Innisfree BEST & WORST (Non- Sponsored) Dr Vanita Rattan
- “It is quite nice and smooth”▶ 1:27
- “It's very thick so is going to be hydrating to the skin”▶ 1:30
- “The claim is it's a creamy cleansing foam with green tea that hydrates the skin while getting rid of dirt, so I can tell that that is actually spot on. They're not making false claims”▶ 1:33
- “It's got glycerin next, which is excellent”▶ 1:52
- “We've got myristic acid, which is three out of five on the comedogenic scale”▶ 2:07
- “Next ingredient here is lauric acid, which is four out of five on the comedogenic scale. Again, this is not good if you have oily acne-prone skin”▶ 2:39
- “They also added fragrance, which is such a disaster and really unnecessary”▶ 2:51
- “For skin of color, this is a disaster”▶ 3:04
- “This product is a hard no”▶ 3:40
- “It's a volcanic BHA pore cleansing foam and I can totally see that if you have large pores or you have oily acne prone skin this is going to be a really attractive product for you”▶ 6:38
- “It's very thick and heavy on the skin”
- “They've put in kin so kin is your clay it's very absorbent of oil plus I put in glycerin which I love”
- “Putting the two together is beautiful because you don't want to overly dry the skin with a clay mask or a clay wash so that's genius”
- “The two surfectants that I don't like is your Mystic acid and lauric acid so as we discussed these are comedogenic ingredients”
- “The spants you choose clog pores it just doesn't make any sense”▶ 6:09
- “The one good thing they have put in here is actually the be B so BHA is your salicylic acid it's a fat soluble acid however I would say that this is less than 1% which is not ideal”▶ 6:25
- “The other big disaster is they put in fragrance”▶ 6:45
- “Unfortunately this is another hard no”▶ 6:47
innisfree$14- “It's a little bit like glow recipes ni camide serum kind of pink and is more of a gel cleanser”▶ 7:23
- “The ingredients list is water and then glycerin which is fine”▶ 7:40
- “They've gone for the sodium cocoyl isethionate which is fine actually it's probably one of the best surfactants that they've got in here”▶ 7:44
- “There's actually nothing special in here either there's no actives that's going to help you with anything no brightening no anti-aging”▶ 7:50
- “With this it's a bit of a non-event”▶ 7:57
- “They then added fragrance so fragrance as you know can lead to contact dermatitis”▶ 7:59
- “For me again this is one to avoid”▶ 8:12
innisfree$30.00- “The packaging is beautiful, it is glass, it's heavy, it feels like luxury and they give you a good amount. I mean 80 MLS for a serum is a lot”▶ 10:39
- “The fifth ingredient in here is niacinamide, so that means it's about 1% maybe 2%”
- “They've gone for panthenol and allantoin which again I love and that is actually going to help with what they're saying by improving the skin barrier”▶ 11:00
- “The epic mistake that they made is that they then added lemon citrol and mena that was that really strong smell. These are all essential oils, they're all irritating to the skin”▶ 11:07
- “The vitamin C they put in 3-ethyl ascorbic acid, my favorite form of vitamin C, they've put in less than 1% so it's not even in the therapeutic index”▶ 11:16
- “Unfortunately this is a huge problem, a huge mistake”▶ 11:34
- “It's another hard no”
innisfree$22.40- “I love this at the top”
- “Beautiful packaging”
- “They have gone for pepet which is a problem because look I'm doing this look how much oxygen is now surrounding the vitamin C”▶ 12:35
- “Vitamin C is an antioxidant it oxidizes in oxygen and becomes ineffective”▶ 12:47
- “This is why you always choose a vitamin C that's in an airless pump”▶ 12:56
- “In here they it's naife safe there's no Dage alcohol no fragrance and no essential oils so that's fantastic”▶ 13:40
- “They've gone in for 30 ethos scoring acid beautiful vitamin C and it's a ingredients so you're looking at a good 2 to 3% this in the therapeutic index again great percentage”▶ 13:53
- “I would say I love this formula but I hate the packaging”▶ 14:03
- “If in a free put this into an airless pump I would recommend it for you but as it is as it stands as beautiful as the packaging is this is not one I would use for my face or recommend to my Global skin of color family”
- “It blends really nicely into the skin”▶ 14:52
- “The fourth ingredient in here is niacinamide which I love”▶ 15:54

- “That can actually lead to premature aging of the skin, the exact opposite of what you're trying to achieve with the serum”▶ 18:14
- “This product is also a hard no”▶ 18:20
- “That is beautiful packaging”▶ 18:30
- “It's more of a gel-based cream. It's got antioxidants, so it's got black tea in it, which is a beautiful ingredient”▶ 20:24
- “The thing with antioxidants is it should be in airless packaging, so this obviously is not”▶ 20:31
- “There's nothing in here that's anti-aging, and so I feel like that's sort of a fake claim, and I don't like fake claims”▶ 20:44
- “Actually more likely to irritate the skin and age the skin because of the fragrance”▶ 20:55
- “This is another no”
innisfree$18.00- “Very lightweight, much lighter than the other cream. Blends easily into the skin”▶ 21:52

- “After an hour your skin is going to start to feel tight”
- “Unfortunately this is another no”▶ 24:03
- “It's got butylene glycol so that's a humectant, then it's got propanediol that's your solvent, then it's got panthenol which is anti-inflammatory, it's got glycerin another humectant, then it's got your green tea extract which is your anti-inflammatory”▶ 24:36
- “I love green tea generally, it's such a beautiful product for skin of color, it helps with hyperpigmentation”
