What 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.

"It just bursts into hydration, fills every little crevice of your skin with deep down refreshing hydration. It feels awesome. I did prioritize using this, showed it in a few routines, emptied it. I'm going to miss it since it's discontinued. It's something I go through very fast."

Melt the Day Away | Calming Skincare Routine
"I love to use especially moisturizing layers like this because this is a toner but it's milky, it's got more emolliency to it, has oil content to it. I love to use the Mist versions of those types of products because I still get that comforting and nourishing and soothing feeling, but the Mist format actually keeps that layer a lot lighter."
Spring Skincare Swaps | My Skincare Changes for the Season
"It really is a great way to kick off a very cold weather, dry skin focused routine. However, when the temperature starts to warm up, I just find it's not the right fit for my skin. I'm not really struggling with as much dryness anymore. I'm really trying to combat more oiliness by the time mid-spring is here, and so it just feels kind of thick on my skin at this point. I want to let you know there are actually two versions out there right now."

"This is like my new skincare addiction this product is a super fine hydrating mist that I will often use instead of a moisturizer but you could also put it on underneath a moisturizer and it just gives my skin a little bit of life. [...] I love using it in the morning after I splash some water on my face when I'm going to go work out and I don't want to have my face feel dry or tight."

Skincare I Thought I Wouldn't Like, But Ended Up Loving! (Dermatologist Favorite Skincare)
"I never thought I would use a spray moisturizer [...] because it felt a little bit gimmicky to me and I couldn't really think of a time where I would use this instead of my traditional moisturizer. But it turns out there are a lot of times for it. When I wake up in the morning and I'm going to work out immediately, I don't do my full skincare routine, I usually just splash water on my face and go."

What the evidence says.

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

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.
