Review

Results you may expect from using Isntree Green Tea Fresh Toner:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Isntree Green Tea Fresh Toner:

  • Moderate moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 5.0 out of 10.
  • Soothing: Isntree Green Tea Fresh Toner contains a high concentration of soothing ingredients, which may help to reduce irritation and calm the skin.
  • Antioxidant protection.

How moisturizing is it?

Quite moisturizing: Isntree Green Tea Fresh Toner has a moisturizing rating of 5.0 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? It is purely humectant. It has zero occlusivity (we didn't find any occlusive ingredients on the ingredient list) and a maximum humectancy of 10 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract (est. ≈80.0%).

Tip: Studies suggest that humectants alone do not moisturize the skin. We recommend applying a product with some occlusive ingredients after the use of this one.

Please refer to the Ratings section below for details of the moisturizing rating calculation.

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Isntree Green Tea Fresh Toner has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains some ingredients marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles, specifically Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Centella Asiatica Extract, Pueraria Lobata Root Extract, and Beta-Glucan. However, the studies supporting the anti-wrinkle claims of these ingredients provide insufficient evidence of efficacy according to CreamScan Research Evaluation Standards. Therefore, these ingredients do not generate the anti-wrinkle rating.

Moisturizers, when used regularly, are proven to prevent wrinkle formation and even reduce existing wrinkles. Therefore, this product, like any other moisturizer, could deliver some anti-wrinkle effects through its moisturizing action.

Please refer to the Ratings section below for details of the anti-wrinkle rating calculation.

Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that Isntree Green Tea Fresh Toner is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract (est. ≈80.0%), Ginkgo Biloba Leaf Extract (est. ≈4.0%) and Centella Asiatica Extract (est. ≈3.0%).

A key benefit of antioxidants is their ability to reduce oxidative stress caused by free radicals and therefore prevent accelerated skin aging. Studies also show that antioxidants can protect against environmental damage such as UV radiation and pollution, and help reduce inflammation and skin redness.

Skin soothing

Based on the ingredient list analysis, Isntree Green Tea Fresh Toner is rich (> 5%) in soothing ingredients, particularly Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract (est. ≈80.0%), Ginkgo Biloba Leaf Extract (est. ≈4.0%), Centella Asiatica Extract (est. ≈3.0%), and others.

When applied to the skin, compounds of soothing ingredients, such as triglycerides, phospholipids, fatty acids, phenolic compounds, and antioxidants, work together to soothe the skin through various mechanisms: reducing inflammation, promoting wound healing, repairing the skin barrier, and providing antimicrobial and antioxidant activities.
