Innisfree The Green Tea Seed Serum Review
As I promised in my haul which was a while ago now, I said I will do reviews on the products that I have bought on cosmetic-love and I am now here to do the review on the Innisfree The Green Tea Seed Serum.


"Enriched with Green Tea Seed and Green complex from pure Jeju island. Green Tea Pure revives dry, stressed skin by supplying abundant moisture."
This serum is made for those people with dry skin, and although my skin type is combination/oily my skin is also dehydrated at the same time, and my skin has been getting drier because of the cold weather and acne treatments, so I thought this product will be perfect to soothe my skin.

I first heard about this product from a Korean youtuber 'AhraMaBlog' or her blog http://www.cyworld.com/aradazzblog and from there I did a lot of research into this product and at first I was skeptical about trying this out since I didn't have dry skin and thought it would be too greasy on my skin. It is my first time trying a hydrating/moisture serum since majority of my previous ones are all to do with oil control, pore minimizing or acne fighting, but I thought I would give this a go and see if it would help with my dehydrated and slightly dry skin. Furthermore, when I was researching on this product I couldn't find a whole lot of reviews in English so I am here to give you more information and hopefully help you out in some way if you were thinking of buying this product.


The serum itself comes in a 80ml plastic bottle, which is a lot of product compared to many other serums. I usually prefer serums that come in a glass bottle because they look sturdier and more elegant but because 'Innisfree' is a eco friendly brand it makes more sense that it comes in a plastic packaging than glass. at the back it even asks the customer to return the bottle to innisfree when you have finished the product, I'm guessing so that they can recycle it. Of course this only applies to people who live in Korea.


Onto the actual product, in the picture the serum looks almost translucent but in person the product comes in a very slight milky shade. The texture is between being water and a gel type, it's slightly thicker than water but much lighter than a gel, which makes it feel really light weight when applied.


The product spreads really easily on the skin and you don't need to use a lot, 1-2 pumps is enough to cover your whole face and neck. Also, because the product a very light consistency, the product doesn't take a long time for it to absorb into the skin which is always a bonus if you don't like waiting forever for products to be completely absorbed.

Price: 5/5
Fragrance: 3.5/5
Texture: 5/5
Hydration/Moisture: 4/5
Effect: 3.8/5

Overall Comment:
I like this serum, and would definitely recommend it for those with combination/dry skin. I found the moisture level to be just enough for me, but if you suffer from dry-very dry skin, this serum may not be the best moisture serum for you and you may need to layer another serum or use a more moisturizing cream afterwards. This serum makes my dry and dehydrated areas of my skin feel baby soft!
The fragrance is smells fresh and natural, but it is quite strong so if you know you can't use any skin care items that have a strong scent to it you might want to skip on this one. The scent doesn't linger and goes within 10-15 minutes once absorbed into the skin.
However, I found that this serum only provided me hydration but didn't cure the dryness/dehydration in my skin. The effects only lasted temporarily when I had the product on and when I wash my face again my skin became dry again.

Would I repurchase: Yes, but only in the winter since I will feel this is going to be too moisturizing for my skin in the summer.

Take Care ~ ♥

Cosmetic-Love Haul ~
 So recently I have been spending a LOT of money >.< (guess it's time to save up this month) but I just finished a lot of my skincare products so I had decided to purchase some new items to try out from cosmetic-love ^^ ~

Here's what I got altogether (a lot of them were samples though)
[Etude House Fresh Cherry Tint in RD301 Red]
I bought this because everyone seems to hyping about lip tints and especially this colour and the peach one, but I don't really wear peach shades on my lips much so I went with the red which is apparently meant to be more like a raspberry red colour rather than a straight on red.
 [Innisfree The green tea seed serum]
I've always wanted to try this but never got round to buying this, I first saw this product when I was streaming online to a Korean channel and saw Yoona on the CF for this product but it wasn't until I saw AhraMaBlog's YouTube video on her skincare routine had I really wanted to try this product out.
 [SkinFood Salmon Brightening Eye Cream]
I'm running low on my current Estee Lauder eye cream and I have always wanted to try SkinFood products so this was the perfect time for me to try this, It comes with quite a lot of product, more than my current Estee Lauder one, but I am excited to try this one.
 [SkinFood Black Sugar Wash Off Mask]
(sorry this picture is quite blurry for some reason my camera wouldn't focus on this product) I heard a lot of Korean bloggers and vloggers talk about this product and how amazing it is as an exfoliator for the face so I decided to give this a try after I finish up my current exfoliator/scrub.

SAMPLES!
[CW CLINIC Fresh Lemon Mask Sheet, Missha Cleansing Tissue, Innisfree Olive Real Lotion, SkinFood Water Berry Gift Set, Skin79 BB Cleanser, SkinFood Agave Cactus Sun BB Cream SPF36 PA+++, Etude House BB Cream Bright Fit 02, NESURA Charcoal nose strip, SkinFood Egg White Pore Foam]
that's a lot of sample right? I was shocked about the amount of samples there was when I opened the parcel ^^ ~

That's all for my haul today ~ I will be doing some reviews on these products when I have tried them out, also I will be having a Gmarket haul coming soon as well when it arrives ~

take care ~ ♥
