Pros
Hmm.. Not really.. To be honest, I'm not sure.. It seems too light, so I'm not sure if the essence matches my skin. I understand it contains red ginseng, but there's no information on the ingredients, even though it's called a 'single essence'. How was it extracted and what are the components? I've tried various essences in this price range, but I couldn't find any particular advantages. At this price point, there are plenty of daily-use and functional essences that are worth trying.🙃 The only upside I can think of is the runny texture and fast absorption.
Cons
I'm not sure if the breakouts are due to this product, but it hasn't been able to soothe the blemishes that have already formed. There's no whitening effect. It's watery, and I have to apply it more than twice to feel like I've actually put something on my skin...
Tip
At this price, I wouldn't recommend it. I've already used up about half the bottle, and I'm planning to switch back to the product I was using before.

Pros
It's great that they have a lot of events across different channels. The ingredients are simple, just ginseng extract, which is even better. I have very sensitive skin, but I haven't had any skin troubles at all. This is just a light toner, so you shouldn't have high expectations, but it's better than not using anything, so I've been using it. I've switched my whole line to Donginbi products, including this one.
Cons
The regular price is a bit burdensome, but since they have a lot of events, it's not too bad.
Tip
The pro tip is to not use cotton pads! Apparently using cotton pads can be really harsh on the skin.

Pros
I have very dry and sensitive skin. I've never tried Donginnee before because it seemed like a brand for older people, but I got a sample and tried it out. I'm really satisfied with the product - it's much better than I expected! It's a water-type essence, so it's lightweight and refreshing. I pumped some into my palm, patted it in, and it absorbed quickly without any residue. It really feels like it's deeply hydrating my skin. I think this would be a great product to use in the spring and summer, especially for those with dry or oily skin. In the summer, it seems to help calm and smooth the skin. And in the winter, you could use it with a richer cream to keep your skin balanced and moisturized. Plus, the ingredients seem really great - it's not irritating at all, it's very gentle on my sensitive skin.
Cons
The only downside is that it's a bit pricey.

Pros
The lightweight texture and single-ingredient formula make it non-irritating and pleasantly clean and comfortable!
Cons
It's a bit drying to use, but I'm using it sparingly considering the price. Other than that, there are no major downsides!
Tip
After cleansing, I apply it once, then again after getting dressed, and then follow up with a moisturizer. This gives a soft, smooth feel. In the summer, I find that applying it twice can sometimes skip the need for an additional step!

Pros
The sample was generously provided, so I was able to try it out. My skin texture improved a bit, and although the essence seemed a bit daunting at first, the watery formula was lightweight and spread easily, which was nice.
Cons
The ginseng scent isn't too strong, but I still don't like the fragrance. The full-size price is a bit steep.
Tip
However, my mother uses it very well, so I think she would appreciate it as a birthday gift. Since it's an antioxidant-rich essence, it would make a great gift for my parents.

Pros
This essence seems to be a good choice for applying lightly on combination skin during the summer.
Cons
The somewhat watery formula gives a skin-like feel, but it's a bit disappointing that there's not much moisturizing effect.

Pros
This is the 3rd bottle I've used of this product :) The formula is light and watery, not sticky, so it applies smoothly and provides hydration and skin refinement right after cleansing! Even if I skip using it for a day, the effects are so noticeable on my face. Although it's a ginseng cosmetic, the distinct ginseng scent is barely perceptible, which is not overwhelming.
Cons
There was nothing particularly disappointing. I am satisfied!

Pros
1. Subtle Ginseng Aroma It has a slight presence. I liked the healthy feel, and it only lasts for a moment when applied, so it should be fine if you're not sensitive to the fragrance. 2. Formulation: Watery The previous skin I used was the Hanyul Red Rice Skin, which had a runny essence-like formulation, but this product has an essence-like watery texture. It was easy to apply lightly with my hands. 3. Ingredients Hwahae approved♡ 4. Quick Absorption As light as the formulation is, it absorbs very quickly. That's why it dries quickly after application, so it's good to apply multiple layers or use it with other products.
Cons
As it's a higher-priced product, I wanted to apply it properly, but the watery texture makes it run a lot. The thicker serum/cream formulations would allow me to apply the desired amount. And since it absorbs so quickly, it feels a bit drying for me, as I prefer using it alone. Unfortunately, I didn't feel my skin improving with this alone.
Tip
You can think of it as just a ginseng-scented skin. If using it alone, spraying it as a mist and reapplying several times when your skin feels dry might work well, and it seems to be a good product to use with other products. If the price range is reasonable for you, I'd recommend it.

Pros
After cleansing, I'm using it as a toner and it seems to be managing my dead skin cells well too. It's light and nice.
Cons
It's too watery, so I feel like I need to wipe it off again with just plain water.
Tip
They said to soak it in a cotton pad and apply it as a face pack, but I haven't tried that yet.

Pros
It absorbs lightly and easily. As a water-based formula, it can be used as a refreshing skin substitute without burden. Clean ingredient list. Even when my atopic skin was still red and irritated due to stress, it did not sting when applied. It seems gentle enough for most sensitive skin types. While there is no sticky feeling, after 2 or so applications, a plump texture is noticeable. The moisturizing power is not long-lasting, but it works quite well as a first essence, toner, or softener. There are no dramatic improvement effects, but it helps with the absorption of subsequent products, and my skin texture seems to have improved slightly... Although I'm not sure, it's currently the product I reach for the most after cleansing.
Cons
The cost-effectiveness is a bit disappointing..compared to other high-end products, it's only slightly better.
Tip
Even for very dry skin, when layered a few times, it can provide a momentarily plump, hydrated skin feel (very different from the plumpness achieved with a cream application...)
