🇰🇷 isntree - hyaluronic acid water essence finally got around to trying this serum! it's been 7 months since my isntree mugwort serum review 😳 🔍 DESCRIPTION
this serum contains 8 different types of hyaluronic acid (HA) in 3 different sizes to replenish the hydration in our skin. it also contains natural moisturising factors (NMF) such as betaine, sodium PCA and panthenol. these ingredients help to strengthen and maintain our skin barrier.

🤔 MY THOUGHTS
this serum has a typical HA texture but doesn’t get too sticky/messy or sit on my skin. it also absorbs really easily and doesn’t contain any fragrance. i think this would be a great option for those with sensitive or reactive skin. 
i found this HA serum kinda lacklustre as i’ve tried better ones like torriden’s dive-in serum. isntree’s HA serum is very one dimensional and doesn’t seem to offer much besides being hydrating. that’s not to say this isn’t a good serum, i just think that i’ve just come to appreciate skincare products that are multi-tasking. it's still a versatile serum that can be easily added to most skincare routines that need a boost of hydration. 
overall, i think it’s an average and inoffensive serum that’s good for beginners who are still exploring what they like. i’d also recommend it for all skin types except those that are sensitive to HA.
