[UPDATE]Donginbi? Anyone try this brand?

Update: so I ordered these products plus an updated serum and the smell was so overwhelming I had to return them. After getting everyones feedback and watching some YouTube reviews I decide to order them and I am very let down. Some people mentioned that there was a slight scent from the ginseng but I have used multiple ginseng products nothing compared with this strong of a scent. It almost smelt as if it had parfume quality to it and not just a natural ingredients. Not sure if anyone was interested but thought I would give an update anyway in case someone like me looks for this Brand in the future. I’m just so shocked because apparently this brand is supposed to be the number one brand in Korea that’s known for its amazing ginseng quality and not even using any ginseng less than six years old in their products.(found this out from reviews). Original post: I am looking to see if anyone has tried this brand and products. I found some products in the Picky database but no reviews except on the essence. I am interested in these three products. They are 40% off right now and are quite reasonable to buy at that price but wanted to see if it was worth buying even on sale. It is part of Prime Day deals so really interested. Thanks!

Thanks for the update so I know to stay away. I cannot do strong smells in skincare at all.

The products I tagged do have some earthy scent to it, but I am not concern with it. In my culture, consuming ginseng(or other herbs) is quite common, perhaps I tolerated the scent unconsciously😅 When I watched their promo video awhile back, I saw their process of planting to extracting ginseng. The brand produces if not the best ginseng products. Many other ginseng products (like I'm from ginseng mask and Beauty of joseon serum) do not use as high concentration and quality as donginbi. But I would like to apologize if my recommendation had caused your experience to be an unenjoyable one.
