Frequently asked questions
What does Ginseng Essence Water actually do for my skin?
It's built around 80% ginseng root water, which uses naturally occurring saponins to deliver deep, lasting hydration. Alongside that, 2% niacinamide works to help balance oil production and even out skin tone, so you get hydration and oil control from one lightweight step instead of layering several products.
Is it suitable for oily or acne-prone skin?
Yes. The formula is fragrance-free and designed for all skin types, including oily and sensitive skin. The niacinamide content specifically helps regulate sebum, and the texture is watery rather than heavy, so it doesn't add extra oil to the skin.
How often should I use it, and when in my routine?
It's designed for both morning and evening use, applied right after cleansing and before your moisturizer. Apply a few drops by hand or with a cotton pad and pat gently into skin until absorbed.
Does it contain fragrance or any common irritants?
No, the formula is fragrance-free, which is part of why it's positioned as suitable even for sensitive skin. As with any new skincare product, we'd still recommend patch-testing on a small area first if you have known sensitivities.
Can I use this under makeup?
Yes. Because it absorbs quickly and doesn't leave a sticky or tacky residue, it works well as a hydrating base step before makeup application.
