Isntree Chestnut AHA 8% Clear Essence 100ml

Ingredients and their roles

• Panthenol: A moisture-supporting ingredient that helps keep the skin feeling soft and comfortable during cosmetic care.
• Centella asiatica extract: A botanical skin-conditioning ingredient that gives cica-focused products part of their characteristic formula profile.
• Madecassoside: A centella-associated conditioning ingredient, included alongside the rest of the formula rather than as a separate treatment.
• Sodium hyaluronate: A salt of hyaluronic acid used for moisture retention, contributing to the formula's hydrating feel.
• Allantoin: A skin-conditioning ingredient used to support a softer, more comfortable skin feel.
• Glycerin: A humectant that binds moisture, helping the formula maintain a hydrated feel without adding an oil layer.

An exfoliating essence

The 8% AHA formula combines glycolic and lactic acid care. Count it as an exfoliating treatment when planning the routine, even though the product is named an essence. Introduce it according to the label and keep moisturising care and daytime sun protection consistent.

A separate essence step

This Isntree essence sits between cleansing and your finishing cream. An essence is useful when you want to adjust the hydration layer without replacing the moisturiser you already like. Spread it gently and allow the surface to settle before applying the next product, especially when your routine ends with makeup.

How to use

After using the toner, apply to the face and gently pat the product into the skin, avoiding the eye area. * For sensitive skin, recommended to use 2~3 times per week. * Wear a sunscreen when using the product in the daytime

Use clean palms to distribute the essence across the face. Concentrate on even coverage rather than a thick wet layer. If you use a toner as well, apply the lighter liquid first unless the directions for this formula specify a different sequence.

Frequently asked questions

Is it used like a plain hydrating essence?

The AHA content gives this essence an exfoliating role. Follow its frequency guidance and consider the other acids or retinoids in your routine before combining steps.

Should I use a toner as well?

A separate toner is optional. With this essence, choose the number of layers according to your routine and skin comfort; repeating similar hydration steps is not necessary for everyone.

Do I rinse the essence off?

Follow the directions below for this essence. A leave-on essence stays on the skin before moisturiser; it should not be used as a cleansing product or rubbed away with a towel.
