The Key To Lesser Maskne Frequency + Innisfree NEW Green Tea Seed Serum Biome Review

One of the main reasons why most of us experience frequent recurrence of Maskne is because our skin barrier is being weakened by face mask usage. All that friction, rubbing, poking, and pressure on the skin caused by face masks are making our skin barrier weaker, therefore more prone to breakouts and—you’ve guessed it, MASKNE. Overuse of manual and chemical exfoliants can also lead to a weakened skin barrier, which can result to Maskne as well.

A strong skin barrier is important because it prevents moisture loss and bacterial invasion, which can all result to breakouts, Maskne, and dull, dry skin.

But how do we make the skin barrier stronger? One word:

HYDRATION.

It is important to keep your skin hydrated by drinking lots of water to hydrate and nourish your skin cells from within so it can stay healthy and function normally. It is also important to keep your skin hydrated (and moisturized) on the outside to keep it supple, soft, pliable, and to mainly prevent the epidermis from becoming dehydrated due to water evaporation, which can weaken the skin barrier.

In skin care, it’s also ideal to look for formulas with a moisturizing, hydrating consistency and a good concentration of hydrating ingredients to ensure that the needs of your skin barrier are met; and in this time when we are experiencing an onslaught of skin problems due to face mask usage, it’s also ideal to use skin care that have all of these, plus comfortable to wear under the mask too!

In the spirit of innovation, Innisfree has pushed the boundaries once again while still staying true to their sustainable, earth- inspired values by improving their cult favorite Green Tea Seed Serum. Introducing GREEN TEA SEED SERUM BIOME.

What’s so new and special about this product? It’s Innisfree’s foray into the world of Plant Probiotics. Probiotics is one of the popular ingredients in skin care nowadays and Innisfree has harnessed once again the power of plants, particularly Green Tea, to deliver intense nourishment and hydration to the skin through probiotics.

I’ve used Innisfree Green Tea Seed Serum before along with the entire Green Tea Seed range and I remember loving the serum because it’s extremely light, hydrating, and most importantly, no breakouts from it.

Innisfree NEW Green Tea Seed Serum Biome features Green Tea Pre-Pro and Postbiotics from fermented dissolution of Green Tea that promotes intense, instant and long- lasting hydration, helps build a healthy skin barrier, and promotes healthy, water- glowing skin. The new formula has a three- tier effect on the skin: PENETRATE-LOCK-ACTIVATE: penetrate the skin with hydration and moisture, lock hydration on and within the skin, and activate the probiotic ingredients on the skin to promote lasting hydration.

The serum has a light, emulsion- like feel and an invigorating green tea scent. It’s lightweight, refreshing, and gives my skin a cool feel. Upon application, I immediately feel that it hydrates my skin and don’t be fooled by its light consistency-this one moisturizes well! It sets efficiently and leaves my skin supple and dewy; it’s not heavy on the skin, making it great for usage under makeup or face mask.

I’ve been using this serum consistently for over a week now and what I immediately noticed is my skin looks less dry and it’s always plump and dewy. I’m getting less Maskne lately so I guess that’s the serum at work in keeping my skin barrier healthy! And since this formula has Green Tea plant probiotics, it looks like my skin feels and looks more nourished than what it was two weeks prior to using the product.

But to be honest with you, I was a bit hesitant to use this product at first when I read that it has probiotics and can be likened to fermented skin care. FYI, fermented skin care makes use of live bacteria. I’ve used fermented skin care before and my skin could never find a formula that it won’t break out from, thus I believed that fermented skin care is not suitable for me until I have used this one that utilizes plant probiotics. No break outs after more than a week of day and night usage, therefore I now think that plant probiotics are better for me!

Innisfree NEW Green Tea Seed Serum Biome is a great hydrating, nourishing serum that helps strengthen your skin to help minimize the occurrence of maskne; it’s ideal for normal, dry, and even oily skin types because the consistency is universally good for almost all skin types. And if you’re like me who breaks out from traditional fermented skin care and skin care with live bacteria probiotics, try plant probiotics such as this one!
