Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Water. It's the most common cosmetic ingredient of all. You'll usually see it at the top of ingredient lists, meaning that it makes up the largest part of the product.
So why is it so popular? Water most often acts as a solvent - this means that it helps dissolve other ingredients into the formulation.
You'll also recognize water as that liquid we all need to stay alive. If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!

On the technical side of things, xanthan gum is a polysaccharide - a combination consisting of multiple sugar molecules bonded together.
Xanthan gum is a pretty common and great ingredient. It is a natural, non-toxic, non-irritating ingredient that is also commonly used in food products.

You might see Ethylhexylglycerin often paired with other preservatives such as phenoxyethanol. Ethylhexylglycerin has been found to increase the effectiveness of these other preservatives.

Isntree Green Tea Fresh Cleanser 30 ingredients
It's a very gentle cleanser. I use it whenever my skin barrier is damaged since it has 3 types of hyaluronic acid and feels non-stripping.
It has a slight matcha fragrance and a gel like consistency. It's good for sensitive skin as it also helps in reducing redness on the face but might not be enough for someone with oily skin.
Overall it's a great product and worth the price
- made me break out
- made my chin itchy

It's a gentle gel-cleanser that is suitable to any skin-type but better on oily skin due to it's texture. It's very basic in this regard and that's not a bad thing. It doesn't target any skin concern specifically so if that's what you're after, I wouldn't recommend this product but I'd use it as a "shower cleanser" or something you would use on the morning or in the middle of the day.

Basic cleanser! Doesn’t do much for fighting acne but is a nice simple cleanser that doesn’t leave skin dry or make acne worse. Good place to start when battling fungal acne
