REVIEW ON INNISFREE GREEN TEA MINT FRESH SHAMPOO

Hi beautiful,

Today is the review on the Innisfree Green Tea Mint Fresh Shampoo .  By now, I don't think I have to mention the brand Innisfree since it is a very famous popular Korean brand.  Innisfree is very popular with their volcanic mask and also their green tea line.

I am being honest since I got this shampoo because of the low price (I am cheap) 😂 and also curious about the shampoo from this brand as usual without actually looking at the ingredients.  I am not too good with shampoo ingredients since my hair doesn't have that much problem besides being oily.  I also gave a bottle to my family for them to use.  I am totally not sponsored or given this shampoo for free.

Innisfree Green Tea Mint Fresh Shampoo is a sebum-control hair wash that is formulated with a combination of Jeju green tea and mint extracts, and lathers up richly to remove dirt off your scalp and hair. It is also silicone-free, so you don’t have to worry about your hair being dried out. Instead, it provides your scalp and hair with the hydration it needs. Of course, its minty formulation gives off a tingly sensation that both feels refreshing and smells amazing after!


Usage:
Put an appropriate amount of shampoo foam into your hands and massage it into your scalp to create a rich lather. Rinse well to thoroughly remove product residue.

Ingredients:
WATER, SODIUM LAURETH SULFATE, GLYCERIN, COCAMIDE MEA, COCAMIDOPROPYL BETAINE, LAURETH 23, SODIUM CHLORIDE, DIPROPYLENE GLYCOL, POTASSIUM COCOYL GLYCINATE, POLYQUATERNIUM 10, POLYQUATERNIUM 7, GLYCOL DISTEARATE, MENTHOL, CITRUS LIMON LEMON PEEL OIL, ROSMARINUS OFFICINALIS ROSEMARY LEAF OIL, MENTHA PIPERITA PEPPERMINT OIL, HELIANTHUS ANNUUS SUNFLOWER SEED OIL, MENTHA VIRIDIS SPEARMINT LEAF OIL, PANTHENOL, CITRUS UNSHIU PEEL EXTRACT, CAMELLIA SINENSIS LEAF EXTRACT, OPUNTIA COCCINELLIFERA FRUIT EXTRACT, CAMELLIA JAPONICA LEAF EXTRACT, ORCHID EXTRACT, MENTHA ARVENSIS LEAF EXTRACT, BUTYLENE GLYCOL, CITRIC ACID, DISODIUM EDTA, SODIUM BENZOATE, POTASSIUM SORBATE, PHENOXYETHANOL, ETHYLHEXYLGLYCERIN



Innisfree Green Tea Mint Fresh Shampoo comes without a box which is good.  It does have a sticker on the cap.  No plastic wrap around the bottle.  The bottle is mint with semi transparency since I could see the amount of products left inside the bottle.  The cap is those push out button which is okay.

The ingredients is just okay but it is not a sulphate free shampoo.  It doesn't have silicone which some people don't mind having silicone in their hair products.  It has the scent of mint and shampoo is in form of yellowish transparent gel.  I left it a bit on my scalp and it does have the slight minty cooling of feeling on my hair.  The feeling doesn't stay after one wash it off.

Washing it off is easy and it does clean my scalp but it doesn't work much on fungal or dandruff.  The shampoo makes my hair feels dry and tangle up.  So make sure to use a conditioner afterwards or the hair will turn into Sahara desert.  You can try using it only on scalp and avoid the shampoo on the hair.  I find it using it as a weekly shampoo is better than being a everyday shampoo.  My friend doesn't really like it as it causes the hair to itch since she has dandruff and dry scalp.

Overall, Innisfree Green Tea Mint Fresh Shampoo is for very oil scalp with oily hair too with no dandruff problem. Make sure to use a conditioner too.

Here is the review on Pyunkang Yul Acne Cream which I bought along with a few products because of curiosity after trying the Pyunkang Yul 3step mask pack .

This acne cream is from the acne line created for oily or combination skin acne prone skin.  So, if you are interested in this product, check out this review.

Pyunkang Yul skincare products are created by Pyunkang Oriental Medicine Clinic in Korea.  Their skincare products uses oriental medicinal ingredients called hanbang which is very popular with many beauty enthusiast in Korea.

Pyunkang Yul Acne Cream comes in white with baby blue writing.  It also comes in a convenient white tube with screw lid.  I like the packaging since it is easy and hygienic than a jar.

Ingredients:
Water, Glycerin, Dipropylene Glycol, Methylpropanediol, Glyceryl Acrylate/Acrylic Acid Copolymer, PVM/MA Copolymer, Niacinamide, Cetearyl Olivate, Sorbitan Olivate, Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Extract, Dimethyl Sulfone, Pyridoxine HCl, Forsythia Suspensa Fruit Extract, Butylene Glycol, Centella Asiatica Extract, Polygonum Cuspidatum Root Extract, Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Glycyrrhiza Uralensis (Licorice) Root Extract, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract, Carbomer, Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Tromethamine, Copper Tripeptide-1, Hydroxyacetophenone, Myrtus Communis Extract, Tropaeolum majus Extract, Ethylhexylglycerin, Disodium EDTA

The ingredients is okay if you are not allergic to any of them.

Acne-Fighting : Licorice Root Extract Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Extract, centella asiatica,
                           Pyridoxine HCl,
Brightening: Licorice Root Extract, Niacinamide.
Anti-Aging: Niacinamide, Rosemary, Copper Tripeptide-1, Copper Tripeptide-1
Calming: Centella Asiatica Extract,  Scutellaria Baicalensis

Although it is a cream, the texture is actually lightweight transparent gel moisturiser that absorbs fast into the skin without sticky feeling.  It is enough to moisturise my skin since I live in warm humid country but it might not be enough during winter.  It doesn't have any scent to it actually.  There isn't any added fragrance.

For the first week, I like it because it does moisturise my skin without being heavy or causing more breakouts.  It calmed my skin and reduce acne.  Then,  I have a bad breakout the 2nd week I was using it. If you have fungal acne, best to avoid it because it can cause the area with fungal acne to break out and worsen the condition.

Overall, Pyunkang Yul Acne Cream is a nice gel moisturiser for oily and combination acne prone skin that doesn't have allergic with the ingredients but it is not a moisturiser if you have fungal acne though.

Pyungkang Yul Cleansing Foam

Description
A gentle yet effective foam cleanser that adheres to waste products and sebum to remove them from your skin and pores!

1. A gentle yet effective cleanser that calms your skin
2. A dense yet gummy foam that is highly elastic to adhere to waste products that have accumulated on your skin to effectively eliminate them
3. Leaves your skin feeling smooth and hydrated even after cleansing
4. Forms an abundance of foam for a greater cleansing effect

Suggested Use
1. Squeeze out an appropriate amount onto your hands and work onto your skin
2. Incorporate a little water and massage to produce an abundance of foam
3. Rinse with warm water

Ingredient list:
Saposhnikovia Divaricata Root Extract, Glycerin, Myristic Acid, Lauric Acid, Potassium Hydroxide, Stearic Acid, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Beeswax, Glyceryl Stearate, PEG-100 Stearate, Glycol Distearate, Lauramide DEA, Glyceryl Stearate SE, Sodium Polyacrylate, Glyceryl Caprylate, Fragrance


Pyungkang Yul Cleansing Foam comes in a white box with mix of English and Korean written on it.  The one I have is the new renewal packaging so I have no idea if there are changes to the ingredients.  The renewal packaging also has the white tube as the new packaging.

I do like the first ingredient which is the Saposhnikovia Divaricata Root Extract that is antimicrobial which is a nice ingredient to clean the skin.  It is not vegan since it contains beewax.  As for other ingredients, it is okay since cleanser doesn't stay on your skin for more than 3minutes.  

The product is very liquid so becareful else once might accidentally pour out too much.  A little makes a lot of dense foam and it cleanses very well including my sweatproof eyeliner.  It has pH of 6-7 though.

Pyungkang Yul Cleansing Foam has scent of the powdery baby products which doesn't linger once wash off.  It doesn't irritate my skin or cause more acne.  It also doesn't do anything to control my acne prone skin.  I think this make it nice as a family cleanser for people who likes sharing one cleanser and does need any special needs.

Overall, Pyungkang Yul Cleansing Foam is a simple foam cleanser for normal skin and likes foam type of cleanser.

REALISTIC KOREAN SKINCARE ROUTINE FOR ACNE PRONE SKIN

Hi beautiful,

Finally, here is my realistic Korean skincare routine for acne prone skin.  It has been 6 years since I started blogging and I am still no where famous 😂 so I am still working two jobs to make ends meet.  It is impossible for that 10 Korean skincare steps with 20 products because most of the time I just want to go to bed right after I get home.

What wait time?  Don't have that 3 hours luxury for my skincare routine.  I started my blog 6 years ago to practice my English and to share affordable skincare products for acne prone skin.  I hope this guide is useful for those that are dealing with acne prone combination skin type and for fungal acne.

Still here is my skincare routine for acne prone combination skin type.

realistic Korean skincare routine for acne prone skin

I have acne prone skin since more than 18 years ago.  My skin is nowhere perfect but I find it easier to live with just or two small pimples than a whole face full of breakouts.


If you plan to get what I use, make sure to never throw everything onto your face all at once. You can easily mess up your skin.  Also check out the ingredients first before buying.

Here is the video 😀

So here are the review on the products that I have received which are :
A'bloom Mask Sheets (Watermelon, Avocado, Lemon Lime, Peach),  A'bloom BHA Blackhead Blaster and the A'bloom Meringue Puffs.

The individual sheet masks are really cute and nice.  The ingredients for the sheet masks are similar except for star ingredients.  All the sheet masks contains  25g of essence for those that like to sheet mask longer.  The sheet masks are very thin but hold enough essence, soft and comfortable for 15 minutes of sheet masking.  The fit is good since it has many slits to make it easy to adjust on any face.   As for the size, it is average size of the usual sheet mask. It is not the biggest but not the smallest that I had tried since the sheet mask does have extra and is enough for my jaw.  For my acne prone skin, I prefer the Peach one since it contains peach and tea tree ingredients for my acne prone skin type.  The peach has slight subtle fragrance of cologne.  The transparent essence does hydrate and absorbs fast onto my skin and it is not sticky.

The sheet masks are really very affordable to for the price.  RM2 which is like USD0.50 so you can sheet masks every day.

The coloured highlighted is the one with ingredients in all the sheet masks

Ingredients: (Lemon Lime)
Water, Glycerin, Methylpropanediol, Niacinamide, Fraxinus Rhynchophylla Ocimum Basilicum (Basil) Flower/Leaf/Stem Extract, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Citrus Aurantifolia (Lime) Fruit Extract, Acmella Oleracea Extract, Citrus Limon (Lemon) Peel Limon (Lemon) Flower/Leaf/Stem Extract, Citrus Limon (Lemon) Fruit Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Citrus Limon (Lemon) Fruit Water, Citrus Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate, Acrylates/CIO-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer. Panthenol, Polyglyceryl-10 Myristate, Carbomer, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Disodium Edta, Fragrance, 1,2-Hexanediol Hydroxyacetophenone


Ingredients: (Peach)
Water, Glycerin, Methylpropanediol, Niacinamide, Fraxinus Rhynchophylla Ocimum Basilicum (Basil) Flower/Leaf/Stem Extract, Prunus Persica (Peach) Fruit Extract, Acmella Oleracea Extract,  melaleuca alternifolia (tea tree) leaf Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Trehalose,Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate, Tromethamine, Acrylates/CIO-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer. Panthenol, Polyglyceryl-10 Myristate, Carbomer, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Disodium Edta, Fragrance, 1,2-Hexanediol Hydroxyacetophenone



A'bloom BHA Blackhead Blaster comes in a cute stick which is easy to use actually. Just apply the stick on the face after washing the face. Then wash off the blackhead blaster with warm water.  It is gentle and remove blackhead painlessly.  However, if you have very dry skin, it is not recommended to use too often.  It has Natural BHA (White Willow Bark Extract 5,000ppm) which is suitable for oily or combination skin type.  I do like it since it does work to reduce the appearance of blackheads.  The effect last a few days so it is not really a permanent one time usage.

A'bloom  Blackhead Blaster Ingredients: Propylene Glycol, Sodium Stearate, Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Alcohol, Charcoal Powder, Alba (Willow) Bark Extract (5,000ppm), Prunus Armeniaca (Apricot) Seed Powder, Melaleuca Alternifolia  , Glycerin, Coco-Glucoside, PEG-40 Stearate, 1,2-Hexanedial Citric Acid, Disodium EDTA, Phenoxyethanal

A'bloom Meringue Puffs (Baby Meringue Puffs x3 + Giant Meringue Puff x1).  This is very cute dessert mkeup puff which are versatile puffs to use dry or wet.  Soak in water until the puff grow in size if you plan to use it wet.  It doesn't leave streak on the skin.  Use it dry for matte look and use it wet for that glowing makeup look.  The baby meringue puff makes it easy to reach the corner of the eyes and also blend easily for detailed application.  It is high density latex free foam and pretty easy to wash.



Overall, A'bloom is a affordable range of items especially for those who just started to learn how to achieve that nice Korean makeup without breaking your banks.  Beautiful makeup actually comes from having a good skincare routine and products to help achieve it.



Special promotions of 10+10 mask and free gift when you use the code ABMASKS
