I received the Innisfree Hydrating cleanser in one of my Nykaa Pink boxes. I have taken my own sweet time to warm up with the product and I am not sure still if I like it or not. As far as Innisfree as a brand is concerned, I have only used Innisfree clay mask.

Packaging, Texture and Fragrance
The product is housed in a 150 gms tube which is huge to carry around while travelling. The tube is plastic, flip top cap and works good. The face cleanser has a silky texture and consistency is creamy like a shaving cream. It looks shiny and is white in colour. The product has remarkable fragrance that feels fresh while using the face wash.
My experience with Innisfree Hydrating Cleanser
The face wash lathers up in a creamy foam that just increases in quantity as you keep on rubbing it between the palms. A pea sized quantity is enough for daily use of face. The product just glides on the face and cleanses the skin without drying it out. I have tried the face in Bangalore hard water, and it just didn’t lather up neither did it cleaned my face. So please remember to use this face wash only in soft water supply.
Now for my oily acne prone skin this feels nothing, apart from looking fresh. It is a hydrating cleanser so it’s better suited for dry, normal skin types than oily ones. However, I like to use it in between my routine especially as a morning cleanser whenever I follow Fiddy Snail’s Deep Pore Cleansing method. Because once I follow the method, my skin has minimised pore and whiteheads and this works well for a few days.
As soon as my whiteheads start showing up then I switch my morning cleanser to something that makes my face squeaky clean. On some occasions when I wash my face more than thrice a day, then I try to inculcate this face wash so that my skin doesn’t feel dried out. So I can’t say whether I like the cleanser or not, on some day I do, on other days I don’t.
Innisfree Green Tea Hydrating Amino Acid Foam Cleanser Review
Innisfree Hydrating cleanser is a good cleanser for dry, normal skin types as it has a creamy foam that keeps the skin hydrating while gently cleansing it. It will not suit oily, combination skin at all as it doesn’t give any squeaky clean feeling. I like using the cleanser in my morning routine or whenever I wash my face more than twice a day. I wish the product was available in 50gms pack for easy travel packaging.
