innisfree Green Tea Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Cream

Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read

Read on 2026-09-22

What is this product?

A hydrating cream built on five hyaluronic acid forms (from position 23), green tea seed oil, squalane, panthenol and a lactobacillus ferment, aimed at daily moisture and barrier care. Numeric test results are printed without method or panel details, so treat the numbers as brand figures.

What makes it different?

The formula spreads five hyaluronic acid derivatives starting at position 23 and pairing them with ceramide NP, cholesterol and phytosphingosine for barrier support. Squalane and green tea seed oil sit in the top of the list as the main emollients, and the base is silicone and ester driven with no drying alcohol. Essential oils and fragrance allergens (lemon peel, spearmint, citronella, galbanum, limonene, citral, linalool) appear, which reactive skin should weigh. Concentrations are not printed for any active.
