WHERE TO BUY?
I got all of these products from Jolse.com, which is an online website which sells Korean beauty products. I have heard a lot about this shop and especially about the massive amount of samples that they give to their customers at every purchase O.O. I mentioned this in my previous Innisfree review before, but since it's from the same haul, I'm mentioning it again. Just wait until the end of this blogpost and you will see. The assortment from Jolse is huge and their products are sold for a reasonable price too. They sell the green tea balancing skin (link to product) for $17.98, the green tea balancing lotion (link to product) for $17.98 and the green tea moisture essence (link to product) for $17.08. They offer worldwide free shipping without a minimum purchase so you don't need to expect extra costs with your purchase, YAY!

INNISFREE GREEN TEA LINES
If you are looking for Innisfree skincare products with green tea extracts, you might want to check their green tea skin care lines first before you purchase. They offer products for different kind of skin types, I seriously want to try the whole balancing, moisture and seed line:
• Oily Skin: The Green Tea Fresh Line
• Normal to Combination Skin: The Green Tea Balancing Line
• Dry Skin: The Green Tea Moisture Line
• Dehydrated skin : The Green Tea Seed Line (Special Moisturizing and Nourishing Care Line)
5-FREE
It's stated on their website that all of these products are 5-free: free of sulfate surfactants, mineral oil, animal ingredients, colorant and synthetic fragrance.
SCENT
I've tried products from their balancing, moisture line and their green tea seed line. All of these lines seems to have the same scent, which is the fresh green tea scent that I LOVE!
.
INNISFREE GREEN TEA BALANCING SKIN
The green tea balancing skin is a moisturizing and nourishing toner with fresh green tea & green tea seeds from Jeju Island. It's rich in amino acid and minerals which will keep the skin moisturized. The natural moisturizing factor betaine from the amino acids provide intense moisture to restore the skin's natural oil-moisture balance.
PACKAGING
It comes in a plastic green packaging and it includes 200ml of product. I'm loving their simple green packaging!
.
TEXTURE
It's a toner and has a water-like texture but thicker. It feels cool, fresh and light on the face. It applies smoothly and absorbs fast without any stickiness. (The texture and product makes me think of the Hada Labo lotion.)
.
HOW TO USE
Twist the cap open and take an adequate amount on your palm and spread softly on the face and neck to allow the skin to fully absorb the toner. Only 2-3 drops are needed for the entire face and neck - that's not much! I think this bottle will last for a long time!
– usage order: serum > balancing skin > lotion > cream

FINAL THOUGHTS
What can I say.. I just LOVE THIS PRODUCT! This toner makes my skin feeling balanced. It feels very cooling and light on the face. It's easy to spread, not sticky, absorbs quickly, the green tea scent is lovely and I only use 2 drops per usage! I use it day and night and will keep using and definitely will repurchase it.
INNISFREE GREEN TEA BALANCING LOTION
This soft lotion is formulated with pure moisture from their freshly squeezed green tea from Jeju Island to replenish dewiness deep into the skin. This product is great in combination with the green tea balancing skin.
.
PACKAGING
It comes in a plastic green packaging and it includes 160ml of product in it. The opening is bigger than the balancing skin since this texture is thicker and not as liquid like water. You need to squeeze the bottle a bit to get the product out. I think it will be hard to get all of it out, you probably need to cut the packaging open when you're reaching the bottom.
.
TEXTURE
The texture is milky, non sticky and it absorbs quickly. I'm amazed that you only need 2 drops of this lotion. You can definitely FEEL that this product makes your skin feel moist after application. Just look at it below - this is just one drop!
.
HOW TO USE
Twist the cap open and put an adequate amount on your palm and spread softly on the face and neck to allow the skin to fully absorb. Only 2-3 drops are needed for the entire face and neck.
– usage order: serum > balancing skin > lotion > cream

FINAL THOUGHTS
This is a great lotion which will keep the skin moist! This is definitely a good product for people with a combination dry skin - it just gives your dry areas a MOIST BOOST! I'm using this product day and night on my dry cheeks and it keeps my skin balanced. The only downside is the packaging. It's hard to get all of the product out when you are reaching the bottom since it's not liquid like water. Also the opening is larger than normal, so it's possible that you're getting too much product out than preferred.
.
INNISFREE GREEN TEA MOISTURE ESSENCE
This is a highly concentrated essence with eco-friendly Jeju fresh green tea to protect the skin from drying. This moisture essence is from their moisture line which is for people with a dry skin. Just like the previous 2 products, it's enriched with squeezed green tea and green complex from Jeju Island to keep your skin moist.
.
PACKAGING
It comes in a hard plastic packaging and a pump, so it's easy to get the product out and you can decide yourself how much product you want. It contains 50ml of product.
TEXTURE
This essence has a creamy texture. It's easy to spread and absorbs quickly. The finish is lovely - it makes my skin very soft! You only need 1-2 pumps and that's enough for your entire face and neck, it's super concentrated!
.
HOW TO USE
Put 1-2 pumps on your fingers and spread softly on the face and neck to allow the skin to fully absorb. According to their description on the packaging you can use this after the balancing skin.
– usage order: serum > balancing skin > essence > cream
INGREDIENTS
FINAL THOUGHTS
I noticed at once that this essence is very concentrated, you only need 1-2 pumps per usage! The green tea scent is lovely, just like the other 2 products. It's not sticky, absorbs quickly and keeps my skin moist. The thing that I love the most is the soft silky finish that you get after application. Sometimes I'm using the essence instead of the balancing lotion and when my skin feels very dry I even use both!
DO I RECOMMEND THESE PRODUCTS?
DEFINITELY! I LOVEEEE the products that I tried, it just makes my skin moist and balanced. The green tea scent is fresh and nice (I LOVE IT!). All of these products are non sticky, has a lovely finish and the consistency is pretty concentrated so not much product is needed. It just does what it says, which is keeping my skin moist! Out of the 3 I'm loving the green tea balancing skin the most, the cooling effect is just so lovely after the shower and my skin feels balanced right away!
What can I say more? I just love all of them and recommend all 3 for people with a dry or combination dry skin. I can't wait to give all of the other Innisfree skincare products a try.
