The texture is quite light. I personally enjoy the subtle herbal scent, which makes using it a pleasant experience. Surprisingly, it's incredibly soothing. When my nose was raw and sensitive from blowing it, applying this product immediately calmed the irritation. After cleansing, my skin often feels tight and dry. Normally, applying skincare right away doesn't absorb well and leaves my skin feeling parched. However, if I use an exfoliating toner followed by several layers of this product, it creates the perfect base for serums or creams. It truly lives up to its role as a booster. While it doesn't have any dramatic effects, using this product in the early stages of your skincare routine definitely makes your skin feel more hydrated and makes the rest of your routine go more smoothly. Since it's oil-free, you can apply the next product immediately without waiting. It doesn't cause pilling or mix with other products, maintaining its integrity. The non-sticky formula also makes it great for applying to the neck.
ConsDue to its oil-free nature, one drawback is that it doesn't provide any moisturizing effects. It's purely for hydration, which can lead to using it up quite quickly. Also, given its budget-friendly price point, it's understandable but worth noting that the quality of the pump isn't the best.
TipThis brand often has sales around the middle of each month, so it's a good idea to time your purchase accordingly for the best deal.

However, with just one pump, you can experience a moisturized feeling right after cleansing! Moreover, the container is lightweight yet pumps well and the lid opens easily, which is much better than containers that are just glossy on the outside and easily fly away.😊
ConsI wish the pumping amount was a bit more. To be honest, even though it has a complex texture, one pump feels a bit lacking, while two pumps feels a bit too much. Haha. But since I'll just be applying the booster and finishing my skincare routine, it's good as a first step!

The scent is also pleasant, making it suitable for anyone to use! I checked the moisture levels before and after using the product, as well as compared it to another brand's skin booster. The Primejinseng product showed about a 30% higher moisture content, indicating just how hydrating it is!
ConsThe price is a bit disappointing, given the great ingredients. It might be difficult to purchase unless it's on sale. The consumer price seems a bit high, though the quality ingredients justify the cost. For dry skin, it would be better to apply an additional layer. It works well enough on its own in spring or summer, but may not be sufficient during other seasons. Lastly, the product leaves a slight glow, which could be a concern when applying sunscreen right after.
TipKeep it in the bathroom and apply it right after cleansing! My personal tip is to mix it with a skin booster and facial oil - this provides the ultimate hydration for dry or winter skin! While using facial oil alone can sometimes feel heavy, combining it with a skin booster prevents that heavy, greasy sensation.

I applied it at night, and when I woke up in the morning and washed my face, there was hardly any tightness. It feels like my skin is fully hydrated inside. I think even those who dislike sticky textures can use this comfortably, as I also really dislike stickiness, but I didn't experience any annoying stickiness while using this product! However, for some reason, when I would apply this and then go out wearing a mask, I would sometimes get small blemishes in the morning, so I think it's better to use this at night.
ConsThe fragrance might be divisive. Those with extremely dry skin may find this product drying.

The scent has a faint herbal, traditional medicine aroma, so it may be divisive, but I didn't find it bothersome and actually quite liked it! It's barely noticeable. Despite the viscosity, it absorbs well and surprisingly, even when I only used this product, I didn't feel any dryness and could really feel the moisture. I also don't particularly like products with an oily feel, but this one just provided the right amount of hydration, so the rest of my skincare routine would be perfect.
ConsI don't think there's anything particularly bad about it, but if any issues come up with continued use, I'll be sure to share them.

The vegan product contains extracts of ginseng and young ginseng, and despite my sensitive skin that is prone to redness and acne, I did not experience any breakouts the next day. The skin booster has a slightly viscous texture but applies lightly and absorbs well. Even at the first step, the product maintained a good oil-water balance without drying out my skin.
ConsI'm not a big fan of herbal scents, so I found the fragrance a bit disappointing.
TipWhen I first applied the cream to my neck, I felt like it wasn't absorbing well, but after using the previous product, the cream absorbed nicely and my neck wrinkles looked smoother the next day.

But this product has a runny formula, which I liked. ✔️ I thought the product would have a strong herbal scent since it's an oriental medicine product, but it actually has almost no fragrance. ✔️ Despite having a runny formula, it doesn't feel sticky and absorbs completely in one application. Runny formulas are usually quite sticky, and skin-type products have no stickiness but can feel drying, but this product has a formula, texture, and dryness that I'm really satisfied with. ✔️ During seasonal changes, my skin becomes sensitive and extremely dry, so I'm very particular about my skincare routine. But after using this product, my skincare steps have decreased.
Cons✔️ There's nothing disappointing about this product. When I first used it, the absorption was so good that I felt like I hadn't applied enough, so I ended up applying it multiple times, but that wasn't necessary!
Tip✔️ After cleansing, I apply it all over my face. I also use it as a soothing mask when my skin needs calming or feels very dry - it's the best! :-)

And when I applied the lotion before, I definitely felt my skin getting more supple! As for the T-zone, I usually don't apply much base because my skin is oily, but the skin booster didn't make it feel dry - it was just the right amount of moisturized, and the tightness went away, which was the best part!! And I'm not sure if this is one of its functions, but I feel like my acne scars have faded a bit? It might just be my imagination, but they've definitely improved...? I'm not sure if it's because of this, but they've definitely gotten better!
ConsThe scent is a bit like a public bath? It has a slightly old-fashioned smell!!

I applied to the event and was selected, and I've been using it well. I used it right away and it's been almost 2 weeks now. I was surprised that I could feel the glow from just one use, and as I continued using it, I found that it absorbs quickly without any oiliness or stickiness, so it's great to use as the first step.
ConsIt's not so much disappointing as it is different from what I expected - the texture. It's not a spray type, and while it has a slight viscosity, it kind of drips down your face when you pump it on. It's not quite as sticky as hyaluronic acid skin, either. The texture itself is actually good as the first step, since it's lightweight and oil-free, but if I got careless and skipped my usual serum or cream after using this product, I would feel a drying, oily residue on my face in the morning.
TipThis is a product that adds glow to dull skin when used in addition to your regular skincare routine. It absorbs quickly without needing to pat it in, so it's a great skin booster. But don't skip the next steps in your routine - keep using it along with the rest of your regimen.
