innisfreeGreen Tea Seed Hydrating Serum with Hyaluronic Acid & Niacinamide, Korean Face Serum for Glow

I recently purchased the Innisfree Starter Kit, and I’m so glad I did! As someone new to the brand, this kit was the perfect way to try out their products without committing to full-size items. The kit comes with a good variety of their best-selling products, and I love that it includes everything I need for a full skincare routine.

I’ve been a fan of the InnisFree moisturizing cream ever since I got the sample size. Lucky, I stumbled upon this set. For the price, it’s worth it because it comes with the full size (I think? Correct me if I’m wrong) facial cleanser, as well as the serum. Lowkey disappointed on the size of the cream and toner. However, I’m excited to use it. It’ll be my first time using all of it besides the cream, but I heard good reviews on this product for people with combination or oily skin. I’m also planning to buy their powder! :) (I put my Vaseline lotion next to these products so you can visualize the actual size of it.)

This product got me into consistently wearing skincare. This is not an exaggeration- I typically have normal skin and my skin was drying out intensely this winter in New York and I was in need of a change. My routine has always been face washing followed by a standard moisturizer. Adding this to my routine made an INSANE difference. This is without a doubt a new staple for me.. I apply it morning and evening and my skin glows all day. It has also inspired me to upgrade all areas of my skincare routine. I have had people ask if I use Botox since using! Highly recommend. I love that the website for this brand provides a refill option to reduce packaging waste.

I love Innisfree products, and I really enjoyed using this serum. It feels nice going onto the skin, and the scent is nice, but not overpowering. I had very high hopes for this serum. I so wish that I could continue using it, especially at the price point for such a large quantity (80ml) of serum. It's an amazing deal.I know that this is typically a very nice, hydrating product, from hearing about the experience of others. It is very affordably-priced for such a large quantity, so I would recommend trying it, if you don't have sensitivities to Niacinamide, denatured alcohol, lactic acid, or the fragrances in the product.Unfortunately, my experience was probably fairly atypical, because I just figured out that I'm allergic to/sensitive to Niacinamide. I've been struggling for several months, trying to find good products that work for my skin, and I just couldn't seem to figure it out. My skin was doing worse and worse, no matter what I tried. It never occurred to me that Niacinamide was the culprit, because it's supposed to be this amazing ingredient that works wonders & is great for all skin types. It's supposed to be soothing, restoring, and healing, among many other desirable attributes. (And unfortunately, it is in almost everything these days.)Once I dropped all of my Niacinamide products, my skin started looking much better fairly quickly. I did try a single, low-dose Niacinamide product, once my skin was healed, and the reaction was immediate, so I'm certain that Niacinamide is a no-no for me.My skin type is dry & sensitive. Niacinamide (in any product) left my skin more and more dehydrated over time. No matter how much I fought it by using ultra-hydrating and moisturizing products. It left my skin with lots of deep (temporary) wrinkles and fine lines, due to the severe dehydration. My skin had a weird, pale, white, powdery appearance, but I didn't have any typical dryness or flaking. It was very strange. My skin also looked kind of puffy, swollen, and even "frothy" at times. I had lots of unusual texture, and strange, red, swollen, raised "bumps" on my skin. My skin was also, red, inflamed, and itchy with flushing, warming, burning, and stinging. I know that these are some very strange symptoms. They are hard for me to adequately describe, because I've never experienced or heard of anything like it, but the symptoms were definitely all due to Niacinamide.So glad I finally cracked the case. It's a shame to have to forego such an all-around hardworking ingredient. That being said... I'm grateful to forego the negative effects that it was having on my skin.If you aren't sensitive to the ingredients, I do recommend giving this Innisfree Green Tea Seed Intensive Hydrating Serum a try. It's a very nice, soothing, hydrating product for those with no sensitivities, and Innisfree is an awesome K-beauty brand, in general. I so wish that I was able to continue using this serum...

Exceeded my expectation. A little goes a long way! The foam wash is wonderful, the serum is not sticky, moisturizer is light. Smells great.

every part of this set does well on my sensitive skin/rosacea although cleanser strips a little more than I prefer. have rebought multiple times

Great!

This is a very good product. I have very sensitive skin and it has not broken out my face which is a win. I have very dry skin and this does a good job of keeping my skin moisturized. It does not leave it greasy. I use this as part of my night routine. I used to use it as part of my morning but it’s not the product’s fault that I just use it as a nightly routine now I will definitely get this again when I’m low since you only need a little bit, it does last a long time.
