innisfree | UV Active Poreless Sunscreen SPF50+ PA++++: Review
Earlier this year when I visited Korea, I made a trip to the innisfree Jeju House, the obligatory tourist stop for any beauty lover visiting Jeju Island. While I was there, I took advantage of the promotions and picked up a few sunscreens, given my love for Korean sunscreens. One of the sunscreens I purchased was the innisfree UV Active Poreless Sunscreen SPF50+ PA++++ (~C$25 for 50 ml). I was a bit rushed during my visit, so I did not get the chance to research the product thoroughly beforehand. It was only after I tried it for the first time that I realized it was a mineral sunscreen. Still, I decided to give it a fair shot, and today I am sharing my review to help you decide whether this might be the right sunscreen for you...
