Today we come back with a review of an exceptional product range for problem skin, such as acne. INNISFREE is known and recognized for its products whose natural ingredients come from JEJU Island. The brand also offers care for all skin types and conditions. The set we are going to present is perfect for acne-prone skin and contains Bija seed extract .

BIJA SEED: WHAT IS IT?

The Bijarim forest is a forest located on Jeju Island where you can find the famous Torreya nucifera. These are trees of Japanese origin that also grow on Jeju and from which the seeds are harvested. Bija in Korean. These seeds are edible but are mainly used to fight acne problems! Bija seed oil would accelerate the healing of troubled skin and seems to be an almost miraculous solution! It is a very little-known oil in France, and INNISFREE seems to be the only brand working with it. At Ma Petite Corée, we wanted to test this range through the Bija Trouble Skin Care Set and confirm!

BIJA TROUBLE SKIN CARE SET INNISFREE

This set is one of the many sets offered by INNISFREE and it consists of: a toner (200 mL), a lotion (100mL), and a facial cleanser (100mL). So it's a nice box with standard sizes, not travel size. This set offers the essential layering products according to Koreans but the range is of course more complete. In addition to these three products, INNISFREE also offers a spot essence, a gel, a gel cleanser, patches, and balm. But the set is the base, the rest is perfect if you want to complete this new skincare routine!

THE RESULTS

When they say that Bija seed are miraculous, we confirm it! I tested the INNISFREE set one evening on my entire face, at a time when my cheeks were covered with hormonal acne and the next day, a visible reduction of newer pimples, even some scars. The three products combined calmed inflammations, deeply purified the skin. It was much clearer and less grayish even after the first application. I first washed my face with the foaming cleanser then applied the toner to rebalance the skin. The lighter lotion acts as a moisturizer.

The foaming cleanser's scent is quite pleasant and when massaging it onto the face, you feel a truly refreshing sensation. As if the skin is purified. For the toner, you also find this fresh scent of purifying plants and just with that, you know your skin will be well cared for! I was afraid the toner might dry out the skin too much since it is an acne treatment but not at all, it is very soft and moisturizing. I use the toner every morning and evening, as well as the lotion and cleanser only in the evening.

My skin shows far fewer pimples and is smoother day by day. These treatments regulate sebum production for healthier skin, less dull, without inflammation and small pimples. For all acne-prone skin, this INNISFREE range is highly recommended! It is rare to find treatments to fight acne without drying out the skin in the process, except for pharmacy products of course. This range is quite affordable and delivers on its promises to treat mild or moderate acne. Note that more severe acne requires a consultation with a dermatologist.

THE HWAHAE APP

We begin our analysis by looking at the composition of these three products. Because yes, for the first time in our reviews, we will use the 'Hwahae' app which analyzes skincare compositions! In the following charts, this is the EWG scale, blue means: low risk level; orange: intermediate; and red, high risk level.

The redness is due to a high fragrance content in the three products, but overall the composition is good. The app also advises younger users not to use these products, but overall, the reviews are quite positive!
