  Pros

  I tried the Donginbi brand for the first time and it's a really great brand. I first tried it through a sample event, and I was just so satisfied with the overall 'feel of use' that I ended up buying the full-size product. The finish is great, and it feels smooth and sleek to the eye. It has a viscosity similar to a toner and absorbs nicely and softly.

  Cons

  1. The price is a bit high. I understand the good ingredients, but the price range is a bit burdensome. 2. The packaging is a bit disappointing. I wish it was a pump-type. 3. The scent might be divisive. It has an 'ginseng-like' earthy smell(?), but since it's the natural scent of the ingredients and not an artificial addition, it didn't bother me much as it dissipates quickly after application.

  Pros

  The essence has a viscous texture like mucus skin. While it can be used instead of toner, it absorbs more slowly compared to the single-ingredient essence I used before, so I have to pat it in. At first, I was like 'Hmm, is anything really improving?' but if you just have patience for about a month, you can visibly see your skin becoming healthier from the inside out. Even though I have dry skin, the tight feeling has disappeared - it's surprising how my face doesn't feel tight at all this winter. With the moisture replenished, my complexion looks brighter, and remarkably, my pores also seem to have shrunk. My skin feels as soft and supple as a baby's, making the pores less noticeable.

  Cons

  The scent is from the ginseng extract, so it has a herbal medicine-like smell. But it dissipates quickly.

  Tip

  It's a bit embarrassing that it's so similar to other brands' single essences, but since the price is half, I'll give it a try!

  Pros

  - I received 2 sets of 15ml cosmetic samples and used them for 2 weeks. (I used them once in the morning and once in the evening, like a skin toner. - They apply lightly without any stickiness. - They absorb quickly and leave my skin feeling moisturized. - After 2 weeks of use, I'm not sure about any improvements in skin texture, but my blemishes have cleared up completely. If I had known about this earlier, it would have been great! I had 2 blemishes on my chin, and while the existing ones left some marks, the newer ones disappeared without a trace!! (I've attached photos. Please note that there is some flakiness around my lips and under my chin.)

  Cons

  - The price is way too expensive... I didn't see any noticeable effects on skin texture or tone improvement, so unless I need it for blemish management during this mask-wearing period, I probably won't purchase it. You know, there are already many similar, more affordable products on the market that offer comparable effects. - The fragrance... it seems to dissipate quickly. But it has a ginseng functional food-like scent. The mental understanding and the actual experience of applying it to my face were a bit different. Fortunately, the fragrance disappears quickly.

  Tip

  If you have blemishes, this product might be effective if the blemishes haven't fully developed yet. The lightweight, watery formula makes it easy to manage.
