| Verdict | I'm From's brand-defining serum — 7.98% six-year-old red ginseng sap from Geumsan County (Korea's heartland of ginseng cultivation), processed minimally to preserve the saponins, polysaccharides, and antioxidants that make ginseng one of the few traditional Korean ingredients with serious modern dermatology backing. The brand's whole transparency philosophy is on display here: they list the farm, the harvest year, the extract concentration. The serum genuinely improves elasticity and skin energy over 6-8 weeks of consistent use — not flashy, but the kind of slow improvement that builds compound interest in your skin. | iUNIK signature product and one of the best-kept secrets in sensitive-skin K-beauty. 70% beta-glucan — a powerhouse humectant and soothing agent — combined with a minimalist supporting cast. The result is a serum that hydrates like hyaluronic acid but also calms reactive skin the way centella does. Cult favorite for a reason. |
