this is the description from innisfreeworld: this replenishes your skin overnight, moisturizing and nourishing tired skin and making your skin condition perfect for makeup. the fermented jeju soybean extract adds moisture and flexibility to the skin. this protects the skin from environmental damage, building a tight and elastic skin barrier.

the packaging: the sample comes in a tube with screw top. salute to korean brands, even though it's just a sample, they still put a seal on the opening. although the design is different from the full size one, the color is the same. but no english text at the back.

the smell: actually, the essence smells none. but this one smells herbal, which reminds me like sulwhasoo. not too strong though. once you put it on your face, you can barely pick up the scent. or may it's just me and my bad nose? anyway, if you like floral scent or something nicer, try their orchid line instead of this one.

the product: it's a milky white cream. quite slimy if i can say because sometimes when i dotted it on my face, some of the cream will be dragged across my face like slime. but it's absorbed quickly and doesn't leave sticky feeling.

the result: this is not as thick as the innisfree orchid enriched cream, but quite moisturizing without making my face greasy in the morning. but i still use this at night, considering it's pretty thick than my day moisturizer. all i can say it helps with moisture, but as for building tight and elastic skin barrier, probably it will need more than a month use to notice it. this sample can last me for 3 weeks night time use only, and i don't experience any breakouts from this one.

overall, this one is a nice option for a night cream for normal to combination skin, but for dry skin, i think this one will not be enough. but since there are a few items that i've tried also give me similar result, probably i won't buy the full version since it's quite expensive for my budget. but if you like the whole soybean line, then buy this one..
