Why it's on the Korean shelf

A gel-texture sunscreen that Korean reviewers describe as 'water on the face'. Isntree is one of the quiet, ingredient-first Korean brands that rarely advertises.

Who it's for

Oily and combination skin that wants hydration without heaviness.

Honest note

Gel sunscreens can move under heavy makeup; let it set for a minute.
