ISNTREE - moellyc review for Ultra Low Molecular Hyaluronic Acid Toner

📝 Toners have a long and storied history with those of the more "disco" persuasion remembering as teens, slathering toner soaked cotton pads all over our zit flecked faces. Even the memories of that experience would still cause some to flinch as the toner stung with its dehydrating destruction of greasiness. 🔘 Ingredients: Sodium Hyaluronate, Water, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Trehalose, Betula Alba Juice, Beta-Glucan, Soluble Collagen, Althaea Rosea Root Extract, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Portulaca Oleracea Extract, Panthenol, Zanthoxylum Piperitum Fruit Extract, Pulsatilla Koreana Extract, Usnea Barbata (Lichen) Extract. 🔘 Review: 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. This alcohol-free, water-based toner is chock full of skin goodness but the star of this toner is a Hyaluronic Aqueous Solution (50%) consisting of Hyaluronic Acid, Sodium Hyaluronate, and Hydrolysed Hyaluronate. The smaller molecules penetrate deeper moisturising from the inside out while the larger ones form a protective layer of moisture on your skin locking in all that skin goodness. I initially had my doubts. Due to its thicker consistency, the toner felt a little tacky when I first applied it, not a promising start but my doubts quickly turned into amazement at how quickly the toner was absorbed into the skin. It left our skin feeling refreshed and there wasn’t any hint of stickiness. In fact, I reapplied it 3 times and each time my skin just lapped it up. 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. I experimented by layering these two toners (after my double cleanse) exclusively for 2 weeks in a 4 step daily skincare routine and was very satisfied with the results. The rich formulation of the Hyaluronic Acid Toner, in particular, kept my skin feeling plump and moist throughout the day. For drier skin types or an extra moisture boost, you can also add the Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Water Essence, which has 8 types of Hyaluronic Acid, to your skin routine. 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.
