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
I have an extremely dry skin type, so using just a lotion alone felt a bit lacking, especially in the winter. But when I layered the lotion, followed by a moisturizer and then this oil, the balance felt just right. Compared to using the lotion alone, there was definitely more stickiness and oiliness with this product. But it wasn't overly heavy or burdensome. In fact, it felt more refreshing and lightweight compared to other oil products I've tried. I think this could be suitable not just for dry skin types, but also for combination or oily skin, without being too much of a concern. The packaging is really elegant and luxurious-looking, which I think would make it a great gift, especially for more mature recipients who appreciate that sophisticated aesthetic. The ginseng scent might also appeal to that demographic. The unique dropper-style dispenser was a bit unusual at first, but I learned it's designed that way to minimize air exposure and oxidation of the product. It didn't end up being inconvenient to use once I got used to it. Overall, this oil product provided great nourishment and balance for my extremely dry skin when used in conjunction with my other skincare steps. The texture, finish, and packaging all exceeded my expectations.
Cons
The amount of product seems a bit small... I looked into it and understand this is a premium line, so the price point is higher. Honestly, the effects and benefits of the product are really great, but it's hard for me to justify purchasing it with my own money since the price-to-volume ratio feels a bit burdensome. It would be difficult for me to use this on a daily basis due to the high price and relatively small amount of product. I wish the volume was a bit more generous for the cost.
Tip
I would recommend this product to: 1. Those with extremely dry skin 2. Those who want hydration but found oil-based products to be too heavy 3. Those who previously couldn't use facial oils due to the thick, greasy texture 4. Those who want intense hydration but also a lightweight, easily-absorbed finish 5. Those focused on skin elasticity, skin texture, and deep hydration I would not recommend this to: 1. Those who dislike the red ginseng fragrance 2. Those who tend to break out from using any oil-based products Tip: After cleansing, use a toner or essence to prep the skin. Then, dispense about 3 drops of the oil into your palms, rub your hands together to warm it up, and gently press and pat the oil into your face, starting from the center and working outwards. This helps the oil absorb more easily into the skin. You can also use it to lightly massage the face, neck, lymph nodes, and trapezius area.

Pros
It's great! I use it after applying toner, and it gets absorbed right away, leaving a refreshing finish. But it doesn't make my skin feel dry! The usage experience is also quite nice, and my skin has really improved. I skipped the ampoule step in my usual skincare routine and used this instead, and the next day, all my blemishes had disappeared. My uneven skin texture also became completely smooth! It seems to work well on bumpy skin and spreading acne. I'm not sure about the skin barrier, but after using it for about a week, my skin has definitely improved overall! 👍👍
Cons
The scent? It has a strong ginseng aroma right after application. The scent does dissipate quickly, but it lingers on the hands.
Tip
You can apply it by dropping a few drops on your palms and gently pressing it all over your face. You can also mix it into other cosmetics and apply it that way!

Pros
It sinks into the skin without leaving any residue, and it's great for improving skin tightness. Most importantly, it makes the skin incredibly soft!! Lately, my skin has become rough due to frequent drinking, spicy and salty eating habits, and a reversed sleep schedule, but when I apply the signature oil, my skin immediately becomes soft, and the softness is maintained even when I don't apply it for a few days!! Although it's a small amount and the price is high, I'm 100% willing to purchase it because it suits my skin so well. It's a lightweight type of oil, but the effects are much better! (I've tried many oil products as someone with very dry skin, but the Donginbi oil is the best... It's worth the money.) I recommend this to those with rough skin texture, skin tightness issues, and those who prefer a lightweight oil type.
Cons
While it may not be a drawback per se, the ginseng scent is much stronger than expected! It's more like a ginseng candy than ginseng extract. The scent doesn't dissipate quickly after application, so the ginseng fragrance lingers for a long time. (Older people might enjoy this.) And the small amount for the high price...
Tip
I don't apply the signature oil alone as the final step in my skincare routine. Instead, I mix a drop or two of the signature oil into my lotion or cream! It mixes well with the other products, allowing me to apply it more thoroughly. When I apply the oil alone, a good portion of it gets absorbed into my palms, but when I mix it with other products, the oil seems to be better absorbed into my skin. The amount is small, but by mixing a couple of drops with other products, I can use it for quite a long time!

Pros
The best part was the lightweight, smooth, and non-sticky feel. I've been struggling with my skin lately due to breakouts, and my skin has become so dry from using medication that it's been difficult to do my makeup. But when I mixed a drop or two of this product into my base skincare and applied it, my skin felt much better, and the flaky skin was better concealed. My dry-skinned mom has been using it with me, and she seems to be even more satisfied with it than I am. She said the appropriate oil content makes it feel great to use, without being too greasy.
Cons
As I think about using it consistently, the price point does seem a bit burdensome. The scent is quite strong, like a ginseng candy. It didn't bother me much, but those sensitive to fragrance may not like it.
Tip
Adding a drop or two of this to your base lotion or cream before makeup application can really help the makeup apply smoothly!

Pros
What a wonderful feeling to receive a package as a gift! It was so luxurious and lovely. To get straight to the point, the product had a great finish without any stickiness. It felt like my skin was thoroughly moisturized. Even my mom used it, and she was delighted the next day as her skin became smooth and glowing. The scent is like sweet ginseng candy, and although I'm not a fan of ginseng, the delicate ginseng aroma gave it an aesthetic vibe that I actually enjoyed! You can also use it for facial massage with the oil, and when I used a device to help it absorb, the effects were doubled.
Cons
It's a bit pricey at 120,000 won. I felt like only 2-3 drops were needed, and it didn't absorb that well.
Tip
Using it with a device really gives you the feeling of getting professional skin care treatment!

Pros
*Texture: I thought the texture would be sticky and heavy on the face since it's an oil, but it had a lightweight, viscous skin-like feel. *Usage: When applied to the skin, it absorbed well without any stickiness or heaviness. What I liked most was that it finished with a refreshing feel, even though it's an oil. *Effects: On the first day of using the oil, my skin looked noticeably smoother and more refined the next day. After using it for about 3 days, I felt like my skin was regaining its elasticity from within, so I think continued use would yield great results. And unlike some oils, there were no breakout issues at all.
Cons
The scent was quite strong, so it may not appeal to everyone.
Tip
When my skin feels a bit dry or needs more moisture, I like to mix the oil with a cream and apply it in layers, which helps my skin recover quickly.

Pros
1. Usage experience: The formula is neither too rich nor too light, just right. As you can see in the photo, it glides on smoothly. 2. Moisturizing power: Since it's an oil, the most important thing is that it coats the skin, and it remained smooth and supple until the next day. Some products just leave a residue, but I felt like my skin itself became softer, so I was satisfied! 3. Packaging: It's quite luxurious! It seems to target an older age group rather than a modern one. The design was still good, and I liked the container. It's annoying when oils just drip out, but this one has a controlled dispenser, and it seems less likely to deteriorate.
Cons
The scent has a faint ginseng aroma, which is not that great. And the ingredients are a bit disappointing.
Tip
Tip for using oils! Dispense a drop or two into your palm, rub your hands together to generate some friction heat, then gently pat it all over your face. The amount is just right, and it provides overall hydration!
