One of Isntree’s most popular lines, the Green Tea Fresh collection harnesses the power of green tea from Jeju Island in products formulated to deliver nutrients to skin while supplying antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Green tea is abundant in tannins that are capable of removing impurities and excess sebum on face. Combined with Anti Sebum P, the range is perfect for regulating oil production for clear and healthy skin. Those with oily and combination skin types would find this range particularly beneficial. I had been hearing a lot of good things about this toner for some time and with the recent weather, I found my skin drying out a little with all the time spent indoors under the 8th wonder of the world (if you come from the tropics that is), air conditioning. So I thought I would give this Hyaluronic Acid Toner a try and, boy oh boy, I wasn’t disappointed. The Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Toner was first launched in May 2012 but has recently been relaunched in 2019 with a new and improved formulation. The original toner had only a single type Hyaluronic Acid while the 2019 version is now formulated with 3 types.) Isntree is known for being incredibly reliable and the kind of skincare brand you’ll always go to when you need to calm your skin down. They lean on using extracts that can detoxify as well as soothe. You could be using their Real Mugwort Clay Mask or Hyaluronic Acid Aqua Gel Creamand know that you are using products that will moisturise while getting to work. Main cons: Wouldn’t recommend this to those who have dry skin. The first day I applied this, I noticed a matte finish to the skin after it sank in.

The 2% BHA (salicylic acid) gently removes dead skin cells, unclogs pores, and helps to control excess sebum production. This leads to a smoother, more refined complexion and helps to prevent breakouts. The accelerated skin cell turnover promotes a healthier skin barrier and improves overall skin texture. I have to say that I am using this for the past 2 years. Every single days. Not a day without as my skin looks better and helps a.lot with appearance of pores. Plus Green tea is one of the best antioxidants and this product is genuine. For gentle exfoliation especially if you have sensitive or dry skin, add the Chestnut AHA 8% Clear Essence to your skin care routine. Formulated with chestnut shell extract and AHAs (glycolic acid and lactic acid), the essence removes dead skin cells and impurities on face without causing irritation. The inclusion of skin-soothers like heartleaf extract, aloe leaf juice and allantoin provide relief to redness and other signs of irritation. After my experience with the Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Toner, I was super excited to try out the Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Toner Plus!For optimal results, it is recommended to use Isntree Chestnut BHA 2% Clear Liquid no more than three times a week (once a week for sensitive skin). This allows your skin to gradually adjust to the exfoliating properties of the toner while minimizing the risk of over-exfoliation. Unlike the watery consistency of most toners, the Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Toner has a slightly viscous consistency. It comes in a rather simple 200ml clear plastic bottle and it was pretty easy to dispense. Also alcohol-free and water-base, the key difference with the Plus version is that the star of the show, the Hyaluronic Aqueous Solution (50%) contains 5 types instead of 3 types of Hyaluronic Acid with the addition of Hydrolysed Sodium Hyaluronate and Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer.

This toner can be great as a basic staple if you already have good skin, but otherwise it won’t effectively treat existing acne/pigmentation or other concerns.As acne is one of the most common skin concerns, Isntree offers a plethora of beauty products formulated to treat troubled skin and manage acne-prone or oily skin. Exfoliating your face and keeping your pores clear are essential to preventing acne formation and curbing outbreaks. Isntree’s Chestnut line harnesses a unique combination of anti-fighting ingredients like chestnut shell extract and chemical exfoliants like BHA and LHA to keep troubled skin at bay. From cleansing oil to toner to essence, the collection helps you achieve healthy skin. I alternate this with glycolic/salicylic acid toners to keep my acid mantle balanced. I am sensitive to niacinamide and I have found the centella asciatica in this to be a fantastic alternative! Headquartered in Seoul, South Korea, Isntree has grown into a global brand with online and offline presence in many countries. As one of the leading brands in Korean beauty, Isntree’s products are widely available in many places around the world. To tighten and minimize the appearance of enlarged pores, this toner features tannin extracted from chestnut shells. Tannin has astringent properties that help to reduce excess sebum, tighten pores, and restore the skin's oil-water balance. By regulating sebum production, it helps to combat shine and create a more balanced complexion.

Amazing toner. I’ve been using it everyday, twice a day and my skin feels much brighter. I also use it with my foreo bear to rehydrate my serum, and it’s brilliant.The Plus version is a new addition to the Isntree range and was just recently launched earlier this year. This version came in a similar 200ml clear blue plastic bottle which was easy to dispense. The clear bottle was particularly helpful as it gave me a clear indication of how much I had left in the bottle.

To use, after cleansing, soak a cotton pad with the product or dispense directly onto your palm. Gently apply the toner to your entire face, patting it in for further absorption. Follow with the rest of your skincare routine. It is no wonder that this toner was crowned the No. 1 Toner at the Hwahae Beauty Awards, the largest cosmetics awards in Korea. This toner has also won the Olive Young Best Toner 2019 among many other accolades. In addition to the extreme hydration effect of these two amazing toners , both toners are also formulated with Multi BSASM Plus. To the uninitiated, Multi BSASM Plus is a natural active ingredient comprising 7 plant extracts in a patented formula. Whether you’re looking for something to help cleanse skin at the end of the day or have dedicated some time to go through the traditional Korean skincare routineand need a reliable ampoule, Isntree has what you need.If you’ve been using toners, creams or cleansers, which also leave skin feeling taut and dry after use, you might be better to try Isntree for a change. What Isntree products are the most popular? Well, not anymore! The Kbeauty trend has completely turned this on its head and toners these days are often alcohol free and often possess other forms of skin benefits such as, ironically, moisturisation!
