What is this product?
A ginseng-water facial mist whose list pairs hydrating humectants such as glycerin and betaine with niacinamide, adenosine, ectoin and madecassoside, plus a set of herbal extracts suited to ginseng water as a light hydrating layer.
What makes it different?
The formula opens with ginseng water in the second position, which is unusually high for a botanical water. Niacinamide sits tenth and adenosine seventeenth, so brightening and smoothing actives are present at undisclosed strengths. Herbal extracts including rehmannia, peony, polygonatum, lotus and lily fill the later half alongside tocopherol and an oil-soluble vitamin C derivative. Fragrance and several fragrance allergens are listed, which sensitive users should weigh.

Ingredients with no mark are ones we found nothing notable about, and when marks overlap on one ingredient we show the caution first.
