1 / 4Ginseng Essence Water
A light, watery essence that puts ginseng root water — the classic ingredient of Korean herbal tradition — at the very top of its ingredient list. It slips in right after cleansing as a first layer of hydration, absorbing quickly with no residue. Especially suited to dry, dull, or mature skin, though the weightless feel works for nearly everyone.
More detail
Ginseng root water leads the formula, bringing hydration along with the antioxidants the root is known for, while niacinamide helps balance oil and moisture levels; glycerin, sodium hyaluronate, panthenol, licorice, and allantoin round out the hydrating, soothing base. The texture is barely thicker than water and leaves no film, so it's made for layering under serums and creams. After cleansing, press a few drops in with your palms or sweep it outward from the center of the face with a cotton pad, morning and night. It's alcohol-free and fragrance- and essential-oil-free, and the brand reports non-irritating results in patch testing, making it an easy essence for sensitive skin to try.
