Donginbi Red Ginseng Daily Defense Special Set - Essence & Antioxidant Cream for Face, Korean Red Ginseng Skin Care

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.

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.

I’ve heard great things about this brand, and it’s my first time trying it! Overall, i enjoy the product. The serum has a nice consistency, not too watery. It dispenses the perfect amount for your entire face, i usually just use one pump. It has a lovely ginseng scent, but if you are sensitive to fragrance, you might find it overpowering. It does leave a scent even as you layer on the rest of your skincare, but it doesn’t bother me. Overall i like the product, it hydrates my skin and has anti aging properties. I also love the packaging, it’s a really well made product! I look forward to trying out the rest of their products.

I wanted to get a serum and essence to pair them but ended up buying two different essences instead…. Lol not a serum, it’s an essence. Hope it’s still good 👍🏻

Got a recommendation from a friend on this serum since my Estée Lauder one is running out and I wanted to try something new.The package alone I think looks way more expensive than EL serum, and I like how it auto fills the tube every time I put the cap back on. Very smart design.I was impressed with the soothing scent of ginseng. It is exactly the same scent as the ginseng we cook with, so I am pretty convinced that it’s made of natural ginseng, not artificial scent. That’s also why I wanted to switch to a natural skincare product, to avoid artificial additives as much as possible.This serum spreads very easily on my skin, not oily at all. And it’s quickly absorbed by my skin. Blends well with my moisturizer too. I really like it. Look forward to using it more.

Good I like it, will order again later

There are minimal instructions as to how to use this product. Which one do you use first , when do you use it, etc.

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.
