How it works
The Ginseng Serum is a 30ml serum, used after toner and before moisturizer, morning and evening. The plant extract it is built around is Panax Ginseng Root Extract, named second on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Adenosine, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract and Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, so the plant extract is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Panax Ginseng Root Extract stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the serum format rather than by the list alone. This is the Original Korean Formula, the serum I'm From sells in Korea, Panax Ginseng Root Extract and all.

Key actives
Panax Ginseng Root Extractplant extract
Ginseng Root Extract is the signature ingredient of Korean traditional skincare, carrying ginsenosides. It is used for the look of tired, dull skin, and brands often ferment it to break the ginsenosides into smaller forms. The name on the box points at it, and it is named second on this serum's own ingredient list.
Adenosineactive
Adenosine is a nucleoside that Korea's own cosmetic authority recognises as a wrinkle-care functional ingredient, which is why it appears on so many Korean lists at a low level. It is used for the look of fine lines and is stable and well tolerated. The panel names it twenty-eighth on this serum's list, beside Panax Ginseng Root Extract.
Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extractplant extract
Camellia Sinensis is the tea plant. Green tea leaf extract carries catechins, among the most studied plant antioxidants, and is used for the look of redness and oily shine. It is named sixth on this serum's list, alongside Panax Ginseng Root Extract.
Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extractplant extract
Licorice Root Extract carries glabridin and liquiritin. It is one of the classic plant ingredients used for the look of uneven tone and redness, and it appears in almost every brightening formula that avoids synthetic actives. The panel names it ninth on this serum's list, beside Panax Ginseng Root Extract.
Paeonia Albiflora Root Extractplant extract
White peony root extract, from the same plant also written Paeonia lactiflora. The root is the part used in East Asian herbal practice and carries paeoniflorin and tannins. The panel names it tenth on this serum's list, beside Panax Ginseng Root Extract.
Where does this serum go in my routine?
After toner and before moisturizer, morning and evening. Anything thinner than a serum goes on before it, and anything richer goes on after. If you are adding it to a routine you already like, give it a week on its own first, so what you see is the Panax Ginseng Root Extract and not three changes at once.
Is this the Korean-market serum or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Panax Ginseng Root Extract and all. We match this serum to its Korean barcode before it reaches the shelf, which is the check that tells you which market release you are holding.
What else is on the list besides Panax Ginseng Root Extract?
Adenosine, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract and Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract. The order they are printed in on this serum's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Panax Ginseng Root Extract sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Paeonia Albiflora Root Extract, Angelica Gigas Root Extract and Rheum Palmatum Root Extract.

Payment and security
We accept
How to use
- Tone first, then apply on slightly damp skin so the slippy texture spreads instead of dragging.
- Press four or five drops upward across the cheeks and jaw with flat hands.
- Wait about a minute before your night cream so the two layers do not roll together.
- Do not use it as your only night step on dry skin, since a serum has too little occlusion to hold water in on its own.
Worth knowing
- Patch test on the inner arm before first full use, as with any new skincare product.
- Introduce a new active gradually into an existing routine rather than adding several at once.
