Green Tea Seed Serum

product review positives
I picked this up when I was hunting for a great hydrating serum that would really support and encourage strong barrier function and health. I can't say I am impressed by it unfortunately. The "good" thing about this product though is that it's very accessible to the majority of consumers (or atleast anyone with access to Walmart I guess) but it was around $36cad if I remember correctly which is not cheap!
product review negatives
I was very disappointed with this. It didn't do anything BAD, it just didn't do anything at all (which is bad on its own, but it didn't hurt me beyond hurting my wallet). Absolutely nothing special and very overpriced for zero benefit. I've had much better results with "generic" or "bargain" type products that come at much lower price tags. Innisfree has so many great products, this however is not one of them! It might be worth noting that there are atleast two different packaging variations available; I know that certain brands will manufacture slightly different products specifically to be distributed through a mass market/big box store and those products are different from their other "true" products. The version I have from Walmart has a different looking pump than we normally see on products (I'll attach photos of what it looks like) which to me could very well be a tell tale sign, but it's just a theory. If you absolutely have your heart set on trying this product, I'd recommend stearing clear of the one sold by Walmart (or the one that I bought) as maybe they're different formulations? Innisfree is great, every other product I've tried from them I've been quite impressed with, so for this to be SO different and disappointing.... I gotta wonder. For example, in Canada we have Sport Chek (a sporting goods store...) the brand Burton has an entire line of Snowboard, skis, and other equipment that are lower quality and specifically made to only be sold through sport check. These lower quality products still carry the "Burton" brand and logos but they have different materials and different quality; they're basically knock-offs that only look like the real, genuine article. I added a video of it to show the consistency; it's very watery and other hydrating serums that look and feel like the same texture do not run that drastically. For comparison the first video is innisfree (0.08 seconds) the second video is vichy mineral 89 serum (0.13 second video) both are two full pumps of product for reference. Just food for thought...
