🌿 Key Benefits

  • Deep, Lasting Hydration — Ginseng Root Water (instead of plain aqua) forms the base, delivering moisture that penetrates deeper layers of the skin
  • Visible Brightening — Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) targets dark spots, uneven tone, and dullness for a natural, lit-from-within glow
  • Firming & Anti-Ageing — Ginseng saponins and antioxidants help improve skin elasticity and combat the visible signs of ageing
  • Pore Refinement — Helps minimise the appearance of enlarged pores over time with consistent use
  • Featherlight Texture — Absorbs in seconds with zero stickiness or residue — ideal for layering
  • Suitable for All Skin Types — Gentle enough for sensitive and combination skin; non-comedogenic
  • Fragrance & Alcohol-Free Formula — Formulated without harsh irritants, making it safe for reactive skin
