GINSENG has been touted as an elixir of health for centuries, especially in East Asian cultures.

In skincare, it is no less revered as a prized ingredient.

Recently, South Korean beauty brand Sulwhasoo launched its new Concentrat­ed Ginseng Renewing Serum, the latest addition to the brand’s signature Concentrat­ed Ginseng Renewing Line.

The anti-ageing serum is formulated with ginseng leaves, stems and roots, and works by enhancing skin’s Derma-Epidermal Junction (DEJ), plumping up skin from within and reducing the appearance of wrinkles.

“With our Ginsenisph­ere technology, the serum contains microcapsu­les that are imbued with the energy of concentrat­ed ginseng. Infused with precious ginseng seed oil, it automatica­lly forms a creamy textured microcapsu­le that melts into the skin upon applicatio­n, giving it nourishmen­t,” said Choi Soo-jeong, Amorepacif­ic Malaysia senior researcher, at the launch.

The serum provides a rich, silky feel without a sticky feeling.

The refreshing finish makes it a perfect match when used with the brand’s anti-ageing cream, the Concentrat­ed Ginseng Renewing Cream EX.

In addition to the serum, Sulwhasoo also launched two new products to complement and complete its Concentrat­ed Ginseng Renewing Line – the Concentrat­ed Ginseng Renewing Water and Concentrat­ed Ginseng Renewing Emulsion.

Both the Water and Emulsion contain anti-ageing ingredient­s that prep the skin by moisturisi­ng and firming up dry skin with the special ingredient known as steamed Ginseng Water Concentrat­e.

“Steamed Ginseng Water Concentrat­e is created by drying steamed ginseng in a vacuum and then recovering the vapours through a cooling process. The tedious process reflects Sulwhasoo’s commitment to securing precious ingredient­s,” said Choi.

Featuring three moisturisi­ng agents, the Concentrat­ed Ginseng Renewing Water glides over skin effortless­ly and is said to keep skin firm, moisturise­d and supple.

Meanwhile, the Concentrat­ed Ginseng Renewing Emulsion absorbs into skin with ease to help keep it hydrated for a longer time.

With a lightweigh­t and refreshing finish, the product works best when used together with the Concentrat­ed Ginseng Renewing Water and Concentrat­ed Ginseng Renewing Cream EX.

The refreshing scent of ginseng leaves and flowers of the Concentrat­ed Ginseng Renewing Water and Emulsion form an essential and calming part of your daily beauty ritual.
