[isntree] Hyaluronic Acid Water Essence 50ml

Product Overview

A concentrated hydrating essence formulated with eight forms of hyaluronic acid alongside glycerin, betaine, trehalose, sodium PCA, panthenol and beta-glucan to help replenish moisture in dry and dehydrated skin.

The formula also combines lightweight emollients with niacinamide, oat extract, hydrogenated lecithin and prickly pear seed oil, giving it both humectant hydration and additional skin-conditioning support.

Its lightweight texture makes it an easy hydration layer beneath moisturiser for both morning and evening routines.

Why We Chose It

Glass Ritual chose the Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Water Essence because it offers a comprehensive humectant system rather than relying on hyaluronic acid alone.

Alongside its eight forms of hyaluronic acid, the formula contains glycerin, betaine, trehalose, sodium PCA, panthenol and beta-glucan — ingredients that work together to support water retention and a softer, more comfortable skin feel.

Niacinamide provides additional barrier and tone support, while hydrogenated lecithin and prickly pear seed oil contribute light conditioning.

This makes it a strong dedicated hydration essence for skin that needs more moisture without a heavy cream-like treatment step.

Follow with an appropriate moisturiser to help retain hydration.

Use morning and/or evening according to your skin's needs.

Ritual Position

Cleanse → Toner → Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Water Essence → Serum if needed → Moisturiser

This is primarily a concentrated humectant hydration step.

Glass Ritual Pairing

For oily but dehydrated skin, pair with a lightweight moisturiser to provide moisture retention without creating an unnecessarily heavy routine.

For dry and dehydrated skin, follow with a richer moisturiser containing appropriate emollients and barrier-supporting lipids.

Because this essence already contains multiple forms of hyaluronic acid plus several additional humectants, another dedicated hyaluronic-acid serum may not be necessary.
