Dealing with the first signs of fine lines or a loss of firmness can be frustrating. This mist provides a convenient way to layer in anti-aging and hydrating ingredients throughout the day without disturbing your routine.

• Product Type: Facial Mist Essence
• Primary Benefit: Improves skin elasticity and provides lasting hydration.
• Best For: Normal, Combination, Mature, and Dehydrated skin types.
• Key Ingredients: Hydrolyzed Collagen, EGF (sh-Oligopeptide-1), Centella Asiatica Extract, Peptides.
• Finish: Hydrating and dewy, without a heavy or greasy feel.

1. Cleanse: Start with a clean face.
2. APLB Mist Essence [THIS PRODUCT]: Hold the bottle about 20-30cm away, close your eyes, and spritz 2-3 times over your face. Gently pat to absorb.
3. Protect (AM) / Moisturise (PM): Follow with your daily sunscreen in the morning or a facial cream at night to seal in the hydration.

Note: Already have a hydrating toner or essence? Use this as a substitute to see how your skin responds before adding new steps.

Minimalist (3 steps):

1. Cleanser: Wash your face with a gentle cleanser.
2. APLB Mist Essence [THIS PRODUCT]: Spritz onto face and pat in. This acts as your hydrating toner and lightweight serum step.
3. Sunscreen: Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher.

Optional Additions:

• If you have specific concerns like dark spots, you can apply a targeted Vitamin C serum before this mist.
• If your skin feels tight or your sunscreen isn't hydrating enough, you can add a light moisturiser before your SPF.

Minimalist (3 steps):

1. Cleanser: Double cleanse if you wore makeup or water-resistant sunscreen (use an oil cleanser, then a water-based cleanser).
2. APLB Mist Essence [THIS PRODUCT]: Apply as your primary treatment and hydration layer.
3. Moisturiser: Follow with a nourishing facial cream to lock everything in.

Optional Additions (1-3x per week):

• Exfoliant: On nights you don't use a retinoid, you can use a gentle chemical exfoliant (AHA/BHA) before this mist to improve texture.
• Retinoid: If you use a retinol serum for anti-aging, apply it before your final moisturiser. Use this mist beforehand to buffer and hydrate the skin. Alternate nights between exfoliants and retinoids.

• Amount: 2-3 spritzes are typically enough for the entire face and neck.
• Frequency: Can be used daily, both AM and PM, after cleansing.
• Method:
  1. Hold the bottle 20-30cm from your face.
  2. Close your eyes and mouth, and mist evenly across the skin.
  3. Gently pat the essence with your fingertips to aid absorption.
  4. Safety Note: Avoid inhaling the product. You can also spray it into your palms first and then press it onto your skin.
• As a Refresher: Can be used throughout the day over makeup for a hydration boost, but spray from a distance to avoid disturbing your base.

This is a gentle, hydrating product suitable for daily use.

• Daily Use: Apply in your AM and PM routine after cleansing.
• With Actives: It can be used on the same days as exfoliants (AHA/BHA) or retinoids. Apply it before your active serum to provide a hydrating buffer, which can help reduce potential irritation. Remember to only use one strong active (like a retinoid or a potent acid) per night.

Example Week (PM Focus):

• Mon: Cleanse → [THIS PRODUCT] → Retinoid → Moisturiser
• Tue: Cleanse → [THIS PRODUCT] → Hydrating/Soothing Serum → Moisturiser
• Wed: Cleanse → Exfoliant (AHA/BHA) → [THIS PRODUCT] → Moisturiser
• Thu: Cleanse → [THIS PRODUCT] → Retinoid → Moisturiser
• Fri: Cleanse → [THIS PRODUCT] → Hydrating/Soothing Serum → Moisturiser
• Sat: Cleanse → [THIS PRODUCT] → Sleeping Pack
• Sun: Soothing night (no strong actives)

• Immediate: Skin feels refreshed, soothed, and instantly hydrated. The fine mist provides a cooling sensation.
• 2-4 Weeks: With consistent use, skin may appear plumper and feel more balanced. Dehydration-related tightness should diminish.
• 4-8+ Weeks: The firming benefits from collagen and peptides become more apparent. Skin may feel firmer to the touch, and the appearance of fine lines may be softened. Results depend on consistent use and diligent sun protection.

"Why this, not harsh anti-aging treatments?"

Aggressive scrubs or high-concentration peels can seem like a quick fix for signs of aging, but they often compromise the skin's protective barrier. This can lead to irritation, sensitivity, and even more inflammation, which accelerates aging in the long run. This mist focuses on supporting the skin's natural repair processes with peptides and EGF, improving firmness and elasticity without causing damage. It's a gentle, sustainable approach to graceful aging.

• ✅ Works Well With:
  • Hydrators: Hyaluronic Acid, Snail Mucin, Beta-Glucan. Layering enhances hydration.
  • Soothing Ingredients: Centella Asiatica, Panthenol, Allantoin. This product already contains these, but pairing with other calming products is fine.
  • Niacinamide: Excellent for overall skin health, pore appearance, and brightening.
  • Retinoids: Can be used as a hydrating buffer before applying retinol/retinal to reduce irritation.
• ⚠️ Use With Caution:
  • Strong Acids (AHA/BHA) & Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid): While not a direct conflict, peptides can be sensitive to very low pH environments. To ensure maximum efficacy, it's best to wait 15-20 minutes after applying a low-pH acid before using this mist, or use them in separate routines (e.g., Vitamin C in AM, this mist in PM).

• Mature Skin: Excellent. Provides necessary hydration and firming ingredients like peptides and EGF.
• Combination Skin: Very suitable. It's lightweight enough for oily T-zones while providing adequate hydration for drier areas.
• Normal Skin: A great choice for maintaining hydration and preventing early signs of aging.
• Dry Skin: A good hydrating layer, but will likely need to be followed by a richer cream or facial oil to provide enough moisture and occlusion.
• Oily & Acne-Prone Skin: Generally well-tolerated as it's not heavy. The soothing Centella can help with redness. However, as with any new product, patch test to ensure it doesn't cause congestion.

• Loss of elasticity and firmness
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Dehydrated or tight-feeling skin
• Dullness and lack of radiance
• General skin fatigue from environmental stressors

• Fragrance Status: Formulated without artificial fragrance.
• Scent Profile: Has a very subtle, natural herbal scent from its botanical ingredients like Centella and Tea Tree extract. Scent intensity is very low (1/5).
• EU Allergens: None declared by the brand.

Who should use it: Ideal for individuals concerned with early to moderate signs of aging, dehydration, and general skin resilience.

Who should use with caution:

• Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: There is insufficient published data on the topical use of EGF during pregnancy or breastfeeding. It is recommended to consult with a doctor before use.
• Highly Sensitive Skin: While formulated to be gentle, it contains a wide array of botanical extracts. A patch test is always advised.

Patch Test Protocol:

1. Apply a small, pea-sized amount of the product to a clean patch of skin on your inner arm, jawline, or behind the ear.
2. Wait 24 hours to observe for any signs of irritation like redness, itching, or burning.
3. If no reaction occurs, you can proceed with applying it to your face. If irritation develops, discontinue use.

• Texture: A fine, watery mist that feels lightweight and refreshing on the skin.
• Finish: Absorbs quickly, leaving a hydrated, slightly dewy finish without any sticky or greasy residue.
• Scent: Faintly herbal and clean.
• pH: Brand-stated to have a weak acidity close to healthy skin pH, though the exact value is not published.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: This product is generally considered suitable for those concerned with fungal acne, as it does not contain common triggers like fatty acids or polysorbates. However, individual responses can vary.

• Issue: My skin feels a bit sticky after application.
  • Solution: You may be applying too much or holding the bottle too close to your face. Try spritzing from a further distance (20-30cm) and using fewer pumps. Gently pat the essence in until fully absorbed.
• Issue: I'm not seeing any firming results after a few weeks.
  • Solution: Ingredients like peptides and EGF work over time to support skin structure. Visible firming effects typically take at least 4-8 weeks of consistent, twice-daily use. Ensure you are also protecting your skin with daily sunscreen, as UV damage breaks down collagen and will counteract the benefits of this product.
• Issue: The mist seems to disturb my makeup.
  • Solution: To refresh makeup without causing it to smudge, hold the bottle at least 30cm away and apply a very light veil of mist. Let it settle without touching or patting.

• Humid Summers: This mist is an excellent choice for Mauritius's hot and humid climate. It provides a layer of hydration that feels refreshing and weightless, without contributing to a greasy or heavy feeling on the skin. For oily and combination skin types, it might be sufficient as a standalone hydrator before sunscreen in the morning.
• Drier/Cooler Winters & Air-Conditioning: During the drier winter months or for those who spend significant time in air-conditioned environments, this mist serves as a perfect first step of hydration. It helps combat the dehydrating effects of AC. Layer it under a more substantial moisturiser to lock in the moisture and keep skin comfortable.

The benefits of the APLB Collagen EGF Peptide Mist Essence are based on the established functions of its key ingredients.

• Ingredient Rationale: The claims for skin firming, regeneration, and soothing are based on the known biological roles of peptides, EGF, hydrolyzed collagen, and Centella Asiatica in skincare. EGF is a cell-signaling protein known to support epidermal repair, while peptides are building blocks that can signal collagen production. Centella is widely documented in dermatological literature for its anti-inflammatory and wound-healing properties.
• Brand-Stated Data: APLB supports its claims by highlighting the concentrations of its "hero" ingredients (e.g., Collagen 2,000ppm, EGF 1,000ppt, Centella 27.0%). The efficacy of the final combined formula has not been published in an independent clinical study.

• Size: 105ml
• Typical Dosage: 2-3 spritzes per application (approx. 0.4ml)
• Estimated Uses: Approximately 262 uses per bottle.

Reorder Cadence:

• Using once daily (AM or PM): The bottle will last approximately 8.5 months.
• Using twice daily (AM and PM): The bottle will last approximately 4 months.

This provides excellent value, offering a long-lasting supply of a targeted treatment essence in a convenient mist format.

At Adilsons, we are committed to providing you with only 100% authentic, high-quality K-beauty products. We carefully curate our selection based on efficacy, safety, and real-world results. Our promise is to offer transparent, evidence-based information to help you make mindful and effective choices for your unique skin journey.

1. Can I use this mist with Vitamin C or Retinol?

Yes, you can. It works well as a hydrating buffer before applying a retinoid to reduce potential irritation. When using it with a low-pH Vitamin C serum, it's best to either wait 15-20 minutes after the Vitamin C has absorbed or use them at different times of the day (e.g., Vitamin C in AM, this mist in PM) to ensure both products work at their optimal efficacy.

2. Is this mist hydrating enough to be my only moisturiser?

For oily and combination skin types, especially in Mauritius's humid summer, this may provide enough lightweight hydration on its own before sunscreen. For dry or dehydrated skin, it should be used as a hydrating essence layer and followed with a more substantial cream to properly lock in moisture.

3. What exactly is EGF and is it safe?

EGF stands for Epidermal Growth Factor. It is a peptide that plays a role in cell growth and repair. In skincare, the EGF used (sh-Oligopeptide-1) is a synthetic, bio-engineered version that mimics the natural protein to help support skin regeneration and firmness. It has been used in cosmetic formulations for years and is considered safe for topical use on intact skin.

Best For: Individuals with normal, combination, or mature skin looking for a convenient way to add firming and hydrating ingredients to their routine.

Key Benefits:
