Create a daily skincare regimen that is easy to maintain and dedicated to pampering and nurturing your skin! With Jang Wonyoung as a global brand ambassador  for Innisfree, a reputable brand recognized for its effective and natural skincare remedies, achieving flawless clear skin has never been easier!



Starting off you need a clean base to work with! The Innisfree Green Tea Cleansing Foam is a highly moisturizing cleansing foam enriched with minerals, amino acids, and antioxidants from organically grown green tea leaves to cleanse and brighten the skin while balancing the skin's natural pH!

For the oily skin girlies, we recommend the Innisfree Volcanic BHA Pore Cleansing Foam for a deep cleansing experience that effectively clears excess sebum and impurities from the pores!

Once weekly, after cleansing, treat yourself to the Innisfree Super Volcanic Pore Clay Mask for a thorough deep cleanse and to exfoliate away dead skin cells!

Staying hydrated is crucial! Ensuring your skin remains moisturized consistently can enhance elasticity, regulate oil production, and aid in healing skin issues stemming from a weak, damaged skin barrier.

Prep your skin with the Innisfree Green Tea Hyaluronic Toner to replenish your dehydrated skin! If you want, you can even layer the Green Tea Mist for that added moisture and dewy glow!

Finally seal your skin routine with the Innisfree Green Tea Balancing Emulsion for a lightweight, refreshing layer of hydration in the day time or the Green Tea Seed Hyaluronic Cream for that soothing and nourishing care at night
