How it works
The Green Tea Fresh Emulsion is a 120ml lotion, used as the last skincare step, morning and evening, over serum. The plant extract it is built around is Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, named second on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Allantoin, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate and Beta-Glucan, so the plant extract is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the lotion format rather than by the list alone. This is the Original Korean Formula, the lotion Isntree sells in Korea, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract and all.

Key actives
Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extractplant extract
Camellia Sinensis is the tea plant. Green tea leaf extract carries catechins, among the most studied plant antioxidants, and is used for the look of redness and oily shine. The name on the box points at it, and it is named second on this lotion's own ingredient list.
Allantoinactive
Allantoin is a comfrey-derived compound used to condition skin and soften the outer layer so it feels smoother. It is one of the standard additions to a formula built for easily irritated skin. The panel names it sixteenth on this lotion's list, beside Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract.
Dipotassium Glycyrrhizateactive
Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate is a water-soluble salt derived from licorice root. It is named eighteenth on this lotion's list, alongside Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract.
Beta-Glucanpolysaccharide
Beta-Glucan is a polysaccharide from oats or yeast. It holds a large amount of water, forms a soothing film, and is one of the ingredients formulators reach for in products aimed at reactive skin. The panel names it seventeenth on this lotion's list, beside Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract.
Centella Asiatica Extractplant extract
Centella Asiatica is the plant behind the whole cica category, sold as gotu kola or Madagascar centella. Its extract is the anchor of Korean formulas built for easily reddened skin, and its work is done by four triterpenes: asiaticoside, madecassoside, asiatic acid and madecassic acid. The panel names it ninth on this lotion's list, beside Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract.
Isntree Green Tea Fresh Emulsion
Where does this lotion go in my routine?
As the last skincare step, morning and evening, over serum. Anything thinner than a lotion 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 Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract and not three changes at once.
Is this the Korean-market lotion or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract and all. We match this lotion 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 Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract?
Allantoin, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate and Beta-Glucan. The order they are printed in on this lotion's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Centella Asiatica Extract, Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Extract and Vaccinium Angustifolium Fruit Extract.

How to use
- Use the Green Tea Fresh Emulsion as the last skincare step, morning and evening, over serum.
- One or two pumps for the face and neck, pressed in with flat palms rather than rubbed.
- Serum first, this second, then sunscreen in the morning. On dry skin a richer cream can go over it at night.
- Twice a day. Do not decant it into a smaller jar to travel with; an emulsion in a pump is packaged that way to keep it stable.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this lotion on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract on the list.
- Introduce this lotion on its own for the first week, so anything your skin does is traceable to the Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract rather than to three changes at once.
