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!

I'm using this in multiple layers for a great layering effect!
ConsThe texture isn't as rich as I expected, it feels more like a light exfoliating toner. For the price, it doesn't seem to provide strong hydration.

It's not sticky and absorbs quickly! Even when my skin is super sensitive and everything else stings, this doesn't cause any irritation!
ConsAs expected, it's the price... haha. I'm using a test product, but when I checked the price for a full-size bottle... oh my!

It's non-sticky and absorbs incredibly well, making it perfect for oily skin types. The gentle feel and quick absorption seem to be this product's main strengths.
ConsI'm not really sure what effects it's supposed to have. It's not even that hydrating... And considering that, the price point seems quite high.

After applying a single essence, I feel that absorption is much better and doesn't just sit on the surface.
ConsWhile I personally liked it, a friend mentioned that the scent reminded them of cigarette ash. It seems the fragrance might be polarizing.
TipI use it generously on a cotton pad immediately after cleansing.

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.

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.ProsTexture: Slippery, transparent liquid Ingredients: Single-ingredient formula, so it's generally good Scent: A red ginseng fragrance that might be divisive - I personally love it (I'm a fan of red ginseng). 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
