The Art of Korean Red Ginseng Skincare

Donginbi is a premium Korean skincare brand dedicated to the art of red ginseng beauty, combining over a century of heritage with modern skincare science. Our name means "the secret of beauty passed among people" (彤人秘), reflecting our mission to share transforming skincare with the world.

Donginbi uniquely combines traditional Korean beauty wisdom with modern skincare science, using proprietary red ginseng formulations developed through over a century of research and refinement. We cultivate our own ginseng through a careful 6-year process and use advanced extraction methods to preserve the potent ginsenosides.

Red ginseng contains ginsenosides—powerful bioactive compounds that help improve skin elasticity, provide antioxidant protection against environmental stressors, support skin barrier function, and promote a healthy, radiant complexion. Our formulations maximize these benefits through advanced extraction technology.

Yes, Donginbi products are formulated with gentle ingredients and undergo rigorous testing for safety and efficacy. However, as with any new skincare product, we recommend patch testing first. If you have specific concerns, consult with a dermatologist before incorporating new products into your routine.

The Daily Defense Essence is designed for firming and skin barrier repair. It's ideal for dry skin types seeking hydration and anti-aging benefits. Use it after cleansing and toning, both morning and evening, to deliver concentrated red ginseng benefits to your skin.

After cleansing and toning, apply the Essence (2-3 drops), followed by serums and moisturizers. Our products can be used morning and evening. For best results, consistency is key—use products regularly as part of your daily skincare ritual.
