Review innisfree no sebum mineral pact

If you have oily skin, you will know exactly what that means. It means showering in the morning and seeing my face/hair oily by noon.

The fact that I live in Singapore, an all-year round summer country, (humid/hot/rainy) doesn’t help much.

After years of spending my school life trying all sorts of not-so-helpful things (like washing my face or wiping my hair), I stumbled upon this glorious product:

“No-Sebum Mineral Pact” from Innisfree (with Jeju natural mineral and natural originated mint, 8.5g/0.29 oz)

It comes in this small grey box:

It works just like a make-up foundation pact.

After giving a few pats with the cushion, I dab the cushion on my skin/hair. (I use one for hair and the other for skin). It immediately makes my hair/skin look less oily.

It looks like this inside:

This is its sister product:

This powder form is 0.17oz/5g, compared to the 0.29oz/8.5g for the pact. It looks like this inside:

The pact version is slightly thinner than the powder version as you can see:

The pact version seems a bit wider than the powder version:

The pact version costs S$17.00, according to the Innisfree website. The powder version costs $10.00 (couldn’t find the one exactly the same as mine).

The products are available on sites like iHerb and Amazon, but I think the most convenient & cheapest way of purchasing these products is by just walking into an Innisfree store– as of 2020 August, there are 17 Innisfree stores in Singapore.

Here’s my take:

Pros

-Both products are very good at absorbing skin & hair sebum

-Compact; they’re both 5-6cm, so you can easily keep them in a small handbag/pocket of your bag.

-Aesthetically pleasing cases & nice blue color

-A way for you to keep your face from looking oily without having to put on foundation make-up

Cons

-Not exactly a limitation of the product itself; you’ll have to make sure you don’t dab too much powder on your skin/hair, or you’ll look like you were just snowed on. (I have experience)

-Personally, I find the powder case a little troublesome to open and close. (If you don’t close the lid properly, the powder might spill in your bag/pocket) That’s why I prefer the pact case, which I can close much faster than the powder case.

-Another reason I prefer the pact version to the powder version; for the pact form, I can simply dab on the pact with the cushion and then dab it on my skin/hair. For the powder version, I’ll have to tilt the case so that powder will come out of the holes onto cushion.

That’s it for this review! Hope you’ve found this post informative. If you did, please give it a like/comment! It’ll be even better if you follow my blog “Han Style” 🙂

• IT WORKS !! i just bought this product and used it for the first time and it works like how it said it would (it matches its deions) . i also love how portable it is (for simple touch-ups throughout the day) and how it has a mirror on the underside of the lid . for those who are sensitive to germs , don't worry , you can wash the puff sponge easily :)) it leaves my skin feeling smooth and soft , and whatever oiliness i would've had earlier on would be gone . i've heard of some who said that the powder does not match their skin tone and makes them "look white" , but since my skin is very fair , it's perfectly fine on me . i think it would be best to visit a nearby store to test the product before deciding if you would like to purchase it or not .

Travel-friendly

Travel-friendly. but not recommended for really oily skin people like me to apply after makeup or sunblock in the morning. Would recommend being used during touch up as the powder quantity on the pact is lesser compared to the other smaller ones.

but if you have an average amount of oils or little of it, go ahead and try this! It doesn't get oily for 4-5 hours (with no excessive sweatings)

What does Innisfree No Sebum Mineral Powder do?

Sebum-absorbing powder and sebum-control mineral power absorb excess sebum to keep the skin smooth and soft like freshly applied makeup. The fine powder helps you reveal a refined and clear look by addressing dull skin complexion and makeup that clogs easily due to excessive sebum.

Is a pact or powder better?

When I look at reviews from different people, they all seem to love the powder way more than the pact. However I like the pact more. I just feel that I'm getting more product so it works better for me. Tho I use brush with both of them, when I'm home.

Do you use no sebum mineral powder before or after makeup?

Apply No-Sebum Mineral powder before putting on eye makeup to create long-lasting and smudge proof eye makeup. Apply No-Sebum Mineral Powder on body parts that sweat a lot to keep the skin fresh, soft and matte all day long.

What is the difference between Innisfree No Sebum Mineral Powder and moisture powder?

What's the difference? Well, this Moisture version is more suitable for those with dehydrated - dryer skin types, and want a setting powder that also helps replenish moisture, whereas the No-Sebum powder is perfect for those with oilier skin types and enlarged pores.
