[REVIEW] - Innisfree Black Green-Tea Mask

Innisfree is a very popular Korean brand that had an affordable price point. They are known for their multiple-flavored sheet masks; however, for my first review, I am going to talk about their Black Green-Tea mask (wash-off mask).

This mask is a little bit more expensive compared to their other products. I bought it online for $ 32 and it was first introduced to me as a sample, but it immediately caught my attention, so I thought it will be interesting to try out the full-size product and make it my first review here.

CLAIM: 

1. Made from Jeju fermented green tea – black green tea 
It contains 55.0% fermented Jeju green tea squeeze, a great antioxidant and moisturizer obtained through the fermentation of fresh organic Jeju green tea leaves and twice ripened together with cedar over a period of 100 days. 

2. Double-care with fermented green tea squeeze and fermented green tea leaves 
The fermented green tea squeeze provides moisture and nourishment to keep the skin clean and healthy. While the fermented green tea leaves cool down and soothe the skin and, at the same time, exfoliate dead skin cells to keep the skin clean and smooth. 

3. Water Holding Network technology to hold moisture in the skin 
It uses a special mask formulation technology which instantly forms a moisture-protective coating to keep the skin moisturised after application. 

Ingredients: Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Glycerin, Propanediol, Methyl Gluceth-20, Polyglycerin-3, water, Trehalose, Glyceryl Polymethacrylate, Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer, Camellia Sinensis Leaf, Opuntia Coccinellifera Fruit Extract, Citrus

HOW TO USE: Use it after cleansing and toning the face. Avoid the eyes and lips areas when applying, and leave it for 10 - 15 minutes, then rinse off with lukewarm water.

REVIEW: 

NOTE:

• My Age: 20 
• My Nationality: Asian 
• My Skin Color: Yellow 
• My Skin Type: Lean more toward dry, Acne-prone, Scar-prone

The package of the mask looks identical to the picture. It's simple and easy to open.

After cleansing my face and apply the toner as directed on the package, I reach for this mask as the next step. As I apply the product onto my face, it was so moist and cooling. The smell of black tea (or green tea) just calm me down after a stressful day and the texture was not hard to spread out at all. I felt especially good when I saw the tiny pieces of leaves inside the liquidy mask because it made the whole experience just seemed so organic and relaxing.

The direction said to put it on for 10-15 minutes and for me, I decide to rinse it off after I felt the mask begin to dry and become sticky- maybe around 10 minutes, or so. And boy, after all the mask has been washed off, my skin felt so soft and smooth. I didn't expect much from the product at first to be honest. But I really enjoy the result of this. It made my skin glow a little bit and I notice a small tone-down for my acne scars and redness. And overall, I just love it. Totally love the herb-ish smell, love the soothing sensation on my skin and especially the way my face literally radiant afterward.

However, you do need to proceed with your routine after this whether it's your essence, serum, or moisturizer because your skin will become slightly dry as the mask has taken off your dead skin and might  have also stripped some of your natural oil along the way. It was not as intense as an exfoliator; it is a gentler way of cleansing the surface of your skin. 

On the other hand, as much as I definitely adore the black green tea mask, to be honest, I am not sure if the price is worth it. Do I regret buying this? No. Will I buy this again? Hmm, not really. I mean with this price, I would want to explore more product out there that might be better or might even be cheaper because for a college girl like me, honey, $32 wash-off mask is not cheap.

But I would recommend this for someone who wanna have a good relaxing experience with wash-off mask and the price is not that much of a concern to them because it really is a good product, just a little bit pricey for me. 

 So for my final rate, I give it 4/5. 

And that is all for my review for Innisfree Black Green-Tea Mask. Hope you guys find this helpful. Thank you!
