It is suitable for all skin types, especially dry, dull, and mature skin, and is ideal for daily morning and evening care. Its lightweight, water-based texture allows layering with facial serums.

Key Benefits

According to the manufacturer, ginseng root water hydrates and helps retain moisture in the skin. The ginseng complex also provides antioxidant effects and supports the skin barrier.

Niacinamide helps regulate excess sebum and maintain the balance between oiliness and hydration. Intense and long-lasting hydration supports a healthy and plumper-looking complexion. With daily use, the essence contributes to a smoother, brighter, and more even skin appearance.

Regular use thus combines long-lasting hydration, skin barrier support, and a more balanced complexion.
