Erborian - My Perfect Routine with Ginseng Gift Set

One of the brands I have really loved getting to know over the last few years is Erborian and if you click on the K-Beauty section of my blog, you will see just how much I like the brand.  This holiday season, Erborian has handed over the reins to an incredible Tattoo Artist, Sasha Unisex.  Sasha draws inspiration for designs from nature and uses water-coloured tones to create some of the most vibrant, lavish and poetic tattoos. It is said that Sashas style is world-renowned and recognised.

This Christmas, Erborian has a whole host of gift sets on offer and each and every single one is just fantastic, with prices ranging from £18 right up to £80 and if you have never tried anything from Erborian before, this is a great way to try the products.  
Erborian - My Perfect Routine with Ginseng Gift Set
I was kindly sent the 'My Perfect Routine with Ginseng' (£50 but worth £69.90). Ginseng is quite the ingredient to be used to Erborian and it is said that for over 2,000 years, Ginseng Root has been part of the traditional South Korean pharmacopoeia. Requiring lots of love and care, Ginseng takes 4-6 years to reach maturity before it can be harvested. After harvesting this prized root, it goes through a steam distillation process stabilising the many rich compounds. Ginseng gathers so active ingredients that it takes nearly 15 years for the soil to be suitable again for suitable cultivation.
Erborian - My Perfect Routine with Ginseng Gift Set
This is a Limited Edition Box which features five products from the range and they include:
  • EAU GINSENG 30ml - One of the first products I ever used from Erborian, this Eau Ginseng Lotion is inspired by Korean skincare routines and is described as being a product which helps to make your complexion glow whilst immediately hydrating skin and providing a feeling of comfort. Incredibly hydrating and an easy step to add to your skincare routine. Full review here.
  • GINSENG INFUSION 5ml - Described as being a tensor effect day cream enriched with natural ginseng extract for a plumped, radiant and soft complexion. Infused with ginseng, this cream helps the skin to look and feel firmer, not only is it hydrating but this cream also works to nourish the complexion beyond its surface. This cream is really lightweight on the skin, it isn't greasy or tacky and what I really like is just how hydrating it is.
  • GINSENG EYE PATCH 5g - I am a huge fan of eye-patches and find them really relaxing to use. From Erborian, these patches are described as being steeped in a tincture of ginseng root, these masks are said to plump up the delicate skin around the eyes, helping to reduce the appearance of crow’s feet and fine lines, while glycerine delivers a dose of hydration. Silica power acts to mattify any oily patches while extracts of tara fruit and red seaweed boost suppleness. On the skin, these patches are so soothing and are ideal for giving you at least 15 minutes of downtime as they work their magic. Once removed, any leftover product should be gently patted onto the skin until it is fully absorbed.
  • BB CRÈME CLAIR 45ml - With its SPF20 UV Protection, this product is described as being the beauty essential which is a smart combination of skincare and makeup. On the skin, it melts almost instantly on contact and as it does, it also moisturises and helps to even out and mattify the complexion while giving a non-oily, velvety finish. This Ginseng BB Cream is available in four shades, from the lightest to the darkest: Clair, Nude, Doré and Caramel.
  • CC CRÈME CLAIR 15ml - The formula is enriched with SPF 25 and is described as being a multi-purpose formula which has an ultra-fine texture, contains pigments to enhance your skin's appearance while enriching and improving its texture and quality. When applied to the skin, this cream appears white, but upon application, it adapts precisely to match your skin tone which then gives a more even complexion, leaving skin luminous and soft as well as a reduction in the appearance of blemishes. I personally prefer the CC cream to the BB cream on my skin, but both products do exactly what you want them too.
If you have never used a product from Erborian, then sets like this are a great introduction to the brand and a really nice way of getting to know some of the hero products from the range. Ginseng is a fascinating ingredient and one which my skin absolutely laps up whenever I use it, especially within the Ginseng Infusion, which I use when my skin is feeling really parched.
