What the product description says
“Facial mist infused with ceramide intensely moisturizes skin, relieving dryness, fatigue and discomfort.”
Source: Yesstyle

This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.

The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water. When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job: glycerin, butylene glycol.

This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: cholesterol, pentylene glycol.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: ceramide ap, ceramide eop, ceramide np, phytosphingosine

What the product description says
“The mist also contains oils from orange, lemongrass, chamomile, bergamot and geranium to smooth wrinkles and promote cell regeneration, and citric acid for gentle exfoliation.”
Source: Yesstyle

This product contains centella asiatica extract. This ingredient might be able to help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness, but there is not enough evidence that it actually works.

What the product description says
“The mist also contains oils from orange, lemongrass, chamomile, bergamot and geranium to smooth wrinkles and promote cell regeneration, and citric acid for gentle exfoliation.”
Source: Yesstyle

This product does not contain effective exfoliating ingredients. It might be able to deliver physical exfoliation, that is scrub off some of the dead cells on the surface of the skin. We do not recommend physical exfoliation, because it is not uniform (some bits of skin can get exfoliated too much while others not at all). It can also traumatize the skin and aggrevate acne and other skin conditions.

Anti-oxidation
Side benefit · Centella asiatica extract, Ficus carica fruit extract + 2 more
May help

This product contains antioxidants (centella asiatica extract, ficus carica fruit extract) that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is not enough evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin though.

Product summary

"Holika Holika - Good Cera Super Ceramide Mist" is effective for: Anti-inflammatory and Moisturizing

This product could be helpful for: Anti-aging, but its actives are not the most effective or are not well-studied.

Ingredient callouts

  • Ceramides (ceramide eop 0.10% - 0.15%, ceramide ap 0.05% - 0.10%, ceramide np 0.10% - 0.25% and phytosphingosine 0.20% - 0.35%). Ceramides are an important part of our natural skin barrier. The Ceramides used in skincare are synthetic or come from plants. They help soften the skin and can help "fill the gaps" in the skin barrier, keeping the skin hydrated and resilient for longer.
  • Humectants (glycerin 3.00% - 3.70%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.

Price

The product retails from 27.00A$ up to 53.16A$ in Australia, from 33.20CA$ up to 43.44CA$ in Canada, from 14.99$ up to 18.95$ in the United States and for 18.95£ in the United Kingdom.
