Review: Innisfree The Green Tea Seed Oil

I first came to know of this product through some samples that came along with my other beauty products purchases. The little satchels of samples seemed quite effective in keeping my face 'hydrated' during the night.

I'm quite a practical person and couldn't care less about the packaging. As long as it works to what it claims, that's good enough for me. Let's see what Innisfree says about The Green Tea Seed Oil:

Since it bills itself as a moisturizing and nourishing essence, I would expect it to work very well in the moisturizing aspect. It does make my skin feels softer and not that dry after a night in an air-conditioned room, although some dry patches on my face still remained.

Press and apply a few drops on your palm or finger tips.

As you can see, it's a clear oil but not thick consistency.

Massage and pat to let your skin absorb the oil. There will be a slight sheen afterwards.

What I like:
- Not greasy
- Slight after-sheen that makes your skin looked healthier
- Does locked in moisture for a couple of hours
- Requiring only a few drops of the essence each time
- Easy to apply

What I dislike:
- The smell/fragrance was too strong and unpleasant for me
- Will cause a stinging sensation on dry patches or slight abrasions
- The glass bottle makes it difficult to bring it out
- Tends to get oily and disgusting when you sweat

Best use: Apply before sleeping in an air-conditioned room.
