Beauty of Joseon Revive eye serum : Ginseng + Retinal, 30ml, 1fl.oz.

Product Information

In particular, it is recommended for people who worry about reduced skin elasticity and fine wrinkles. In addition, 2% (active ingredient 0.02%) of retinal stabilized in the form of liposomes was blended into the formula. All of this to achieve stability and reduce skin irritation at the same time. I heard about Pyunkang Yul first from Gothamista, YouTube’s skincare godmother. Their products are really minimalist and focus on using plant extracts to make products suitable for sensitive skin.

If you’ve been reading my posts, you’ll know this family of sunscreens has been top of my list for a while – they work really nicely on my skin. They feel like a cream-gel moisturiser going on, they’re hydrating, and they feel like they stay on your skin pretty well. They can leave a bit of a shiny finish, so some people find them greasy. For me, the shiny film is super light and falls on the glowy side of the glowy/greasy dichotomy. I think part of this is also that they hydrate my skin really well, which means any oil feels lighter, and makes my skin look better rather than worse. For exfoliating, you prep your skin with warm water, pump out some product and just start massaging. After about a minute, you start to feel little sand-sized grains forming under your fingertips. It’s very satisfying! Glycerin: Also found in the top layer of our skin, glycerin is a natural skincare ingredient that works to keep our skin cells in their correct form, protect our skin barrier, and treat really dry skin and/or irritation. Beauty of Joseon Ginseng Essence Water is also very popular. It is great when cleansing, as the ginseng actively encourages the skin to retain moisture, a key component for fighting the effects of tired skin. What Beauty of Joseon products should I have to pamper myself?My skin was super smooth and soft afterwards, more so than with a peeling gel. So I think it does have a more hydrating effect than a standard peeling gel, and more of a smoothing effect too. The main ingredient in this is snail mucin (or “snail secretion filtrate”) – it’s at 96%, which is what the 96 in the name means. The Pyunkang Yul Essence Toner was perfectly soothing and hydrating during the summer months (I used 2-3 layers), but I had to switch to something a bit more hydrating when the temperatures lately have dropped below 0*C.

Are Beauty of Joseon products vegan or cruelty-free?

Beauty of Joseon Revive eye serum : Ginseng + Retinal is an eye serum that helps to improve wrinkles on the sensitive skin around the eyes by combining ginseng extract and retinal.

We were keen on integrating Vitamin A with ginseng, specifically its two cosmetic forms, retinol and retinal. Our primary challenge was to balance ingredient stability while minimizing skin irritation. Hence, we incorporated 2% (active ingredient 0.02%) of liposome-stabilized retinal in our formula, allowing customers to experience retinal's effects firsthand. Snail essence has a complex mix of long-chain sugary molecules (glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and proteoglycans), which is what gives it the stringy texture and that super hydrating effect. The actives in this include birch juice which is meant to be purifying, baobab extract and hyaluronic acid which are hydrating, allantoin which is soothing, as well as the standard niacinamide and adenosine that you see in the other Kolmar sunscreens too. Hanbang is a general term surrounding Korean holistic medicine. It has become more prevalent within skincare as brands like Beauty of Joseon would use the likes of ginseng in their products. My main influencer here was Kelly Driscoll. This is one of her top Beauty of Joseon products – she’s been using it since 2015! This was Beauty of Joseon’s first product, and it’s been through a few reformulations since.

Aside from hydration, this product is also known for brightening skin tone, helping with breakouts and irritation, and there’s some talk of it being good for anti-aging. It’s hard to pin any of this down to a specific substance in the snail essence, but it does have a lot of antioxidants, peptides, antimicrobial compounds, glycolic acid.
