The Beauty of Joseon repair serum caught my eye when I saw snail mucin on the bottle. I am a big fan of snail mucin skincare as someone with dry skin and post acne marks. This Korean brand emphasizes traditional skincare from the Joseon dynasty. I couldn’t wait to try this serum because of it’s eye catching color and stellar rating! Let’s get into today’s review:
The Beauty of Joseon repair serum has a very lightweight consistency that absorbs quickly into the skin. This serum evens the skin’s complexion with snail mucin and plumps it with rich antioxidants from ginseng. Ginseng which naturally gives it a reddish-orange color.
Since I have naturally dry skin, I like using the repair serum with the Cosrx advanced snail 96 mucin essence to plump my skin with hydration before moisturizing. Like I said, the repair serum is very lightweight so it isn’t very hydrating, but the complexion benefits are worth using an additional hydrating product.
This serum can be used morning and night, but I enjoyed using this serum at nighttime with the snail essence since I’m using a vitamin C serum in the morning.
The repair serum has no detectable scent unlike other ginseng products I’ve tried in the past. Ginseng has a very strong earthy smell so I’m impressed this serum doesn’t have a smell. If you are sensitive to fragrance or scent, this serum would be great for you because there’s no fragrance in the formulation.
Ginseng- rich with antioxidants preventing pollution damage; plumps the skin to reduce the appearance of wrinkles
Snail mucin- evens skin tone, reduces hyperpigmentation, and hydrates
The Beauty of Joseon repair serum retails for just $17! This serum is such a steal for such an incredible price. So budget friendly and effective! This serum can be purchased from Soko Glam or directly from the brand on their website.
I adore the simple and natural packaging of the repair serum. I did not experience any leakage or issues with the bottle. The last bit of product is difficult to reach with the dropper, but I just tipped the bottle over to get the last bits out with no problems. I also really like the clear bottle so I can see how much serum is left!
Overall, I adored the Beauty of Joseon serum. I noticed a more even complexion and I love the gentle formula. This serum was a great addition to my skincare routine as a repairing serum. I would recommend it for all skin types because it is so lightweight and non-irritating. Between the price and the amazing formula, I will definitely repurchase the repair serum in the future. Beauty of Joseon also makes a glow serum and a calming serum. I’m itching to try the glow serum because it’s formulated with propolis and niacinamide which sounds like an amazing combo for my dry, acne prone skin.

You would love it! It’s such a great formula. I think it could be more hydrating, but I don’t mind using it with other hydrating products since I need all the hydration I can get anyways haha.
