How to use
- Use the Concentrated Ginseng Renewing Creamy Mask EX after toner, in place of your serum step, in the evening.
- Open the tray containing the lower part of the mask and remove the film from the back of the mask sheet. Hold the upper end of the lower part of the mask and place on the lower part of your face. Open the tray containing the upper part of the mask and remove the film from the back of the mask sheet.
- Take it off at the time printed on the pack, pat in the essence left behind rather than rinsing, then go straight to your moisturizer.
- Two or three evenings a week is a normal rhythm. Do not leave it on past its time; a sheet that has gone dry takes moisture back off the face as it goes.
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 Renewing Creamy Mask EX go in a routine?
It belongs an occasional, richer step used in place of your regular moisturizer, left on for a set time and then removed. 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?
It is a periodic treatment, not a daily moisturizer, so use it a few times a week rather than every day. 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.

How it works
Sulwhasoo Concentrated Ginseng Renewing Creamy Mask EX is built as a treatment mask, so its texture and finish are designed around one specific place in a routine rather than several. The formula's own ingredient list carries Adenosine, Squalane, Vitamin E (Tocopherol), Ginseng Root Extract (Panax Ginseng), and Shea Butter (Butyrospermum Parkii) among its named ingredients, placed at a level consistent with a treatment mask rather than a stand-alone treatment. The texture is built for an occasional, richer step used in place of your regular moisturizer, left on for a set time and then removed, which is why it behaves differently on skin than a product meant for a different point in a routine. This is the Korean-market formula of the concentrated ginseng renewing creamy mask ex, the version sold on shelves in Korea rather than a formula reworked for a different market.
Worth knowing
- It is a periodic treatment, not a daily moisturizer, so use it a few times a week rather than every day.
- Keep it away from the eyes and lips and remove gently rather than scrubbing it off.
