1899 Single Essence Set

Obsessed with this entire line. If you’re over 50 buy this asap! You will thank me. Trust me I’m 65 and my skin is amazing from using this line!!

I used the DONGINBI 1899 Single Essence, Cleansing Foam and Red Ginseng Extract for one week, and I see a difference in my face and neck. My skin is smoother with less visible lines.The scent is a little strange. It smells like old paper, but I can live with that because the products are so good.

I got this because 1: it was supposed to be a SINGLE INGREDIENT ESSENCE of just ginseng and 2: it was hyped alotThey keep claiming that the only scent is from the ginseng, but if you have used any of Donginbi's products than you know that is NOT the truth. It is heavily perfumed, i guess because people dont like the scent of ginseng. I DO like the scent of ginseng. This smells like a musky perfume and the face wash kinda makes my skin feel dry. Love the consistency of the essence even if it isnt just a single ingredient essence. Its dense and feels very luxurious , the scent burns my face though. If that type of stuff doesnt bother you, maybe try it. I wouldnt though because they actively lie about it having scent/perfume added to it. I can barely used it long enough to even see if it works.

I’ve been using Donginbi products for 3 years and constantly get compliments about my skin and looking younger than my age. This has a very light fragrance and is absorbed quickly.

8/25: still no response about the ingredient discrepancy. Toner made my face red and angry, probably because there's straight up alcohol in it.8/31: checked this again this morning, the ingredient list on this product has now been updated in Amazon listing to match the box I received.

I hate to spend so much on something, especially when I'm not sure what it's doing (if anything!) but my sensitive skin loves this stuff. It's hard for me to use it daily because of the cost, but I do sometimes anyway. I always use it after I exfoliate because it just calms and comforts my skin. I only buy it when it's on sale

I think they changed the formula in 2023 and it’s trash. I bought about 8 bottles of the old formula. Then they changed it and the new formula reeks of perfume and burns my skin. And I don’t have sensitive skin.

This is my favorite essence that have repurchased couples of time. I love the fragrance of ginseng and it’s very hydrating. I Wish this essence has individual package rather than in a set. I feel bad that only used the essence and leave out the cleanser.😹
