## How it works

Panax Ginseng Root Extract is named on the ingredient panel on this serum. 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. On this panel it sits alongside Niacinamide, Phytosteryl/Octyldodecyl Lauroyl Glutamate and Thymol Trimethoxycinnamate. Niacinamide is vitamin B3, and it is the most studied active in Korean formulation. It is used at roughly 2 to 5 percent for the look of uneven tone and visible pores, and it is water soluble, stable and comfortable beside almost every other active, which is why it turns up in so many lists.

## How to use

1. Use the Concentrated Ginseng Brightening Serum Mini after toner and before moisturizer, morning and evening.
2. Apply a moderate amount to the skin after prepping the skin with toner.
3. Toner first so the surface is damp, then this, then about a minute before your moisturizer goes over the top.
4. Twice a day, every day. Do not stack it with a second serum of the same kind; two hydrating serums in one routine do the work of one.

## FAQ

### Is this the same formula sold in Korea, or a version made for the US market?

This is the Korean-market formula, the same one sold on shelves in Korea, not a separate version reformulated for US retail.

### Where does Concentrated Ginseng Brightening Serum Mini go in a routine?

It belongs the concentrated middle step of a routine, used after your toner or essence and before your moisturizer. Placing it earlier or later than that changes how it feels going on and how well the steps around it perform, so it is worth following that order rather than treating it as interchangeable with a different type of product.

### Is this suited to my skin type?

It is formulated with normal skin, dry skin, combination skin, and skin that runs sensitive in mind, and it does not lean on a heavy fragrance load or a harsh surfactant base to do its job. If your skin is easily reactive, patch test on a small area first before working it into a full routine.

### Is this product fragranced?

Yes, this formula's own ingredient list includes Fragrance, listed as Parfum. If you are sensitive to added scent or prefer a fragrance-free routine, this is worth knowing before you build it into daily use.

### Who should be careful with this product, or wait before trying it?

Introduce a new serum gradually rather than every day at first, so it is easier to tell if skin is reacting to it specifically. Beyond that, anyone new to the brand or the format should patch test on a small area first rather than applying it across the whole face on day one.
