Key actives
Hydrolyzed Ginseng Saponins
The ginsenoside fraction of ginseng root broken into smaller pieces, usually with an enzyme acting on red ginseng. Smaller ginsenosides dissolve and spread more easily than the whole extract.
Panax Ginseng Seed Oil
Ginseng seed oil, pressed from the seed rather than extracted from the root. It is a light oil high in oleic acid and carries a little of the plant's own sterols.
Panax Ginseng Berry Extract
Extract of the ginseng fruit rather than the root. The berry carries a different balance of ginsenosides and is harvested for only a short window each year.
Camellia Sinensis Leaf 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.
Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate
Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate is a water-soluble, stable vitamin C salt. It works at near-neutral pH, so it appears in formulas aimed at skin that pure ascorbic acid leaves stinging.
Tocopheryl Acetate
Tocopheryl Acetate is a stable vitamin E ester that skin converts to tocopherol. It is used as an antioxidant and a light emollient and holds up better than plain vitamin E in a formula.
How to use
- Use it the first step of a routine, on damp skin. AM and PM.

Can I use this every day?
A cleanser can typically be used daily; an exfoliating step is usually better limited to a few times a week, so check the pack for its stated frequency.

How it works
The panel on this oil names three forms of ginseng rather than one: Hydrolyzed Ginseng Saponins, Panax Ginseng Seed Oil, Panax Ginseng Berry Extract. The ginsenoside fraction of ginseng root broken into smaller pieces, usually with an enzyme acting on red ginseng. Smaller ginsenosides dissolve and spread more easily than the whole extract. On this panel it sits alongside Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate and Tocopheryl Acetate. 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.
Worth knowing
- Avoid the eye area and rinse fully with lukewarm water.
