  Pros

  I trusted the staff's advice to use this as the first step in my skincare routine for better absorption, and they were absolutely right! It's fantastic and I'm so glad I tried it.

  Cons

  The price is a bit on the higher side, which is disappointing. Also, it's challenging to use the product at the bottom of the container.

  Pros

  I've used at least 10 bottles over the last 7 years! This is exactly the serum where you don't realize its effectiveness while using it, but you certainly notice when you stop. First off, it's so hydrating! It's not just about moisture - it has the perfect balance of hydration and richness. When I apply it as the first step after cleansing, I can feel my skin drinking it up! The texture is just right - not too watery and not too sticky. It's that perfect in-between consistency. It's meant to be applied as the first step after cleansing, and it absorbs well. What's more, it enhances the absorption of other products you apply afterwards.

  Cons

  Everything else is great, but I'm not a fan of the cap... I wonder why they haven't changed it? It would have been even better without the alcohol ingredient.

  Tip

  I keep it in the bathroom and apply it right after cleansing. By the time I get to my room, there's absolutely no feeling of dryness.

  Pros

  Innisfree's signature serum is moisturizing and absorbs well. Regarding blemishes, I haven't experienced any breakouts from using this. Key benefits and features: I usually don't use the same skincare products consecutively and like to try various options. However, whenever I'm too lazy to find new products, I often repurchase this one. It's quite popular, and I find it works well for me. Innisfree has researched 3301 types of green tea trees, and they've used a variety specifically known for hydration. The serum can penetrate up to 10 layers of dead skin cells, making it excellent for those looking to improve dry, flaky skin! My brief skincare routine: In the morning, I pump the serum twice and add a drop of oil since I have extremely dehydrated skin. I skip the emulsion and apply a generous amount of moisturizer (Tony Moly The Chok Chok Green Tea Gel Cream). If you have a similar skin type and struggle with deep dryness, you might want to give this routine a try!

  Cons

  It does contain fragrance, which is considered a potentially harmful ingredient. For reference, the ethanol in this product is naturally derived from the fermentation of grains. Personally, I didn't find it particularly irritating!

  Tip

  I purchased the eco-friendly version, which uses 50% less plastic than the original packaging. There was a promotional event, so I received an eco-bag too, but it looks a bit bulky, so I haven't used it yet. I'm thrilled to see more products reducing plastic usage. As someone who cares deeply about the environment, I encourage everyone to use eco-friendly products.

  Pros

  As someone with extremely dry skin, I started using this product and was amazed at how well it absorbs, probably due to its ultra-fine particles. My dry skin improved quickly. I've used over 10 bottles recently, and when I briefly stopped using it, my skin became dehydrated again. So this time, I bought the larger version that combines two formulas. Using it together with the cream in the side photo enhances the effects.

  Cons

  To be honest, I can't really think of any downsides. I suppose I should mention that using this alone won't completely solve dry skin issues.

  Tip

  Here's a tip a staff member shared with me: After cleansing, pat your face until it's just damp, not dripping. Then apply the serum and gently pat it in while your skin is still slightly moist!

  Pros

  I bought this famous product during the Innisfree sale, paying only for shipping to try the small size of the Green Tea Seed Serum. I was so impressed that I repurchased the larger size. There's definitely a reason for its popularity! Overall, it absorbs quickly, leaves a fresh finish, and I find myself reaching for it often. ⭐Skin Type⭐ - Combination, sensitive, gradually becoming dry - Oily T-zone and butterfly zone - Mild redness on cheeks with deep dryness - Itchiness due to dryness - Occasional stinging or redness with incompatible products - Rarely get blemishes, maybe once a month - Not many large pores - Slight dark spots 👍Product Preferences I prefer non-sticky, fresh products with good absorption. While I usually avoid heavy oils due to my naturally oily skin, I do use richer products for night care. I've been using this as my skin transitions to drier, especially with air conditioning and fans in hot weather, plus mask-related irritation. The serum's texture is like a light essence - not heavy at all. It absorbs incredibly fast, possibly aided by the alcohol content which may contribute to its quick evaporation. The hydration isn't intense, but it seems to boost the effectiveness of subsequent products. It creates a nice base, helping other serums and creams absorb better without pilling. There's no stickiness even with two layers. It leaves a subtle glow but isn't oily at all. While it doesn't provide intense moisture, it does leave the skin feeling fresh. The scent is mild, with a hint of green tea. It didn't irritate my sensitive skin or cause any blemishes. Overall, I'm satisfied using this as a boosting product for my other skincare steps. Its fantastic absorption is its standout feature.

  Cons

  While there's nothing particularly disappointing, I noticed the alcohol is quite high on the ingredients list.

  Tip

  My current routine is: Under Ten - Green Tea Serum - Dajayeon Houttuynia Cordata Serum - Bear Cream Since my skin needs soothing, I use the Houttuynia Cordata serum after the Green Tea Serum for extra calming effects. I've noticed better soothing results since incorporating the Green Tea Seed Serum. On particularly dry days, I mist between each step for extra hydration.
