The Oldest Korean Anti Aging Skincare Secret: The Power of Korean Ginseng

[@joannewang86]

I was really curious about the History of Whoo Jinyulhyang Revitalizing Essence after you mentioned it made you less puffy... I bought it and the Balancer from the same line and OMG! It works! My skin has been less sallow/dull and even less bloated the mornings after I use it. What black magic is this?! I appreciate you introducing these gems, there's really not much information about it in the West.

[@OdileMonodTheMonodist]

So glad to hear it worked for you! I had the same reaction the first time I tried the line, I don't understand how it works, but it’s simply magic 😂

[@Miumiu0404]

The amount of research and information you provide is so outstanding 👏

[@OdileMonodTheMonodist]

❤️🙏 Thank you!! It means a lot to me to know that there's an audience interested in this type of in-depth content on Korean beauty.

[@sylnalise2242]

I have been using Donginbi red ginseng moisture and firming line since I found your video about it six months ago and I love it, my skin is clear, my blemishes gone and my fines lines are also disappearing slowly, I never believed in spending lots of money on skincare but this brand I am sold. I caught poison ivy on my face three times this summer and it did some damages but it seems to have help so much!!! The smell of ginseng in the toner is just so refreshing in the morning. I tried cheaper brands and does not compare. I am 45 with combination skin towards oily. Thank you for your videos

[@OdileMonodTheMonodist]

Thank you! I'm glad to hear it lived up to expectations. I felt the same about high end skincare when I was younger, but now I'm at a stage of my life when I would rather buy less but better, so when I introduce more expensive products on my channel I try to focus more on why I found them to be worth the price tag rather than just recommending then just for the sake of recommending something I like.

[@haugustyn4865]

Can you please tell me where you bought this wonderful line of products ?🤔

[@PB-wh1iw]

Is this better than beauty of jhoson ginseng

[@k.huelle]

What a gorgeous video! A masterclass in ginseng 😍 One of the really interesting things I've found is that since I've added products (1899, Power Repair & Concentrated Renewing) from these three brands my super sensitive and dry skin has become nearly problem free. Thank you Odile!

[@OdileMonodTheMonodist]

So, so glad to hear they lived up to expectations ❤️ Thank you always for the constant support, I really appreciate it 🙏

[@valentinaci7888]

I just finished the Seolhwasoo rescue ampoule, I didn't have expectations, but I don't think I am immagining, not now 2 months after I gave birth and I barely sleep, I am always stressed and grumpy with a newborn amd a toddler..My skin should look awful but why does it look so good? Plumper, more hidrated, brighter.. I incline to believe this rescue ampoule really did something for my skin. It is expensive,but lately, thanks to you, I started buying less, and focus more on quality products. And it's always worth it. I never regret spending this much, because I see results. I haven't tried the 진율향 products yet, but I can't wait. Thank you!

I ordered the Donginbi essence for myself for xmas. It was 50% off on Amazon. Super excited to try it. Also ordered their daily defense serum and cream along with the power repair softener and emulsion. I previously used the Sulwhasoo Concentrated ginseng line with good results but I am able to find Donginbi products at much better prices so I am trying them out.

Such an informative video Odile! Thank you so much for sharing all your knowledge with us, it is super appreciated. As someone with dry/sensitive skin who is entering her 30s, I am tip-toeing into the Hanbang skincare world. But I have been so impressed with what I have tried so far from Sulwhasoo. It made my skin incredibly resilient and because of that I could really beneficiate from the other steps of my routine even more. It really empowered everything else I could put on my skin.

Hello......Thank you so much for your informed video's. I luckily fell in to using Sulwhasoo as my starter in Korean Skin Care. I think I would have been devastated if I had picked something else. But I do admit it was pretty arbitrary. Now with your helpful videos I have learned so much about Korean skin care that I feel confident to branch out to other luxury lines. I am sorry to say that there are many on You Tube with no knowledge just recommending product. I am anxious for you to resume producing more video. Thank you again for the treasure trove of information. PS at 73 my skin has improved so much in the 4 months using Sulwhasoo.

What is the other Sulwhasoo product that you like from the ginseng line? I thought you said you recommend two but only mentioned the ampoule. 😀

The other serum is called Concentrated Ginseng Renewing Serum, it's a lot heavier than the Rescue Ampoule and it's more similar to Whoo's Jinyul Intensive Revitilizing Essence 😊

[@sammili6960]

Odile, really good video om ginseng. I would like to know in your opinion, is sulwhasoo as a brand worthed to buy for antiaging and firming? I couldn’t find the donginbi 1899 essence in store in Australia. I would like to try first since my skin can be sensitive sometimes. I only see the sulwhasoo concentrated ginseng serum at sephora here and like the smell of subtle ginseng. I couldn’t find the concentrated rescue ampoule. Is the concentrated ginseng serum as good as the concentrated ginseng ampoule? I really like your videos information. Also, do you mix n match skincare products or you use a single line? Which is better?

[@TheRealBZ]

Hey! I'm a new subscriber that to happened to stumble across your content and I have been loving all the videos! Its very informative. I'm curious about your take on notion of Western vs Eastern skincare for anti-aging. When it comes to reducing fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots, do you think investing in mainstream retinol products from brands like Paula’s Choice, COSRX and Some By Mi are more effective than going for Traditional Korean Hanbang options? Specifically, I'm wondering if splurging on premium panex ginseng brands like Sulwhasoo, Donginbi and The History of Whoo justifies the higher price for better results. What's your perspective on this 🙂?

Your point being? This is a channel on Korean Beauty from the perspective of someone who has been working in the industry for over 10 years, speaks the language and receives regular training on domestic regulations. Are you perhaps assuming that the average Korean person is naturally familiar with cosmetic industry laws and regulations of their country just because they're Korean? I never claimed to be Korean.

No, the opposite actually! It's considered a stimulant, people usually take it in the morning or when they're feeling particularly weak. It's not recommended to take it before bedtime and you should start with a low concentration because the body takes time to adjust and you might experience some side effects at first.

[@OdileMonodTheMonodist]

I'm familiar with what happened to Roy Shaw, but that's not the standard effect associated with Ginseng, it’s one of the side effects I was talking about in my previous comment. Individuals with some pre-existing conditions (usually high blood pressure or any sort of cardiovascular disease) are usually advised to only consume ginseng in small quantities because it stimulates the nervous system as well as increase blood flow, so if these individuals were to consume too much ginseng they would feel nauseous and dizzy, which is why I was recommending to start with a low dosage in my previous comment.
