Innisfree Soybean Energy Essence Review

Hello everyone.. This is Soojung.. ^^

This seems we'll do a lot of product review for this month,since we bought a lot of innisfree product. So i hope you like it. ^^

When we talk about innisfree,what's the best product category in their brand?skincare?base make up?color make up?body?hair?tools or sun care product? 

After we tried many product from them and read other blog,i can say innisfree is the best for skincare and base make up. We never feel disappointing when we tried their skincare and base make up. <3

When i want to buy new product from them i always check the smile rating in their website.
http://innisfree.co.kr

This rating are come from innisfree's customer who write review in their website.. More happy the smile,more high their rating. With these smile,we customers feel more easily to find great/good/so-so/bad product.
Of course not every product have smile like that..few are get bad expression. Last time i read one reason why they give bad expression and it's not because their product bad on skin but because they find a dried caterpillar in innisfree cotton pad. Well..this must be because some mistake on their factory,but if you see the good side from this experience.."Oh then innisfree are true about their 100% natural cotton pad till' a caterpillar still in their cotton pad". :D
This is what we like about innisfree eco friendly campaign.

Then..what product that have a big happy smille ? 

That product is "Innisfree Soybean Energy Essence"

Innisfree Soybean Energy Essence is included in First Treatment Essence skincare category.

First treatment Essence seems really popular since SK II FTE,a lot of korean brand made their FTE ingredients according to SK II FTE. If you already watch Hover unnie video about SK II FTE dupe,you will know few product that silmilar to SK II product.Then..What's first treatmeant essence? If i see in Missha First treatmeant essence,FTE is :

- Highly concentrated essential essence for recovering rhythm of skin

- Essential essence applying at the first step of skin care for firming foundation of skin

- Booster essence to help synergy of skin care

if you see those explanation,you can say FTE is first skincare that you use after cleansing and before toner/skin and it'll help other skincare function.But if i learn from other explanation,first treatment essence is an essence that must use at first skincare step because after cleansing your pores are still "open" so the essence will absorb to your skin completely.Also because they contains highly concentrated ingredients it'll repair your skin more intense.Few brand are contains galactomyces,bifida,black sea cucumber or fermented ingredients. All almost have similar function,moisture,whitening and anti-wrinkle.

Innisfree Soybean Energy Essence is one of SK II FTE "dupe" that i choose to tried out. Let's see the description of product from innisfree global website.Sorry if you can see clearly. Click the picture for better resolution. 

Lazy to read all? this is the point :

- This product contains 91% fermented Jeju soybean concentrate to promote healthy and vibrant skin

 - The main fuction is whitening and anti wrinkle

- It also purify dull skin tone and refine unbalanced skin texture 

- Firm skin barrier to protect your skin from external aggressors

- 6 in 1 functional skincare

- Give soothing & moisturizing effect to illuminate & smooth your skin

- You can use in 2 way :

1. Use cotton pad when your skin feels rough & dull.it'll help to refine old dead skin cells for creating clear skin

2. Use your hand when you witness wrinkle & dryness. Your body temperature will helps formula to absorb into skin and make your skin feeling soft and sleek.

- The texture absolutely not sticky and very light,it looks like toner but have gluey substance.Perfect for hot days and oily skin. But it also can provide moisture to dry skin.

When it arrive,my friend stuff are leaked everywhere and destroy soybean energy essence paper box. it erase the soybean ink and made some letter disappear. T_T

I bought the mini size of this product since i'm a college student who have tight budget. The mini size is 80ml.

This is the explanation on the back + ingredients.First ingredients is bacillus soybean ferment extract for firming and on third ingredients there's arbutin for whitening.

This product have 5 free system 

Fragrance, animal ingredient, mineral oil, artificial colors, and acrylamide

The bottle are made from recycleable plastic which like glass bottle. I personally like the packaging since it really innisfree like.hwhw. 

The texture are like gluey toner,translucent and no fragrance at all. it like water if you not touch. The texture are similar to Hada Labo lotion.Very light and not sticky at all. Suitable for me who have combination oily skin. XD

Result on my face

 (i use it for 3 days,i promise to review it after 1 week but i can't wait..hehe)

- Firming my skin very well..my skin looks more healthy and young (how old i am??) since my pore get more tight. Don't be disappointing if you don't feel anything at first use.At first minute use, i also didn't feel any instant difference on my face (like more supple or something else)..but after few minute,i feel my skin more smooth..and it'll stay all day long if you use it in the morning. If you use at night,it will still smooth (even more smooth) in the morning.You can see the different before and after you use it very clearly day by day. (it always happen when i use innisfree product <3). You know many korean actress/actor/idol's skin are very tight and very smooth right? my skin texture almost like that now (still have few acne scar so not perfect). Also i think it because innisfree wine peeling jelly softener,but even i didn't do my peeling routine..soybean energy essence still smoothing my face (i already prove it). Maybe it's because soybean energy essence can use as peeling too.

- Brighten my skin tone. This effect also not instantly appear after you use it..i usually use this at night,and in the morning my face will shining XD 

- It didn't break me out. Please be careful..Some people can't use fermented extract product at all. It'll irritate your skin and make everything more worse. So if you want tp try fermented extract product like this,make sure that you have tried another fermented extract product before and you're fine with that. Luckily,it didn't irritate my skin and i really happy with the result.(even though i never tried another fermented product). Anyway since it's innisfree,you can little bit feel assured to try out.^^

- Very hydrated. My skin not a dry type,and i don't need very moisturizing product. I just need hydrated product to maintain moisture level on my skin. Many oily skin people didn't realize that their skin get dehydrated because bad excess oil which come out. They feel don't need hydrated their skin and it get more severe. Have you guys ever feel your skin feel rough but oil still come out a lot? that called dehydrated oily skin. You need some product that can hydrated your skin while also control your sebum level. And i think this product including in that category. But if you want hydrated & cool product,you can choose gel type moisturizer product.

- UPDATED : Control my excessive oil. My skin usually will produce some excess oil in the morning,but lately i can't found any excess oil on my face.
My skin seems turn into normal skin type. 

About the price,some of you maybe already know how expensive FTE product. Because i bought the mini size and when it on sale,i get this product at 15.000 won (not including other cost). Local online shop are sell the big size at 370.000 -390.000 and mini size at 240.000-280.000.

This is my first FTE and i LOVE LOVE LOVE it. Very satisfied. XD

5/5 !! (Can i give 6/5?hwhwhw)

Sorry if i talk to much.. ^^

See you in next post. <3
