Product details

A jar of Vitamin C Green Tea Enzyme Brightening Pad on a sunlit white table between a halved tangerine and golden drops of essence

Brightening pad

Two-sided vitamin C pads that wipe like a toner or rest on skin as a brightening mask.

innisfree’s Vitamin C Green Tea Enzyme Brightening Pad pairs a multi-vitamin complex of vitamin C, panthenol and niacinamide with a gentle enzyme for clearer, brighter-looking skin. Each pad has a yellow vitamin C side, coloured by the vitamin C itself rather than added dye, and a soft white bamboo side for moisture. The essence is pH 5.0 and the pad fabric is biodegradable.

What’s inside

  • Vitamin C

    A stable vitamin C derivative, labelled at 1,000 ppm, with ferulic acid and vitamin E for brightening care.

    No. 8, 26, 28 of 29 on the list

How to use

Wipe or mask

  1. 1

    Take a pad

  2. 2

    Wipe

    Use the white bamboo side to wipe gently over the face, like a toner.

  3. 3

    Mask

    Lay the yellow vitamin C side on areas that look dull and leave it for about 10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Pat in

    Remove the pad and pat the remaining essence into the skin.

Bright, fresh and smooth

A quick wipe in the morning or a ten-minute vitamin C mask at night, for skin that looks clearer and more radiant.

Good to know

  • Despite the name, the formula contains no green tea extract. The “green tea enzyme” is the protease.
  • Contains gluconolactone, a mild PHA exfoliant. Wear sunscreen during the day.
  • Dermatologically tested and vegan certified, per innisfree. The pad fabric is biodegradable, and the box is FSC-certified paper printed with soy ink.
  • 60 pads in a 170 mL jar.
