Today I've decided to review this two products from Innisfree, I've had them for a few weeks now and in general I'm quite satisfied with them so I decided to write about them and tell you my opinion.
A bit of background about the company.. Innisfree is a Korean based cosmetics company who is popular for being the first company to come up with natural products in Korea. They're known for their green and eco-friendly packaging and for using natural and freshly extracted ingredients in their products.
Innisfree Green Tea Seed Serum
I have to say that I'm very pleased with this product, it does exactly what it claims to do so there's not much to say.
It claims to give your skin that extra moisture it needs right before you apply your normal moisturiser, leaving your skin supple and clearer. But this does not eliminate the need of moisturiser afterwards.
I don't agree with making my skin clearer since it hasn't helped with blemishes but I can totally see a difference in my skin tone as it seems a bit more even than before although not drastic but we will see maybe with time I will see even better results.
I do love how quickly it soaks in, it's almost as if my skin would drink it up. My skin is left softer, plumpier and more glowy. I feel like it has helped with the redness on my cheeks as well.
I also like how compact the bottle is, it doesn't take much space so it's perfect to take with you when travelling.
Although having said all that I must add that I'm not amazed by it but I do like it and I will definitely repurchase it once it runs out. I'm going to rate this a 3/3

Innisfree Super Volcanic Pore Clay Mask
Well.. I've developed a love-hate relationship with this product but before I get into that let me tell you what the company says it does: "Tightens pores + Removes sebum + Exfoliates dead skin cells + Offers deep cleansing + Enhances skin tone + Provides cooling effects."
It's basically a mud mask, if you've never used a mud mask I'll post a picture of how it looks like on the pot. They usually look grey-ish and they dry on your face to the point you where almost can't move it.
I don't think it does everything it claims to as opposed to the serum (except for the small detail). But it does indeed tighten your pores (not drastically but you can tell the difference upon continuous usage), removes the greasiness from your face, enhances skin tone and provides cooling effects.
I completely disagree with the part where it says it offers deep cleansing, I feel like it brings all the impurities of my face to the surface but it does not remove them. I need to use an exfoliator afterwards to make sure it's properly removed. Also, the first time I used it my skin felt quite dry that day and it really stung when I applied it but the other times when my skin was back to normal it didn't sting at all, it felt really refreshing and nice. I wouldn't recommend it if you have very dry and sensitive skin.
I have read reviews before purchasing this myself and some people claim it helped a lot with their blackhead. I must say that I don't agree with this, as I said it brings the impurities to the surface but it does not remove them.
But thinking of it, it might be a really good product to use after steaming your face and then cleansing your face with a Clarisonic, that may indeed clean your blackheads thoroughly.
I give this a 1/3. As I won't be repurchasing this again and I'm not completely satisfied with it.
