First impressions, claims, and packaging

This ombre green bottle contains green tea-based hydrating ingredients.
I"ve heard good things about innisfree"s bestselling Green Tea Seed Serum, and the new and improved version truly piqued my interest. The hydrating blend is now infused with Green Tea Tri-biotics, a complex made of fermented prebiotics, probiotics, và postbiotics — everything you need khổng lồ keep your skin microbiome in check.
Its anh hùng ingredient is Beauty Green Tea, an amino acid-rich ingredient that the brand claims will help open up the skin"s water passageway lớn improve moisture delivery. Its Dual-Moisture-Rising Technology™, made of a Jeju green tea extract & green tea seed oil blend, helps maintain the skin"s precarious moisture balance & aids in boosting moisture retention. It also has allantoin lớn temporarily soothe any external irritation. The end result should be smoother, softer skin.
All that goodness comes in an ombre-green bottle with a handy pump to lớn dispense the product in a hygienic manner. The pump also comes with a twist-screw closure to open and close the bottle, preventing spillage when not in use. I appreciate that there isn"t a removable cap, reducing any unnecessary plastic packaging.
Application & usage

Its light, water-like consistency makes it easy và quick to lớn absorb after applying.
The serum has a refreshing, floral-like scent that wafts into the air upon opening. I"m not the biggest fan of fragrances in my skincare, since some fragrances can be irritating for those with sensitive skin, so I tend to steer away from such products. But after doing a patch test & not seeing any negative reactions, I proceeded lớn incorporate the serum into my routine.

I started by using it on its own in the morning. After cleansing my face, I applied two pumps of the product to slightly damp skin. The serum, which has a watery consistency, was almost immediately absorbed into my skin. I noticed my skin feeling slightly taut during this first day, so I decided to địa chỉ a lightweight moisturiser moving forward.
It was the right decision. This is the kind of hydrating serum that needs a moisturiser to lớn work its magic. My complexion felt soft và hydrated, without any added greasiness on my T-zone. The minimal makeup I applied during the day went on smoothly, not having any dry patches lớn cling to.
After two weeks, I tried increasing the application lớn twice a day. I found that I prefer using the serum with my night cream, as I feel the richer texture helped further increase hydration, but I also use it in the morning underneath a gel moisturiser and sunscreen. I also use it as my go-to serum after using an exfoliating clay mask. This combination led to lớn a noticeable improvement in my complexion. It felt softer, smoother, và bouncier, even less oily than usual. It’s safe to say I’m quite satisfied with this bestselling serum.
Final thoughts

It lives up lớn its stellar reputation as a K-beauty must-have.
After using the sản phẩm for almost a month, I"m very pleased with the improved hydration & softer texture my skin now has. My dehydrated combination skin has been more balanced & I can truly see myself using it continuously. If you"re looking to showroom a hydrating product to your skincare routine, this is a good option to lớn consider. I can see folks with dry skin loving this product, but those with oily, combination, và dehydrated skin will enjoy it too.
