You might have noticed that I don't talk much about Hyaluronic acid on my blog or Instagram . That is because there are very few hyaluronic acid infused skincare products that have actually impressed me. Most of the time my skin either breaks out due to overdose of moisture or it feels super sticky post application
These days many skincare products have Hyaluronic acid in their ingredient list because of its intense hydration and skin plumping qualities. But hyaluronic acid is like a double edged sword. It adds moisture to the skin from the environment but sometime it can also suck out the moisture from the skin in certain conditions.
Isntree is no stranger to my blog. I have reviewed multiple items from the brand to my blog. Today's post is on the latest addition to their skincare line ''Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Water Essence ''

The packaging is stunning. I honestly can't recall having anything so blue and vibrant in my skincare closet. The bottle has a gradient effect going on and is made of solid glass. I personally get goosebumps with glass packaging as I am very clumsy but on the brighter side this glass is actually environmental friendly. Thd dropper is by far the longest one I have used. It works really well to pick up the essence
Since this is an essence it is viscous with a hint of milky color. I dreaded this too feel sticky and heavy on the skin but I was surprised how easily this just absorbed into the skin without any hint of tacky residue. Moreover it didn't cause any breakout or exaggerate the appearance of pores. This sits really well under sunscreen and foundation. It does not clump nor does it makes the makeup patchy. For my this is suitable for both day and night. I would recommend this to everyone. It is suitable for all skin types gives notable plump to the skin can be used in both day and night skincare routine.
