🌿 Beauty of Joseon Ginseng Essence Water – hydrating and revitalising ginseng essence

The Ginseng Essence Water is a lightweight, water-based essence built around one of the most renowned ingredients in Korean hanbang skincare, ginseng. With ginseng water, ginseng extracts, niacinamide, panthenol, allantoin, adenosine, and hyaluronic acid, it supports the development of more hydrated, balanced, and radiant skin.

✨ What does it do?

It helps increase skin hydration, supports the skin barrier, and provides a fresh, plump feeling without heaviness. Niacinamide also supports the balance of sebum and hydration, while ginseng acts as an antioxidant skincare ingredient to help revitalise dull, tired skin.
