So after work, I cleansed my face, applied my basic skincare, and then, with a nourishing care mindset, I gently applied small amounts of this product, focusing on the driest areas of my face - my cheeks, forehead, and chin. I patted it in to help it absorb well. I've also included a photo of the packaging that I took when I first received it :)! Oh my... Doesn't it look super luxurious..?! It reminds me of the high-end cosmetics my mom used when I was young, which made me think of her for a moment haha. Rather than being a heavy oil, it has a slight viscosity and isn't too oily, so I think it would be great for those with combination dehydrated skin like me :) It applies smoothly and gives a fresh feeling, creating a subtle Inner Glow! When I put a drop of oil on the back of my hand, it had a silky texture that glided smoothly. I loved how it gave a subtle, reflective glow when applied to my skin :) The scent has a deep, rich ginseng aroma :) No wonder I could see ginseng in the product! (You can see it in the attached photo!) Although I was lucky enough to try this product as one of The Hwahae Testers, I think I'd definitely purchase it with my own money after using it up :)!
ConsSince the product has a strong, deep ginseng scent, those who dislike the smell of ginseng might find the fragrance off-putting... Personally, I didn't have any issues with the scent!

If you've found your usual emulsion or essence to be drying, try mixing in some Donginbi oil! It's perfect for those dealing with dead skin cells during seasonal changes or fall/winter. Even for oily skin, when mixed appropriately, it seems to help soothe flakiness and make the skin look firmer.
ConsOne slight disappointment was that the applicator was more difficult to use than expected. It's a tip-type, but the product comes out in tiny drops, leaving you wanting more!
TipMix it with your regular skincare products for best results!

Although it's called an oil, the formula is as light as water and absorbs into the skin without any greasiness or tackiness. The watery toner-like texture allows for refreshing hydration. Applying it right after cleansing helps to smooth the skin texture, making the next skincare steps absorb better.
ConsI've been using the Donginbi skincare products step-by-step, but the recently launched Single Essence feels quite similar, and it's been a hassle to apply the products in order, so I haven't been using it lately. It's a shame that despite the high price, its presence isn't strongly felt when it's not there.

The dryness also increases along with the oil.
ConsIt's too light to use in fall and winter, so it's not usable.

It also contains red ginseng ingredients, which seems even better.
ConsAside from the price being a bit high, there were no other disappointing aspects.

I used to get breakouts when I applied oil, but that doesn't happen with this one~ It's great to use when my skin is dry!
ConsThere's really nothing bad about it except the price... The product itself is all good...
TipI apply this after my toner, and then follow up with an essence or cream. They say this helps boost the effectiveness of the other products!

After using it for about 3 days, my skin became more transparent and clearer. I definitely feel a difference^^ My skin used to feel very dry right after cleansing, but I highly recommend this product! The scent is also really nice^^
ConsSince it's a bit watery, I feel like I'm using it up quickly ㅠㅠ It would be great if they offered a large size at an affordable price
TipIf you apply this generously instead of using a toner, your skin will become smooth without needing a separate exfoliator

Looking at the ingredients, the oils only start appearing from the 7th ingredient, with the previous ones being hydrating products, so it's not burdensome. As I've been dealing with severe inner dryness and large pores due to aging, I was hesitant to use oils, but I tried the sample and was satisfied, so I purchased the full-size product. It absorbs almost instantly after application, and while I don't feel any dryness, my skin feels less dry when I apply my other skincare products compared to when I don't use this. The lightweight feel is just wonderful. Most importantly, I trust the ingredients, and I haven't experienced any breakouts. Upon research, I found that rosewood oil has anti-inflammatory effects, and drumstick seed oil helps with exfoliation and absorption of cosmetics, so I plan to continue using this. The red ginseng oil, of course, has antioxidant properties. The oily ingredients can be avoided in the summer, and those with dry skin can use this year-round. If you're looking for a truly lightweight oil, I definitely recommend giving this a try.
ConsOther than the price, there's nothing disappointing.
TipApply it right after cleansing.
