Donginbi Red Ginseng Daily Defense Essence - Firming & Skin Barrier Repair Serum for Dry Skin, Korean Red Ginseng Essence, Korean Skin Care Gifts for Women, 1.01 floz / 30ml

My first time using Donginbi products, what can I say? It's been a revelation! Ok, I haven't really taken care of my skin so far and since I'm now on the wrong side of 45 I decided to take the plunge. I have combination skin with a particularly oily T-zone, and after trying some mattifying lotions which made the oiliness worse than before, I just gave up.Skin concerns- very oily skin, small pimples on and around my chin, and deep laughter lines on the sides of my mouth. I really didn't expect to see any changes at the end of the day.With my limited budget I bought this Upgraded Anti-aging Daily Defence Serum EX as well as the Donginbi Red Ginseng Moisture & Firming Facial Emulsion lotion; and twice daily I have applied the serum, then the lotion after cleansing and toning. A little goes a long way.ResultsAfter about a week I started noticing some changes in my skin tone and texture - my face looks brighter, pores definitely are reduced; and best of all the laughter lines are not as deep. My infamously oily T-zone still gets oily but not as quickly and as much. No fresh breakouts on my chin.After 3 weeks -almost smooth chin, and the T-zone has not changed much from week one. The laughter lines are now about an inch and some down from the sides of my nose. They used to reach a little past my bottom lip. If I had known my face would change for the better I would have taken before and after pictures, but I really didn't expect much beyond maybe some well moisturized skin.I am very happy with Donginbi so far, and I am thinking of buying more of the brand's products. Definitely.

I bought the serum along with the emulsion. I appreciate how ginseng is an antioxidant alternative if I want to take a break from using a vitamin C serum. This ginseng serum gives my skin a glow, plus provides other anti-aging benefits. While I've never experienced irritation from using a vitamin C serum, I know it can be tricky for others. People may want to explore ginseng for this reason. Donginbi is a well-respected brand for ginseng products.

It was recommended to me by a friend who visited the country it is made. I use only at night and my skin feels nice in a.m.

Excellent texture and hydration feel

I have been experimenting with my skin for a while, trying to figure out what kind of vitamin A derivative to use, that would be tolerated by the skin, and came across this product. I have found Korean skincare products to be extremely useful and tolerable on my sensitive skin. Not only is this product absorbed readily into the skin, but also left me feeling comfortable till morning time. The only consideration for a repurchase would be the price point. It’s very expensive.

I don’t write reviews but have to write it as I was in shock. I hardly used it might be less than 4 times and I ran out of it. It doesn’t even have 1 oz for sure. Very disappointed.

Nice smell. Light . Feels so good after applying on the face. High end product. I have orders multiple products pf this brand . Looking forward for a new experience.

This is a really nice serum with a really nice and lightweight texture that sinks into the skin easily. I have been using it for about a month now and my skin definitely feels softer and looks more radiant. It is hydrating and not irritating to my skin, plus it has a pleasing (but subtle) scent. Of course I can't speak to the anti-aging benefits in such a short amount of time, but I am confident that this is giving me a lot of benefits.I took off a star because of the packaging; unfortunately the pump on mine has stopped working, making it very difficult to use up the serum. It's possible that I just got a defective one, but it would easily be a 5 star product without this issue.
