A fine, hydrating mist that instantly refreshes the skin while delivering a potent blend of brightening and soothing ingredients. Formulated for the heat and humidity of Mauritius, this essence helps to even out skin tone, calm irritation, and provide a healthy glow without feeling heavy or sticky. It's an ideal choice for reviving dull, tired-looking skin throughout the day.

Dealing with dullness, uneven skin tone, or post-acne marks can be frustrating, especially when heavy products feel uncomfortable in the heat. This ultra-lightweight mist offers a simple, refreshing solution.

• Who It's For: Suitable for all skin types, including oily, combination, and sensitive skin. Especially beneficial for those concerned with dullness, uneven skin tone, dehydration, and redness.
• What It Is: A watery mist essence packed with Glutathione, Niacinamide, and a high concentration of Centella Asiatica extract.
• What It Does: Brightens the complexion, helps fade the appearance of dark spots, deeply hydrates, and soothes irritated skin.
• Texture: A fine, non-sticky watery mist that absorbs instantly.

1. Cleanser: Start with a clean base.
2. APLB Mist Essence: Hold the bottle about 20cm away, close your eyes, and spritz 2-3 times over your face. Gently pat to absorb.
3. Sunscreen (AM) / Moisturiser (PM): Lock in the hydration and protect your skin.

Mindful Tip: Already own a hydrating toner or essence? Finish that bottle first before adding this one. Substitute, don't just stack, to respect your skin and your budget.

Minimalist Routine (3 steps):

1. Cleanser: Wash your face with a gentle cleanser.
2. APLB Mist Essence: Spritz onto face to hydrate and prep the skin.
3. Sunscreen: Apply an SPF 30+ sunscreen as your final step. In Mauritius's climate, a hydrating sunscreen might be enough moisture for oily or combination skin types.

Optional Additions:

• Targeted Serum: If you have persistent dark spots, you can layer another brightening serum after the mist.
• Moisturiser: If your skin feels tight or your sunscreen isn't hydrating enough, apply a light moisturiser before your SPF.

Wait Times: Allow 30-60 seconds for the mist to absorb before applying your next product. Wait 1-2 minutes after your last skincare step before applying makeup.

Minimalist Routine (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: Spritz generously onto clean skin to soothe and hydrate.
3. Moisturiser: Apply a suitable night cream to seal in moisture.

Optional Additions:

• Exfoliant (1-3x/week): On nights you exfoliate (with AHA, BHA), use it after cleansing and before this mist essence. Do not use strong exfoliants on the same night as retinoids.
• Retinoid (2-4x/week): If you use a retinol serum, apply it after the mist essence and before your moisturiser. Alternate nights with exfoliants.

Texture Rule: Always apply products from the thinnest texture to the thickest.

Daily Use — AM/PM & Throughout the Day:

• Amount: 2-3 spritzes are enough to cover the face and neck.
• How to Apply: Close your eyes and hold the bottle about 20cm (8 inches) away from your face. Spray evenly and gently pat the essence into the skin to aid absorption.
• Safety Note: As with any facial spray, avoid inhaling the mist directly. Spray and then breathe.
• Frequency: Use morning and night after cleansing. It can also be used throughout the day to refresh skin, even over makeup.

If-This / Then-That:

• If your skin feels tight in air-conditioning: Keep it on your desk for a quick hydrating spritz during the day.
• If you have oily skin: This can serve as your main hydrating step before sunscreen in the morning.
• If your skin is red or irritated: The high Centella Asiatica content will help calm and soothe it. Spritz on after sun exposure for relief.
• If your makeup looks cakey or dry: A light mist over your makeup can help it melt into the skin for a more natural, dewy finish.

• Immediately: Skin feels refreshed, soothed, and instantly hydrated. Redness may appear slightly calmer.
• 2–4 Weeks: With consistent daily use, skin may appear brighter and more luminous. The barrier feels more resilient, and skin retains moisture better throughout the day.
• 4–8+ Weeks: The appearance of dark spots, post-acne marks, and uneven tone may be visibly reduced. Skin texture looks smoother and more even overall. Results depend on consistent use and diligent sun protection.

• Why use a stabilized brightening essence? Not DIY lemon juice. While lemons contain Vitamin C, the juice is highly acidic (pH ~2) and can cause chemical burns, sun sensitivity (phytophotodermatitis), and worsen dark spots. This essence uses scientifically-backed ingredients like Niacinamide and Glutathione at a skin-friendly pH to brighten safely and effectively, without the risks of DIY acids.

• Works Well With: This mist is a versatile team player. Its soothing and hydrating base makes it excellent for layering with most active ingredients.
  • Vitamin C Serums: Use the mist first to hydrate, then apply your Vitamin C serum.
  • Retinoids (Retinol/Retinal): Apply the mist before your retinoid to provide a hydrating buffer, which can help reduce potential irritation.
  • Exfoliating Acids (AHA/BHA): Use your acid toner/serum after cleansing, then follow with this mist to rehydrate and soothe the skin.
  • Hyaluronic Acid: Can be used before or after. Applying on damp skin from the mist will boost HA's hydrating effects.
• Use With Caution: No major ingredient conflicts. The main caution is to avoid layering too many new products at once to prevent overwhelming your skin.
• Avoid On: Do not spray directly into open eyes. Avoid use on broken or wounded skin.

• Oily Skin: Excellent. Provides lightweight hydration without adding grease or clogging pores. Can be used in place of a heavier moisturiser during the day.
• Dry Skin: Very good as a hydrating toner step. It adds a layer of moisture that should be sealed in with a richer cream or oil.
• Combination Skin: Ideal. It hydrates dry patches without making the T-zone oilier, helping to balance the skin.
• Sensitive Skin: Very good. Formulated with a high concentration of soothing Centella Asiatica (20.5%) and has passed skin irritation tests. As always, a patch test is recommended.
• Acne-Prone Skin: Good. The formula is non-comedogenic for most, and ingredients like Niacinamide and Tea Tree Leaf Extract help to calm inflammation and manage sebum.

• Dullness and lack of radiance
• Uneven skin tone and texture
• Dehydration and tightness
• Redness and irritation
• Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (dark marks from acne)
• Fine lines (by improving hydration)

Key Actives Explained:

• Centella Asiatica Extract (20.5%): A powerful soothing herb that calms inflammation, supports skin healing, and provides antioxidant benefits. Excellent for sensitive and acne-prone skin.
• Niacinamide (2% | 20,000ppm): A form of Vitamin B3. A true multi-tasker that brightens skin tone, helps fade dark spots, regulates sebum production, strengthens the skin barrier, and has anti-inflammatory properties.
• Glutathione (0.1% | 1,000ppm): A potent antioxidant naturally found in the body. Topically, it helps to reduce oxidative stress and has a brightening effect on the skin, contributing to a more even and radiant complexion.
• Adenosine: A yeast-derived ingredient that functions as a soothing and skin-restoring agent. It has proven anti-wrinkle benefits and helps to energize the skin's surface, leading to a smoother, more youthful appearance.
• Hydrolyzed Collagen & Squalane: These ingredients provide moisture and support skin elasticity. Collagen hydrates the surface, while Squalane, a skin-identical lipid, locks in moisture and keeps the skin soft.
• Soothing Complex: Includes Allantoin, Panthenol, Beta-Glucan, and Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate (from licorice root) to further calm irritation and support barrier health.

Formulated Without: The brand emphasizes EWG Green Grade ingredients, suggesting an absence of common controversial additives, though a specific "free-from" list is not provided.

• Fragrance Status: No artificial fragrances added. The scent is naturally derived from its ingredients.
• Scent Profile: A very mild, fresh, herbal scent from Tea Tree Leaf Extract. Intensity is low (1/5) and dissipates quickly.
• EU Allergens: None of the 26 declarable EU allergens are listed in the formula.
• Potential Irritants: Contains Tea Tree Leaf Extract, which can be a sensitizer for a small number of individuals. As with any new product, a patch test is advised for highly reactive skin.

Who Should Use It: Ideal for most skin types looking for lightweight hydration and brightening.

Who Should Use With Caution: Individuals with a known allergy to Tea Tree or any other botanical in the formula should exercise caution.

Patch Test Protocol:

1. Apply a small amount of the mist to a discreet area of skin, like behind your ear or on your inner jawline.
2. Wait 24 hours to observe for any signs of irritation, such as redness, itching, or burning.
3. If no reaction occurs, re-check the area at 48 and 72 hours to ensure there is no delayed sensitivity.
4. If irritation occurs at any point, discontinue use.

General Safety: For external use only. Avoid spraying directly into eyes. Keep out of reach of children. Discontinue use and consult a professional if a rash or irritation persists.

• Texture & Finish: A fine, watery mist that feels refreshing and absorbs within seconds. It leaves a hydrated, slightly dewy finish with no sticky or greasy residue.
• Scent: Faint, natural herbal scent from its botanical ingredients.
• pH: Not publicly disclosed by the brand, but their product lines are generally formulated to be slightly acidic to respect the skin's natural pH balance.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: This formula is low-risk but not guaranteed to be 100% "FA-safe" as it contains Glyceryl Stearate, an ingredient which can be a trigger for some individuals. Individual responses may vary.

• Issue: The spray feels uneven. Solution: Ensure you are holding the bottle at the recommended distance (about 20cm) and that the nozzle is clean. A partially clogged nozzle can cause an irregular spray pattern.
• Issue: My skin feels a little tight after it dries. Solution: This can happen in very dry air if a humectant-rich product isn't sealed in. Always follow the mist with a moisturiser (day or night) to lock in the hydration it provides.
• Issue: I'm not seeing results after one week. Solution: Brightening and evening out skin tone is a gradual process. Key ingredients like Niacinamide and Glutathione require consistent use for at least 4-8 weeks to show visible results on pigmentation. Ensure you are also using sunscreen daily, as UV exposure will counteract any progress.

• Humid Summers: This mist is perfect. Its lightweight, non-sticky formula provides essential hydration without feeling heavy or suffocating on the skin. For oily skin types, it can often replace a daytime moisturiser, used right before sunscreen.
• Drier Winters / Air-Conditioning: It serves as an excellent first hydrating step. Follow up with a slightly richer moisturiser to prevent dehydration caused by drier air or constant AC exposure.
• On-the-Go Refreshment: Keep it in your bag to refresh and cool down your skin during a hot day. It helps revive tired skin and can be spritzed over makeup without causing it to smudge.

• Our Sourcing: Adilsons sources all products, including the APLB Mist Essence, directly from the brand or their authorized distributors in South Korea. We guarantee 100% authenticity.
• Packaging Cues: Authentic APLB products feature high-quality printing in a mix of Korean and English. Check for the batch number and expiration date printed clearly on the packaging.

• Ingredient Rationale: The benefits of this essence are strongly supported by the known functions of its key ingredients. Niacinamide (at 2%) is clinically recognized for its ability to regulate sebum, strengthen the skin barrier, and inhibit melanosome transfer to brighten skin. Glutathione is a master antioxidant that helps reduce oxidative stress, a key factor in hyperpigmentation. Centella Asiatica is well-documented for its potent anti-inflammatory and soothing properties.
• Brand Claim: APLB states their Glutathione Niacinamide line has undergone human application testing, showing positive results for brightness, moisture, elasticity, and more. However, specific, publicly available clinical data for this mist essence is not provided.

Consider these alternatives from our catalog if you need a different focus:

• For More Potent, Targeted Brightening: SOME BY MI Galactomyces Pure Vitamin C Glow Serum — Choose this if your main goal is to aggressively target stubborn dark spots and you want the proven power of Vitamin C and fermented ingredients.
• For Acne-Prone Skin with Dark Marks: Beauty of Joseon Glow Serum : Propolis + Niacinamide — Choose this if you are battling active breakouts alongside post-acne marks. The propolis offers antibacterial and anti-inflammatory benefits, while niacinamide targets PIH.
• For a Stronger Niacinamide Focus: The Ordinary NIACINAMIDE 10% + ZINC 1% 30ML — Choose this if your main concerns are oil control, visible pores, and blemishes. It offers a higher concentration of Niacinamide (10%) for more intensive sebum regulation.

Mindful Use Reminder: If you already have a comparable hydrating or brightening essence at home, we encourage you to finish it first. This helps you get a fair assessment of its results and reduces waste.

• Format: 105ml plastic bottle with a fine mist spray pump and a protective cap.
• Hygiene: The spray format is hygienic as it prevents direct contact between the product and your hands or the environment.
• Recycling (Mauritius): The plastic bottle (likely PET or PP) is recyclable. Please rinse the bottle and dispose of it in your local recycling bin. The pump mechanism may need to be disposed of in general waste.
• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the stability of the active ingredients.
• Travel: The 105ml size is slightly over the standard airline carry-on limit of 100ml, so it would need to be placed in checked luggage for air travel.
