I was gifted Beauty of Joseon skincare products by StyleKorean as part of their ‘Test Me Review Me’ program in return for an honest review.

Gifted Skincare Products

The Beauty of Joseon products that I was gifted included:

• Ginseng Essence Water 150ml
• Revive Eye Serum : Ginseng + Retinal 30ml
• Dynasty Cream 50ml
• Ginseng Moist Sun Serum 50ml

How to Use

I used the essence water, eye serum, and cream as part of my morning and nighttime skincare routine. The sun serum was used only in the morning.

After cleansing and drying my skin, I would gently pat a few drops of the essence water into my face using my hands. I then applied a small amount of the eye serum around my eye area using my fingertips. Once this had soaked in, I then applied the cream all over my face and neck.

In the mornings, as the last step in my skincare routine, I’d apply a few pumps of the sun serum to my face, neck, and ears.

Final Thoughts

The packaging is very clean looking and seems to be of good quality.

The products themselves were really nice to use and soaked in fairly quickly, leaving no sticky or greasy residue. The products didn’t seem to have any smell to them, so they were very neutral.

Usually I don’t use toner, which is what I guess the essence water is, but I was happy to use this as it could be applied using hands rather than cotton wool and soaked in very well.

I liked how the eye serum was dispensed, and again, this was easy to apply and soaked into my skin very well. My eye around doesn’t seem to be puffy, so the serum has been doing well to keep any puffiness at bay.

The consistency of the cream is very different to other creams I have used, more of a gel-like cream consistency. I found that I really didn’t need to apply much of this cream – it gave very good coverage and soaked into my skin nicely.

As with the cream, the consistency of the sun serum was different from what I am used to with regard to sun protection. I really didn’t need much of the serum. It went onto my skin very well, and there was no white cast at all. I also really like this sun serum as it is a high SPF, which is very important to me.
