“Enriched with extracts of Grape Seed, Olive Leaf and Tea Leaf, this soothing Face Mist delivers an instant boost of hydration to your face and replenishes your skin’s moisture levels for a refreshed and healthier-looking complexion.”
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": biosaccharide gum-1, glycerin.
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. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: panthenol
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Camellia sinensis leaf extract, Vitis vinifera seed extract + 1 moreWorks well
