Subtle Scent

There's a slight volatile sensation, possibly from ethanol, which isn't too bothersome. However, I probably wouldn't purchase the full-size product. I usually skip toner and apply essence right after cleansing anyway.

As it's labeled a 'booster' toner, it absorbs much faster than typical water-based toners and leaves absolutely no residue on the skin.

This 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.

Due 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.

This is great as a first essence that's not water-based. 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.

Maybe because it's winter, even though I have oily skin, using all 3 steps together worked even better for me

There's nothing bad to say. The price is great too! The only thing might be that the design is a bit too simple?

It's incredibly hydrating and wonderful! The texture has a bit more viscosity than regular toners

I 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!

Although it has a complex texture, the areas around the eyes, cheeks, and forehead are slightly dry. 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.😊

I bought this named fermented cosmetic as a budget option, but it's even better than the more expensive one in the summer.

I think it might cause some dryness as it gets a bit colder.

The good fermented toner has great ingredients and is suitable for use in the summer.
It has good adhesion and is great for layering at an affordable price.

Keep 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.

The 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.

The formula glides on smoothly and is quickly absorbed, leaving a moisturized and non-sticky feel on the skin surface. 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!

The fragrance might be divisive.
Those with extremely dry skin may find this product drying.

The transparent brown color is light and very refreshing, and it absorbs well.
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.

It dries quickly when applied, but there is a somewhat sticky feeling that remains. I think it's because it's ginseng.
As I have combination skin, the slight lingering stickiness was a bit disappointing.

I was worried about the scent of the ginseng cosmetics, but the subtle, herbal fragrance is lovely!!
You can see that the makeup applies well after application.

I usually mix this into my modeling pack when using it. That way, the effects are really amplified. Since my skin is sensitive, the highly nourishing formula doesn't suit me very well, so I use it this way. It helps thicken the modeling pack consistency, and adding this skin booster is perfect. After leaving the pack on for about 10 minutes, my skin looks completely different - the effects are amazing!

I'm quite sensitive to fragrances, and even though I knew this product contained fragrance, I still hoped it wouldn't bother me. But sure enough, if I keep smelling it, it gives me a headache... It's kind of like my mom's makeup scent. No matter how much I apply, I just can't get used to it.. And the moisturizing effect is not as good as I expected. Maybe it's because my body has been extremely sensitive lately, but it stings a bit.. On my face, it was more tolerable.

The application is quite smooth and even! It absorbs quickly, and the viscosity is relatively low, about the same as water. However, the moisturizing power is a bit on the lower side.

Although I've only been using the product for less than a week due to the delayed delivery, I think it's performing reasonably well.

The product volume is also decent, and since it's highly nourishing, my skin texture is legendary when I wake up in the morning after using it at night.

I 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 formula is not completely watery, but has a slight viscosity to it! 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.

It's a dual-function product for wrinkle improvement and whitening, but I'm not sure how effective it is, as the results were only slightly noticeable after a short period of use.
The effect was just like applying one more layer, so it seems to be an average product.

It's a good option to use as an alternative when your usual skincare products don't suit your skin or are inconvenient to apply.
If you don't have a product that has worked well for you before, it's worth giving this a try.

First, I found the pump-style packaging convenient to use.
The formula is closer to an ampoule than a toner, so it doesn't run down as much, which I liked.
The amount is quite generous, and I used 4-5 pumps for the review, but I think it will last a little over 2 months with continued use.
The scent is not too strong, a mild fragrance reminiscent of the Sulwhasoo line.
While the original price is high, it's currently available for around 13,800 won on Naver, which makes it a reasonably priced option.
