Hi girls. Plum Goodness has been around from quite some time now and I have used a handful of products from this brand. Most of them being skin care. some of them fared really well like Plum Green Tea Clear Face Pack. I also loved Plum Olive & Macadamia oil hair mask. Coming to Plum Natur Studio All Day Wear kohl kajal , there is no other match. Apart from these 3 star products, I am struggling with the other products from the brand. Today I am going to share my opinion on the newly launched Plum Green Tea Skin Clarifying Concentrate. Stay tuned to know how it fared on my oily, acne prone and sensitive skin.
Plum Green Tea Skin Clarifying Concentrate
The latest addition to Plum Green Tea range is Plum Green Tea Skin Clarifying Concentrate which is a lightweight serum to be used for all skin types. This serum is enriched with the goodness of Green Tea which is anti oxidant & works as an astringent, Cinnamon Bark, which regulates sebum production, fruit extracts to yield AHA to skin, Ginger to soothe inflammation, licorice to even out skin tone and aloe vera juice to moisturize and calm skin.

Ingredients Of Plum Green Tea Skin Clarifying Concentrate
The key ingredients of this skin concentrate are Green Tea, Cinnamon Bark, Fruit Extracts, Willow Bark, Ginger, Licorice, Aloe Juice. Refer to the picture below to have a look over the complete list of ingredients.
Packaging
The concentrate comes packed in a 30ml transparent matte bottle with a pump fitted at it’s mouth. The bottle itself is packed in the signature packaging of Plum Goodness which is Olive green and white. The outer packaging contains all the information about the product including manufacturing details, ingredient list, usage direction etc.
The 30ml bottle is quite travel friendly because it’s compact and the pump is sealed with a transparent cap. There won’t be any accidental spill. Also as the product gets used, the concentrate keeps on going higher as you can see in the image below, so every drop of the concentrate could be used.

Fragrance & Texture
Plum Green Tea Skin Clarifying Concentrate, is a very lightweight solution. It has greenish hints but goes clear when applied on the skin. Being runny, it is easy very easy to apply it. Instantly it gets absorbed leaving nothing behind.
It has quite a familiar pleasant and sweet smell. I think this is the signature fragrance of all the Plum green tea range products. It’s mild and goes away pretty soon after the application.
My Experience With Plum Green Tea Skin Clarifying Concentrate
I might refer this concentrate as a serum, because, it has the characteristics of a serum. It is lightweight, runny and gets easily absorbed. It offers moisture but is very minimal. The moisture level is so low that even my oily-turned-combination skin needs a layer of moisture over this concentrate. I can give it a benefit of doubt as it does not promise to provide ample moisture to the skin.
Coming to the results, I have used this concentrate more than half now in about 2 weeks, twice a day, but I don’t see any thing extra ordinary out of this concentrate. I have dark spots due to acne. They are still as dark as they were before using this concentrate. It does not prevent new acne. I am having a lot of blocked pores and 2-3 pimples on my face right now. Green Tea is supposed to help fighting acne, but guess this concentrate does not have ample amount of green tea. I wonder what happened to the Salicylic Acid from Willow Bark. This concentrate is too mild to act on my existing problems.
I am going to use it until I finish it. because, there is not much left in the bottle, anyway. And I will be returning the empty bottle to Plum with my feedback.
The Good
- Loaded with so many powerful ingredients.
- Very lightweight, hence gets absorbed really fast.
- Does not contain any bad boy i.e., parabenes/phthalates/chemicals
- Travel friendly packaging.
- Adds bit of glow to the face, without making skin oily.
The Bad
- Pricey for the quantity provided.
The Ugly
- Does not work as it is supposed to. Does not help with dark spots or fights acne. Basically it’s just an extra step in your skin care yielding nothing. Despite of being targeted as a product for oily & acne prone skin, it delivers nothing.
Summarizing the review, there is only a feel good factor that is associated with this product for me, that this concentrate is from Plum and it is green Tea based. I feel, it can keep skin matte for another hour during summer. Honestly, I had really high hopes with this concentrate (which is not concentrated enough to moisturize skin), I really wanted it to work as amazingly as Plum Green Tea Clear face mask works for my skin. I wonder what went wrong, with so many nice ingredients, why this concentrate does not work for me.
Have you used this concentrate? Do you feel it lives up to it’s claim of giving a clear skin? Which product is your favorite from Plum?

This sounds like a decent gel-based product for oily skin but if in reality it isn’t doing much to acne or acne scars I don’t see the point in buying this for me.

Yeah, I could not notice any difference in my skin, while using it. It could be skipped.
