My 70-year-old Korean aunt handed me this bottle and said “this is better than your fancy serums.” She was right — and she’s never used a retinol in her life.
The brand dug up a century-old apothecary formula from Jeju Island. Not a marketing story — they literally found the recipe book in a village elder’s attic. That’s the kind of origin story that makes me actually trust the bottle.
It’s $22 for 30ml. A Korean beauty oil that’s somehow cheaper than your lunch. The claim that got me: “absorbs in 8 seconds.”
Rose Hip Base
Not rose water — actual cold-pressed rose hip oil. Smells like a garden, not a candle.
Cica Complex
That’s tiger grass. The same ingredient Dr. Jart+ charges $50 for. Here it’s the second ingredient, not a trace.
Fermentation Twist
They ferment the rose petals first. Makes the molecules smaller — so it actually sinks in instead of sitting on top like a greasy film.

No filler oils. No fragrance chemicals. Just six ingredients that all do something. The ferulic acid is the surprise MVP — it stabilizes everything and makes your sunscreen work harder.
- Rose Hip Oil: deep hydration without clogging pores
- Cica (Centella Asiatica): calms redness overnight
- Ferulic Acid: antioxidant booster for AM use
- Vitamin E: seals moisture barrier

It pours like olive oil but dries down like a dry oil. No joke — 8 seconds and my hand feels bare. I put it on before moisturizer and after toner. The first night I did 4 drops and my skin looked greasy by morning. 2 drops is the magic number. Don’t be greedy.
Week two: my weird chin flakiness just… stopped. Not gone — stopped happening. That’s the cica doing its thing.

Redness down 40%. Pores look smaller because they’re not dehydrated and stretched. My forehead lines didn’t disappear — but they look less like a map and more like… gentle suggestions.

This is the oil for people who think they hate oils. It’s not sexy — it’s effective. And my aunt’s 70-year-old skin is the only review you need.
