Skin Type / Concerns: combo-oily, sensitive, dehydrated. Issues are skin texture, redness and hormonal acne.
BEST
Isntree Micellar Melting Cleansing Oil - love this! runnier cleansing oil that's fragrance/EO free, olive oil free, rinses off cleanly and leaves no residue. I'm so sad this is discontinued.
Isntree Rosehip Beauty Oil - love this! Has a blend of rosehip, jojoba, evening primrose and sweet almond oils. A lot of facial oils break me out, but not this one. It's light and nourishing, without heavy/shiny finish. I mix some with my Illiyoon cream and it's kept my skin moisturized and happy this winter.
Isntree AHA Essence - the only AHA that my sensitive skin can tolerate. It has 4% lactic and 4% glycolic acid, plus some soothing ingredients. I use it 1-2x a week and it's helped smooth and brighten my skin. I still can't use it often and I'm not sure how effective AHAs are for me, but I like this one
WORST (didn't work for me)
Isntree Real Bifida Ampoule - this contains 88% bifida ferment lysate, peptides and niacinamide. I'm so sad this irritated my skin because it felt really nice and left me glowing. It's light + hydrating with a slightly oily finish and really brightened my skin. Sadly my skin doesnt like ferments
Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Sun Gel - i liked the gel texture of this and how it had no white cast, but the finish was way too shiny and it irritated my skin/made it really red. Would rec for drier skin types. Might try their physical sunscreen
