Green tea is one of the most popular Korean skincare ingredients and with good reason - it is rich in polyphenol (catechins) & is proven to be a powerful antioxidant. It protects the skin from UV damage (free radicals), it is also an anti-inflammatory (helps reduce redness & irritation), anticarcinogenic & antimicrobial. Because of these properties, it is a fantastic ingredient to add to your skincare routine.
But, just like everything else out there, there are different qualities of green tea extracts (depending on climate, season, age of the leaf and how it was grown). A good quality green tea extract contains 50-90% catechins, have a brownish colour and has a characteristic tea-like smell. This is where the Isntree Green Tea Fresh Toner comes in. When I wanted to add a high-quality green tea product to my routine, I knew I had to pick this up.
