Once a day, in the evening. Apply to clean skin on the face and neck, avoiding the eye contour area.

This serum gives a slight tingling sensation on application, linked to the product’s immediate efficacy.


For adults only. Slight skin discomfort may occur. We recommend that you test this product on a small area of your skin. Do not use on fragile or sensitive skin. Avoid contact with eyes. In case of contact, rinse immediately and thoroughly. Discontinue use if irritation persists. This product contains spicules, which may increase your skin’s sensitivity to the sun and particularly the risk of sunburn. Use sunscreen, wear protective clothing, and limit sun exposure while using this product.

What is micro-needling, and how is our serum inspired by it?
Micro-needling is an aesthetic medicine technique that is highly developed in South Korea. It involves creating micro-perforations in skin using fine needles to activate its regeneration. These micro-perforations stimulate skin’s natural repair process to improve skin quality. Inspired by this cutting-edge technique, we have developed micro-infusion technology based on spicules of natural origin, which are like fine micro-needles: they create micro-channels on skin’s surface to stimulate skin regeneration. Our Ginseng Micro Shot serums reproduce the principle of micro-needling on skin but in a gentle, non-invasive way that is suitable for everyday use.


Can I use this product if I have sensitive skin?
In the interests of comfort and tolerance, this serum is not recommended for use on sensitive skin. Ginseng Micro Shot serums have been tested on all skin types. Their tolerance on skin has been rigorously evaluated through various tests carried out by our teams. Formulated with our new high-performance micro-infusion technology, they may cause a temporary tingling sensation on application. This reaction, which is inherent to the product’s performance, is temporary and perfectly normal. However, on skin that is more reactive or prone to redness, this effect may be accentuated.


I feel a tingling sensation on application. Is this normal?
As soon as you apply the serum, you may feel a slight tingling sensation, like micro-stimulation. This sensation is normal and is linked to the efficacy of our micro-infusion technology, which stimulates natural skin regeneration. This sensation diminishes after a few minutes and with repeated use, as your skin gets used to the product. Discontinue use if the feeling of irritation persists.


Can GINSENG MICRO SHOT’s two concentrations be used one after the other?
Our new micro-infusion technology stimulates natural skin regeneration. Using two products with this technology in succession could pose a risk of skin discomfort, dryness, or sensitivity. To ensure that our products are effective and well tolerated, we recommend using just one product from this range at a time, then complete your routine with a skincare cream.


When can I switch from the Starter 0.1% to the Advanced 0.3% concentration?
If your skin is not used to concentrated skincare products such as exfoliants or peels, start with Ginseng Micro Shot Starter 0.1% to give it time to adapt to this new technology’s efficacy. Once your skin has become accustomed to the product and there are no signs of discomfort, you can switch to Ginseng Micro Shot Advanced 0.3% for more concentrated expert skincare.


How can I incorporate Ginseng Micro Shot into my routine?
Apply this serum to clean, dry skin in the evening. It is best to avoid products containing powerful exfoliating active ingredients (AHA, BHA, PHA, retinol, etc.) on the same evening to limit the risk of irritation. In the morning, an SPF product is essential to protect skin. You might also like our Centella Asiatica skincare products, our CENTELLA CRÈME soothing moisturizer, or our CENTELLA BARRIER CREAM.


What is micro-infusion technology and what are spicules?
Micro-infusion is a Korean technology inspired by micro-needling, concentrated in spicules, which are fine natural micro-needles. They create micro-channels on skin’s surface, stimulating cell regeneration. Spicules are gentle on skin and painless: you may feel a slight tingling sensation on application linked to the product’s immediate efficacy, but this fades after a few minutes and diminishes with repeated
use.


Is this product vegan?
No, this product is not vegan. GINSENG MICRO SHOT contains spicules, microscopic needles of natural origin that are at the heart of our skincare to promote skin
renewal. To date, we have not identified a vegan alternative capable of reproducing this unique efficacy.


Is Ginseng Micro Shot suitable for the eye contour area?
The eye contour is a particularly fine and sensitive area of the face, where skin reacts more easily. Our Ginseng Micro Shot serums, which are highly concentrated and feature micro-infusion technology, are not suitable for this delicate area. We recommend avoiding the eye contour area when applying the serum and using skincare specifically formulated for this area, such as our GINSENG POWER EYE smoothing eye cream.
