innisfree Perfect 9 Intensive Skin

What is this product?

innisfree's Perfect 9 Intensive Skin is worth it for the filing rather than the Jeju botanicals: it holds a dual wrinkle and brightening functional notice (202100934739) with niacinamide sixth and adenosine twenty first of 42 ingredients. The nine ingredient Jeju complex the name is built on all sits from position 28 down, and the cauliflower mushroom extract is printed last of the 42, after the preservative. Skip it if alcohol, fragrance or silicone texture is a problem, because denatured alcohol is printed third and a fragrance compound fifteenth, with limonene, linalool and citronellol declared separately.

What makes it different?

At 200mL this is a gel rather than a water toner, and the label shows why: dimethicone fourth, cyclopentasiloxane seventh, cyclohexasiloxane tenth and dimethiconol nineteenth build a film, which is what makes it feel substantial and what makes it the toner most likely to roll under a sunscreen. The brand names all nine complex ingredients individually, which is unusual and lets you check them, and eight map cleanly onto the label while 복분자 appears only as an unspecified 라즈베리추출물. innisfree publishes no amount for any of the 42 entries, no pH, and no panel size, institution or result for the dermatological test it cites while recommending the product for sensitive skin.

Ingredients with no mark are ones we found nothing notable about, and when marks overlap on one ingredient we show the caution first.

We could not place these in the list above: PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Sorbitan Isostearate, Polysorbate 60

Did the ad claims hold up?
