Welcome, December. Goodbye, November! And hey there, fellow bumblebees! I am back with skincare product review, this time it's from the Korean road shop brand; Innisfree. So yaaay to my first Innisfree review ever! *Wait~ Where have you been, Mitch?* However, before we begin, I'd like to make it clear that this wasn't my first time trying Innisfree product :D I made a purchase of their Jeju Volcanic Nose Pack too, but it was meh, and to be honest I don't really like writing such negativity so I decided not to review it. It was such a shame since the Jeju Volcanic range caught my attention more than the others.

Innisfree Bija Anti-Trouble Facial Foam.
First of all, you must be wondering what Bija is. I googled it and found a wikipedia about Bija and apparently it literally means 'seed'. In this case, Innisfree uses Torreya Seed Oil. If you're interested, here's a picture of the Bija from their website. This nutmeg is a rare ingredient that can only be used after it has endured 20 years of survival in the wild. Its hardy properties allow for the skin to be gently smoothed and for the skin's natural defense system to be enhanced.
What I like about all Innisfree product is that they only use natural derived ingredients and the skincare would usually be free of synthetic colorants, mineral oil, animal-originated ingredients, artificial fragrances, and imidazolidinyl urea. Just like this facial foam!

With just a pea-size, the thick creamy formula foams easily. It has a pearly white color and smells so organically fresh. It doesn't sting when I'm lathering it around my eye area, there's a slight of minty effect, but it feels so gentle, and does a great job at cleansing. I recommend to use this with facial brush too, because it can perform a better job at cleansing makeup residue.
After rinsing, it left my skin feeling clean and fresh. The only downside is, it gives me that tightness feeling to the normal part of my oily combination skin. I guess those with oily skin will love this facial foam.
Regarding the controlling blemish, yes it works! I don't have a big pimple to begin with *don't jinx!*. But there was a time when I developed some tiny bumps on my forehead as a consequence of threading, and before I put some herbal ointment, I used this facial foam, voila~ on the next day, they disappeared. The herbal ointment doesn't work that amazing usually, though. Oh moreover, this facial foam can control my hormonal acne too.
All in all, it's a nice facial foam with such affordable price for 150ml size that would suit oily skin type with least blemish concern. But would I repurchase it? I'm the type who can't stick to one thing unless I don't find any dislike in it. Therefore, I don't think so, but we'll see :)

GOT7 - She's A Monster.
Frankly, I like GOT7 because of Jackson in it. I've never imagined I'd like this guy. He was born in freaking 1994 just so you know! First saw him in the variety show; Roommate season 2, and I thought he was funny, hyperactive, such a dork LOL. Not to mention he looks like ManSe (yes one of those adorably cute triplets, the maknae!) Back to the topic, I have been listening to this song for a week!! It's just one of my favorites from their album, Identify. They recently released a new MV Stop Stop It, but there's something that entertains me more than that, hohoho, yeaaah, the dance practice session... Ok. I feel like a pedonoona now. Bye~!
This product sounds so promising!

This facial foams sounds lovely. I've always wanted to try Innisfree products but they're not that readily available in the US.
ReplyDeletecontrol hormonal acne, mmm i shuld try this one !!
ReplyDeleteAMOURPIXIE
I love trying out new things too! Though I'm currently stick to my facial solid bar soap. :P But this one looks good...

I was wondering what bija was until I saw you had explained what it was! Crazy how it needs to be in the wild for 20 years before being used. Thanks for this review - I'm always looking for facial foams :3
ReplyDeleteawesome review and pictures. i always wanted to try innisfree products, but haven't as of yet. i don't know if this formula would work for me because i have sensitive and dry skin.

I always find it hard to get a good cleanser because I have combination skin and it is very sensitive. This sounds nice, I like moisturising foam washes that give moisture and tighten Lucy
ReplyDeleteGreat and very detailed review mich
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great product that I would love to try

I love natural skincare too, but I don't usually use these types of foams because like you experienced I hate that tight feeling (I'm normal-combo as well!)
ReplyDeleteThis sounds so lovely and it looks like it's really deep-cleansing and nice on the skin! :)
ReplyDeleteLove your blog as I find out about brands that aren't so available here in the UK! :)

You should definitely try out their clay mask from if you're interested in the Jeju volcanic line! It's awesome :) This foam sounds great for summer but it may be too drying for winter I guess.
ReplyDeletegreat review. sounds like a good product for oily skin.

ReplyDeleteThis sounds great! haha the part with the dont jinx was funny :)
ReplyDeleteVievelle
I'm not familiar with this brand and I really liked reading your review. Don't think this would be a great product for me though, I have skin prone to dryness so this might not be the right fit for me!

I’m currently using the green tea foam cleanser by Innisfree and I like it a lot. It’s a shame this one the skin feel tight after. I just got a tiny trial size Etude House AC clinic foam cleanser and the three times I used it didn’t make my skin feel tight, like other foam cleansers sometimes do, something that surprised me a lot, in a good way.
ReplyDeleteWonderful review!
I also want to apologize for my absence, but a lot of bad things have happened it’s been hard to deal with and I couldn’t blog about it and warn everyone, because it’s very personal and I don’t want certain people to read it. So for that I’m truly sorry. But it’s always nice to be back, check the blogs and talk to everyone!
Kisses and take care.
Happy Holidays!

I think it's the skin that adapting the cleanser :) I tried the sample size of Innisfree green tea seed cream and loved it. I'd probably purchase their green tea line because it smells so good. Hope you're doing great, dear. Happy holidays too!
DeleteThis looks like a great blemish control cream. I get the occasional breakouts, and try to use a gentle cream to clear them.
ReplyDeleteBright Shiny Day
The foamy texture is so interesting and I love the fact it's efficient on hormonal acne.
