How it works
The Clear Skin 8% AHA Essence is a 100ml exfoliating toner, used in the evening, after cleansing, on dry skin rather than damp. The active it is built around is Asiaticoside, named eighteenth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Madecassoside, Allantoin and Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, so the active is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Asiaticoside stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the exfoliating toner format rather than by the list alone. This is the Original Korean Formula, the exfoliating toner Isntree sells in Korea, Asiaticoside and all.
Key benefits
- Asiaticoside, the active this exfoliating toner is built around
- Madecassoside, Allantoin and Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate on the same list, actives
- Lactic Acid on the same list, an exfoliant
- Glycolic Acid and Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract further down the same list
- Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract and Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract further down the same list
- Asiaticoside named eighteenth on the manufacturer list printed on this page
How to use
- Use the Clear Skin 8% AHA Essence in the evening, after cleansing, on dry skin rather than damp.
- Sweep it over the face with a cotton pad or fingertips, keeping clear of the eyelids and the corners of the mouth.
- Wait a minute, then carry on with a hydrating layer and your moisturizer the same evening.
- Start at two or three evenings a week and build from there. Do not use it in the same routine as another exfoliating acid or a retinoid.
Isntree Clear Skin 8% AHA Essence
Where does this exfoliating toner go in my routine?
In the evening, after cleansing, on dry skin rather than damp. Anything thinner than an exfoliating toner goes on before it, and anything richer goes on after. If you are adding it to a routine you already like, give it a week on its own first, so what you see is the Asiaticoside and not three changes at once.
Is this the Korean-market exfoliating toner or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Asiaticoside and all. We match this exfoliating toner to its Korean barcode before it reaches the shelf, which is the check that tells you which market release you are holding.
What else is on the list besides Asiaticoside?
Madecassoside, Allantoin and Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate. The order they are printed in on this exfoliating toner's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Asiaticoside sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Lactic Acid, Glycolic Acid and Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract.

Worth knowing
- Patch test this exfoliating toner on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Asiaticoside on the list.
- Glycolic Acid and Lactic Acid on this list makes this exfoliating toner an exfoliating step, so do not stack it with another one on the same night.
