[BeautyOfJoseon] Ginseng Essence Water 150ml

Product Overview

A lightweight hydrating essence water built around ginseng root water, supported by glycerin, propanediol, glyceryl glucoside, panthenol and sodium hyaluronate.

The formula also contains 2% niacinamide, alongside multiple ginseng-derived ingredients, allantoin and dipotassium glycyrrhizate.

Its watery texture makes it an easy first hydration layer after cleansing, particularly for customers who want hydration with additional skin-conditioning and tone-supporting ingredients without the richness of a milky essence.

Why We Chose It

Glass Ritual chose the Beauty of Joseon Ginseng Essence Water because it provides more than a basic humectant toner while remaining lightweight.

The formula combines several complementary hydration ingredients — glycerin, propanediol, glyceryl glucoside, panthenol and sodium hyaluronate — with an extensive group of ginseng-derived ingredients.

The addition of 2% niacinamide further differentiates it from purely hydration-focused essences by providing additional support for uneven-looking tone and skin barrier function.

This makes it particularly useful for customers who want hydration plus gentle multi-functional support in one lightweight step.

Benefits

• Helps replenish hydration after cleansing
• Ginseng root water forms the primary base of the formula
• Contains multiple additional ginseng-derived ingredients
• Provides humectant support from glycerin and propanediol
• Contains glyceryl glucoside for additional hydration support
• Contains sodium hyaluronate
• Panthenol supports hydration and skin comfort
• 2% niacinamide supports barrier function and a more even-looking complexion
• Allantoin and dipotassium glycyrrhizate provide soothing support
• Lightweight, watery texture

Who It's For

May be suitable for:

• Dehydrated skin
• Normal skin
• Combination skin
• Oily but dehydrated skin
• Dry skin wanting a lightweight first hydration layer
• Dull or uneven-looking skin
• Those wanting hydration plus niacinamide
• Those who prefer watery rather than creamy essences
• Those wanting a multi-functional post-cleansing step

Those already using several niacinamide-containing products should consider their complete routine rather than unnecessarily duplicating the ingredient across multiple layers.

How to Use

After cleansing, dispense an appropriate amount into clean hands.

Gently spread over the face and pat until absorbed.

It can be used directly after cleansing or after toner if a separate toner is part of your ritual.

Follow with serum if needed and an appropriate moisturiser.

Use morning and/or evening.

Additional layers can be applied according to individual hydration needs, but repeated layering is optional.

Ritual Position

Simplified ritual:
Cleanse → Beauty of Joseon Ginseng Essence Water → Serum if needed → Moisturiser

When using a separate toner:
Cleanse → Toner → Beauty of Joseon Ginseng Essence Water → Serum if needed → Moisturiser

Because this product sits between the traditional toner and essence categories, a separate toner is not essential.

Glass Ritual Pairing

For oily but dehydrated skin, pair with a lightweight moisturiser and assess whether an additional hydrating serum is actually necessary.

For dry and dehydrated skin, follow with a more emollient moisturiser to help reduce moisture loss.

Because this essence already contains several humectants plus niacinamide, customers do not automatically need another hyaluronic-acid toner, hyaluronic-acid essence and niacinamide serum in the same ritual.

Hydration should be purposeful, not a competition to stack the greatest number of products.

Safety & Ingredient Information

For external use only. Avoid direct contact with the eyes. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water. Discontinue use if persistent irritation develops.

Those with sensitive or reactive skin should introduce new skincare products gradually and consider patch testing before regular use.

Ingredient formulations may occasionally be updated by the manufacturer. Always check the ingredient list printed on the product packaging received for the most current formulation.

Glass Ritual Note: We deliberately remove claims that ginseng saponins deliver moisture “deep inside the skin” or that historical medicinal use proves modern cosmetic effectiveness. The formula does not need those claims to justify its place on our Hydration shelf. Its strength is clear from the formulation: multiple humectants + ginseng-derived conditioning ingredients + panthenol + sodium hyaluronate + 2% niacinamide in a lightweight essence-water format.
