New: Sulwhasoo 100% Ginseng Seed Oil

~Sulwhasoo 100% Ginseng Seed Oil~


Sulwhasoo Ginseng Seed Oil is produced as the world's first 100% Ginseng Oil which contains essential vitamins, omega 3 and omega-6 and nutrients that repair damaged skin.
  • The History of Whoo boasts the same product - their Ginseng Ampoule Oil, however, it only contains 54.42% Wild Ginseng Oil, while Sulwhasoo's is 100% Ginseng Oil (extracted from the seeds).

Many of you are not aware but in South Korea, Sulwhasoo usually has celebrations in regards to their achievements and dedication to their customers. So this may have been a limited edition product - since it has never been released! Letting you all know that if you guys happen to see this, grab it! Ginseng has many nutrients that can help repair the skin, and I've seen wonders done by just using Sulwhasoo's Concentrated Ginseng Cream (my miracle product), and let alone ginseng oil: its a steal - especially if its 100% haha :)!

This is comprised of ionized air, water and stabilized nano platinum to work as an excellent anti-aging moisturizing herbal product. In addition to supply oxygen for the skin, which will reveal bright and clear skin. Used everyday, you will be awakened to bright skin tone every time.

I would like to announce that there is a NEW PRODUCT included in the Soo Yeon line!!! This product has JUST been launched! Its a great go-to when your skin is feeling dehydrated, or serves as a freshner in those humid temperatures! If you incorporate this in your skin care regime, this would be the step AFTER toner - but it can be used throughout the day. The Soo Yeon line (water-based) is great for keeping skin well hydrated and moist - recommended for ages in the early to mid 20's! :)

Review: The History of Whoo Gongjinhyang Nok-Yong Pack

~~The History of Whoo Nok-Yong Pack~~


The History of Whoo Nok-Yong pack only contains two potent ingredients – Velvet Deer Antler Extract and Royal Jelly Extract. Nok Yong translates to Velvet Deer Antlers, hence, the main ingredient only being that. This is a warming/moisturizing pack – what it does is when this pack is applied to the face, it immediately warms up and sooths the skin: making skin moist, hydrated, and glowing.


Description: Extracts from young antlers of deer in the pack vitalizes healthy skin tone and restores translucent glow of beautiful skin. Scoop out a small amount on the palm and evenly spread it out throughout the face. This facial mask uses a unique combination of ingredients to provide you with a natural skin care product perfect for rejuvenating skin cells and enhancing your overall natural glow. By stimulating blood circulation, you are left with a soft, glossy and shimmering effect.

Potent Ingredients:
~Velvet Deer Antler (Nok-Yong)~


~Royal Jelly~


Ingredients:

Directions/Usage: Cleanse the face well. Squeeze out some of the product and gently apply it to your face. Softly massage the area, leaving a thick layer of the product. Once complete, wait 10 minutes. Rinse face with warm water first, then with lukewarm water.


Review: I absolutely love this pack because it is MOISTURE-RICH! At first, you may be shocked at how rich this product is – but it has definitely done wonders to my skin. This pack is recommended for drier skin types. I have normal skin, and found that it is fine. As for oilier skin types, this may cause some milia – so it is best advised you don’t use this product (unless you test it out first!!!). Velvet Deer Antlers is one of the main medicinal ingredients used in all of The History of Whoo products – it is heavily concentrated in the famous Hwanyugo line. This ingredient helps with blood circulation, collagen synthesis, metabolism, and providing oxygen to the skin – therefore, skin becomes stronger and resilient (youthful). The other main ingredient is Royal Jelly – this helps with deep moisturizing and hydrating the skin to make it plump. 

The colour of this product is grayish-brownish – and the scent is floral/herbal – it is VERY soothing, which I love! At first, I found it hard to work with. The reason being is because it is rather thick, and does not spread easily – what I figured out was you REALLY NEED to warm it between your fingers, and then apply it to your face. There is a special technique, which I have provided above, to use this product. You need to circulate the blood on your skin and massage thoroughly – don’t worry though, once the pack is warmed up (you will also feel the warming of the product on the skin, its wonderful!), it is really easy to massage the face without tugging and pulling!!! After your done massaging, relax your face for ten minutes or more if you wish, and wash with lukewarm water and start your regular skin care routine :). After having my face washed, my skin was ultra smooth and soft. It did not leave ANY RESIDUE whatsoever - but glowing skin. This pack should be used at least once or twice a week, depending on how much hydration you need!!! I highly recommend this product for those with dry/dehydrated skin, need extra moisture, or those who wish to treat themselves hehe! :)

Has anyone had success with this pack? All experiences are welcome! :)
