Pros
The texture is thin and spreads well!! 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!!!
Cons
The 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.

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
Even though I have combination skin, it gets dry in the winter, so I've been using jojoba oil since the year before last. I've never used any other type of oil on my face. It's not greasy and feels light / It's not sticky and has a clean, light texture, more like a rich lotion than an oil. (With jojoba oil, you can just pour it out freely, but this oil is more expensive and the instructions recommend dispensing about 2 drops onto your palm, rubbing them together, and then applying the warmth to your face, which may be why I experienced it this way!) I don't use many drops, but the moisturizing power is pretty good. I don't use it alone, but apply it after toning or using pads to smooth my skin texture.
Cons
The dispenser is the same as the one I dislike for the iHerb tea tree oil... The contents are nice, but it's hard to control the amount I want to use. I tried to capture the difficulty in the photo, but the drops fell randomly, so it didn't work out. With the tea tree oil, towards the end, it would start dripping out the side, so I'm worried this one might do that too. Since the volume is so small, I'm worried that a dropper-style dispenser would lead to wasteful use, so this type of dispenser was probably chosen for that reason...
Tip
It's a bit pricey, but the concept and scent are great, so I think it would make a wonderful gift for an adult, along with Sulwhasoo products.

Pros
Every winter, I've been using a face oil to moisturize and strengthen my skin barrier. With other brands, the formula was too heavy, so I would mix a drop or two into my cream, but this time I tried using it on its own for the review. The formula is not too light or too heavy, so it's not burdensome to use on its own, and it doesn't feel greasy or sticky, which I liked. For a face oil, it absorbs quite well. I didn't experience any breakouts or irritation while using it. I only applied it in the evenings, and after about 5 days, I noticed my skin felt more refined in the mornings. The scent is a strong ginseng fragrance. I don't mind the ginseng scent, so I'm satisfied using it, but the scent may be divisive.
Cons
The price is a bit burdensome. Also, since it's not in a dropper bottle, it was a little difficult to control the amount.

Pros
- Absorbs quickly - The ginseng aroma is very strong, making me feel healthier. (However, the aroma may be divisive for some) - Contains high-purity red ginseng oil that improves skin aging in the dermis (antioxidant) - Very little stickiness, so it can be used on oily skin as well (Recommended for those looking for a refreshing and lightweight oil)
Cons
- Felt drier than expected for an oil (Those with extremely dry skin may find it difficult to provide enough moisture, especially in the winter) - Caused irritation and redness on areas with skin inflammation - Personally, I find dropper-type ampoules or oils easier to control the amount - The price is not very affordable considering the good ingredients (red ginseng) included
Tip
When using a face oil, be sure to apply it after thoroughly hydrating the skin with a toner or ampoule for faster absorption!

Pros
* This is an honest review after using the product for 9 days from October 31st to November 9th, as a winner of the Hwahae Trial Reviewer program * [ Skin Type ] Dry + Sensitive + Enlarged Pores [ Product Texture ] Flowing oil type [ Fragrance ] Red ginseng scent [ Finish ] Less sticky and absorbs well ------------------------- The packaging is luxurious and pretty~ There seems to be red ginseng? inside the oil haha Even though it's an oil concentrated with 187 red ginsengs, it doesn't feel greasy or slippery, and absorbs well!! In the evening, I put about 3 drops on my palms, rub them together to generate warmth, and then apply it to my face. Then I follow up with a light moisturizer. It's really nice! Using it in the morning before makeup can be a bit heavy, so I only use about a drop on days when my face feels dry from the wind. As I use it, my face seems to become smoother, which I really like.
Cons
I received it as an event winner, but the price is a bit high if I were to purchase it... However, I think the effects will become more noticeable with continued use, so I might buy it during a sale. The oil is in an essential oil-style dispenser, not a dropper, which is a bit inconvenient. The red ginseng scent is quite strong. As it's a red ginseng oil, it's unavoidable, but... I don't really like ginseng scents. But it's not an unpleasant, overpowering ginseng smell, more like the scent in a sauna, so it's not too bothersome.
Tip
Applying about two drops of the oil and then following up with a light moisturizer works really well~

Pros
Oil products can be difficult to manage if the opening is not made properly, as they tend to leak and get messy everywhere. This product has been designed to address this issue by allowing the oil to dispense in single drops, making it easy to use cleanly. The oil texture is not heavy or sticky, but rather refreshing, and it provides good moisturization. During this time of seasonal changes, when the skin tends to become dry and dull, using this product has made my skin radiant and glowing. Whereas before, I would need to apply a skin essence and cream in the morning, and my skin would still feel tight by late afternoon, now my skin remains moisturized and supple until my evening cleansing routine. The scent of red ginseng may be divisive, but as someone who enjoys the fragrance, I find it to be an added benefit that makes my skin feel healthier.
Cons
The price range is a bit steep, making me hesitant to repurchase once I've used up the product. Additionally, the luxurious packaging and container seem at odds with the rather flimsy lid. I've found myself frequently dropping the lid on the floor when trying to open the product.
Tip
I've had good results using this oil not just on its own, but also by mixing a few drops into my essence or cream. This improves the application and absorption compared to using the oil alone.

Pros
The oil seems to be effective, as any blemishes that came up were quickly soothed.😭🤦🏻‍♀️ Wow, it even helps calm down blemishes... This is truly the perfect oil..... I, the face oil nomad, have found my new home here...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cons
I didn't have any complaints about the product at all while using it. But if I had to nitpick, the only potential downside would be the price... However, since the main ingredient is Korean red ginseng from Cheong Kwan Jang, I think the price is quite reasonable. As a face oil nomad, I plan to continue purchasing and using this product with my own money! And since a little goes a long way in terms of the hydrating effects, I think this amount will last me quite a while at this price point!!!👍🏻👍🏻
Tip
I've been applying the oil by dropping it onto my palm and then gently massaging it into my skin, which gives a nice, coated feeling as it applies. It's just perfect to use right after cleansing, without any additional steps!❤️‍🔥

Pros
Feels so luxurious?!😍 From the deep ginseng aroma to the smooth, non-oily texture and the beautiful bottle, I loved it from the very first use. There's no stickiness or oily feeling, and it absorbs quite well. My skin feels softer without any oily residue, which I really enjoyed.
Cons
The ginseng is good, but it seems to have too much artificial fragrance mixed in, which is a bit disappointing. When I apply it to sensitive areas, it seems to cause some irritation. Anyway, using it daily feels a bit burdensome.
Tip
It's perfect when mixed with a 2-3 drop cream, using it every other day.

Pros
When I opened the package, the first impression was that it would make a great gift for my parents. The packaging was luxurious and elegant. The subtle ginseng floral scent is not overpowering and does not cause headaches. It has a sophisticated, refined fragrance. The pale amber-colored oil has a light viscosity, rolling on smoothly and softly, providing an immediate moisturizing effect and a radiant glow to the skin. Although it is an oil, it does not leave a sticky residue. By layering it and pressing it into the skin, the nourishing ingredients are deeply absorbed, leaving no greasy feel. Even though I have acne-prone skin with underlying dryness, I noticed a difference in how my makeup applied the next day - it went on more smoothly and evenly without emphasizing flaky patches or irritation.
Cons
A bottle with a dropper would be helpful to better control the amount used each time.
Tip
Adding a drop or two to my night cream or nourishing moisturizer before bed and gently pressing it into the skin results in a luminous, spa-like glow by morning.
