I've finished the full-size product and now I'm using the sample that came with it, so I only have a photo of the sample, unfortunately. I'll add a photo of the full-size product later if I remember when I open a new one. I really dislike sticky products, but this has a watery consistency that absorbs quickly and feels amazing to use. I don't like applying many products, so I use this as a toner replacement. It's not one of those products that feels like it does nothing - I have dry skin, so I apply it twice, and it leaves my skin feeling hydrated. The ginseng scent is subtle and doesn't bother me. I didn't realize it before, but I actually like the ginseng smell! A friend I gifted it to also loved it.
ConsThe price is a bit high. Considering the ginseng ingredient, it's not unreasonably expensive, but as someone who used to use mostly drugstore products, it feels pricey to me. Because of its watery consistency, it disappears quickly when you shake the bottle, which makes it seem even more expensive.
TipThe official retailers often have discounts on the full-size product and offer sample trials for just the cost of shipping, so if you're curious, try the sample before committing to the full-size product!

It's an incredibly lightweight water essence, but I was surprised by how moisturizing, firming, and nourishing it is despite its thin consistency. Don't be fooled by its texture!
ConsFirst off, the red ginseng scent is overpowering. It's definitely a love-it-or-hate-it situation, and I'm in the 'hate it' camp. Even though it's a sample, it's quite large, and I'm concerned about the wide opening that dispenses too much product. For my oily skin, it feels heavy despite the thin consistency. It also leaves a rich feeling on the skin.

ConsI haven't found any drawbacks yet! As a first essence, it's completely satisfying.

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!

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 tried this product using a sample I received. I used it in spring when my skin was in good condition. It was my first time using a Donginbi product, and it has a strong ginseng scent. I didn't mind the smell personally. The texture is like a sticky serum. It could be used in place of a toner or ampoule. Although it has a sticky consistency, if you control the amount well, it absorbs nicely. Because of this, I felt like it was deeply hydrating my skin. For those with combination dehydrated skin, I think using this product alone and finishing with a moisturizer could really help balance the skin's hydration. I'm considering purchasing the full-size product.
ConsIf you're sensitive to fragrances, you might want to smell it first as the ginseng scent is quite strong. Those who don't like sticky textures might also find this product disappointing. It's important to control the amount you use. The sample I used came in a container that made it a bit difficult to control the amount, but I hope the full-size product comes in a more hygienic and user-friendly packaging.
TipI received this sample through an event on the official Donginbi website. They sent it via delivery, so you don't need to go to a department store. I recommend trying it out this way before making a full purchase.

I had always thought of Donginbi as a brand for older women, so I never tried it before. But I got a sample and gave it a go. I'm pleasantly surprised by how much I like it! It's definitely a satisfying product. First off, it's a water-type essence, so it feels light and fresh. I patted it into my skin, and it absorbed quickly without sitting on top. It felt like it was perfectly designed for intense hydration. I think this would be great for spring and summer use. It seems especially beneficial for those with combination dehydrated or oily skin during the warmer months. It appears to calm the skin texture, making it smoother while also having a soothing effect. For winter, I imagine it would work well layered with a rich cream. This combination could balance oil and moisture while keeping the skin nicely hydrated. Plus, the ingredients must be really good because despite my initial concerns, it wasn't irritating at all. It's actually quite gentle on the skin.
ConsThe main drawback is definitely the price point - it's quite expensive.

It's quite amusing, makes you feel like you're applying a tonic! I love it. I initially tried a sample size from a Hwahae event, and I liked it so much that I bought the full-size version with my own money. I'm currently using it as my first essence in my skincare routine. First off, if you layer it 2-3 times, it becomes so hydrating that even on lazy days, just applying this prevents any deep dryness! But the most amazing thing is what it does for my skin texture. There's a noticeable improvement in the overall complexion.
ConsHmm... there's nothing really bad about it. If I had to nitpick, I'd say it would be nice if they could lower the price a bit. But that's just me being greedy, right? I hope they have frequent sales at least!
TipPro tip: After exfoliating, wait a bit and then layer this product 2-3 times for best results!

There's no sticky feeling. The texture is watery, but not as runny as nasal mucus.
ConsThere's nothing particularly bad to mention. I'm using it with satisfaction. It seems well-suited for its role as a boosting essence.
TipEven with multiple layers, it doesn't feel sticky. With continued use, I feel like my face is becoming slightly brighter.
