Hydrating essence toner
Description
Beauty of Joseon Ginseng Essence Water is a lightweight, hydrating essence–toner formulated with 80% ginseng root water and 2% niacinamide to brighten, balance oil and moisture, and support the skin barrier. Inspired by traditional Korean herbal medicine (hanbang), it helps to deeply hydrate, improve elasticity, and protect against environmental stress while refining texture and reducing the appearance of fine lines and dullness. The 150ml essence absorbs quickly, leaving skin comfortable, refreshed, and radiant, and is suitable for all skin types including sensitive and combination skin.
