What the gurus are saying

This hydrating mist wins repeat purchases for its barrier-repair benefits, with reviewers using it daily to prep skin before moisturizers and serums. The tri-ceramide complex and probiotics are praised for supporting and hydrating skin, particularly for anyone who tends to over-exfoliate and compromise their barrier. At around ten dollars, it's an affordable staple; though some reviewers found the square packaging bulky and unappealing.

"The Bioma Balancing Face Mist is such a good face mist. I feel embarrassed because I found it in the back of my toner collection during a declutter and had completely forgotten about it, that's how good it is."

I Tried Byoma Skincare for a Month: What I Liked (and Didn't!)
"This is the Balancing Face Mist, [...] oh, this is beautiful, this is a gorgeous face mist. It contains allantoin as well as a probiotic ferment, and it is completely fragrance-free. The mist itself is beautiful to use, you can use this as your toner but you can also just spritz this on your skin throughout the day. [...] This was highly recommended to me, I see the hype, it is a beautiful mist that I think most people will really appreciate."

"I do like the BYOMA Balancing Face Mist"

"I love this, in fact this was included in my recent affordable skincare routine. I think it runs about eight dollars, maybe not, maybe ten. They have fixed the pump on it so it has a nice mist to it, I love it. Now I haven't repurchased it because I have about a million mists here at the moment, but if you're looking for an affordable mist, you just can't do wrong with any of Byoma products. This contains their tri-ceramide complex and it's just microbiome friendly."

"So this also contains allantoin, which is good for soothing the skin, and it also has that probiotic ferment which is there to help feed our natural microbiome. It is super affordable. This mist, I think, is 14.14 pounds. When I first purchased this about a year or two ago, they had real problems with the pump and it was just squirting off into my face, but they seem to have resolved that, which is great. It's a nice little mist and I think this is a great product."

"I used to think face mists are a waste of time, but I've come to realize that for some people like if you don't want to wash your face first thing in the morning [...] but you do want a little moisture, there's an argument for it. But if you constantly carry a mist and spray your face with it throughout the day, I think it can end up drying out your skin more because it evaporates and pulls water out of your skin."

"I love it. I love it. It's my favorite face mist. I've always been a fan of some kind of a face mist. [...] This has a tri-ceramide complex, probiotics, and allantoin. Basically it helps to repair your skin barrier, which if you've followed me at all, I have a horrible habit of overdoing my exfoliation and ruining my skin barrier. So this is something that has absolutely just come in handy for me. I really like it a lot. It lasts pretty well. I'll be honest with you, I hate BYOMA's packaging."

Grab a snack friends, I have SO many skin & hair care empties!
"In terms of the packaging, [...] I felt like it lasted long enough, it was just a mist, so I felt like it had a decent shelf life, which was nice compared to the other products. I just absolutely loved the formula, I thought it did so much for my skin, and I miss it. Now I'm using the one from Cosrx, which is just like centella, and [...] it's just not doing enough. So I actually think I'm going to pick up another one of these."
How to prevent concealer creasing FOR GOOD
"I did three little mists of this, the BYOMA Balancing Face Mist. It has ceramides, probiotics, and allantoin. It's just like a hydrating mist that I like. If my skin hadn't been rinsed and then just kind of dry, if I had just rinsed my face and immediately gone in with my skincare, I probably would have skipped this step, so just keep that in mind."
My Top Tips for Flawless Under Eyes | Prevent Wrinkle Creasing
"One of my favorite hydrating mists is the BYOMA Balancing Face Mist with Triceramide Complex, Probiotics and Allantoin. It just helps to boost your skin barrier. I tend to be a little bit more dry, especially because I'm upping my tretinoin a little bit percentage-wise, so that's something you want to keep in mind. I just do a little bit of this, some mist on my face, kind of pat it in."

"I'm using the BYOMA facial mist right now just because it has a little bit more than my [...] thermal mist, which is basically water. [...] I just started using it recently but it seems like nice enough."
Let’s see if these are REALLY Olive
"To prep my skin today, I just did my BYOMA Balancing Face Mist and then my Cerave PM lotion. [...] It's pretty much been what I do to prep my skin for everything."
How I FINALLY Healed my Dehydrated Skin
"I have just repurchased the BYOMA Balancing Face Mist, which is my favorite mist to use day and night."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Alpha hydroxy acids

Alpha hydroxy acids loosen the bonds holding dead cells at the surface. The evidence supports smoother texture and more even tone over time, and they can leave skin more sensitive to sun.

Ceramides

Ceramides are part of the skin's own barrier, and moisturisers built around them have evidence for holding water in and settling the tightness and flaking that come with a damaged barrier.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.
