Why we like it
This ampoule is the go-to for sensitive skin types! With 85% mugwort extract, it promises to restore your skin’s barrier to its natural, healthy state. The ingredient list is short, simple but packed with amazing and effective things such as allantoin, panthenol and liquorice root extract.
Star Ingredients
Artemisia Princeps Extract – Artemisia is also know as mugwort and is somewhat of a wonder ingredient. It helps calm and soothe redness and assists with preventing acne/breakouts. It’s also packed with Vitamin A which is great for skin renewal and regeneration (goodbye fine lines and wrinkles!) as well as Vitamin C which is a skin brightening and antioxidative ingredient!
Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract – An ingredient that is a potent antioxidant and is also perfect for soothing sensitive and reddened skin. It also has the potentital to improve uneven skin tones.
Betaine – A gentle hydrating ingredient that also naturally occurs in your skin and body. It’s known as an osmolyte, an ingredient that helps skin adapt to moisture losses and gains, essentially working to balance skin’s hydration.
Panthenol – A humectant that hydrates the skin by attracting water to it and holding it in as well as an emollient that smoothes and softens the skin.
Allantoin – An ingredient that is gentle enough for sensitive skin and is anti-inflammatory and hydrating. It is also a powerful antioxidant and has wrinkle-smoothing and exfoliating properties.
Ceramide NP – An anti-ageing ingredient that reinforces your skin’s barrier and increases hydration — giving you plumper, smoother, firmer-feeling skin with fewer visible lines and wrinkles as well as fewer signs of sensitivity. A strengthened skin barrier also protects your skin from damaging environmental stresses.

This product is actually amazing. It doesn’t really have a smell and it feels very watery. Serums can be very oily sometimes which makes then quite uncomfortable but this one is extremely light and not oily at all.
I have very very sensitive skin (I am literally sensitive to aloe vera) and I really recommend this because it feels amazing on my skin and it doesn’t make me sensitive at all. I’ve been using this for over a week now and my skin is glowing!

I received a sample size of this product that led me to purchasing the bottle as it really calmed my inflamed areas and hormonal breakouts. No fragrance, watery texture and beautiful packaging. A drop per area on face so will last a while.

This is my ultimate holy grail serum!!! It is absolutely amazing. It’s super lightweight on the skin due to its watery consistency and absorbs super quick. It helps so much with redness and inflammation of the skin. Love this product !

This serum is incredible! Extremely soothing and calming, it actually visibly reduces my redness (which is amazing when you’re dealing with rosacea and PIE). You also get a lot of product so it’ll last you a long time, when I’m finished with mine I’ll be repurchasing right away. If you’re dealing with any kind of inflammation, this serum is a MUST.

Used this for about 2 and half months .. amazing for calming & soothing irritated and or inflamed acne. To be honest that’s just about it for me, I have oily-combo skin and all this did was smooth, calm and moisturize my skin. Did not really fade my hyperpigmentation.

Wow! If ever there was a product that over delivers, this is it. This was ordered in my 1st haul so I waited to try it out for at least 2 months before I did my review.
Firstly, a little goes a very long way, I still have some left – going onto 3 months now. Incredibly lightweight and soothing. I knew that the Mugwort ingredient would be great for large pores, pimples etc but I had no idea it will help with a skin irritation I developed due to harsh hand sanitizers. The Isntree spot saver mugwort ampoule immediately soothed and relieved the dry, itching flakes on my hands and within a few days it started to heal. I would definitely recommend this product!

For the first time in my life, my period has come and gone twice without a single cystic acne break out. Small pimples threaten but quickly dissipate. This is beyond holy grail. Worth every penny and lasts a really long. I believe the price is due to the very large size (I’d say this is double the size of normal drop serums) and the excellent QUALITY.
