Take the skin testA leave-on, gentle daily exfoliant with 7% PHA and enzyme from Green Tea to visibly smooth and even out rough texture while hydrating skin
Green Tea Enzyme 7% PHA Gentle Exfoliating Toner is a watery-light toner from innisfree, a brand based in Korea. The formula is built mainly around hydration. The ingredient list runs to 19 ingredients, each broken down in full below.
By its ingredient list the formula reads as very light — essentially a water-and-humectant base with little emollient weight. With almost no emollient load it should absorb quickly and finish close to matte. Hydration is handled by Glycerin, Butylene Glycol and Betaine, humectants that pull water into the upper layers of skin rather than sealing it there.
Hydration: High. Ingredients that pull and hold water in the upper layers of skin, and here that comes from Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Betaine and Propanediol.
Brightening: Moderate. Ingredients that act on uneven tone and post-inflammatory marks, and here that comes from Gluconolactone and Tocopherol.
Cell renewal: Moderate. Retinoids, acids and enzymes that speed surface turnover, and here that comes from Gluconolactone.
On richness alone it suits Combination (oily) and Oily skin best, and is the least natural fit for Dry and Combination (dry) skin. Nothing in the list is flagged as a common irritant, which is a reasonable starting point for reactive skin — though a patch test is still the only way to know.
The formula contributes little or nothing on barrier support and firmness signalling. That is not a fault — most products are not meant to do everything — but if one of those is your priority, this is not the product that will address it. One ingredient on the label has not been matched to our database yet, so the analysis above reads a slightly incomplete list.
It can be used morning and evening. In a routine it goes after cleansing, before serums. Apply to slightly damp skin so the humectants have water to hold on to.
This summary is generated from the product's ingredient list. It is not a review, it is not the brand's own marketing claims, and it does not replace advice from a dermatologist.
Drawn purely from the ingredient list
Scored on how rich or light the formula reads from its INCI order.
No ingredient in this formula carries a common-irritant flag, making it a reasonable option for reactive skin. A patch test is still recommended, as individual skin reactivity varies.
