Early verdict · Few reviews so farWhat the gurus are saying
This mist delivers the Goldilocks hydration: deep moisture without the heavy, sticky feeling of traditional moisturizer. It's especially useful when you wake up and need hydration before a workout, or when you want to prep your skin before tretinoin without blocking the retinoid's effectiveness. Note that it depletes quickly and is now discontinued, so availability is limited.
