DONGINBI Red Ginseng Daily Defense Essence - Firming & Skin Barrier Repair Serum for Dry Skin, Korean Red Ginseng Essence, Korean Skin Care Gifts for Women, 1.01 floz / 30ml

This is a really nice serum with a really nice and lightweight texture that sinks into the skin easily. I have been using it for about a month now and my skin definitely feels softer and looks more radiant. It is hydrating and not irritating to my skin, plus it has a pleasing (but subtle) scent. Of course I can't speak to the anti-aging benefits in such a short amount of time, but I am confident that this is giving me a lot of benefits. I took off a star because of the packaging; unfortunately the pump on mine has stopped working, making it very difficult to use up the serum. It's possible that I just got a defective one, but it would easily be a 5 star product without this issue.

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. Results After 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.

Good

It was recommended to me by a friend who visited the country it is made. I use only at night and my skin feels nice in a.m.

I bought the serum along with the emulsion. I appreciate how ginseng is an antioxidant alternative if I want to take a break from using a vitamin C serum. This ginseng serum gives my skin a glow, plus provides other anti-aging benefits. While I've never experienced irritation from using a vitamin C serum, I know it can be tricky for others. People may want to explore ginseng for this reason. Donginbi is a well-respected brand for ginseng products.
