I love experimenting with new skincare products. There's always a new launch or innovation to play with. When I started working at Sephora at Kohl's, there were several brands I wasn't familiar with. One of them being Korean skincare brand, Innisfree. There has been a recent craze when it comes to "K-Beauty." This is due in part to most Korean products being made with natural ingredients vs. American products which can have artificial ingredients. Usually, natural ingredients get along better with the skin and tend to cause less irritation. I was initially drawn to this brand because it was very inexpensive (which is rare at Sephora). Several customers had raved to me about how well their line performs. So, when I ran out of my tried and true Kiehl's cleanser, I was ready to try something new. Based on my skin type, the green tea cleanser seemed to be the best fit. This face wash is made withe Jeju Island Green Tea Water which claims to deliver antioxidants and amino rich hydration. It is formulated without harsh chemicals like; parabens, mineral oils, and synthetic colors. I honestly was expecting this to be a game changer, but it felt like a basic drugstore cleanser. To begin, it foamed much more than I anticipated. Almost to the point where it felt a bit like I was suffocating. Second, after rinsing my felt stripped and somewhat dry. A product that claims to be great for dry, sensitive skin should not have this effect. Although it didn't irritate my skin or seem to make it worse, I don't think I'll be repurchasing this product. In my opinion, the drugstore has better for the same price. Or, if you do prefer a clean brand, it's worth it to spend a bit more. Overall, this cleanser was just average. I think I'll stick to my Kiehl's from now on.
