Here's my review of the Innisfree Jeju Sparkling Mineral Essence. First off, the packaging is a regular bottle with a summery ocean-blue color that really captures the season's vibe. With the heat already kicking in, I was eager to give this a try. Initially, I was a bit concerned about potential irritation due to the 'sparkling' in its name, but I've been pleasantly surprised. It's been so good that I've been using it consistently and seeing some lovely improvements in my skin. The application process is simple - after cleansing and toning, you apply this essence. I love that it has a lighter texture compared to most moisturizers. Apparently, it contains carbonated spring water from Jeju Island. As someone who enjoys drinking sparkling water, it's great to now be applying it to my skin too! Interestingly, when you pump it out, it comes out like a mousse. As you pat it into your skin, it absorbs well, leaving a wonderfully hydrated feeling.
The only downside is that the bottle cap can be a bit tricky to open and close. I sometimes fumble with it, and even though it's plastic, I occasionally worry about accidentally breaking it.
I'd recommend this to anyone who finds moisturizers too heavy in the sweltering summer heat, or those looking for something even lighter than a typical essence.
