Innisfree Jeju Volcanic Pore Scrub Foam Review

   Hello dearies! I'm back after 2 weeks of lazy sickness. Today I will review one of the products included in Innisfree's Jeju Volcanic line- Jeju Volcanic Pore Scrub Foam. This scrub foam claims to remove dirt from inside the pores and dead skin cells with volcanic clusters in 1-2 uses per week. 

   The packaging is made of a sturdy recycled plastic tube with 150ml contents inside. The actual product is colored ligh brown and has some volcanic scoria clusters. It has tiny beads that you can feel once you apply the product. The scrub beads melt easily and is not abrasive. It turns into a foamy lather when mixed with water. It has a light fresh scent that I like. The whole jeju volcanic line smells the same. I seldom use this product because I prefer a more abrasive scrub hehehe. This product doesn't dry skin and is mild. It never caused my skin to have bumps or whiteheads. Anyway, I might use this as a substitute for my Jeju Volcanic Pore Cleansing Foam when it runs out since it isn't abrasive at all.

PROS:

- nice fresh scent

- mild

- doesn't cause breakouts

- a little amount goes a long way

- perfect for oily skin

CONS:

- it didn't feel like my skin was exfoliated after use

- little sebum control

- blackheads are not reduced 

- the scrub particles melt easily so it didn't reach other areas of my face

- can be purchased online (in the Phils.)

   Overall, I am quite disappointed in this product. I love Innisfree especially its Jeju Volcanic line but I have to make this an exemption to that. It failed to meet my expectations. I have used other face scrubs in the past and this is the only one that I didn't feel any effect after scrubbing my face. Repurchase? No. I give this product a 3 out of 5.

Innisfree Fest 3: Jeju Volcanic Pore Solution Kit Review

    We are on the last part of our Innisfree Fest but I hope there will be more Innisfree products to come to my possession. Hihihi. Who knows?! Santa might grant my wish this X'mas right? 

      

     Anyway, today our part 3 will be the Jeju Volcanic Pore Solution Kit. The contents of this kit are miniature versions of the line's toner, lotion, and emulsion. Koreans are not into shortcuts when it comes to skin care. I mean facial wash, toner, and a moisturizer is enough right? They are into multi-step beauty routine. Like the facial wash, this kit is focused on controlling oil and pore care.

     I got this kit from hellogorgeous17. I don't exactly know if this kit is still available in Innisfree. I have read that Innisfree sells testers and tester kits. Cool right? I mean if you are a fan of Innisfree you are aware how much their products costs. This line is one of their best sellers and one of the expensive line (huhuhuhu...). It is a nice idea that you can use not just one of  the line's product at a fraction of a cost or for free.

Here's how the big ones look like. And I want to have them all!!!!

     I don't use the kit like everyday because it is so small. I just use it when I plan to go out (`1st step before makeup) for oil-control. To be honest I saw/felt its effect on the first use. I used it after taking a bath and it really kept oiliness at bay. I mean, of course there will always be a little production of oil on the T-zone, chin, and nose. But everytime I use this the secretion's cut in half. Like really!!!! And because of that I am sooooo hoping to have the big ones this X'mas. Ummmmm....ok the lotion and emulsion and masque are fine. Hahaha!

     (Again) this product is meant for individuals with oily or combination skin. Peeps with normal or dry skin's fine to use this but there are Innisfree products which are more suitable for you guys like the Green Tea line. Innisfree's got products for every skin concern. I would love to have them on my X'mas stocking (am I overemphasizing this or what?). But since the big ones are not budget-friendly, I am still weighing things down and seeking help whether to buy this or the Green Persimmon line which is almost the same as Jeju Volcanic line but instead on focusing on sebum control, it targets pore reduction (yessssss!!!). I give this baby a whopping 5 out of 5 rating. A freakin' must try!!!!

Innisfree Fest 2: Jeju Volcanic Pore Cleansing Foam Review

     This is part 2 of 3 of my Innisfree Fest post and today I will be featuring another product very suitable for people with oily or combination skin, the Jeju Volcanic Pore Cleansing Foam.

     This is the first step of the Jeju Volcanic line (obviously you need to wash your face first right?). The main ingredient of this cleanser Jeju Volcanic Cluster. Volcanic clusters have strong oil/sebum absorptive ability and is effective in removing oil and trouble- causing impurities in pores. According to the Innisfree website, this is a pore cleansing foam with Jeju volcanic clusters to attach to sebum and purify pores. I bought this baby from hellogorgeous17, one of my "suking" seller. I purchased it because it suits my skin condition and there are a lot of positive reviews about it. But is my opinion gonna be the same as other bloggers' opinion. We'll find out.

     Above are pictures of the product. I bought the 150 ml size to test whether it will suit me or not. This is also available in 300 ml. The content is white with little red brown beads which I guess are the volcanic stuff. This baby lathers a lot but not in a super bubble fest kind of way. Just a little amount (I use a size as little as my pinkie nail) can cover my entire face and neck. 

     The top picture is my hand with some hard to remove lippies and eyeliner. If you will look closely there is still a very small amount of the pink lipstick. The one below is me. Left pics are before and those at the right are the after. I don't know if you will notice but the reddish area are not that noticeable and my face became a bit brighter. Yesterday my husband used it and I noticed that his skin became brighter and pores became a bit smaller. You see it is easier to observe other people's face than my own. And what's that pink heart-shaped thing ? Well, it is my ever-reliable silicone face brush. I use that when my face and neck is already filled with suds. 

PROS

- a tiny amount is all you need to clean your face and neck

- controls oil production compared to what I was using before

- no harmful ingredients 

- makes skin bright and smooth

- the volcanic clusters are gentle on skin

- reasonably priced (PhP 400 for a 150 ml tube) for an Innisfree product

CONS

- it break me out a bit (like 2 tiny pimples)

- may dry your skin

- available online (I hope there will be an Innisfree store here in the Philippines)

- some may find it expensive  for a facial foam/wash

     To sum things up...I recommend this facial foam to people like me suffering from excess oil/sebum on their faces. If you have dry or normal skin it's fine to use this as long as you use it like once a day and apply a moisturizer. I give this baby a 4 1/2  out of 5!
