Isntree Green Tea Fresh Toner
The oily-skin counterpart to Isntree's hyaluronic toner: a thin, fast-drying water layer based on green tea with soothing humectants behind it. There are no acids, which is unusual for a toner aimed at oily skin — the idea is hydration and calm rather than decongestion, on the reasonable premise that stripping oily skin tends to make it oilier.
What it is built around
Who it suits
Oily and combination skin, particularly in summer or a humid climate, and breakout-prone skin already using an exfoliant elsewhere that does not want a second one. Dry or mature skin will find it too slight. Anyone hoping a green tea toner will hold sebum in check across a whole day should temper expectations considerably.
How to use it
After cleansing, morning and night, two thin layers on damp skin. It disappears quickly, which makes it an easy AM step under sunscreen. Follow with a light gel moisturiser rather than skipping the seal — oily skin still needs one, and skipping it is a common reason oily routines stall.

🙋 People also ask
What is a Korean toner and how is it different?
In Korea, toner (called 'skin' or 'skin toner') is usually a gentle, hydrating step that preps and balances skin after cleansing, rather than a harsh astringent. It's meant to add moisture and help following layers absorb, not to strip or tighten the skin.
What is a Korean toner pad?
A pre-soaked cotton or embossed pad delivering a measured dose of toner, or of a mild exfoliating or soothing treatment. It removes the guesswork about how much product to use.
