Ehrmm, okay. This time I'm going to talk about an innisfree product, the Jejubija Anti-Trouble Lotion! This is essentially a moisturizer, with an extra capability: to fight skin troubles! I read from other blogs that Koreans doesn't say zit or acne, they call them trouble. Well, it is trouble all right. Oh yeah, innisfree is a Korean brand (i love Korean brands, they're cheaper) whose spoke-person is SNSD YoonA! Love her. So damn beautiful.
Here's what it claims to do: "Enriched with torreya seed extract from pure jeju island, Jejubija Anti-Trouble helps control blemish for clear skin".
So the trouble here obviously doesn't include pore troubles, blackheads, etc. Just blemish a.k.a acne a.k.a zits.
Here's what it looks like.
It comes in a 100 ml tube, and I think it's quite hygienic. It doesn't leave a mess, as long as you don't squeeze the tube like you're squeezing lemons. LOL.
Here's the lotion part. Pardon the hairs >.<
It's not creamy, quite watery but not runny.
The scent is herbal-like, like lavender or something, and for me it is not disturbing. The smell pretty much disappear once you lather them onto your skin. However, fresh from the tube, the smell is quite strong.
I have a sensitive nose. I can't stand most perfume and weird smell, also dust. They make me sneeze uncontrollably. So, I guess it's safe to say that if my nose doesn't react to this smell, it most likely is safe for other people's nose. LOL.
What I really love about this lotion is that it has a cooling effect, which never hurt, since I live in a tropical country. It's hot all the time, and this really helps cool my face before I put on make-up, or before I went to sleep.
Also, it has calming or soothing effect to the skin, partly maybe because it's cooling. It doesn't sting, even if your skin is thin, or if you have some sort of wound on your face (in my experience).
As for the moisturizing and anti-trouble effect, let me just tell you about my skin first, since everyone's skin is different. Originally, I have no acne or acne trouble. I have combination skin, oily around the T-zone and extremely dry and flaky cheeks and temples.
It helps quite a bit for my dry-flaky skin, and for my oily parts it also works wonders. Sadly, it doesn't eliminate my dry skin problem though. But I have just the cream for that, I'll review them later!
For the anti-trouble part, well, at least it doesn't break me out. However, I notice I have smaller pores, but I don't know if it was really thanks to this lotion because I use a lot of products.
One other thing that I really like about this lotion is that it really smooths your skin! My skin feels really smooth and great and healthy right after I use this. I think this also helps when I put on my make-up, like it's creating a clean and smooth canvas for me to paint on. :D Oh, and it also absorbs quite quickly and doesn't leave a greasy or sticky film.
So, here's the conclusion:
(+)
for people with normal to oily skin and they who want to have fabulous skin before putting on make-up
calming, soothing, and cooling effects
not greasy nor sticky
absorbs quickly
nice smell, though maybe not for all
lots of products in a 100 ml tube!
(--)
none for me! but maybe not for people with extremely dry skin, or people who's seeking for moisturizer for winter-time. I think this is not strong enough for that job.
That all being said, this is by far my favorite maintenance moisturizer. Meaning, when my skin is not flaky and dry, I can use this and be happy with my skin.
innisfree has a whole line dedicated to Anti-Trouble therapy, such as toner, serum, etc, but I've never use the others.
I rate this 4 out of 5!
Will I repurchase? Yes! However I don't think this tube will be empty soon, since there's so many products in one tube! Love!
