about Ginseng.

Ginseng is one of Korea's most prized beauty roots, and two houses have made it their signature. Sulwhasoo has studied ginseng for skincare since 1964, and the Sulwhasoo Concentrated Ginseng Rejuvenating Cream Rich is a dense cream that plumps dry skin and softens the look of lines. Beauty of Joseon brings the hanbang tradition to a lighter everyday routine with the Beauty of Joseon Dynasty Cream, rice and ginseng for deep hydration and a dewy glow.

The richest ginseng creams are made for drier, more mature skin; normal and combination skin often wears an essence or serum under a lighter moisturizer instead. A ginseng essence or serum goes on after toner, and a ginseng cream seals it all in, with sunscreen over it in the morning. At KBeauty Shop the Sulwhasoo and Beauty of Joseon creams are the Korean originals.

questions, answered.

Which ginseng cream should I choose?

For dry, combination or normal skin that wants richness, the Sulwhasoo Concentrated Ginseng Rejuvenating Cream Rich plumps, softens the look of fine lines and keeps skin hydrated for hours. The Beauty of Joseon Dynasty Cream hydrates for 24 hours, keeps oil in balance and sits well under makeup, especially on normal to dry skin. For a lighter texture, the Beauty of Joseon Revive Serum: Ginseng + Snail Mucin leaves tired, dry skin bouncy and firm-feeling.

What does ginseng do in skincare?

Ginseng root extract helps skin hold on to moisture and look smoother and more radiant, which is why it leads Korean creams and serums for dry, tired-looking skin and why hanbang skincare is built around it. The Sulwhasoo First Care Activating Serum VI is a good example: a silky first step after cleansing that boosts hydration and supports the barrier.

Is red ginseng different from ginseng?

Red ginseng is ginseng root that has been steamed and dried, a traditional Korean preparation with a deeper, earthier character. The DONGINBI Red Ginseng Daily Defense Essence uses it in a rich daily essence that firms, supports elasticity and nourishes the moment it goes on.

Does ginseng skincare have a scent?

It depends on the formula. Some ginseng creams and essences carry an added herbal scent and others are made without added fragrance, so check the ingredient list if scent matters to you.
