ONEOSEVEN is a Korean skincare brand with a very compelling story. It all began at a large fermented vinegar brewery in Korea called Hanega. Okran Chung is a pharmacist that runs this brewery. She wanted to harvest the power of the fermented vinegar to help improve skin and prevent the signs of aging.

The ONEOSEVEN brand uses Hanega’s 100% naturally fermented vinegar in their products. The name of the brand comes from the fact that the company has 107 different hanbang (traditional Korean medicinal practice using herbal remedies) formulas that have been in the company for 35 generations. Over the years, these formulas have been used for medicinal purposes, food recipes, skincare, and body care.

The company believes in philanthropy and is working closely with UHIC to help children in Tanzania. ONEOSEVEN is a family owned company with admirable sense of integrity, as well as exquisiteness that is apparent when you try their products. The packaging and styling of their products are just gorgeous and very much appreciated by skincare aficionados like myself!
This cotton fiber sheetmask is superb for soothing, hydrating, plumping and giving skin that dewy glow. The sheetmask is drenched in a lightly fragranced clear essence that can stay moist for up to an hour or more if left on the face. I highly recommend this sheetmask! It comes in a box of 8 and is recommended that it be used on consecutive days for best results. Key ingredients include niacinamide, panthenol, snail secretion filtrate, propolis extract, willow bark extract, pearl extract, and anise fruit extract.
This formula uses 5 year naturally aged vinegar. This essence comes in a gorgeous tall spray bottle. The spray is forceful but applies evenly. I like to spray it directly onto my face before my toner has dried. You can also apply it into your palm and then pat onto your face. It hydrates and softens my skin nicely and absorbs very quickly. It has a light floral/perfume fragrance. Key ingredients include aspergillus/saccharomyces/rice ferment filtrate (antiaging), arbutin (brightening), vinegar (anti aging), adenosine, lactobacillus/soymild ferment filtrate, and safflower extract.
This is absolutely exquisite. It claims to tighten and brighten skin. It’s a light lotion in a tall pump bottle that dispenses as a silky luxurious white cream. It has a very light pleasant feminine fragrance. It applies beautifully, sinks in immediately without any stickiness or greasiness. It is amazingly hydrating firming and lifting, and would suit all skin types. It’s a superstar in my opinion and my favorite product from the brand. Key ingredients include squalane, arbutin, tocopheryl acetate, rosa canina seed extract, retinyl palmitate, scuterllaria baicalensis root extract, hibiscus extract, panthenol, adenosine, and vinegar.
This cream has a very impressive ingredient list. It’s a somewhat heavy yet super hydrating white cream that holds moisture in your skin for 12+ hours. It is can be used morning and night. In the mornings my skin appears smooth, hydrated, and healthy. It takes a couple of minutes to absorb but once it does, the moisture is definitely locked in. Key ingredients include sunflower seed oil, squalane, niacinamide, fermented vinegar, red ginseng, pomegranate, soy milk, jojoba seed oil, adenosine, sodium hyaluronate, and vinegar.
If you are curious about what naturally fermented vinegar can do for your skin, I encourage you to take a dip into hanbang tradition of wellbeing, health, and harmony with ONEOSEVEN!
