Common questions

Is Beauty of Joseon Ginseng Moist Sun Serum fragrance-free?

No added fragrance (parfum) is listed, but it contains essential oils (amyris balsamifera bark oil, amara (bitter orange) leaf and jasminum officinale (jasmine) oil), which give it a scent and are a common cause of irritation.

Does Beauty of Joseon Ginseng Moist Sun Serum contain alcohol?

Yes. Alcohol, a drying alcohol, is the 7th of 47 ingredients, high enough to be a main ingredient. It makes products feel light and dry quickly, but can dry out or irritate sensitive skin.

Is Beauty of Joseon Ginseng Moist Sun Serum safe for fungal acne?

It contains 3 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: plant oils & butters (olea europaea (olive) fruit oil, angelica archangelica root oil, ferula galbaniflua (galbanum) resin oil). How much they matter depends on the amount and the rest of the formula. The evidence comes mainly from lab studies of yeast growth, and fungal acne needs a diagnosis from a GP or dermatologist.
