Green Tea Seed Hyaluronic Serum.

"Innisfree's Green Tea Seed Hyaluronic Serum is one of their most iconic products and it has a genuinely devoted following, people go crazy over it on social media. After water, propanediol, and glycerin, niacinamide sits at position five, then green tea seed oil, the brand's hero ingredient, at a meaningful position on the label. When you get to the hyaluronic acid forms, sodium hyaluronate is disclosed at 103 parts per million and hyaluronic acid at 100 parts per million, and even though that sounds like a big number, those are very low concentrations. The hyaluronic acid forms here are playing a supporting role, they're not the primary driver of hydration the way they are in Torriden. The primary hydration work is being done by green tea extract, saccharide, and other humectants earlier on the label. This product also has essential oils, citrus, lemon peel oil, limonene, and citral, which are fragrance components that can be irritating for sensitive skin, and some of the older Innisfree formulas contained denatured alcohol that could be really drying. That doesn't make it a bad product. The formula feels beautiful on the skin. If you love the sensorial feel of K beauty and your skin isn't reactive, this is for you, you get gentle brightening benefits alongside hydration, so it's really a double whammy product. Just know that the HA concentration is lower than the name suggests and the essential oils are there."
