Hey K-Beauty’s Review
It’s been a little over 1 month since I used this product. I didn’t use it daily but approximately 2 times a week. I put the entire case in the refrigerator and used it on hot days or when I felt my skin got especially irritated. Rather than using it as a toner, I enjoyed it as a mask – put 1~2 pads each on cheek, forehead, and chin.Â
This product helped to soothe my skin. I could feel the skin redness slightly relieved after use. It is very watery and lightweight, so I didn’t have to worry about it causing any skin trouble or irritation. However, I didn’t find it moisturizing or nourishing. Very spot on to its main goal – soothing and non-irritating.Â
If you’re going to use it as a mask as I did, I would say don’t use it too long – to say, over 10 minutes. Since it is very lightweight and watery, it dries out quite fast as well so before it gets too dry and takes moisture from your skin, just remove the pads.
2. Isntree Mugwort Ampoule
Basic Info
- Quantity: 50ml (1.69oz)
- Texture: watery, no fragrance
Claims
- The soothing effect from Artemisia princeps extract (*Time-Drop extraction method maximized the effectiveness of mugwort)
- Skin irritation test completed with 0.00 irritation levelÂ
- Completed the metals (lead, arsenic, mercury) & microorganisms (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, aerobic live bacteria) test with the result of ‘not detected’
Ingredient
Except for just one ingredient that doesn’t have the rating, all ingredients fall under the Low Hazard group. No concern over its ingredient list. I like the fact that Artemisia Princeps Extract comes the very first instead of water.Â

Piper Methysticum Leat/Root/Stem Extract
Hey K-Beauty’s Review
It’s been a little over 1 month since I used this product. I used it daily, at least one time either in the morning or evening.Â
This product helped calm my skin. Similar to the toner pads, I could feel the skin redness slightly relieved after use. However, it felt too watery and lightweight to become an ampoule and was not moisturizing enough as I expected. I had to use a good moisturizer – mugwort cream in this set – after this product. If you have dry skin, you would want to use it with more rich/heavy moisturizer or mix it with face oil.

Theobroma Cacao (Cacao) Seed Extract
Hey K-Beauty’s Review
It’s been a little over 1 month since I used this product. I used it daily, at least one time either in the morning or evening.Â
Actually, this cream became the highlight/hero of this set for me. It is soothing AND moisturizing at the same time. Very lightweight, watery texture but I could feel the moisture stayed locked down until the next morning. If you’re looking for an effective but lightweight moisturizer, this might be the one for you!
4. Isntree Spot Saver Mugwort Gauze Mask
Basic Info
- Quantity: 2EA in the set
- Texture: gauze sheet with holesÂ

Hey K-Beauty’s Review
I only used this product one time, and I could feel my skin relieved and soothed. Gauze material felt more cooling somehow. Generous amount of liquid (ampoule) inside so that I could use it on my arm elbows and tip of my hair.Â
Conclusion
Isntree Spot Saver Mugwort Special Set Rating: ★★★★☆Â
Overall, great, great value! A decent group of soothing products. Even though I didn’t see dramatic/noticeable results, I would use it again as a daily skincare set in the Summer or on the days when my skin got irritated. I especially like the cream – unlike its lightweight texture, it is very hydrating and my skin feels plumped in the next morning. I honestly liked the cream better than ampoule which I had a higher expectation. Shop Now at Olive Young.
