“Coconut Essence Hydro Mist”
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": allantoin, 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

Effective ingredients missing or their concentration is too low
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Camellia sinensis leaf extract, Caffeine + 2 moreMay help
This product contains antioxidants (camellia sinensis leaf 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.

Can contain potent anti-oxidant compounds (abbreviated ECG, GCG, EGC, and EGCG) that might help protect the skin from free radicals. Can help calm down inflammation and has some anti-bacterial properties. Unfortunately, these antioxidants are unstable and lose their effectiveness very quickly in products. The concentration of the antioxidant compounds in the extract also tends to be low to be effective in topical formulation

A stable derivative of vitamin C. It is oil-soluble which means it is more likely to penetrate the skin compared to the pure form of vitamin C (which is water-soluble), but it is less bio-available and is way less effective in stimulating collagen and reducing wrinkles compared to the pure form of vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) and its other derivatives (for example, magnesium ascorbyl phosphate). At the same time, this vitamin C derivative has been shown in studies to be effective in reducing acne, blemishes and clogged pores. It is less irritating then the pure form of vitamin C

Product summary
"Pacifica - Coconut Essence Hydro Mist" is effective for: Anti-inflammatory and Moisturizing
Ingredient callouts
- An effective concentration of Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) - about 2.00% - 3.00%. Panthenol helps strengthen the skin barrier, improve hydration and reduce inflammation in skin.
- In addition, this product contains Allantoin (1.40% - 2.10%). Allantoin is helpful in wound-healing and can help restore the skin barrier faster. It might also be able to improve scars, but the evidence is not very strong for this.
- Humectants (allantoin 1.40% - 2.10%, sodium hyaluronate 3.40% - 5.10%, glycerin 4.00% - 6.00% and panthenol 2.00% - 3.00%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
