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.

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.

You can see that the makeup applies well after application.
ConsIt 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.
TipDon't apply too much at once.

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.

ConsI have sensitive skin, but I haven't experienced any issues so far. If any problems arise with prolonged use, I will make adjustments accordingly.

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.ProsThe texture is like water, flowing like a skin, but since it's not just a regular skin but a 'booster, essence', it feels more moisturizing and refreshing rather than drying quickly. Personally, my skin seems to agree well with bifida, and even though it's sensitive, it seems to be accepting it well. The fragrance is not strong, just subtle, which I like. The pump packaging is convenient, as two pumps can cover the face and neck, so it can be used without being wasteful. While a minor detail, the luxurious packaging makes me feel good when I take it out to use. After trying the serum and cream samples, I found that they are definitely more nourishing. So using a small amount is sufficient, which is an advantage. In conclusion, the skin feels like it provides moisture, while the serum and cream provide nourishment, so using them together seems to create a good balance.
ConsThere's nothing particularly bad. The price range seems expensive, but I guess that's because of the good ingredients in it. However, as mentioned above, the advantage is that it doesn't need to be used excessively.

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.

It's refreshing! It's like applying a watery toner. The application is also good, as I can cover my whole face with just one pump. The fragrance is like a mild oriental herbal cosmetic scent..? As the name suggests, it seems like a good first step in a skincare routine.
ConsIn my case, I don't usually use toner, so when I tried this, I didn't really notice any significant improvements in hydration or effectiveness. I mean, adding an extra step doesn't necessarily mean you'll see dramatic results, especially if you're already seeing great effects from just using a toner alone.

I'll review the texture, moisture, and stickiness mainly:)! Texture: The texture has some viscosity, so the skin booster immediately improved my skin condition! The texture seems to have paid special attention to elasticity and moisture. Moisture: Of course, I felt the moisture, but the more I applied, the more nourishing it felt! Since it's a fermented skin, I'm glad it took care of the nourishment as well. Stickiness: There was a slight sticky feeling. Due to the viscosity, it absorbed enough before the next skincare step. When I applied the ampoule afterwards, the stickiness turned into a dewy finish, and my skin became beautifully moisturized... As someone who loves a glowy skin look, I was very satisfied. For those with redness, this texture is also good for balancing the skin tone. I have redness, and after applying the skin booster, the redness was naturally reduced.
ConsThere was nothing particularly bad! Even though I have sensitive, acne-prone skin, I was satisfied.
TipIt would be even better if you could put it in a mist bottle and spray it on after cleansing to help with absorption.

The texture is like a runny serum, absorbing very quickly, and the scent isn't as strong as you might expect. Since the name is 'Jinseong', it has a bit of an herbal/traditional medicine vibe, and the scent is similar to traditional Korean medicine. For very oily skin types, using the booster alone should provide a fresh, non-greasy finish, but for dry skin, I'd recommend using this product as a toner rather than on its own. My mom (dry skin) tried the 3-piece sample set and really liked it.
ConsFor dry skin, the product might feel a bit lacking in moisture and hydration. Pairing it with a serum and cream would probably work better. Compared to products geared towards younger consumers, this does have more of an 'older generation' fragrance. The discounted price on the official website (90% off) makes me wonder if the original price was set too high.
TipYou can get a 14-day sample set of the 3 products from the official website for just the cost of shipping, so I'd recommend trying that first to see if you like it. Then if you do, you can go ahead and purchase the full-size products. Skincare is very individual, so even if you have the same skin type (dry, oily, etc.), it's best to test out samples before committing to a full-size product.
