BEAUTY OF JOSEON Ginseng Essence Cleansing Set

Product Description

Ginseng is the ingredient Beauty of Joseon built its name on, and this set puts it at both ends of a routine. The Ginseng Essence Cleansing Set brings together the Ginseng Cleansing Oil in a full 210 mL and the Ginseng Essence Water in a full 150 mL, so you get the first cleanse and the first skincare step from the same line.

The cleansing oil uses soybean oil as its base at 50%, chosen by the brand as a lightweight oil that lifts makeup and sunscreen effectively, with ginseng seed oil giving it a subtle grassy scent. It emulsifies with water and rinses away, and it handles eye makeup without a separate remover. The essence water is 80% ginseng root water with 2% niacinamide, panthenol, glyceryl glucoside and dipotassium glycyrrhizate, and it has a light, watery texture that absorbs immediately.

This suits most skin types and anyone curious about the ginseng line. If you already own one of the two, buying the other individually would work out better per millilitre. Note that the cleansing oil contains soybean oil, which is relevant if you have a soy allergy.
