Why this exists
Face mists are often reduced to either plain water that disappears too quickly or a token toner in spray form, neither of which does much for skin that is repeatedly exposed to heating, air conditioning, and daily environmental stress. This mist is designed to do something more specific at the surface of the skin. Lactobacillus Ferment Lysate sits at the core as a prebiotic active, supporting the skin-surface microbiome that contributes to barrier function and a more coherent response when skin feels unsettled. Around it, humectants and moisture-binding ingredients such as Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Sodium Hyaluronate, Betaine, Sodium PCA, Glycerin, Propanediol, and Hydrolyzed Glycosaminoglycans help maintain comfort and reduce the dry, tight feeling that often builds through the day. It is a light, functional layer for moments when skin needs hydration, balance, and a clean finish rather than a heavier treatment.

The application
How to layer this
-
1
Mist after cleansing
Use on clean skin when you want a light hydration step before serum. Hold the bottle at arm’s length and mist across the face and neck with eyes closed.
-
2
Refresh through the day
Apply whenever skin feels dry, tight, or unsettled from heating, air conditioning, or environmental stress. It gives a brief coolness without leaving residue.
-
3
Set makeup cleanly
Mist lightly over makeup to help it sit more smoothly on the skin. Keep the spray even and minimal so the finish stays fresh rather than damp.
What to expect
On the skin, over time
Day 1
Skin feels refreshed and more comfortable immediately after spraying. The face reads less dry or tight than it would with plain water alone.
Week 1
Mid-afternoon dryness and that stretched feeling after exposure to dry indoor air may feel less pronounced. Makeup can appear to sit more cleanly through the day.
Week 4
With consistent use, skin may feel calmer at baseline and less thrown by repeated environmental stress. The overall surface can seem more balanced and settled.
The deeper detail
The formulation, the provenance, the standard
Formulation
Lactobacillus Ferment Lysate, the lead prebiotic active, is a fermentation-derived compound that functions as a selective nutrient for beneficial skin-surface bacteria. The result of consistent use is a more balanced microbiome and a more coherent barrier response to environmental aggressors. It is present at a functional level, not a label-decoration concentration.
Hydrolyzed Glycosaminoglycans provide a polysaccharide moisture-binding action at the surface, reducing transepidermal water loss and maintaining the smooth surface texture that is often the first thing lost in heated or air-conditioned environments. Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid and Sodium Hyaluronate deliver the dual-weight hydration already familiar from the hydration serums in this range: surface shine and deeper moisture simultaneously. Betaine and Sodium PCA reinforce the skin's Natural Moisturising Factor. Glycerin, Propanediol, and a small Rhamnose-Glucose-Glucuronic Acid complex provide additional humectant and conditioning activity.
The formula mists cleanly, dries in under ten seconds on normal to combination skin, and leaves no white cast or residue. A Pogostemon-derived fragrance note provides the faint, warm botanical finish that identifies the product in use; the alcohol is listed as made using organic ingredients and functions as a solubiliser for the fragrance component.

love it
Fine mist, dries fast, no makeup mess.

desk drawer staple
Keep it at work. Instant cool relief from air con, makes makeup look fresher midday. The 100ml size is actually handy.
-
Verified
good over makeup
Use it when the office air gets dry. Spray is very fine, no spitting or white cast. There is a slight scent for a few seconds so not totally unscented, but the comfort is real. My makeup stays put and my skin feels less tight. Useful little bottle.
-
actually works
Bought it for the prebiotic thing, stayed because my skin feels proper comfortable after cleansing. Helps with that smooth look I lose in heated rooms. Can spray over makeup no problem.
-
Verified
yes
Brief coolness then balanced feel that lasts. No tackiness so I layer before serum or just refresh midday.
-
really fine mist
Settles without dripping and feels nice after cleansing or over makeup. I noticed my skin looked calmer by afternoon, though the bottle could be a bit bigger.
-
Verified
morning balance
Settles my skin down in central heating. Mist is invisible, dries in seconds, no tackiness. Refreshing straight away then calmer feel lasts.
-
Verified
flight essential
Took it on a long flight. Face felt way less stressed by cabin dryness and it dried in under ten seconds.
-
not just water
First mist that actually does something.
-
Verified
good prep
Use after cleansing before serum. Genuinely better than water mists I've tried. Quick cool feel, makeup sits neatly on top, no white cast. The scent is soft not perfumey. Would buy again though £32.95 for 100ml is a bit steep tbh.

calmer face
Fine spray, no drip, no cast. Mist on damp skin after cleansing then moisturise. Surface feels more comfortable within moments. Suits my skin better than plain thermal water.

Dehydrated skin, better prep than my old toner.

In case you wondered
Frequently asked
Can I use this after cleansing?
Yes. It works well as a prep step after cleansing, before serum or moisturiser. It can also be used whenever skin needs a light hydration refresh.
Does this replace toner?
It can sit in the toner/mist part of your ritual, but it is more than a simple water spray. Its role is to hydrate, refresh, and support the skin-surface microbiome.
Will it leave my skin sticky?
No. The mist is designed to dry quickly and leave no tackiness, just a brief coolness and a balanced finish.
Can I use it over makeup?
Yes. It is made to refresh over bare skin or help makeup sit more cleanly without leaving a white cast.
Is this suitable for sensitive or dry skin?
It is made for all skin types, including skin that feels dehydrated or stressed by indoor heating and air conditioning. If your skin is very reactive, patch testing is always sensible.
When will my order arrive?
We start preparing your bottle once your order is placed and dispatch within 2 business days. From dispatch, delivery is UK 3 to 7 business days, EU 5 to 10 business days, US 2 to 5 business days.
