ConsThere'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.

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.

The pump packaging was hygienic, and the translucent brown bottle made it easy to see how much product was left. The texture was slightly more viscous than a water-based toner, with a thin serum-like consistency that needed to be quickly applied as it tended to run down. When applied, it absorbed smoothly without any stickiness, and my skin felt comfortably hydrated without feeling heavy, even when I used a generous amount. It also worked well as a sheet mask when I soaked a cotton pad with it. As someone sensitive to fragrance, I appreciated that the Prime Ginseng Skin Booster had a very subtle, almost unscented profile.
ConsSince I was satisfied with the product, there are no major downsides to it. The only thing is that the price may be a bit high.
TipFor best results, don't just apply it once, but layer it on or use it as a sheet mask - this will give you an even more intensely hydrated complexion.😄😄

The slightly viscous formula allows for a non-irritating cleansing, and I could feel the moisturizing effect when layering it. 🥰 I've uploaded photos of the skin booster's texture and the improvement in my skin's condition before and after absorption, so please take a look!🥰
ConsThe formula is not irritating, so I haven't noticed any issues yet!
Tip💡 Buying tip! You can purchase it at a lower price than the official website, so it's a good idea to check that out.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. 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.ProsI was selected as a Hwahae Trial Reviewer and started using the product right away. I've been using it for about 7 days. My skin type is dry and oily, and I don't have any trouble, but my skin is sensitive to irritation! When I first pumped the product, I thought it might feel a bit sticky, as the color was a light honey tone. But after actually using it, the absorption was complete, and there was no stickiness at all~ As it's a skin booster, it doesn't feel extremely moisturizing, but it absorbs refreshingly. It should be used as the first step in your regular skincare routine, followed by your usual basic care. There's no trouble, and the usage experience is good.
ConsI'm satisfied with the usage experience and was able to use it without any trouble, but it didn't really wow me. This is an honest evaluation (subjective, but a sincere opinion). There's no particular reason to recommend it, but also no reason not to, it's a fairly average product.

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.Pros- Skin Type A typical combination skin type, especially one that is lacking in moisture and becomes oily. - Texture 1) A runny, flowing texture Layering it 2-3 times makes it absorb nicely and feel moisturizing. It absorbs completely without leaving any residue. 2) As a product to be applied right after cleansing, it has good absorbency. However, due to its viscosity, it absorbs better if you wipe off the water first and then apply it. - Comparison to Other Products It is very similar to the famous Sulwhasoo essence line. The viscosity and fragrance are quite alike, with a similar large-sized Sulwhasoo feel. However, this product focuses more on hydration rather than nourishment. - Other Notes It comes in a pump bottle, and the amount per pump is just right, making it convenient to use. Even though it's a Hwahae Trial Reviewer product, they sent me 3-40 sample sheets of the essence, lotion, and cream, so I've been able to use the samples for a long time. I shared the sample sheets with my mom, and she was very satisfied, saying it felt very moisturizing.
ConsThe single layer was not enough for my combination skin. Applying 2-3 layers makes it feel more moisturizing.

Even when I used a cotton pad to absorb it, there was no oily residue, which was great :) - Texture💦: The watery texture was slightly thin, which made it easy to apply all over the face :) - Fragrance🌸: Hmm... the fragrance is almost unscented, but there's a faint herbal scent like my mom's skincare + traditional medicine? But in my case, I liked it ㅎㅎ The fragrance wasn't too strong, so there was no burden even after applying it! - Packaging🍂: The opaque brown container made it easy to check the volume, and it looked neat. The amount that came out with one pump was more than I expected, which was good. 2-3 pumps were enough to cover my entire face. - Ingredients🌲: Since it contains ingredients good for dry skin, the moisturizing effect lasted for a long time after application ㅎㅎ Also, I actually felt that my redness decreased, and my skin texture became much smoother. With the inclusion of exosomes, energy, and peptides, my sensitive skin seemed to stabilize more quickly.
Cons- Price: The price range was a bit higher than I expected :) - Other than that, after using it for almost 2 weeks, there were no breakouts, and it was gentle, which was good!
Tip- I also used the serum and cream from the Biome Activate line that came as a sample. They also worked well for my sensitive skin, and using them together made the moisturizing effect last longer and made my skin feel even softer ㅎㅎ I'd like to purchase a full-size bottle of the skin booster and the serum/cream as well.
