innisfree green tea seed cream

okay, this is the other part of the green tea seed sample that i had. the other one is the eye cream that i've reviewed before. if you are not familiar with innisfree, their green tea line is one of their famous lines, they even expanded the lines to accommodate all the skin type.

this is the description from their global website: a moisturizing antioxidant cream with eco-friendly jeju fresh green tea and green tea seeds. antioxidant-infused cream made with jeju green tea seeds for deep hydration and nourishment. a moisturizing and nourishing serum containing eco-friendly jeju fresh green tea and green tea seeds. more moisture and freshness with 100% green tea. rich in amino acids and minerals, green tea from jeju's own green tea leaves hydrates your skin. dual moisture-rising technology derived from green tea and green tea seed oil. the fresh green tea deeply hydrates your skin and the green tea seed oil creates a strong moisture barrier to keep your skin moisturized longer. with the help of the antioxidants naturally present in green tea, this cream rich in moisture keeps skin healthy and moisturized without stickiness.

the packaging: the sample has the picture of the full size tub in front of the sachet. and at the back there's only korean text. but, the tub picture on my sample is dark green, while the new version is light green. i don't know if i had the older version or the newer one.

the smell: like all their green tea line, it smells wonderful. not sure if it's green tea though, but i think it's more floral scent rather than green tea. overall, it's a nice scent but not too overpowering.

the product: it's gel type cream, pretty thick, but not as thick as the enriched cream. slightly thicker than my usual nature republic moisturizer. it's absorbed easily, leaving a glistening trace on my skin. no sticky feeling afterwards.

the result: it's moisturizing, for oily skin, it will be perfect as night cream, but for dry skin, probably you can use it day and night. it's hydrating but not too much, it doesn't make my skin greasy in the morning.

overall, it's a nice cream, suitable for most skin types. although it doesn't break me out, but it's not enough to convince me into committing to full size product. but, do try it if you like green tea, in search for a light hydrating cream that's not too heavy.
