It's a first essence with red ginseng as the sole ingredient, which is fantastic. The ginseng scent is subtle and pleasant - I find that when herbal fragrances aren't too overpowering and align well with the product's identity, it enhances the overall experience. It's wonderfully hydrating, and I can layer it multiple times without it feeling heavy on my skin.
ConsI honestly didn't find any downsides while using this product! The only thing that might make me hesitate is the somewhat high price tag, which makes me think twice about using it too liberally.
TipDuring summer, I've sometimes completed my skincare routine with just 2-3 layers of this product. It's excellent for combating deep dryness during seasonal changes!

It works especially well in synergy with the Jasaeng Essence. It has a watery texture, and I'm using it as an exfoliating toner. Among all the watery formulas I've tried, this one feels the richest. When you first apply it, it feels slightly oily, but after a while, your skin starts to look incredibly healthy with a beautiful glow. After using about half the bottle, I could really feel a significant improvement in my skin. Highly recommended for those with dry skin! The scent has a subtle herbal note, which is pleasant and not overpowering. I usually find that products with herbal scents tend to overpower other fragrances, but this one is so delicate that when mixed with other scented products, it creates an interesting blend.
ConsThe subtle herbal scent, when mixed with products that have different fragrances, can sometimes create an odd, slightly unpleasant smell that becomes more intense over time.
TipThe synergy with the Jasaeng Essence is incredible. I highly recommend using them together!

I used this essence instead of a toner, and it cleared up all the small blemishes on my skin, making it feel smoother and more refined. Although it's a bit pricey, the high-quality ingredients make it completely worth it. The ginseng scent is noticeable but not overwhelming, which I found pleasant. With consistent use, I believe it will greatly benefit your complexion.
ConsThere's not much to complain about, but one minor issue is that the essence tends to get on the container when dispensing it onto my palm. It feels a bit messy each time I use it. The packaging could use some improvement.

It's not overpowering, noticeable when first applied but fades quickly Absorption and hydration: As I have dry skin, it seems to absorb quickly. One application isn't enough for moisture, so I apply multiple layers. This leaves my skin feeling firm and supple
ConsExpensive price considering the volume The red ginseng scent might not be for everyone
TipI found it works better when applied with hands in multiple layers rather than using a cotton pad

Unlike thicker formulas, it has a light, water-like texture that doesn't feel sticky. When applied right after cleansing, it provides excellent hydration and really helps to even out my skin tone. The effects are so noticeable that if I skip even one day, I can immediately tell the difference in my complexion. Although it's a ginseng-based product, there's hardly any of that characteristic ginseng scent, which makes it very pleasant to use.
ConsThere wasn't anything particularly disappointing about this product. I'm completely satisfied!

It didn't cause any blemishes, and I felt like it was making my skin healthier! The hydration was also excellent.
ConsWhile the hydration was decent, I think those with dry skin might find the essence alone a bit insufficient. I had to take off one star because the price is absolutely wicked!

This first essence features a single, powerful ingredient: 100% red ginseng extract, renowned for its superior antioxidant properties. It's designed to unveil a translucent, smooth, youthful radiance! With its water-essence texture that's brimming with hydration, it absorbs quickly after cleansing, leaving your skin feeling fresh and silky smooth. As expected from a KGC product, there's a subtle hint of red ginseng fragrance - delicate and not overpowering at all. Thanks to its five antioxidant benefits, it claims to help with hydration, soothing, improving transparency and skin texture, and strengthening the skin barrier. How could you resist trying it? I've been using this for my '2-skin' method these past few days, and I'm completely satisfied! My skin feels firmer, and my complexion seems to have improved. I'm in love with you, Donginbi! #KGC #Donginbi #1899SingleEssence #LoveIt #MyStyle #Moisturizing #Smooth #DrySkin #Skincare #DonginbiSingleEssence #100PercentRedGinsengExtractEssence #WaterEssence #AntioxidantEssence #StrengthensSkiBarrier

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsI tested this sample for two weeks! 1. Scent Although I'm not usually a fan of ginseng-like scents, this one wasn't as strong as I expected, making it more tolerable. 2. Absorption At first application, it feels a bit sticky, but give it a moment and it absorbs into the skin completely. The stickiness disappears, leaving a fresh feeling. It felt more like a refreshing toner than an essence. 3. Ingredients Having super sensitive skin, I'm really picky about ingredients. If the ingredients are bad, my skin reacts immediately, so I avoid those products entirely. However, this product doesn't contain any ingredients that would stress the skin, so I could use it without worry. There was a slight burning sensation for the first day or two, but it subsided over time.
Cons1. Price Considering the ingredients, I understand the cost. But understanding the price and being willing to pay for it are two different things. I didn't see any noticeable effects, so it's harder to justify. There are lower-priced products that have shown more definite skin improvements, so I don't feel compelled to purchase this one. (It seems more targeted towards older consumers rather than younger ones.) 2. Hydration After a while, my skin felt dry and tight, so I couldn't use this product alone. The refreshing toner-like feel left something to be desired in terms of hydration. 3. Skin Improvement I didn't notice any improvements at all... I'm left wondering if anything actually got better. Maybe two weeks was too short, but I wouldn't recommend this for those looking for quick results. When considering both price and effectiveness, I keep finding disappointments. Overall, it's just average and unremarkable.
TipGiven the design and price point, this might be suitable as a gift for slightly older individuals.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThis is a review from The Hwahae Testers. 1. Despite being a traditional herbal product made with red ginseng, the scent wasn't off-putting at all. 2. It has a clear texture like a toner and absorbs well into the skin! 3. It's gentle and non-irritating. Even though my skin has been more delicate and sensitive lately, I didn't experience any tingling or blemishes while using it.
Cons1. I received this as part of The Hwahae Testers program, but if I had to pay for it myself, I might think twice due to the price. 2. Personally, I found the bottle opening a bit inconvenient. For someone like me who applies it with a cotton pad, the opening was too small. I wished it would dispense more generously! On the other hand, my sister liked the small opening because it prevented the runny formula from pouring out too quickly. (I suppose this comes down to personal preference!)
TipIt seems to work great as the first essence after cleansing. I initially used it alongside a toner, but then I wondered if I could use it as an exfoliating toner. So I tried applying it with a cotton pad, then gently patting it into my skin. I noticed it absorbed better than before and seemed to refine my skin texture. Plus, it helped my subsequent skincare products absorb more effectively, so I've continued using it this way!

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe Hwahae Testers review: • Slightly viscous, runny texture • Single ingredient: red ginseng extract • Absorbs well • Pleasant, mild red ginseng scent • Can be layered multiple times • Attractive packaging (cute lid) • Moisturizing without being sticky
Cons• While it absorbs quickly, the lightweight formula might not be enough for those with dry skin if applied only once • Not recommended for those who dislike the scent of red ginseng (I personally enjoy it) • Slightly pricey, but still somewhat reasonable
TipApplying 2-3 layers results in more hydration and a nice glow! My mother in her late 40s was much more satisfied with it than I am in my early 20s. It would make a great gift for Parents' Day.
