The manufacturer of the ingredient did a published study with 27 people and examined the effect of 0.1% beta-glucan. They found that despite the large molecular size the smaller factions of beta-glucan penetrate into the skin, even into the dermis (the middle layer of the skin where wrinkles form). After 8 weeks there was a significant reduction of wrinkle depth and height and skin roughness has also improved greatly. The Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Toner Plus has no discernible scent at all, not even a chemical smell like many of the unfragranced toners I’ve tried. You also only need a small amount, as it spreads out well – I would use your palms to apply this and not use a cotton pad. A handy multi-tasking ingredient that gives the skin a nice, soft feel and also boosts the effectiveness of other preservatives.

Humid weather is ideal for hyaluronic acid, as HA pulls water from the air and binds it to the skin. Otherwise you risk having your skin become even more dehydrated since the HA will try to draw in that moisture from your skin. To avoid this, you can apply an occlusive at the end of your routine to prevent that water loss. Btw, crosslinking HA was developed for dermal fillers (as crosslinking helps their longevity), and this guy is the topical version of FDA approved dermal filler calledHylan B gel. Smearing crosslinked version all over ourselvesis a newish thing, and incoming evidence so far suggests that it's a great idea, even better than normal HA. Propanediol is a natural alternative for the often usedand often bad-mouthed propylene glycol. It's produced sustainably from corn sugar and it's Ecocert approved. A famous natural moisturizing factor that can bind up to 1000 times its own weight in water. Works as an excellent surface hydrator in skincare. There can be huge quality differences between green tea extracts. The good ones contain 50-90% catechins (and often make the product brown and give it a distinctive smell)What seems to be a true difference, though, is that the salt form is more stable, easier to formulate andcheaper so it pops up more often on the ingredient lists. Oh, and one more thing: glabridin seems to be also an antioxidant, which is just one more reason to be happy about licorice root extract on an ingredient list. Yes, 100%. Not only are all of ISNTREE’s products made to undergo rigorous dermatological testing before they are able to be sold, they are also derived from many gentle and natural ingredients. All of this combined ensures that ISNTREE’s products are a great choice for those of all skin-types, including those with sensitive skin. WHAT OTHER PRODUCTS DO YOU RECOMMEND?
