"The mist application is so good. I've run into a few mists that I really hate lately. Some that spit out too much product and it's like very wet and uneven and some that are so fine that's just a puff of product in the air and it hardly any of it landed on my face. This avoids all of those issues. It's a really good mist. [...] I've been loving it so much, especially as the weather is getting a little bit more mild. My combo skin is starting to wake up the oil a little bit, trying to avoid congestion as much as possible, and this is fitting the bill beautifully. This is pretty versatile. I would recommend this for [...] combination skin, oily folks who like a liquidy cream type product like a cream mist or essence as a final layer. This is ideal, especially in the misting format because you're going to sidestep that feeling where it's so easy to just pour it out and put on too much and all of a sudden your skin feels really weighed down and greasy. This is not a shiny finish mist either. [...] If you have [...] balanced skin type, this product would be very good for you because it's not like overly moisturizing and heavy. If you have dry skin, you may feel that this is not enough because it is on the lighter side of things."

My End of Winter Retinal PM Skincare Routine

"This is a creamy moisturizing mist. [...] It provides all that moisturization and ceramide content that's so good for standing up to retinaldehyde. I've been really happy with this so far because there's really good ceramide content in here. The moisture level is pretty good, but the misting format means that it is still a little bit lighter for my skin. It's not overwhelming and it's not too rich. I'm getting the best of both worlds with this particular product when it comes to keeping my skin comfortable and able to accept the retinaldehyde, but also balancing out my combo skin."

Test New Skincare With Me! | Purcell, COSRX, Dr. Ceuracle

"So many good ceramides in here. It really follows in the footsteps of the moisturizer that I really like and really adore. I think it's one of the better examples of a skin barrier mist or skin barrier cream toner. Other ones I feel like are also good, but they just don't have the ceramide content that this particular one from COSRX has. [...] I can't really find anything I don't like about this. I've been using this one for a while [...] and I have been enjoying it. I've been doing a couple of layers and that's been pretty good for my skin. [...] If you're looking for something for combo skin that's suffering with a little more extra dryness or dehydration, this would be really great. If you have really dry skin, you might find that it's not quite enough. And if you have oily skin but you like these types of products as a final layer, [...] one or two layers of this at the end of your routine rather towards the beginning [...] would be appropriate for you just because the mist allows you to control so much."

"It's got really nice even mist. I'm a big fan of a nice even mister nozzle. Can't go wrong with that. So in this one, what do we have? Panthenol, hyaluronic acid, ceramides, amino acids, arginine, squalane, allantoin, great soothing ingredients. Nope, doesn't look like any fragrance or alcohol in it. So very nice."

What the evidence says.

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

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.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
