REVIEW | Innisfree Soybean Firming Skin & Innisfree Soybean Firming Lotion

REVIEW | Innisfree Soybean Firming Skin & Innisfree Soybean Firming Lotion


This is a sample kit

Lately, I've been searching for firming and anti-aging skincare products so Innisfree Soybean Firming products immediately get my attention. There are not many reviews about this product line and thus I can't decide whether to buy or not. At first, I thought what could possibly go wrong, just bought them. But now, I'm really glad I got a sample kit to try before deciding. OK, let's get to the review!



Ingredients: WATER, SQUALANE, GLYCERIN, BUTYLENE GLYCOL, ARBUTIN, BACILLUS/SOYBEAN FERMENT EXTRACT, CAMELLIA JAPONICA LEAF EXTRACT, CAMELLIA SINENSIS LEAF EXTRACT, CITRUS UNSHIU PEEL EXTRACT, OPUNTIA COCCINELLIFERA FRUIT EXTRACT, ORCHID EXTRACT, THEOBROMA CACAO (COCOA) EXTRACT, NELUMBO NUCIFERA FLOWER EXTRACT, PRUNUS MUME FRUIT EXTRACT, TRIETHYLHEXANOIN, PEG-60 GLYCERYL ISOSTEARATE, 1,2-HEXANEDIOL, CYCLOPENTASILOXANE, PEG-20 GLYCERYL ISOSTEARATE, GLYCERYL STEARATE, STEARIC ACID, CETEARYL ALCOHOL, PROPANEDIOL, CYCLOHEXASILOXANE, CARBOMER, GLYCERYL CAPRYLATE, ADENOSINE, DEXTRIN, LACTIC ACID, CITRIC ACID, DISODIUM EDTA, POTASSIUM HYDROXIDE, ETHYLHEXYLGLYCERIN, FRAGRANCE

Innisfree also has 6-free system: parabens, synthetic colorants, mineral oil, animal-originated ingredients, artificial fragrances, imidazolidinyl urea

To Use: Use Innisfree Soybean Firming Skin as a toner.

Scent: It smells like some kinds of medicinal herbs and I was really turned off by that scent. I have used several other products of Innisfree and I know they often smell herbal but this one's smell is a bit unpleasant to me.

Texture: It's runny but not as watery as other toners.


My thoughts: It's quite moisturizing and prevents my skin from being dry after cleansing. However, it leaves a little greasy feeling afterwards, which makes me not comfortable. If you have dry skin, you may like it.


Ingredients: ATER, BUTYLENE GLYCOL, GLYCERIN, CETYL ETHYLHEXANOATE, CYCLOPENTASILOXANE, HYDROGENATED POLYDECENE, ARBUTIN, CYCLOHEXASILOXANE, BACILLUS/SOYBEAN FERMENT EXTRACT, CAMELLIA SINENSIS LEAF EXTRACT, CITRUS UNSHIU PEEL EXTRACT, OPUNTIA COCCINELLIFERA FRUIT EXTRACT, ORCHID EXTRACT, CAMELLIA JAPONICA LEAF EXTRACT, NELUMBO NUCIFERA FLOWER EXTRACT, PRUNUS MUME FRUIT EXTRACT, ADENOSINE, HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL, LACTIC ACID, CITRIC ACID, ETHYLHEXYLGLYCERIN, STEARIC ACID, PALMITIC ACID, ARACHIDYL ALCOHOL, GLYCERYL STEARATE, ARACHIDYL GLUCOSIDE, BEHENYL ALCOHOL, PROPANEDIOL, POLYISOBUTENE, PEG-100 STEARATE, POLYSILICONE-11, POLYSORBATE 20, POLYACRYLATE-13, CARBOMER, TROMETHAMINE, DISODIUM EDTA, PHENOXYETHANOL, FRAGRANCE

To Use: According to innisfree, you use lotion before serum but I kinda find it unusual because serum often has thinner texture so I always apply serum right after toner.

Scent: Same as the Soybean Firming Skin.

Texture: It's light and milky.

Innisfree Soybean Firming Lotion's texture


Rubbing in

My thoughts: This lotion absorbs quickly and keeps my skin moisturized for a long time. It's a little sticky, not so sticky that one can't handle but I still dislike it. Like the Soybean Firming Skin, it also leaves a greasy feeling and that greasiness doesn't go anywhere for hours. The sample kit is enough for a dozen of using and everytime I use it, my skin doesn't feel any different in the next morning, not smoother, not softer nor plumper. If there is something more, it's more oil in my skin.

In terms of result, I don't think I use these products long enough to see if there is any improvement on my skin, it's just a small sample kit anyway.

In conclusion, I won't purchase full-sized products since I hate the greasy and sticky feeling of them, not to mention the smell. If you have dry skin or need something moisturizing for winter then these might be good for you, just not for people with combination/oily skin like me.

My rating: 2/5
