Innisfree Broccoli Clearing Lotion | A Product Review

As I am looking to buy a new light moisturizer and I am living on a country with humid climate, I have seen skinfood line of Innisfree. Innisfree is a brand that I also trust. Whenever I am looking for a skincare product, I always go to Innisfree. Skinfood has been popular now because of natural ingredients and not so many fillers. Innisfree has released many variants on its Skinfood line like Blueberry, Beetroot, Kale, Oats, Broccoli, Fig, and others that I may not have mentioned. I also bought cleaner on its Blueberry Skinfood line.

Brand Name: Innisfree

Product Name: Broccoli Clearing Lotion

Product Type: Moisturizer

Product Price: Php 500 (130mL)

Just like the other Skinfood line of Innisfree, the packaging is simple and transparent. What I like about it is that I can easily know if I already half way through or a need a new bottle. The plastic-type container also indicates the price of the product. It is way cheaper than other brands and other kinds.

This is how it was sealed. This has a green sticker that sticks from the cap to the body of the lotion. On the inside, there is also a top cover so the lotion will not came out and it is not greasy. But if you are a heavy user, it is convenient if you just dispose the seal. I also place this in the fridge for a cool sensation whenever I apply it on my face.

The consistency is thick and white in nature. When I applied it on my face, it is not greasy. My skin easily absorbed it, this is why I apply more than I normally use compared on my other Innisfree lotion. I have used it for days now and I can say that my pimples somehow improved in terms that it was not that irritated like before and my face seems clearer. My skin is oily and sensitive. I also gets acne during that time of the month. In short, I always have acne so I am really searching for that product that my skin will love. Innisfree Broccoli Clearing Lotion contains a small percentage of BHA that is why I only use this in the morning, specifically speaking, I avoid using this at night because I use Niacinamide and Retinol.

I have checked and search for combination that is suited for all skin types using active ingredients. It is okay to combine BHA/AHA with niacinamide or retinol. But since I am using both Niacinamide and Retinol on my night routine, I think adding BHA is way too much.

Innisfree Broccoli Clearing Lotion is not as heavy as the others and if you really want a moisturizer that may hydrate your skin after all the steps in your skincare routine, then this is not for you. Try to search for creams. But if you are like me who just wants enough moisture, I recommend this product. I also read some reviews that this lotion helps clearing their skin. Hoping also for my face to be as clearer as it can be.

Thayers Witch Hazel Rose Petal | A Product Review

Whenever I am looking for a skincare product, I watch videos in Youtube or search reviews on Google. I have tried Innisfree samples but I was not convinced since they are more expensive compared to others with such good volume. One of well-known Pinay Youtube influencer recommended this toner which she agreed that it will give best results to any skin type. She made me convinced and I searched for it online. Now, I will soon emptied the bottle.

Brand Name: Thayers
Product Name: Witch hazel (Rose Petal)
Product Type: Toner
Product Price: Php 695 (355mL)

I am using this for almost a year now and still counting. This is an American Brand and I can say there are no bad reactions to my skin and no outstanding happened either. But this is worth the money as you can see. Since we all have different skin types and I can not say that what is good for me is good for you or what is bad, I think it is still better to try it for yourself especially now there are small volumes available online as samplers. But if you are a fan of witch hazel, it is definitely for you.

The formula is transparent and the smell is not too strong. At first, I am hesitant to the rose odor of it but eventually, I get used to it. I apply this every time I washed my face and this becomes a habit.

When I apply it, I just apply it as is. I do not use cotton because I think, the cotton just absorbs the liquid and my face has not given enough amount. But it is still depends on how you apply toner and what fits you. The thing I like about this is it is not sticky and it will get dry easily. I also have a pocket of this whenever I go because this can also be a mist. It does not sting and it will leave you refresh. But to be honest, I have not yet found my toner. Now that it will be emptied, I am searching for other toners that will eventually have a better result to my skin.

Witch Hazel promised to treat certain conditions and it has an astringent effects. Meanwhile, rose petals are used for its astringent and antibacterial power. It has a good combination and I have nothing against it. For almost a year of applying it, I did not breakout but I have pimples from time to time usually on the red days. I maybe need a more powerful since my skin is oily and sensitive.

I still recommend this one. It is cheaper than others and have a good formula. Have you already tried it? I would like to know your thoughts with this.

Innisfree Green Tea Seed Eye Cream | A Product Review

Green tea has many benefits and one of this is antioxidants. Innisfree introduced its Green Tea Seed line that has been proven effective by so many since it became available to the market. This is my first time using an eye cream to repair my under eye and hopefully to help minimize my eye bags.

I searched for an effective eye cream that is suitable for me and affordable. And almost all reviews that I came to suggest to try this Innisfree's famous Green Tea Seed Eye Cream. I can not say that it is affordable and there is no smaller version available for me to get a sample. And since I am a fan of Innisfree, I bought one. I also hold on to famous influencers' reviews.

Brand Name: Innisfree
Product Name: Green Tea Seed Eye Cream
Product Type: Eye Cream
Product Price: Php1089 (30mL)

I bought this for only Php 500 because this has been used by the first buyer. It did not went well for her skin so she sell it cheaper. I bought this almost full, like it never been used before. The seller has proofs that it is legit and still not expired. As I checked the originality of the product in the internet and to the actual product as I already bought it, this really seems legit and there is nothing wrong for me to worry about.

I like its packaging and it says too well to its price. Even though it only contains 30mL, it looks big because of the container. It is kind of unhygienic because of large opening, but you only need a small amount for your eyes so no need to worry and I also believe that you will use this only on your routine with washed hands. For the container only, I will give it a thumbs up. The embedded brand name on the cap, the lettering, and especially the packaging, I really like it. The container itself says it all and justifiable to the price. But if they will have a cheaper version or even a sampler, I will definitely buy that one because I only need small volume to get me going. I always mention the price because for me, this one is really expensive. After all, eye creams are not cheap.

As you can see for many months now of continuous usage (except when I am out of town), I still have half to go. I also give a friend a portion because I recommend this to him. On the first months and also because I just start to apply and take a chance with different products, I have seen no difference. But after some time now, you can see on the image below that my eyelashes really gives me that break through. Before, they are not that thick and long. Recently, many of my coworkers noticed it. That is why I determined to make a review about it and to recommend it. Last year, I have seen the changes already but I have seen no difference on my under eyes. I just continue to use this because there is nothing bad happened during and after applications.

I have natural curled eyelashes. I inherited this on my dad so when it gets long and thick, this really became so noticeable and this is what I love with this Innisfree product. Because of this, I honestly say that this is effective but not for brightening under eyes. I am still getting there and still hopeful. Maybe by the use of other skincare products that I am using now, my under eyes have been improved. Also, it is now not that too baggy.

I recommend Innisfree Green Tea Seed Eye Cream for eye improvements. I have read and watched good reviews about it. But if ever the container have been emptied, I will still search for better but it will still be my first choice. So far, I am happy using it.

Try it for yourselves. After all, this is Innisfree. You can never go wrong with Innisfree.

Apotheke Brightening Night Serum | A Product Review

I am not a fan of serums because the last time I used one, it just gets my money without seeing any result. And for the past few months when I give skincare a shot, I checked videos regarding what main ingredient will I need to have for that young looking skin. There are active ingredients that I found but since my skin is somehow also sensitive, I am afraid to use such because I do not know what to do whenever this nightmare happens to me.

If you have checked my previous blog post, I reviewed other Apotheke product which mainly contained Niacinamide. I also mentioned on that post the benefits, the effectiveness and how it does not harm the skin compared to others.

Because I have seen good improvement using this Niacinamide one, I decided to try another and I believe in Apotheke's credibility. I also checked buyers' reviews on their night serum.

Brand Name: Apotheke Science Philippines
Product Name: Apotheke Brightening Night Serum
Product Type: Serum
Product Price: Php199 (30mL)

I decided to try this one because it has retinol in it. Retinol helps in anti-aging process of the skin and it is recommended to start at mid 20s. I am now 28 years old and I have seen my skin looking ugly and dry. I am hesitant at first because there are others who experienced small bumps after using. Also, same outcome with other brands with retinol. Since I think Apotheke is true to their words and only uses essential chemicals and somehow organic, I bought one to find out. Other korean retinol products I have seen on the market is expensive for me and I only need a sampler for now.

This comes with drops. I apply 4 drops every night after applying moisturizer. One on the forehead, one on each cheeks, and the other one on the chin. Then, I applied it evenly. The formula is sticky but after some time, it will not feel sticky at all. At first night of the application, you may feel a tingling sensation but after continuous application, you may not feel it again. Maybe this is just how the skin reacts to it at first. But if you see or feel that this product is not applicable to use on your skin, stop this then immediately.

According to the instruction that is included in the package when you bought one, continue use for a month to see the difference. I have used this for many months now and the bottle is still half way through. My skin lightens and been improved. Also, this helps on healing my pimples and slowly helps on the lightness of my pigmentation. I like this product. As I can see on my skin now compared to my before, it is way younger looking.

Retinol is good for aging skin. I recommend to incorporate it to a skincare routine at the age of 20. But for pregnant women, it is not adviced. Consult first your physician before applying.

Innisfree Jeju Cherry Blossom Lotion | A Product Review

Since an Innisfree store opened inside SM Mall of Asia, I have been curious to their products especially now that korean skincare is widely known. Ladies who have been into skincare routine that I know, korean brands will be there. Honestly, I am a lazy person so I would like to maintain my routine steps in minimum.

I have an oily to combination skin so I am not really into moisturizer. The last time, a very long time ago I already forgot when, I applied moisturizer on my skin and it did breakout that went to a point where I told myself that moisturizer is not really meant for me. It change my mind when I noticed that some products I bought from Innisfree even the samples went well, why not give another shot for moisturizer. Actually the packaging attracted me that is why I bought one.

Brand Name: Innisfree
Product Name: Innisfree Jeju Cherry Blossom Lotion
Product Type: Moisturizer
Product Price: Php130 (30mL) and Php700 (100mL)
                           Price may vary.

I like the pink color and the packaging type. Innisfree does not disappoints me on their designs and their chose of colors. I only use moisturizers at night before applying my serum because I think my serum left my skin dry after. And before buying this one or any products, I always check for reviews. Since this is not as famous like the other brands and other Innisfree products, I am not well convinced. But then, this is an Innisfree product so why not? After all, this is only 30mL and already cheap for a korean skincare.

The lotion is white in color. I can not say that it smells like cherry blossom because I have not smelled one in actual but it smells really good. And for the texture, it is not sticky but not watery. I like the consistency especially when it was applied on the face. I did not feel sticky at all and there is no sting. It does not take me a long time to let my skin set and be ready for the another step. As soon as you applied it, the skin starts to absorb it. After some time, you can now apply another product on your face.

If you would ask me its effectivity, I can not say much because I use other products on my routine. But I can say that this helps to not let my skin dry and other moisturizer I think can also do the same, just be meticulous on what to choose. Just being honest, now that it will soon be empty, I tried to look for other korean moisturizer online to buy. Since I have not convinced with other brands and I think some of them are expensive for me, I look for this one again because it does not give bad impression until now. But it does not stop me there. I tried to look for other Innisfree lotion. I changed my mind when I have seen other that more likely beneficial.

When I opened my new lotion that I bought recently from Innisfree, I will definitely make a review on it.

Before I forgot, Innisfree Jeju Cherry Blossom as I read on other's reviews, it has a whitening effect. I can not say if it is real because I use a brightening serum at night. I can just say that why not try it for yourself? After all, this is an Innisfree.
