over my instagram..
The Beauty of Joseon Ginseng Essence Water is a popular Korean skincare product that combines traditional herbal ingredients with modern skincare science. Here's a review of this essence water based on its performance and qualities: Pros: 1. Hydration: This essence water is exceptionally hydrating, making it an excellent choice for those with dry or dehydrated skin. It provides a surge of moisture that leaves the skin feeling plump and refreshed. 2. Key Ingredient: Ginseng: Ginseng is a renowned traditional Korean skincare ingredient known for its anti-aging and skin-firming properties. This product contains a high concentration of ginseng extract, which can help improve skin texture and elasticity over time. 3. Lightweight Texture: The essence water has a lightweight and watery consistency that absorbs quickly into the skin. It's suitable for layering with other skincare products in your routine. 4. Brightening Effect:t This product contributes to a brighter complexion and helps even out skin tone. The ginseng extract is believed to enhance skin radiance. 5. Gentle and Suitable for Sensitive Skin: This essence water is formulated without parabens, artificial fragrances, or other potentially irritating ingredients. It's suitable for sensitive skin types and is dermatologist-tested. 6. Packaging: The product is packaged in a beautiful glass bottle that adds a touch of luxury to your skincare routine. The pump dispenser is convenient and hygienic. Cons: 1. Scent: I find the scent of this product to be slightly herbal or medicinal, which could be a personal preference issue. However, the scent dissipates quickly upon application. 2. Price: Beauty of Joseon products are considered to be on the higher end of the Korean skincare spectrum. While the quality justifies the cost for many, it may not fit everyone's budget. 3. Not Ideal for Oily Skin: Due to its rich hydration properties, this essence water may feel heavy on oily or acne-prone skin. It's better suited for individuals with dry to normal skin types. In conclusion, the Beauty of Joseon Ginseng Essence Water is a highly effective and hydrating skincare product, particularly well-suited for those with dry or dehydrated skin. Its star ingredient, ginseng, provides anti-aging and brightening benefits over time. The lightweight texture and gentle formula make it a popular choice among skincare enthusiasts, although the price may be a consideration for some. If you're looking to incorporate the benefits of ginseng into your skincare routine and prioritize hydration and luminosity, this essence water is worth considering, especially if you appreciate the luxurious packaging and Korean skincare traditions.

Tolles Produkt, hält was es verspricht!
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!

original
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.
