Innisfree Jeju Volcanic Pore Care Kit Review
WHAT: Innisfree Jeju Volcanic Pore Care Kit
Hello, friends! Here's a quick review for the Innisfree Jeju Volcanic Pore Care Kit. I got this as a freebie with my purchase on Althea Korea. If you want to try this, I saw this trial set retailing for about 130-250 Php on Shopee.

WHAT'S INSIDE

Innisfree Jeju Volcanic Pore Care Kit Review
Product empties. Sorry I don't have pics of the cotton pads!
The Pore Care Kit consists of:
  • 1 Innisfree Jeju Volcanic Pore Cleansing Foam 13ml
  • 1 Innisfree Jeju Volcanic Pore Toner 10ml
  • 7 pcs Innisfree Eco Beauty Tool Cotton pads



Let's start with the Innisfree Jeju Volcanic Pore Cleansing Foam.

Innisfree Jeju Volcanic Pore Care Kit Review
pH test = around 7.5
Product Description: " Jeju Island's volcano clay is very fine and contains few impurities, and attaches well to sebum to clean it out effectively. Also, it is low alkaline which is similar to human body."

This cleanser is effective in making my face feel really clean. If you have oily skin, I think you will appreciate this because all oiliness is stripped away. The description "low alkaline" checks out because the pH is around 7.6. However, I prefer gentle cleansers with lower pH so I will probably not buy the full size.

The 150ml full-sized bottle retails 350 Php at Althea.



Now, about the Innisfree Jeju Volcanic Pore Toner...
Innisfree Jeju Volcanic Pore Care Kit Review
pH test = around 6.4
Product Description: "The toner’s mineral powder contains volcanic ash and scoria, a porous substance formed from solidified lava. The natural volcanic scoria contains pure, rare, and earthy ingredients that clear out sebum from your face and minimize pores. Use this alcohol-free toner to remove sebum and other skin wastes. It will clear and tighten your pores, leaving your face with a soft and smooth glow."

This toner is thin and watery and has a cloudy look because of the volcanic ash and scoria in it. It is mildly scented and smells like fresh flowers. I liked using this because it made my skin look less oily but after a few days, my skin got bumpier. I suspect my skin did not agree with the volcanic ash or one of the ingredients. Anyway, according to my pH test, the toner has an approximate pH of 6.4. It won't be low enough to use with actives like AHA/BHA.

The 250ml full-sized toner is 800 Php at Althea.

Last but not the least, the Pore Care Kit contained 7 pcs of Innisfree Eco Beauty Tool Cotton pads. It is made of 100% pure cotton and therefore, very absorbent. It would sop up lots of toner so be careful when dispensing! The pads are pressed on both sides but they were not stitched. After vigorous use, the pads kinda unraveled. Haha. I'm still thankful it was included in the kit. Everything is just enough for one week of use!



VERDICT

I enjoyed using the kit. I was able to try out products that I am curious about without committing to the full-sized items. I think the kit will also be perfect for traveling because of its tiny size.
