Fit by skin type
General, ingredient-based — not your personalized match.
See how this fits your skin
Take the skin test and I'll show you how suitable this product is for you.
Take the skin testThe Isntree Mugwort Calming Ampoule is a potent serum designed to purify and rejuvenate the complexion. Infused with 85% wormwood extract, it delivers soothing nourishment to tired or damaged skin, promoting a revitalized and strengthened barrier. This serum effectively calms irritation and purifies the skin, leaving it feeling refreshed and balanced.
Mugwort Calming Ampoule is a lightweight ampoule from Isntree. 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 light: water and humectants lead, with emollients kept lower in the order. 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 Panthenol.
Soothing: Moderate. Ingredients aimed at visible redness and reactivity, and here that comes from Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract, Panthenol, Beta-glucan and Allantoin.
On richness alone it suits Balanced, 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 antioxidant protection, oil control, cell renewal 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.
Reading the full list, the formula is fragrance-free, essential-oil-free, no drying alcohol, paraben-free, silicone-free and microplastic-free. Those claims come from the ingredient list itself, not from the packaging.
It can be used morning and evening. In a routine it goes after toner, before moisturiser. Apply to clean, dry skin and give it a minute to absorb before the next layer. Introduce one new treatment at a time so you can identify what is working.
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.
