Review : Sulwhasoo Concentrated Ginseng Cream




Product Description
The first ever brand to incorporate nutrient-rich ginseng, this best-selling corrective treatment penetrates the deepest layers of the skin to revive damaged, youth-depleted skin from within.

Formulated with the roots, berries, and water of rare six-year-old Korean ginseng, this treatment stimulates cell regeneration to revitalize and ultimately restore youthful looking skin. Additional Korean herbs like milk-vetch and white mulberry promote an ageless complexion, as jojoba, avocado, mango seed, and sunflower oils moisturize and condition for soft, smooth skin.

The last product from my trial kit, it is also the most expensive of the lot, being concentrated ginseng cream. I usually use it mainly as a night cream as it gave me zits when I layered it as the last product after the emulsion. It is too rich for my skin in the day but works fine in the night, together with the rest of Sulwhasoo products.

With a rich ginseng scent, the cream feels thick, rich and heavy but goes on light as it sinks into the skin pretty quickly, leaving well-nourished and hydrated skin in its place. It feels comfortable without any greasy and sticky after-feel.

The application steps as illustrated below, is similar to that of the First Care Serum



On dehydrated and flaky skin, this works best as the last step after (1) hydrating gel (2) moisturizing sheet mask (3) first care serum (4) balancing water (5) emulsion (6) ginseng cream and I wake up the next morning with smooth, hydrated and supple skin. I deemed it as the savior because I have used it without ginseng cream and the effects were less than desirable. Note that the hydrated gel is from Skinc and the moisturizing sheet mask is from Fancl during the period that I was testing out the ginseng cream efficacy.

With the addition of this product in my skincare regime, I can feel that my skin is healthier and see that my skin is plump, dewy and glowing within as well as looking more even toned. The rough edges that I usually get from dehydration disappears, leaving moist skin in its place.
