Innisfree Green Tea Balancing range is my favourite daytime skincare especially during work. Working in an office environment, the air conditioner can be drying for your skin.
The Green Tea Balancing range is made for combination skin, and is suitable for hot and humid climates. I do not recommend this for cold climates, as it does not sufficiently moisturise [skin feels tight after 4 hours].

Pros- Innisfree Green Tea Balancing Skin

- Good value for a big bottle of 200ml
- 5 free system
- Doesn’t break out of my sensitive skin

Cons
- Can’t think of any, except the perfume smell may be overwhelming if you use the Balancing skin, lotion and cream.
