ISNTREE Ultra-Low Molecular Hyaluronic Acid Toner Review

“Is it hydrating? Technically. Is it satisfying? Emotionally… no.”

 

 

Let me preface this by saying I’m not new to toners. In fact, I’m an unapologetic fan of the creamy, milky, or essence-heavy kind. I like my toners to do something — coat the skin, prep it with a bit of bounce, add some texture back before serums. You get it. But as spring rolled into summer, I thought maybe it was time to dial it back. Something lightweight, something refreshing. Enter this toner.

 

It’s got “ultra-low molecular” in the name, so I figured I’d be drenching my skin in deep hydration without the weight. Instead, what I got is… water. With a budget.

 

 

To its credit, it’s not irritating. No fragrance, no sticky residue, no dramatic reactions. It glides on like water (because it’s essentially water), absorbs instantly, and disappears just as quickly. If I layer it three, maybe four times, I can kind of feel a hydration film forming. But am I crazy for expecting more from something with “ultra-low molecular hyaluronic acid” as the headline?

 

My skin didn’t hate it. But it didn’t particularly love it either. I didn’t see a change in plumpness or texture. It didn’t make my skin worse — but also didn’t do enough for me to reach for it again.

 

To be brutally honest, this falls under the category of what I call “expensive water.” The kind that looks promising on a shelf but gives the same results as misting your face with a spray bottle and calling it a skincare routine.

 

So would I recommend it?

If your skin is extremely oily, hates layers, and reacts to anything thicker than air, this might be your friend.

 

If you’re like me — combo to dry, prefers a bit of substance, and wants your toner to feel like it’s doing something — maybe not.

 

Not the worst. Not the best. Just very… neutral. A diplomatic skincare product, if you will.

    I loved their watery gel so I was thinking to get some summer skincare from ISNTREE but now I think I'll just get ones from Round Lab lol

    But what if you were to use this during super hot summer? I'm looking for a proper sunscreen I can use during the summer and I can't decide which one to settle 😭

    @Influencer Never did either until this post! I've seen several times on amazon but not sure if people actually talked about this a lot

    Omg THANK YOU for saying this. I kept seeing rave reviews and bought it expecting some magical hydration boost...only to realize I'd basically paid $20 for fancy water. My dry skin was like 'where's the rest of it??' Back to my Hada Labo Gokujyun for actual results.

    How does this compare to the Cosrx Hydrium toner? I'm combo/oily and looking for something truly lightweight for summer. Another q - does it work better if you layer it over damp skin?

    This is why I don't trust molecular weight-marketing. Most HA toners are just overpriced humectant water unless they're formulated with supporting ingredients.

    The beauty industry really said 'how thin can we make the product while charging more?'
