Assalamualaikum and hello~
K-beauty market is raving about sunscreen nowadays, so I know I need to hop to the trend too! But obviously, I can't buy 2 types of sunscreen at the same time (self control is key, lol), so I decided to try the cheaper one first HAHA. In my defense, this sunscreen have a tons on great review and really suits dry skin. Of course, there are other factors that lead me to choose this sunscreen to test first, which I will let you know later.
There are few types of hyaluronic acid sun cream from Isntree brand but the most famous one is the Watery Sun Gel and it is one of the best sellers at Olive Young. I personally doesn't enjoy using gel type sunscreen, so I just grab the natural sun cream.
|| ISNTREE BRAND
This is my first review for products from Isntree (and I know it won't be the last one) so let's get to know this brand a little! The brand focuses on ingredients that are safe for skin and their principles include Active Greeen, Eco-friendly and Living Together. Even the brand logo itself includes a leaf to highlight this. And NGL, what attracts me is that the brand is opposed to animal testing and have green ingredients that is vegan or vegan friendly.

And yes, the brand is from South Korea so, say less about the quality! In K-skincare we trust~
|| HYALURONIC ACID NATURAL SUN CREAM
I think most people know by know what Hyaluronic Acid do to your skin but if you have no idea, Hyaluronic Acid is an ingredient that moisturizes the skin. Hyaluronic Acid is perfect for dry-skinned people (hello~) and can also be used by people with all skin types safely.
This sun cream is a physical sunscreen, a.k.a natural sunscreen, contains 100% zinc oxide that is safe even for sensitive skin. It claims to not have white cast upon application, but honestly my skin looks a bit fairer, which I don't know how to explain on the white cast thingy. Anyway, I love it as it makes my skin looks brighter + healthier, unlike some natural sunscreen that leaves my face plain white.
Here are what the product claims to do:

|| TEXTURE & HOW TO USE
This is the first physical sunscreen that I think is very easy to apply even when I did not put toner beforehand. It's white in color, not watery but slides very easily onto the skin. There is no greasy feeling and it doesn't leave my skin dry.
For the price, I really love this better compared to Laneige Radian-C Sun Cream.
All you need to do is to apply 1-2 fingers of this sunscreen at the end of your skincare routine, and before makeup. It's best to apply toner - cream or vitamin C - sunscreen - makeup. Vitamin C can enhance the function of sunscreen and if you're not sensitive to it, I highly recommend you to try!
|| MY REVIEW
I have been using this sunscreen for more than 3 months and I love it. Here are my review, and I am not sponsored by them:
Pros:
🍃 Moisturizing
🍃 Leaves my skin fairer & glowy
🍃 Very easy to apply
🍃 Unscented (MAJOR LOVE!)
🍃 Very lightweight
🍃 Not greasy
🍃 Vegan / vegan friendly and free from animal testing
🍃 Doesn't clog my pores
🍃 Perfect for pool day as it doesn't smudge easily
🍃 Worth every penny and affordable too!
Cons:
🍂 You really can't take this off with just facial foam. You need to use cleansing balm / cleansing oil, or else it won't even budge. But i love it as it's perfect for swimming~
Where to grab?
Normal Price: RM85.40 (i got it during sale at RM42.70, after applied discount vouchers and free shipping vouchers)
Isntree Official Shopee, Yeoshin Beauty Shopee, Olive young
🍦 As of now, this is my favorite sunscreen (for both function and price). But for the sake of reviewing more sunscreens, I can't wait to try the other sunscreen that have higher rating than this one!
