Isntree Mugwort Calming Deep Cleansing Balm 100ml

A sherbet-textured cleansing balm powered by mugwort and four types of acids to gently exfoliate

This sherbet-style cleansing balm is infused with concentrated mugwort leaf extract and mugwort oil. The firm texture melts effortlessly on contact with skin, dissolving makeup, dead skin cells, and pore-clogging impurities in one step. Formulated with four types of acids—AHA (exfoliates surface buildup), BHA (dissolves debris deep in pores), PHA (gentle exfoliation for sensitive skin), and LHA (regulates sebum)—it refines skin texture while triple hyaluronic acid locks in hydration even after cleansing.

Visible skin improvements confirmed after 4 weeks of use

Clinical testing showed the following improvements after 4 weeks of use:

• 10.32% improvement in flaky dead skin
• 38.22% improvement in sebum-related buildup
• 17.40% reduction in blackheads
• 18.39% reduction in whiteheads
• 5.20% improvement in skin tone

A formula safe for acne-prone skin

Formulated with eight plant-derived oils including jojoba oil, tamanu oil, and tea tree oil, it cleanses effectively without clogging pores. Tested and confirmed suitable for acne-prone skin, non-irritating (alternative test), and gentle on sensitive skin, it can be used comfortably even around the delicate eye area. The built-in spatula ensures hygienic application, and when emulsified with lukewarm water, it rinses away completely with no residue.

First step in your skincare routine: the double-cleanse opener

A cleansing balm is your first-step cleanser, designed to dissolve makeup and sunscreen. Its oil-based formula melts away oil-based makeup and impurities with ease, so following up with a foam or gel cleanser ensures a truly thorough cleanse. This first step is key to helping your toner, essence, and moisturizer absorb properly.

Your evening routine essential

Use this in your evening routine to remove makeup. Even on no-makeup days, it's perfect for dissolving sunscreen, sebum, and fine dust that build up throughout the day. In the morning, a gentle foam cleanser is usually enough, so save this one for your PM routine.

Scoop with the built-in spatula and melt like sorbet

Using the built-in spatula, scoop out a generous amount with dry hands. The firm, sorbet-like texture melts into a silky oil on contact with skin. Gently massage in circular motions all over your face to dissolve makeup. Spend a little extra time around the nose if blackheads are a concern. Add a small amount of water to emulsify—the balm will turn milky—then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.

Pairing with your next steps by skin concern

• If pores and texture are your focus: Follow with a low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid toner to flood skin with hydration, then seal with a lightweight moisturizer.
• If post-breakout marks bother you: After cleansing, apply an onion extract gel cream to support skin texture recovery.
• If you have acne-prone skin: This product has completed acne-prone skin suitability testing, so it's safe to use. For best results, pair it with a non-comedogenic second cleanser.

Ingredient notes and storage tips

This balm contains AHA (exfoliating), BHA (pore-clearing), PHA (gentle exfoliation), and LHA (sebum control). Because it's rinsed off quickly during cleansing, irritation is minimal—but if your skin feels sensitive, shorten your massage time. Due to its high oil content, a white marbling effect may appear on the surface over time; this doesn't affect product quality. Store in a cool place away from direct sunlight and use within 12 months of opening.
