Product Feature: ENS Jin Jung Sung Soothing Moisture Skin Essence

Jin Jung Sung means integrity, authenticity and sincerity in Korean. Just with the name itself, this brand focuses on producing not just good – but superior quality products for its consumers.

The ingredient list of this essence is pretty lengthy BUT it is jam packed full of the things that I look for from a good skincare product. Here are a few of the notable ingredient that caught my attention:

1. Niacinamide – Helps manage acne, pigmentation issues and wrinkles

2. Glycerin, Meadow Foam Seed Oil, Apricot Kernel Oil, Botanical Aqualene, Beeswax, Sodium Hyaluronate, Shea Butter, Ceramide-3 and Allantoin – all of these works as great moisturizing agents.

3. Adenosine – Skin restoring agent. It works to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles making it look smoother and younger.

Here is the full ingredients list:

purified water, butylene glycol, 1,2-hexanediol, niacinamide, hydrolyzed collagen, beta-glucan, hydrogenated lecithin, sodium hyaluronate, glycyrrhiza glabra (licorice) root extract, sesamum indicum seed extract, angelica root extract, deoxynojirimycin, phellinus extract, paeony root extract, polygonum multiflorum root extract, scutellaria baicalensis root extract, sophora flavescens root extract, cimicifuga racemosa root extract, glycine, leucine, alanine, lysine, arginine, tyrosine, phenylalanine, valine, threonine, proline, isoleucine, histidine, methionine, cysteine, ficus carica (fig) fruit extract, pomegranate extract, morus alba fruit extract, ginkgo seed extract, undaria pinnatifida extract, laminaria digitata extract, ceramide np, acetyl hexapeptide-8, glycerin, glutamic acid, aspartic acid, caprylic/capric tryglyceride, propanediol, glycereth-25 pca isostearate, polyglyceryl-10 laurate, octyldodecanol, caprylyl glycol, polyglyceryl-10 olivate, carbomer, tromethamine, ethylhexylglycerin, adenosine, disodium edta, fragrance

The packaging is very simple, clean and beautiful. The bottle is made of frosted glass and it is quite heavy. It is also sealed well and the expiration date of the product is stamped on the bottom of the bottle.

The essence is clear, thick and slightly viscous. It contains fragrance and the scent is a mix of fruity florals. It is a bit sweet smelling for my liking and it lingers for a few minutes before it completely disappears. Skin absorption is fast and quick, no stickiness or greasiness left on the surface of the skin. It dries to a soft silky finish.

I am a bit picky when it comes to scented and fragrance laden skincare products. I do not mind scents as long as it is not overbearing to the senses. Although this essence has it, it is mild and it is something that I can forego. Also, most of the time, fragrance causes my skin to dry but in this case, it did not – perhaps because of the combination of moisturizing ingredients that it contains.

I find that this essence gives my skin and extra layer of moisture without over-doing it. I also discovered that it is a good go-to “moisturizer” when the weather is unforgivingly hot! Since it is summer now, I just apply this essence and top it with sunscreen then I am good to go! No icky feeling of layering too much product.
