|
| Verdict | A competent antioxidant serum that rides on Innisfree's green tea heritage. The formulation is solid — green tea extract for antioxidant protection, niacinamide for brightening, sodium hyaluronate for hydration. Nothing revolutionary, but it's a reliable daily antioxidant step at a reasonable mid-range price. | At-home microneedling in a bottle. The spicules are made from freshwater sponges and feel like tiny prickles as you massage them in — the sensation is alarming the first time but completely normal. Over 4-8 weeks, it genuinely improves texture, reduces pore visibility, and smooths scarring. Start with the 100 concentration before graduating to 300 or 700. |
