To be honest, I'm not sure. It's so light I can't even tell if it's really an essence. I get that it contains ginseng, but for a product called 'Single Essence', there's surprisingly little information about the ingredients. How was it extracted and what exactly is in it? I've tried many essences in this price range, but I can't find any standout features here. There are plenty of options at this price point that offer both daily use and targeted benefits. If I had to name a positive, I guess it has a runny texture and absorbs quickly?
ConsWhile I can't say for certain if this caused my blemishes, it definitely didn't help calm existing ones. There's no noticeable brightening effect either. With my combination dehydrated skin, I need to layer it at least twice to feel like I've actually applied something...
TipAt this price point, I wouldn't recommend it. I'm already halfway through the bottle, but once it's finished, I plan to switch back to my previous product.

I especially like that the ingredients are simple, with red ginseng extract as the main component. Even though I have super sensitive skin, I haven't experienced any blemishes. I use it lightly as a toner, so while you shouldn't expect miracles, it's better than using nothing at all. In fact, I've switched my entire skincare routine to Donginbi products, including this one!
ConsThe regular price is a bit steep and hard to justify. But with all the promotions they run, it's not really an issue.
TipHere's a pro tip: avoid using cotton pads for toner application! I've heard that using cotton pads can be detrimental to your skin.

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.

ConsIts watery consistency means I go through it quickly, but considering the price, I'm trying to use it sparingly. Other than that, I have no complaints!
TipI apply it once right after washing my face, then again after getting dressed, followed by my moisturizer. It leaves my skin feeling incredibly smooth! In summer, when I'm feeling lazy, I might just layer it twice and skip other steps in my routine.

My skin texture improved a bit. At first, I thought an essence might be too heavy, but it has a water-like consistency that's light and absorbs well, so it was actually quite nice.
ConsThe ginseng scent isn't too strong, but still... I don't like fragranced products. The price for the full-size product is a bit steep.
TipThat said, my mother absolutely loves using it, so I think it would make a great birthday gift for her. Since it's an essence with antioxidant effects, it's probably the perfect present for parents.

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!

Subtle ginseng scent There's a slight presence to it. I liked the healthy feeling it gave, and since it's only noticeable when applying, it shouldn't be an issue if you're not sensitive to fragrances. 2. Texture: Water-like My previous toner was the Hanyul Red Rice Toner, which had a runny essence-like texture despite being a toner. This product, however, is an essence with a water-like consistency. It's great for patting onto the skin lightly with your hands. 3. Ingredients Hwahae approved! 4. Quick absorption As light as the texture is, it absorbs really fast. Because of this, your skin might feel dry again soon after application, making it ideal for layering or using with other products.
ConsGiven its price point, I want to apply it carefully, but the watery texture makes it prone to dripping. A thicker consistency like a runny cream would allow for more controlled application. Also, because it absorbs so quickly, I found it a bit drying when used alone, as I prefer single-product routines. Unfortunately, I didn't notice any significant skin improvements from using this product alone.
TipYou can think of it as a toner with a ginseng scent. If you're using it on its own, it might be good to decant it into a mist bottle and apply it multiple times throughout the day when your skin feels dry. It also works well in combination with other products. If the price point works for you, I'd recommend giving it a try.

It feels light and pleasant on the skin.
ConsIt's so watery that it feels like I'm just wiping my face with good water one more time.
TipI've heard you can soak a cotton pad with it and use it as a mask on your cheeks, but I haven't tried that yet.

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.ProsIt absorbs well and feels lightweight. With its water-based formula, it's perfect as a hassle-free toner alternative, leaving skin feeling fresh. The clean ingredient list is a plus. Even when applied to irritated skin that hasn't fully recovered from stress-induced eczema, it doesn't sting. It seems gentle enough for most sensitive skin types. While not sticky, applying it twice gives a nice, plump feeling. Though its long-lasting hydration isn't exceptional, it works great as a first essence, toner, or softener. While it may not dramatically improve skin, it does help with the absorption of subsequent products and seems to slightly enhance skin texture. For reasons I can't quite explain, it's currently the first product I reach for after cleansing.
ConsThe value for money is a bit disappointing... It's only slightly better than some more expensive products.
TipEven those with very dry skin can experience a temporary plump, hydrated feeling by layering it two or three times. (It's a different level of plumpness compared to when you apply a cream...)
