Pros
In the evening, after applying and sleeping, I can feel my face glowing and the texture becoming smoother. If I use it consistently, it seems to help with wrinkle improvement as well~ In the winter, adding a few drops of oil to the cream makes it sufficiently moisturizing. The fragrance is also nice!
Cons
The packaging is the type that needs to be shaken out, but if it's a dropper type, it would be more convenient to use and the consistency of the amount applied would be better.
Tip
Mixing a few drops into the cream and applying it in the morning results in a honey-like complexion!!

Pros
✔️Fragrance: The subtle oriental fragrance is so lovely~! It's one of my favorite scents, but my younger sibling doesn't like oriental shampoos, so they said they don't like it. 😢 However, the healthy fragrance makes me feel good! ✔️Moisturizing Power: I have very dry skin, and I've usually used bio-oils for their cost-effectiveness. But the Donginbi oil feels less oily, while still providing good moisturization. ✔️Spreadability: It's not as slippery as pure oil, but has more of a serum+oil texture, so it feels like I'm doing a full skincare routine! It also seems to absorb well. ✔️Packaging: It's so luxurious that even my mom loved it! I'm considering purchasing it as a gift for my parents.
Cons
✔️The amount is too little... The instructions say to use 2-3 drops, but as an extremely dry-skinned person, that doesn't feel enough for me. So I end up using a generous amount, which makes it run out quickly... ✔️The fragrance may be divisive! It's an oriental scent, which I like.
Tip
✔️It's recommended to warm it up in your palms before applying it to your face for better absorption.

Pros
The subtle fragrance of red ginseng was light but had good moisturizing power. The Donginbi products are a bit pricey, so I was really happy to be selected as a Hwahae Trial Reviewer! My mom doesn't usually use oils, but she said there was no greasiness or heaviness, so she's using it with me.
Cons
There's nothing at all. The only thing is that the packaging is a bit inconvenient? A pump or dropper would be more convenient.
Tip
It's also good to mix it with a cream, and at the end, you can warm it up with the heat of your palms and press it into your face.

Pros
Skin Type: Dry, Dehydrated, Lots of Wrinkles, Decent Texture Scent: They said they infused the oil with ginseng, and the real ginseng scent was so nice! It had a more premium feel, not an artificial fragrance. Texture: I was worried the oil would be super thick, but it was just less oily and more watery like an essence, so it wasn't burdensome to use. Absorption: As the texture suggested, it absorbed well like an essence! But I think it's better to mix it with a cream rather than using it alone - using it alone felt a bit fleeting. Effects: Lately my skin has been getting very dry and the cold wind wasn't helping, so regular creams weren't enough. Using the oil together with a cream really improved the hydration and reduced tightness a lot!! I've tried all kinds of face oils, and this one was the most satisfying!! For those with dry skin like me who feel dryness regardless of oil, this is something you can use without burden. I'll recommend this to people with dry skin, and I'm planning to gift it to my mom later on too.
Cons
There wasn't really anything disappointing! Those who really hate the ginseng scent should avoid it... Oh, and the price? Of course, considering the ingredients and effects, I think it's worth it!
Tip
Using it with a cream is the best!

Pros
🫧 Fragrance The ginseng aroma hits you strongly at first, then transforms into a familiar cosmetic powder-like scent after application. (It's like that feeling when you just tore open a Korean red ginseng gum wrapper and the scent disappears) 🫧 Texture Although it's a dry oil, I was worried it might feel sticky and tacky, but to my delight, it absorbs smoothly and leaves a soft, moisturized feel. Compared to other oils, this one seems to absorb faster. The remaining oil on my hands doesn't feel slippery, but rather softly sinks in. I used this oil after my usual essence, and when I felt the oil had fully absorbed, I finished with a moisturizer. Then, right before bed, I added a couple more drops of the oil to create a protective layer, and woke up the next day still feeling soft and hydrated without any dryness. If I get the chance, I'd love to try the entire line of products from this brand. As someone who already enjoys the scent of red ginseng, this has been a very soothing and pleasant experience.
Cons
🫧 Quantity When I took it out of the packaging, I realized it's only 15g - a surprisingly small size. The downside is that I'll have to be more careful in using it, but the upside is that it'll be very travel-friendly and won't take up much space in my bag. 🫧 Price Compared to the products I normally use, the price is a bit steep. However, considering the quality of the ingredients and the fact that I don't need to use a large amount at a time, I think the cost-effectiveness is not too bad. If I'm able to use every last drop and still feel satisfied, I'd be happy to repurchase.

Pros
Since it's an oil, I applied it in the last step of my skincare routine before bed, using it instead of a cream. The scent is a subtle herbal medicinal fragrance, not too overpowering, and while I'm not usually a big fan of such scents, I was worried the fragrance would linger on my skin, but fortunately it dissipated quickly! The main advantage is that it's not sticky or greasy, and absorbs incredibly fast. I've tried various face oils before, and while most of them absorb well, after some time or the next morning, my face would end up looking very shiny and oily, and I'd get some breakouts. But this oil doesn't do that, which I really liked. It just leaves a lightweight, just-right oil film on the skin that doesn't linger for long! The packaging is also very luxurious and pretty.
Cons
The only downside is...the price? The scent may be divisive, but since it dissipates quickly, I'm not sure if that counts as a real downside.
Tip
It's best to warm a small amount in the palm of your hand, then gently pat it onto your face, excluding the T-zone, and let it sit for about 30 seconds.

Pros
The weather was cold, windy, and dry during the seasonal change, leaving my skin quite rough. Being in my late 20s and having sensitive skin, I was a bit hesitant about anti-aging care. When I first saw the packaging, it looked like something you'd find on a high-end vanity (by 'high-end', I mean it has a somewhat luxurious feel, like a Sulwhasoo product). Anyway, the texture is an oil-based formula, slightly on the thin side. The scent is strongly of red ginseng. The oil-based formula is usually slow to absorb and can feel a bit suffocating, but this one absorbed quickly and left my skin feeling moisturized and nice. The photos are before and after use. Given its highly nourishing properties, it might be a bit intimidating for blemishes.
Cons
Those sensitive to the scent of red ginseng may not like it, as the fragrance lingers on the face for some time after application.

Pros
I have sensitive, severely dry, and acne-prone skin! My skin condition varies greatly depending on hormonal changes, being significantly better or worse every month. I've been using this Donginbi signature oil product during the best time of the month for my skin, when my hormones are more balanced. I was worried about using oil on my acne-prone skin, but I'm really satisfied with this product! 🤎 Fragrance The fragrance is what I liked the most! It has a floral aroma. I usually don't like the fragrances in oil products, but I've been tolerating them, thinking I'm using the pure essence. With the Donginbi product, I was initially unsure if I could handle the fragrance, but as soon as I applied it, I thought "Oh, the fragrance is so nice!" and felt good every time I used it. 🤎 Absorption I think the absorption is good. I haven't used many oil products before, but my skin tends to not absorb them well, and there's always a greasy residue left on my face, which worries me about clogged pores. But the Donginbi product has a slightly lightweight feel, so the absorption is not an issue. It's not an oil that just flies away, but rather: No greasy residue on the skin surface❌ Not heavily sitting on the skin surface❌ Provides a moisturizing layer on the skin surface⭕ Prevents the lightweight product from flying away⭕ That's the kind of feel it has. 🤎 Texture It's an oil, but not thick and sticky. When I put it on the back of my hand and tilt it, it flows smoothly. I've been mixing a drop or two into my moisturizer and applying it that way. When I mix it in, the lightness of the moisturizer goes away, and it becomes more substantial. 🤎 Usage Experience After applying, my face feels soft and moisturized. As the weather gets colder, the other products I've been using tend to just evaporate, leaving my skin feeling dry. But when I mix this oil into my night routine, the moisture lasts through the night. And my face still feels soft and supple the next morning. I started using this product right after a trip abroad, and my skin is currently in a bit of a mess, but I don't think it's because of this product. It's probably from going from a hot climate to a cold one, which has disrupted my skin. On dry nights, I use this oil as a moisturizer, and I'm hoping to get my skin back to a good condition to be able to use it well throughout the winter.
Cons
🤎 Usage (Packaging) The packaging is really pretty and adorable, and I think it well represents the product image. But it's a bit inconvenient to use. I have to open the cap and flip the bottle to dispense a drop or two of the oil, but the oil doesn't come out easily, or sometimes it suddenly drops out two or three drops, which is a bit inconvenient. However, the cute and premium-looking packaging makes me feel good every time I use it, and the oil doesn't get exposed to air or touch my hands or skin, so it's quite hygienic as well.🙂
Tip
🤎 Try mixing it with your existing moisturizer! The oil makes the moisturizer feel more substantial, which is great for the colder season when the lightweight moisturizer alone was difficult to apply.

Pros
The fragrance of a luxurious hanok spa lingers While the Donginbi brand image initially evoked a strong herbal scent, perhaps I've just grown older? Not overpowering, but subtly soothing... it has the feel of Korean aromatherapy oil🥹 -It absorbs quickly For an oil, it absorbs rapidly -The shine is lovely -It's softly moisturizing -The dispenser is well-controlled, so it's not too heavy
Cons
There were no major issues Unless you have oily skin, I would recommend it

Pros
Texture💆‍♀️ The texture is not heavy and not overly oily, which I really like. Other brands' oils have excellent moisturizing power, but the oily feeling can be a bit burdensome for oily skin types. However, the Signature Oil provides just the right amount of moisture, so it doesn't weigh down the skin. Fragrance🫶 While the fragrance is quite polarizing, I personally enjoy the ginseng scent, so I didn't find the fragrance unpleasant.
Cons
The price point is a bit disappointing, but considering the cost of the raw materials, I can understand why it's priced that way.🥲
Tip
Don't just use it on your skin, try it on your dry hair, the back of your hands, and your body! The price is a bit steep,😈 but it's great for scalp massages and a small amount can be used for hair styling as well.
