oh love . love . love ! it's basically niacinamide and ginseng . this is probably my 3rd or 4th bottle now . i don't ever want to run out of this . i'll always buy it when it's on sales .

It's soothing and light weight.

Been wanting to try this for ages because i love the ingredients, so good

I usually put a small amount on my palm and tap to my face. the texture is like water and it does not dry up my skin. I also like the ginseng smell to it .. it feels very natural.

Pretty good. Might repurchase when it's on sale. It does leave a slight 'tint' on skin though (but I do have pale skin) but I don't mind it since it feels like some kind of 'glow'.

There is something very special about the liquid in this bottle. It's soothing, hydrating, and layers beautifully with other products. Cant get enough of this liquid gold.

this essence has given my skin this glow and its not that my skin is oily its jut glowing . the essence has a strong scent on ginseng but goes away once applied in a few seconds and given the concentration i feel its acceptable to have the ginseng scent. very good packaging and stopper so that you can take out adequate amount. recommended to all wanting a glowy skin

Love anything ginseng! This has such a high percentage of ginseng extract and yet so affordable and the quality is amazing anybody contemplating this should just go ahead and buy it. Helps with hydration, fine lines and soothing the skin and redness. This product you can layer on a few times if you needed extra but I just do it twice and go in with my serum. This product is great for all skin types.

I really like this essence. No real fragrance, and when used with the calming serum from the same line, gives you a good, healthy glow

A watery essence/toner type. Simple, and non-irritating with a subtle herbal scent - which is exactly what I want. A while ago I tested the Missha Artemisia line - and that completely messed up my skin. This is a far better, more elegant, more well-formulated product in my opinion. I like this one a lot; and/becauseI find the Missha lines a bit dodgy (for sensitive skin). However, price without discount is a bit daunting considering the size of the product.

Very thin consistency. Slightly scented with ginseng root water. Goes on easy and absorb into skin quickly. I have used it fir two weeks and have noticed improvement in skin texture as well as oil control.

I really like this essence. No real fragrance, and when used with the calming serum from the same line, gives you a good, healthy glow

good for dry skin and antiaging. ginseng is a powerhouse ingredient and beauty of joseon does a really good job with this essence and their glow serum~! i love their products

I really like this essence. No real fragrance, and when used with the Repair Serum from the same line, gives you a good, healthy glow. I have dry and sensitive older skin and it gives a good amount of moisture and suppleness that lasts all night, and skin is still glowing in the morning. Great buy on sale, had to get an extra.

Love the texture...I use by Patting after first serum

It's moisturising and good for those who want to get on their well-aging game early on for its anti-oxidant properties.

I was pretty excited when I heard that Beauty of Joseon came out with an essence, and most importantly, it's fungal-acne safe! Throughout the 2 weeks of using it, I didn't find the essence to be much impressive. I appreciate how minimal the essence is, but it doesn't pack 'a punch' for an essence: The first ingredient is Panax ginseng root water, so this feels more like a watered down version of ginseng extract. The hydration level is not too high with this one either but I will continue to use it.

Bought it for the good value. Excited to try it soon.

My mom has been using this recently and she has been loving it for the extra hydration during winter months. Not only that but she loves the herbal scent, its not too strong

If you love the smell of ginseng and the benefits of ginseng this product might be worth a try. I personally love the smell and have been using it everyday for my night routine. It absorbs easily into the skin. I can’t speak for the long term effects as I just recently added this to my routine. I mainly use it because I like the smell and hopefully it does provide some anti-aging benefits as well. Honestly, I sometimes find myself wanting to drink it like ginseng tea or soup but I know I shouldn’t haha.

Great ingredient - ginseng. The skin is very stable with using this.

it's ok. Doesnt irritate my skin. not too harsh. will see what happens

Love the high concentration of ginseng, great essence addition to the line!
