Are “Korean Traditional Herb Skincare Products “effective?
Traditional Herb Skincare products are always the most popular selling items on the shelf. Before I came to Seoul, I heard several of my friends either from China or Singapore was talking about that. Good or bad, I have no idea at that time.
Recently my essence was running out, so I decided to buy Korean traditional herb skincare product as a try-out. Sulwhasoo was the first brand that came into my mind. As I saw some online feedback from some Korean websites, a lot of users gave very good comments for this brand, which give me the confidence to have a try. Asians believes that achieving a harmonization between the “Yin” and “Yang” is the key to maintain healthy skin, which is the philosophy most Korean traditional skincare products followed.
Product Name: 윤조(润燥)에 센스. The Korean word “윤조” means “moisturize”.
The texture of the brown color essence is very light and watery, it absorbs very fast once it touched my skin, The Chinese Herb smell is very light and refreshing. After two weeks, I can see a great improvement for my skin complexion and even some of the pigmentation have been lightened. I think this product is very suitable to my skin and I want to try more products of this brand.
After checking the instructions of the products I found the following major ingredients, which are the key attributes. As the article I read before, here is some info’s that I want to share.
