Description
Description
This hydrating balancer functions as a toner-like step in The History of Whoo's Gongjinhyang Vital line, designed to deliver immediate moisture and a refreshing sensation after cleansing. Formulated with a thoughtful lineup of ginseng and herbal extracts—such as Panax Ginseng Root Extract, Ophiopogon Japonicus Root Extract, and Rehmannia Glutinosa Root Extract—it nourishes the skin while helping to improve texture and hydration. The balanced texture absorbs quickly, preparing the complexion for serums and moisturizers, and the inclusion of fermented and fruit/root extracts adds antioxidant and conditioning benefits. Suitable for skin that needs a hydrating, soothing boost without a heavy finish.

Sunscreen & SPF Products in Canada
Unfortunately due to regulations by Health Canada we are unable to offer any Korean sunscreen or SPF products to Canadian customers.
We are working with Health Canada to obtain Federal approval for these items, but it's a lengthy process.

Why does my product look different from the photos on your site?
Why does my product look different from the photos on your site?
Korean beauty brands update their formulas and packaging regularly - sometimes several times a year - and these changes often happen faster than we can update every listing. We do our best to keep product pages current, but what you receive may have a newer formulation or updated packaging. The core product and its function remain the same. If you'd like to verify what's currently in stock before ordering, reach out to us at info@kbeauti.ca and we'll confirm for you.
