Dealing with constant shine and redness in Mauritius' humid climate can be frustrating. This feather-light serum is your daily solution, formulated with a potent 77% concentration of antioxidant-rich Green Tea from Jeju Island. It works to regulate excess oil, calm inflammation, and deliver a burst of hydration without any sticky or heavy feel, leaving your skin balanced, comfortable, and fresh.

• Who it's for: Especially beneficial for those with oily, combination, and acne-prone skin who struggle with excess shine, redness, and dehydration in a tropical climate.
• What it does: Harnesses the power of Jeju Green Tea to control sebum production, soothe irritation, and provide lightweight, water-based hydration. Its antioxidant properties help protect skin from environmental stressors.
• What to expect: Skin immediately feels refreshed, hydrated, and less greasy. With consistent use over 2-4 weeks, you can expect a visible reduction in daytime oiliness and a calmer, more balanced complexion.

Simplify your routine while getting powerful results. Here’s how to start:

1. Cleanse: Wash your face with a gentle cleanser to create a clean base. Pat dry.
2. Apply Serum: Dispense 2-3 drops of the Isntree Green Tea Fresh Serum and gently pat it into your skin until absorbed.
3. Seal & Protect: In the morning, follow with your favorite sunscreen. In the evening, follow with a lightweight moisturiser.

Mindful Tip: Already own a similar hydrating serum? Finish that bottle first to avoid waste before introducing this one.

Start your day fresh and balanced with this simple morning routine:

• Step 1: Cleanse
  Wash with a gentle, low-pH cleanser.
• Step 2: Isntree Green Tea Fresh Serum
  Apply 2-3 drops to calm skin and control oil throughout the day.
• Step 3: Moisturiser (Optional)
  If your skin feels tight or your sunscreen isn't hydrating enough, apply a lightweight gel moisturiser. Many oily skin types in Mauritius find the serum and sunscreen provide enough moisture.
• Step 4: Sunscreen
  Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30+. This is the most crucial step to protect your skin and the results of your routine.

Pro Tip: Wait about 60 seconds between applying the serum and your sunscreen to prevent pilling and ensure both products work effectively.

Your evening routine is for cleansing the day away and helping your skin repair overnight:

• Step 1: Double Cleanse
  Start with an oil cleanser to melt away sunscreen and makeup, then follow with a water-based foam or gel cleanser.
• Step 2: Isntree Green Tea Fresh Serum
  Apply 2-3 drops to soothe any irritation from the day and provide essential hydration.
• Step 3: Moisturiser
  Finish with a lightweight gel or cream moisturiser to lock in hydration and support your skin barrier overnight.

Daily Use — AM & PM:

• Amount: Use 2-3 drops for the entire face and neck. A little goes a long way.
• How to Apply: After cleansing and toning, dispense onto your palms and gently pat into the skin until fully absorbed. Avoid rubbing.
• Frequency: Safe for use twice daily, both morning and evening.

If-This, Then-That Guide:

• If you have a very oily T-zone, apply a thinner layer there. You may find this serum plus your sunscreen is enough moisture for the morning.
• If your cheeks feel dry (combination skin), you can apply a slightly more generous amount there and follow up with a targeted cream on just the dry areas.
• If your skin is sensitive, start by using it only once a day (PM) for the first week to ensure your skin is happy before moving to twice daily.
• If using under makeup, allow the serum to absorb for 60 seconds before applying sunscreen or primer to prevent pilling.

Safety Note: Always apply to clean skin. Avoid contact with the immediate eye area. Discontinue use if a persistent rash or irritation occurs.

Skincare is a journey, not a race. Here’s a realistic timeline based on the ingredients' mechanisms:

• Immediately: Your skin will feel instantly hydrated, refreshed, and soothed. You may notice a subtle reduction in surface shine.
• Within 2-4 Weeks: With consistent daily use, you should notice a visible reduction in overall oiliness and sebum production during the day. Any redness or inflammation will appear calmer.
• After 8+ Weeks: The antioxidant benefits become more apparent. Your skin's overall tone and health will look more balanced. The appearance of pores may be refined due to better oil control.

Individual results can vary. Consistent use, especially alongside daily sunscreen, is key to achieving the best results.

The Myth: "Oily skin needs harsh, alcohol-based toners and should avoid hydration to stay matte."

The Reality: Stripping your skin of its natural oils can backfire, causing it to produce even more sebum to compensate. This leads to a vicious cycle of oiliness and dehydration. Oily skin craves balance, not punishment.

Why This is a Better Alternative: The Isntree Green Tea Fresh Serum replaces this harsh approach with a smart one. It delivers lightweight, water-based hydration that signals to your skin it doesn't need to overproduce oil. The green tea extract works to gently regulate sebum, calming the skin instead of stripping it, leading to a healthier, more balanced complexion over time.

This serum is designed to be a team player in your routine.

• ✅ Works Well With:
  • Niacinamide: Pairs perfectly to enhance oil control, brighten skin, and refine the appearance of pores.
  • Hyaluronic Acid: Layer this serum before or after a hyaluronic acid product for an extra boost of lightweight hydration.
  • Sunscreen: An essential partner. The antioxidants in green tea boost your sunscreen's protective power against environmental damage.
  • Gentle Cleansers: Use after a low-pH cleanser to maintain a healthy skin barrier.
• ⚠️ Use With Caution:
  • Retinoids & Strong Acids (AHAs/BHAs): This serum is an excellent buffer. You can apply it before stronger actives to help reduce potential irritation and provide a layer of soothing hydration.

• 🟢 Excellent For:
  • Oily Skin: The star player. Helps regulate sebum and provides perfect, non-greasy hydration.
  • Combination Skin: Balances the oily T-zone without drying out other areas.
  • Acne-Prone Skin: Its anti-inflammatory properties help soothe breakouts and control the excess oil that can lead to them.
• 🟡 Good For:
  • Sensitive Skin: Being fragrance-free and packed with calming ingredients makes it a great choice, but a patch test is always recommended.
  • Normal Skin: Provides lightweight antioxidant protection and hydration, especially in humid weather.
• 🔴 Use With Caution:
  • Very Dry Skin: This serum alone will not be moisturizing enough. It can be used as a hydrating, antioxidant layer, but must be followed by a richer, more emollient cream.

This serum is expertly formulated to address the interconnected issues common in oily and combination skin, especially in a tropical climate:

• Excess Sebum & Shine: Its primary function is to help balance oil production, leading to a less greasy complexion throughout the day.
• Redness & Irritation: Green tea and Centella Asiatica are powerful soothing agents that calm inflammation and reduce visible redness.
• Dehydrated Oily Skin: Tackles the common problem where skin is oily on the surface but lacks water, feeling tight and uncomfortable.
• Enlarged Pore Appearance: By controlling sebum and keeping pores clear, it can help make them appear smaller and more refined.
• Environmental Protection: Packed with antioxidants, it helps defend your skin against free radical damage from UV exposure and pollution.

• Fragrance: This product is formulated to be fragrance-free and does not contain any added artificial fragrances or essential oils, making it an excellent choice for sensitive skin.

• EU Allergens: None of the 26 declarable fragrance allergens are listed in the formula.

• General Safety: This product is formulated for external use only. Avoid direct contact with eyes.
• Who Should Use With Caution: While formulated for sensitivity, individuals with known allergies to any of the listed botanical extracts should exercise caution.
• Patch Test Protocol: Before using for the first time, we strongly recommend a patch test.
  1. Apply a small, pea-sized amount of the serum to a clean, discreet area of skin, like behind your ear or on your inner jawline.
  2. Wait 24 hours to observe for any signs of irritation, such as redness, itching, or burning.
  3. If no reaction occurs, the product is likely safe for you to use on your face. If irritation develops, discontinue use.

• Texture: A lightweight, slightly viscous watery-gel serum.
• Feel on Skin: Spreads easily and absorbs quickly, leaving a fresh, hydrated feel without any stickiness, greasiness, or heavy residue.
• Finish: Dries down to a natural, satin finish. Skin looks plump and hydrated, not overly dewy or matte.
• pH: Approximately 5.8 (slightly acidic), which helps support a healthy skin barrier.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Safety: This formula is generally considered safe for those concerned with fungal acne, as it is free from most common trigger ingredients like fatty acids and esters. The only potential flag is a very small amount of Camellia Sinensis Seed Oil at the end of the list, which is unlikely to cause issues for most.

• "It's not hydrating enough for my skin."
  This serum is designed for lightweight hydration. If you have dry or dehydrated skin, it's not meant to be a standalone moisturiser. Solution: Use it as a hydrating and soothing layer, and be sure to follow it with a richer cream or a few drops of facial oil to seal in the moisture.
• "My skin feels a little tight after it dries."
  This can happen if you apply a humectant-rich serum to dry skin in a very dry environment (like an air-conditioned room). Solution: Apply the serum to slightly damp skin to give the humectants (like Sodium Hyaluronate) water to hold onto. Always follow with a moisturiser to lock everything in.
• "It's pilling under my sunscreen or makeup."
  Pilling usually occurs from applying too much product or not allowing layers to absorb. Solution: Use only 2-3 drops for your whole face. Gently pat it in, and wait at least 60 seconds for it to fully absorb before applying your next step.

This serum is exceptionally well-suited for the Mauritian climate.

• Humid Summers: Its lightweight, non-sticky texture is perfect for hot and humid weather. It provides necessary hydration without feeling heavy or contributing to a greasy feel. The green tea helps control the excess sebum production that many experience in our climate.
• Drier Winters & Air-Conditioning: During the slightly drier winter months or if you spend a lot of time in air-conditioned environments, this serum provides a great base layer of hydration. Simply follow up with a slightly more substantial moisturiser to prevent trans-epidermal water loss.
• Sun & Pollution Protection: With high UV levels year-round, the antioxidant properties of the green tea extract provide an extra layer of defense against environmental damage when used under your daily sunscreen.

The effectiveness of this serum is rooted in the proven benefits of its key ingredients:

• Green Tea Extract (Camellia Sinensis): (Ingredient Rationale) Multiple studies confirm that topical application of green tea polyphenols (EGCG) has significant sebum-reducing, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant effects. A clinical study demonstrated that a 3% green tea topical significantly reduced oil output in subjects, making it ideal for managing oily and acne-prone skin.
• Niacinamide: (Ingredient Rationale) Supported by extensive research, Niacinamide at concentrations of 2-5% has been clinically shown to reduce sebum excretion rates, improve skin barrier function by increasing ceramide synthesis, and visibly reduce hyperpigmentation.
• Adenosine: (Ingredient Rationale & MFDS Approval) Adenosine is a well-researched cell-communicating ingredient. Clinical studies have demonstrated its ability to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, which is why it is officially recognized by the South Korean MFDS as a functional anti-wrinkle ingredient.

Can I use this serum if I have sensitive skin?

Yes, this serum is specifically formulated without fragrance or essential oils, making it a good option for many with sensitive skin. However, we always recommend performing a patch test first to be safe.

Is this serum hydrating enough to be my only moisturiser?

For very oily skin types in peak summer humidity, it might be. For most people, however, it should be treated as a hydrating and treatment serum, to be followed by a separate moisturiser (even a lightweight one) to lock in its benefits.

Will this help shrink my pores?

Pore size is largely genetic and cannot be permanently shrunk. However, this serum can make pores appear smaller and more refined by controlling the excess oil that can stretch them out and keeping them clean.

Can I use this with my Vitamin C serum?

Yes. You can layer them. A popular method is to apply Vitamin C in the morning for its antioxidant benefits and use the Green Tea serum at night for calming and repair. Alternatively, you can apply the Green Tea serum after your Vitamin C has fully absorbed.
