What the gurus are saying

This toner earns consistent praise for being lightweight yet deeply hydrating, absorbing quickly without stickiness or heaviness, a rare balance gurus highlight. The multiple types of hyaluronic acid deliver noticeable hydration across skin types, and the plant-derived extracts help soothe and support the barrier. One reviewer flagged it as pricey and noted it reads more like a serum than a traditional toner; those with very oily skin may find it too rich, but for dry, mature, normal and combination skin it performs well enough that some gurus use it solo on lighter days.

"This is $20 and go away. Go away. Too expensive. For dry mature skin if you're over like 40, 50, I recommend it because they named it as an essence. But just don't say that. That's just like a thick serum. I think Western beauty just named it as a toner or just make a thick serum and then they just want it to be on the viral. So I think they named it as a milky toner. But that's not a toner. That's just a serum. Thick serum. Oily combo girls, no, but very very hydrating."

"And I also am loving this one, the I unique betaglucan sunscreen. It's quite nice."

"I still love the Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Watery Toner Plus. They did different packaging but the product still feels ultimately the same. It's extremely lightweight and gentle."
✓Yay
"All around great moisturizer regardless of your skin type because it's really hydrating but absorbs really quickly and really lightweight at the same time. It contains five different types of hyaluronic acid that really helps to improve skin hydration and add softness to the skin, infused with plant-derived extracts that helps to support the skin barrier and helps to soothe the skin. It has plant-derived oils but it's not heavy or thick or sticky."
✓Yay
"I've gifted it to people, this is my absolute favorite. It's affordable. [...] This has eight types of hyaluronic acids, so even if I don't wear a moisturizer on certain days and I just use this I'm good to go. In fact most days I just use this. It blends stickiness and you know mattifying and glow are actually opposite, common sense, but I don't know how it does it. So if your normal, dry, combination skin type, this is what I recommend."
✓Yay
"The green tea toner is one of the best antioxidant toners I've ever used. On days that you're not exfoliating, I would definitely recommend this."

"I love it. It [...] has hyaluronic acid in it, and [...] this combines eight types of hyaluronic acid in the sunscreen itself. This is one of the best sunscreens I've ever used. If you know that SPF is your BFF, this needs to be on your shelf and on your face. If you are super super sensitive, I have found this to be okay. It's not nearly as irritating to me as other chemical sunscreens, but it is chemical/organic, so be aware of that. But I freaking love this."

✓Yay
"The Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Watery Toner Plus is a chemical sunscreen that I really enjoyed using. [...] It made my skin look really glowy and healthy, subjectively speaking. [...] It is a chemical sunscreen with no cast and some really good filters including Tinosorb M, Tinosorb S, and Uvinul A Plus, which allow for good UVA protection."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.
