Innisfree Green Tea Balancing Cream Ex Review

As new research tells us that our skin needs moisture and hydration even if it is oily.Dehydrated skin is more prone to damage.When the skin gets dehydrated or distressed , it produces more sebum/oil and that can lead to clogged pores, skin irritation and acne.
So I have been on the lookout for products that provide moisture to my oily skin without making it greasy or causing break outs.

I seem to have found one in this highly acclaimed product - The Innisfree Green Tea Balancing Cream Extract .


About The Brand

Innisfree is a Korean Skin care brand , famous for using natural products in their skin care range.Their Super Volcanic Pore Clay mask and Green tea seed serum are world wide best sellers.


Price : Rs 1300/- for 50 ml .It comes in a lightweight but sturdy green plastic jar with a plastic twist around lid which is pretty air tight .




How to Use 

Use clean hands to take out a small amount of cream and apply on face and neck and massage gently in circular motions.In case you wish to layer it , better to use it after using the serum to seal in the moisture.


PROS of  Innisfree Green Tea Balancing Cream

1. Spreads easily and thinly 
2. No shine or greasiness ,even after 2 hours of application
3. Little product is enough to give good moisturization
4.Cruelty free 
5.Contains Green Tea extracts that help in toning and moisturising both 
6. Did not give me any acne or irritation
7. Suitable for oily skin and combination skin 



Cons of  of  Innisfree Green Tea Balancing Cream

1.Expensive 
2.It is not a drugstore brand , so you can get it only at the Innisfree outlets or online
3.It is just a moisturising cream, no added vitamins or sunscreen etc , not a multitasking product


FINAL VERDICT 

I have been using it for about a month now and it provides non sticky hydration to my oily skin, the effect lasts for 4-6 hours easily.I do not see any other major changes in my skin but my skin feels calmer and less irritated (I always get breakouts around this time of the year but this year so far so good ).

I rate it a 4/5 .

A good hydrating product for oily and combination skins ,though I do wish it could multitask as I hate layering on more products.

    So I have a combination skin and I was looking for something that doesn't makes my skin oily or sweaty in this weather. Looks like I should try this cream, though it looks lil expensive.

    The Innisfree Green Tea Balancing Cream seems to be a good moisturizer and more so for oily skin. though it seems to be a tad bit expensive, looks like value for money.

    I have always found Innisfree products to be good. They do a lot of research and use good quality ingredients before a product is launched in the market. Thanks for the review. It seems a good cream to replenish the skin.

I recently got  to drink this Chenin Blanc White Wine from the Grover Reserve Collection 2017 vintage and I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was.

Chenin Blanc is a versatile white-wine grape variety that has been cultivated in France for nearly 1300 years and recently being cultivated by Grover Zampa Vineyards in Southern India .

This wine is from the Grover Art Collection range and bears the artwork of famous Bengali Artist Sanjay Bhattacharjee who is well known for his use of vivid colours to convey depth and perspective just like the wine the bottle holds ! So that is another fact that can make this a collector's item or great for gifting.

MAC Studio Fix Fluid Foundation NC 40

Image
I have not been much of a make up person especially when it comes to foundations,but I am not blessed with flawless skin so it becomes a necessity when going for events and functions.I was quite satisfied with using the usual  Lakme or Maybelline Fit me range which seemed to cater to my skin tone but after a spate of acne,I felt the need for a foundation that gives better coverage and also suited my sensitive acne prone skin.
So I decided to try the much hyped MAC studio Fix Fluid foundation.
Here is my review of this product :

Price -Rs 2700 /30 ml ( Yes it is expensive !)

Presentation - In a sturdy transparent plastic bottle with a black twist on black rubber cap.No pump is given , you can purchase a separate pump, which only makes it pricier , so better to use a brush.


This foundation comes in , NC (neutral cool to cancel out the warm undertones ) and NW (Neutral Warm to add warmth to Cool undertones).

The Sales Assistant ,matched my complexion with the shade NC 40. He was also pret…
