I thought it would be sticky when applied to the face, but when it was absorbed to a certain degree, I felt a moisturized sensation, and the finish was soft and smooth!!!
ConsThe product quality and skin feel are good, but when my 50-year-old mother used it, she said her eyes felt fatigued and uncomfortable the next day after application. After using it for a week, her eyes kept feeling dry, so I didn't apply it for a day, and her eyes were fine the next day. But when I tried applying it again, avoiding the eye area, her eyes felt hazy again, so I stopped using the product.

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.
ConsThere 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!
TipUsing it with a cream is the best!

(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.

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.ProsSince 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.
ConsThe 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.
TipIt'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.

I work at a hospital and have to wear a mask all day, which has caused some redness due to the friction. The best part is the texture! It's an oil, but it doesn't feel like one - it absorbs completely into the skin. It really penetrates deep into the skin. I really dislike oils that just sit on the surface and leave a greasy film, but this one sinks in nicely while still leaving a light protective layer, making it more and more appealing the more I use it.
ConsThere wasn't really anything I disliked about using it, the only downside was that the price was a bit burdensome.
TipI mixed it with my moisturizer and massaged it into my skin so it would absorb deeply, then after about 10 minutes I added just a small amount more on top to create a light protective layer. This made my skin feel so nourished and supple, and it lasted until the next morning - my skin was so smooth and hydrated!

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
ConsThere were no major issues Unless you have oily skin, I would recommend it

I couldn't even use water-based oils. When my face got greasy, it would lead to breakouts. But this product has the moisturizing benefits of oil without feeling heavy or burdensome, which I really liked.
ConsThe biggest downside of red ginseng products is definitely the ginseng scent. This product also had a strong ginseng aroma as the initial fragrance. However, a floral note emerged after applying it to the face. It was a bit less overwhelming than just the pure ginseng scent. It also required a lot of squeezing to get the product out, which was a bit inconvenient.
TipI used this as part of my nighttime routine, applying it after cleansing and before my moisturizer. The appropriate level of moisturization was very nice.

I'm trying the Donginbi product for the first time, and I really like the subtle ginseng aroma from the high-quality red ginseng oil - it's almost like an aromatherapy experience. It absorbs quickly and smoothly, and just a drop or two is enough for great hydration, so even though the bottle is small, it will last a long time! My skin has been feeling tight and dry after cleansing lately, and I'm worried about fine lines, but this product is exactly what I needed. I'll have to get one for my mom too!
ConsAt first, I thought the dropper was a spout, so I was a little worried, but it ended up being easy to use without any inconvenience.
TipThe distinct ginseng scent is great, so I recommend applying it at night before bed. I use it as my night care, and in the morning, my skin is so smooth and glowing.

First of all, the texture is a well-flowing, watery formula, and the scent is really like a ginseng stick or ginseng candy. And I used to use an oil before, but since it's an oil, it felt heavy and like I had just applied real oil. But this product is not heavy at all and absorbs quickly, so I really love it. It's super moisturizing and doesn't leave a greasy feel like other oils (fast absorption is great). It's not expensive for no reason, I feel like. The packaging is extremely high-end. I strongly recommend this as a gift for parents or other adults..👍🏻
ConsSince the ingredients are good, it's a bit pricey..😭 Not recommended for those who really dislike the ginseng scent!!

The simple overall review: When I use things like work or the like, I hesitate to write because breakouts tend to occur, but the Donginbi oil did not cause any breakouts, which was good. The texture: The texture is a slightly slowly flowing liquid. When rubbed, it becomes glossy and is quickly absorbed. However, the area rubbed becomes shiny. The scent: Have you ever used a herbal shampoo? It has a similar scent to that, like healthy red ginseng or a herbal scent. I didn't find it irritating. Rather, it has a subtle floral scent, which I liked better than a strong floral fragrance. The packaging was more luxurious than expected. It came in a small box, and there was even something resembling a red ginseng root, which made me have high expectations. The effect? As I mentioned about the texture, it absorbs quickly, so you have to rub it in. It gives off a subtle glow and has a luxurious scent, and when you rub it on dry areas like around the mouth, eyes, or forehead, it feels less dry. I recommend using it on areas prone to wrinkles, such as the neck and around the eyes. My mother also tried it with me, and she said it definitely felt more moisturizing. However, there is one disappointing aspect...
ConsI felt that the oil content might be a bit too much for those with oily skin. I mean, it's an oil, so it can't be helped, but I think it's better to use it with some intervals rather than daily... I felt that the excessive nourishment could also be a cause of breakouts.. Aside from that, everything else was great.
