Take the skin testThe Innisfree Green Tea Amino Hydrating Cleansing Oil is a lightweight, refreshing cleanser that melts away makeup, sunscreen, and dirt without drying out your skin. Made with green tea extract and amino acids, it cleans gently while keeping your skin soft and hydrated. A blend of natural oils, including green tea seed and jojoba, helps remove impurities and excess oil, leaving your skin feeling clean and fresh. The formula rinses off easily without any greasy residue, making it a great first step in your skincare routine.
Green Tea Amino Hydrating Cleansing Oil is a rich oil cleanser from innisfree, a brand based in Korea. The formula is built mainly around hydration. The ingredient list runs to 23 ingredients, each broken down in full below.
By its ingredient list the formula reads as rich: occlusives and butters sit high enough in the order to give it real weight on skin. The oils in it point to a dewy, emollient finish rather than a matte one. Hydration is handled by Butylene Glycol, Propanediol and Ethylhexylglycerin, humectants that pull water into the upper layers of skin rather than sealing it there.
Hydration: High. Ingredients that pull and hold water in the upper layers of skin, and here that comes from Butylene Glycol, Propanediol, Ethylhexylglycerin and Cetyl Ethylhexanoate.
Soothing: Moderate. Ingredients aimed at visible redness and reactivity, and here that comes from Cetyl Ethylhexanoate, Decyl Cocoate and Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract.
On richness alone it suits Dry, Combination (dry) and Balanced skin best, and is the least natural fit for Combination (oily) and Oily skin. Nothing in the list is flagged as a common irritant, which is a reasonable starting point for reactive skin — though a patch test is still the only way to know.
The formula contributes little or nothing on barrier support, oil control, brightening and tone and cell renewal. That is not a fault — most products are not meant to do everything — but if one of those is your priority, this is not the product that will address it.
Reading the full list, the formula is essential-oil-free, no drying alcohol, paraben-free, silicone-free, microplastic-free and sulfate-free. Those claims come from the ingredient list itself, not from the packaging. It does contain fragrance, worth knowing if your skin reacts to any of them.
It can be used morning and evening. In a routine it goes first step. Use on damp skin and rinse thoroughly. Follow with a toner or essence while skin is still slightly damp.
