What does the product description say?

Balance Boost Face Mist

Source: From product name

This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": betaine, fructose.

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

zinc pca 1.5% - 2.2%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A compound that combines zinc with a hydrating ingredient PCA. Might to be helpful against acne and clogged pores. Can help calm down inflammation in skin. Could be helpful in reducing the formation of free radicals in skin. Might help to reduce fine lines in wrinkles, but solid evidence is missing

betaine 1.9% - 2.8%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improves the product texture

glycerin 2.6% - 3.9%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Naturally present in skin. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin working as a humectant

Anti-blemish

This product contains ingredients (zinc pca) that could help reduce blemishes and clogged pores in theory, but there is not enough evidence that they actually work.

zinc pca 1.5% - 2.2%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

inulin 0.5% - 1.2%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Is claimed to support the growth of "good" bacteria in skin (as a "prebiotic"), but the research is lacking

aloe barbadensis leaf juice 5.8% - 8.8%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

Traditionally used to treat sunburns, dermatitis and inflammation, but evidence for its effectiveness is lacking. The extract can contain humectants that help attract water into the skin

Evens skin tone

What does the product description say?

Oil-controlling benefits are paired with soothing ingredients to refresh and rebalance the skin for a more even complexion.
