So I mainly use toners and serums, occasionally mixing a tiny bit of cream with serum. But even this sometimes causes blemishes, so I went looking for a product that would replenish moisture while reducing oiliness. That's when I found the Isntree Green Tea Fresh Emulsion. **Great summer emulsion for oil-moisture balance** As summer approached and my sebum production increased, causing constant acne, I started using this emulsion I had bought in preparation for summer. Honestly, for the first week, I couldn't see how this was supposed to balance oil and moisture. I kept using it since I had already opened it, and after about a month, I noticed a significant reduction in oiliness. As the oil decreased, my acne naturally subsided too. Using it in the sequence of toner - Isntree Green Tea Fresh Emulsion - serum worked perfectly for me.
Cons*Lacks hydration While it's great that it reduced oiliness, the emulsion seems to lack hydration. Even with my oily skin, I had to apply it twice plus serum in summer, and twice plus serum and cream or three times plus serum in winter. *Limited oil reduction Although it significantly reduced oiliness, for someone with extremely oily skin like me, it was still quite oily. If I used to get acne constantly before, with this emulsion I would get acne, it would subside, then I'd have a few days' break before the next breakout. This means the oil wasn't reduced to the most ideal level. I wish it could reduce oil even more, but I realize if it did, it would probably provide even less hydration than it does now. So this might be the best compromise. *Didn't feel necessary in winter My skin is extremely oily in summer, but just right in winter. So in winter, I only need to slightly replenish moisture and maintain oil levels. Since this emulsion lacks hydration, I didn't feel the need to use it in winter. I'm still using it because I have some left over from summer, but I can't really tell the difference between when I use it and when I don't... If the hydration aspect could be improved, it could become a year-round emulsion for oily skin types.
TipI think this could help control excess oil for oily skin types in summer, and for very oily skin types during spring, summer, and fall.
