Innisfree Bija Trouble Gel Cream Review

My Experience with Innisfree Bija Trouble Gel Cream:

Packaging: Innisfree Bija Trouble Gel Cream comes in calming blue coloured, easy to squeeze, sleek tube packaging with a screw cap. The tube has nozzle-type opening that lets you dispense the right amount of the gel. The tube itself bears directions to use and ingredients. The tube has outer cardboard packaging. The cardboard box houses all information about the product in detail. Overall, the packaging is basic, functional and travel-friendly.

Texture: Innisfree bija trouble gel cream is a lightweight gel. The gel has very smooth texture. The consistency is just perfect; neither thin nor thick. It glides over the skin so smoothly and easily. The gel is almost transparent in appearance.

Fragrance: When talking about fragrance, it is very similar to Innisfree bija trouble mask. The only difference is that gel cream has strong herbal tones to it. Though the fragrance is herbal, it’s too strong for my liking. I have a sensitive nose, and I find the fragrance very strong and off-putting. However, after a couple of minutes of application, the fragrance dissipates.

Usage/Result: It is directed to use at the last stage of skin care by applying appropriate amount over face. I smooth out a pea size amount of this gel cream over my face after applying toner and serum. I apply this cream individually in morning, but at night I use it as spot treatment. The gel cream spreads easily over the skin, but takes a few minutes to get absorbed into the skin. Sometimes, when I apply cream more than needed, it takes more time for this cream to sink in. Also, it makes the eyebrows sticky so it better to steer clear and not apply this gel cream near eyebrows.

After getting absorbed, this gel creams makes my skin super hydrated, smooth and soft, but at the same time makes complexion dull. It does not feel heavy on the skin, but leaves sheen on skin which takes time to disappear. This gel cream helps in calming and soothing the skin. I have noticed that before applying this gel cream, the pores around nose looked smaller, but after applying they appear larger.

As the result of regular usage, bija gel cream helps in speeding up the healing process of acne. It makes them dry faster with minimal scarring. Hence, now I use it as spot treatment only. While it works effectively as spot treatment, it does not prevent pimples that effectively. When talking about fading spots, there is very minimal effect, not appreciable one.

Overall, this gel cream hydrates the skin very well making it soft and smooth. It speeds up the healing process of acne without any major scarring. It also helps in calming skin and relaxes it. However, on the negative side, it has strong herbal fragrance and makes the complexion look dull.
