REVIEW ON ISNTREE HYALURONIC ACID AQUA GEL CREAM

Hi beautiful,

Looking for hyaluronic acid light moisturiser for combination acne prone skin?

Here is review on Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Aqua Gel Cream.

Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Aqua Gel Cream

Packed with five kinds of hyaluronic acid and sodium PCA for deep moisturization, this lightweight gel cream is a must-have for upping hydration levels without leaving a sticky after-feel. Additional ingredients of plant-based squalane and aloe vera leaf juice keep skin smooth and soothed. Suitable for oily and combination skin.

Infused with 5 kinds of concentrated hyaluronic acids to provide intense hydration to your skin.

Formulated with botanical squalene extracted from olive oil to refine skin texture, aloe vera leaf juice to soothe irritated skin and sodium PCA to prevent skin dryness.

With a gel texture that moisturizes and softens dry skin.

Suitable for oily/ combination.
Dermatologically tested.

How to use:
1. After toning, take a moderate amount and apply to the entire face.
2. Gently pat for better absorption.

Packaging: It has white box with blue leaf design packaging with English and Hangul. Packaging are printed in soy ink, made from recycle materials and by products of green tea leaves. Products come in transparent white tube with blue leaf. I like moisturiser that comes in tube.

Ingredients talk:

Water, Methylpropanediol, Coco-Ca prylate/Ca prate, 1,2-Hexanediol, Glycerin, Biosaccha ride Gum-1, Betaine, Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer, Trehalose, Sodium Hyaluronate, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Centella Asiatica Extract, Polygonum Cuspidatum Root Extract, Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Portulaca Oleracea Extract, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Houttuynia Cordata Extract, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer, Sodium PC.A, Phytosqualane, lsostearyl Alcohol, Butylene Glycol Cocoate, Cetearyl Olivate, Sorbitan Olivate, Hyaluronic Acid, Hydrolyzed Jojoba Esters, Hydrogenated Olive Oil Unsaponifiables, Butylene Glycol, Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate, Allantoin, Xanthan Gum, Ethylcellulose, Propanediol, Phenyl Trimethicone, Pentylene Glycol, Ethylhexylglycerin

Paraben free, sulfate free, alcohol free, Eu allergen free, silicone-not free and fungal-acne (malassezia)-not safe

The non fungal safe ingredients being deritatives of olive-Cetearyl Olivate, Sorbitan Olivate and deritative of coconut oil- Butylene Glycol Cocoate.

It is a water based moisturiser that also contains hyaluronic acid, plant ingredients (licorice, centella asiatica, heartleaf etc) that are to calm acne prone skin.

The rest the ingredients are for hydration, emulsifier, texture and preservatives.

Texture: Soft opaque gel white lotion that absorbs well and dries down without residue. Almost scentless, very faint scent of plastic that disappeared once dried down.

Review: It is a gel moisturiser that absorbs well onto my skin, doesn't have any residue and doesn't pile under makeup. It does keep my skin hydrated throughout 12hours, doesn't clogged my pores, calm my acne prone skin and doesn't cause acne. On my drier area around my mouth it is not enough for sure. It works as a good hydrating moisturiser for oily and combination skin type and during summer.

Overall: A good hyaluronic gel cream for combination oily skin type.

REVIEW ON ISNTREE SUMMER REVIEW BUS EDITION

Hi beautiful,

Here is a review on special Isntree Summer Review Bus Edition.

South Korean brand, Isntree combines "island", "natural" and "tree" together for its name and guiding philosophy of being transparent in choice of ingredients using the most safe and purest from nature. Some of their most popular products are Aloe Soothing Gel, Hyaluronic Acid Aqua Gel Cream and Sensitive Balancing Sun Protection Plus SPF50+ PA++++ All products are free from animal-testing.

Here are the products:

Isntree Chestnut BHA 2% Clear Liquid
Isntree Mugwort Calming Clay Mask
Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Aqua Gel Cream
Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Watery Sun Gel SPF 50

I have combination acne prone skin and living in South East Asia.

Isntree Chestnut BHA 2% Clear Liquid

On Isntree site it is written no difference in ingredient but according to some (reddit people) there are changes to ingredient

Texture: It is clear watery toner that absorbs well. There is no added fragrance but it very faint scent which I can't describe (steel) .

Review: I use it with a cotton pad once per day without any other actives. If you are new to actives then not more than 3times per week. Also use a sunscreen. It does reduce acne breakouts, calm the skin, keep the skin clear, make skin smooth, clear blackheads and clear white heads. It is also fungal safe.

Overall: An effective 2% BHA toner for blackheads and acne prone skin that is fungal acne safe.

Isntree Mugwort Calming Clay Mask

Texture: smooth gray colour with dark green particles in it. It has scent of mugwort mixed with clay.

Review: It is a clay mask that isn't drying after 15minutes of application. Removing it is easy with rinsing with water. It does reduce oil and sebum production on my face after just one use. Using it about 2 times per week does make the skin look calmer, clearer, lessen skin redness and softer skin. I also breakout less with combination of using the 2% BHA toner as well. It is a good mask to use before using makeup if one wants makeup to look good and last longer.

Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Aqua Gel Cream

Texture: Soft opaque gel white lotion that absorbs well and dries down without residue. Almost scentless, very faint scent of plastic that disappeared once dried down.

Review: It is a gel moisturiser that absorbs done to my skin, doesn't have any residue and doesn't pile under makeup. It does keep my skin hydrated throughout 12hours, doesn't clogged my pores, calm my acne prone skin and doesn't cause acne. On my drier area around my mouth it is not enough for sure. It works as a good hydrating moisturiser for oily and combination skin type and during summer.

Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Watery Sun Gel SPF50++++

Texture: Opaque soft lotion that turned transparent once it dries down. Almost scentless.

Review: It is made by a famous OEM which produce a lot of other famous Korean skincare brands. The formulation is pretty stable and tested. Suncreen goes on well on my skin and protect my skin throughout the day. It does not have any whitecast no matter the amount applied. It doesn't irritate or clogged my pores and easily wash off by the end of the day without residue left on my face.

Overall: A great chemical sunscreen without white cast suitable for any skin type.
