“This facial mist contains Aloe Vera Extract in lieu of water to provide lasting hydration and soothing benefits.”
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": lactobacillus/rice ferment filtrate, aloe barbadensis leaf extract.
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).

“Features an Olive Leaf in a 95.1% organic formula to calm and promote skin repair from damage and hyperpigmentation.”
This product contains ingredients (glycyrrhiza glabra root extract) that could help reduce hyperpigmentation (for example, post-acne marks or age spots) in theory, but there is not enough evidence that they actually work.
