Pros
As the weather gets colder, this dry skin requires essential oils. -Good moisturizing When my skin gets dry, I mix 1-3 drops of the oil into my cream depending on my skin condition, and it keeps the moisture longer than using the cream alone. -No oiliness This seems to depend on the amount used and the application method. Personally, I prefer mixing the oil into the cream rather than using the oil alone as the final step in my skincare routine. Lately, I've been mixing about two drops into my cream, and it doesn't feel oily at all. -Clean application It's not an extremely heavy type of oil, so there's no sticky residue left behind, and the absorption isn't too slow either. It has a nice middle-ground feel, not too light or too heavy. -Versatile It's usable without any issues. I didn't experience any irritation on my skin.
Cons
-Inconvenient packaging The packaging is inconvenient. It doesn't seem to have a dropper, likely due to concerns about rancidity or hygiene, but even without a dropper, the packaging should be more user-friendly. Sometimes the product doesn't come out at all, and other times it pours out too much. -Fragrance There may be some likes and dislikes regarding the scent. These days, even traditional Korean herbal cosmetics don't tend to have such a strong herbal fragrance, but the ginseng scent was quite strong when I first started using it. However, it does become more muted over time as you get used to it. -Price I've tried various oils when my skin gets dry, and while some products are worth the price, this one feels a bit overpriced. There are many more affordable options that provide similar or even better moisturizing performance, so I'm not sure if I'd purchase this one again.

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
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
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.

Pros
I originally had very oily skin, so I would experience oil breakouts... 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.
Cons
The 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.
Tip
I used this as part of my nighttime routine, applying it after cleansing and before my moisturizer. The appropriate level of moisturization was very nice.

Pros
The packaging is so luxurious that I feel good every time I use it. The oil doesn't feel too heavy, so it seems suitable to use even now, not just in the middle of winter. The moisturizing effect lasts quite well, so I'm pleased that my face doesn't feel tight when I wake up in the morning!
Cons
The ginseng scent... while I don't dislike it, it's quite strong, so it could be divisive.

Pros
This is the perfect oil your dry and rough skin needs right now! 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!
Cons
At 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.
Tip
The 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.

Pros
First of all, I'm a very sensitive person and have combination skin haha. My T-zone is super oily, while the rest is dry and dehydrated. So every winter, I make sure to buy facial oil. But this time, I was able to receive the Donginbi Signature Oil through the Hwahae Trial Reviewer program. Firstly, the texture felt a bit heavy at first, but it's not overly thick. After dropping 4-5 drops on the palm of my hand and patting it onto my face, I didn't feel the usual tightness and dryness that I get after just using my regular skincare. Secondly, it does a great job of balancing my oil and moisture levels. Thirdly, my face feels so nourished after using it. The tightness gradually goes away, and my skin feels more supple than usual. Oh, and I really liked how the oil dispenser doesn't drip or leak, making it easy to control the amount. After diligently using it for a week, I'd love to share this product with my mom as well!
Cons
The distinct ginseng scent is quite strong, so it might not be everyone's cup of tea. The packaging also looks a bit outdated, which is a bit of a letdown (though it could make a nice gift for my mom). Ah, and the price is quite hefty too ㅠㅠ
Tip
After dropping 4-5 drops on your palm, gently rub your hands together and then press the oil into your face to help it absorb fully. It's super moisturizing and nourishing!
