Innisfree Jeju Sparkling Mineral Essence - Review



This is one of the products I bought from Althea.  I saw this product from a review in youtube by Gothamista and decided to test it anyways.  I bought this for php 970.  It was on sale with 35% discount in Althea.

This will also be my first Innisfree product that I'll own.  As of now, you can only get Innisfree online in the Philippines.

Let's start the review...



Packaging 
I love the packaging of this product.  It comes in a beautiful blue ombre pump tube, which is great since it's more sanitary.



Smell 
It has a rather strong citrus scent.  I'm not usually bothered by scents, but the citrus scent is so strong that it bothers me.
Consistency 
The consistency when you have a pump is foamy.  
Application 
When applied, it feels lightweight and after application your skin will feel a warm, contrary to Gothamista which she felt cool after applying the product.  On first application, you'll feel that it helps your skin absorb more of the cream you'll apply to your face after this step.  

I didn't see any sparkling effect to my skin after application though contrary to other reviews.

The greatest con I have with this product is that it didn't work for me.  I don't have sensitive skin, but the next day, I saw flesh coloured bumps in my face.  After consulting my Dermatologist resident, she said to stop using the product since it seemed irritant to my skin.
Pros 
Packaging is hygienic, comes with a pump, lightweight when applied
Cons 
Overpowering smell, not compatible with my skin
Recommend?


    t may work for you.  But it didn't work for me.  You have to be not sensitive about the scent since the scent is overpowering. Since it's an irritant for me, I definitely will never buy this again.

    2/10  - since it's an irritant to my skin


    I'm thinking of selling or giving away my bottle since I only had 3 pumps of it.  What do you think?
