It delivers a refreshing wave of hydration while actively working to repair and strengthen your skin's natural moisture barrier, making it an essential tool for maintaining balanced, comfortable skin in Mauritius' variable climate.

That feeling of tight, thirsty skin that just won't go away can be frustrating. This mist provides an instant quench, soothing irritation and restoring a comfortable, hydrated feel without any stickiness.

• Product Type: Mist Essence
• Key Functions: Deep Hydration, Skin Barrier Repair, Soothing
• Ideal For: Dry, Dehydrated, Combination, and Sensitive skin types.
• Feel: A lightweight, super-fine watery mist that absorbs instantly.

For an immediate hydration boost:

1. Cleanser: Start with a clean face.
2. THIS PRODUCT (APLB Mist Essence): Close your eyes and spray 2-3 times over your face from about 15-20cm away. Gently pat to absorb.
3. Sunscreen (AM) / Moisturiser (PM): Follow with your final step to seal in the moisture.

Mindful Note: If you already have a hydrating toner or essence, finish it first before adding this one. Substitute, don't stack unnecessarily.

Minimalist (3 steps):

1. Cleanser
2. APLB Mist Essence (acts as a hydrating toner/essence step)
3. Sunscreen (SPF 30+)

Optional: If your skin feels tight or your sunscreen isn't hydrating enough, you can add a light moisturiser before your SPF.

Wait Times: Allow the mist to absorb for about 30-60 seconds before applying your next product.

Minimalist (3 steps):

1. Cleanser (use an oil cleanser first if removing makeup or water-resistant sunscreen)
2. APLB Mist Essence
3. Moisturiser

Optional: You can layer a targeted serum (like for brightening or anti-aging) after the mist and before your moisturiser.

Texture Rule: Always apply products from the thinnest consistency to the thickest. This watery mist comes early in the routine.

Daily Use — AM/PM & Throughout the Day:

• Amount: 2-3 sprays are sufficient for the entire face and neck.
• Apply to: Freshly cleansed skin, or anytime throughout the day for a hydration top-up, even over makeup.
• Method: Hold the bottle 15-20cm away, close your eyes, and spritz evenly. Gently pat the skin to aid absorption. For a more controlled application, spray into your palms first, then press onto the skin.
• Frequency: Use daily in your morning and evening routines. It can also be used as needed to refresh skin, especially in dry, air-conditioned rooms.
• Safety Note: Avoid inhaling the mist. Spray with eyes and mouth closed.

If-This / Then-That:

• If your skin is very oily: In Mauritius' humid summer, this can act as your light hydrator under sunscreen.
• If your skin is very dry/in AC: Use this as your first hydrating layer after cleansing, then follow with a richer serum and cream to lock in the moisture.
• If your skin is sensitive: The Panthenol and Centella Asiatica help to calm redness and irritation. Start by using it PM-only for a few days to ensure compatibility.

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

• Daily: Use in both your AM and PM routines. It's an excellent buffer to use before stronger active ingredients.
• With Actives: If you use exfoliants (AHA/BHA) or retinoids at night, apply this mist essence first to hydrate and soothe the skin, which can help reduce potential irritation.

• Immediately: Skin feels refreshed, soothed, and instantly hydrated. Any feeling of tightness is reduced.
• 2-4 Weeks: With consistent use, skin appears plumper and feels softer. Dry patches become less noticeable and the skin's moisture balance improves.
• 4-8+ Weeks: The skin barrier feels stronger and more resilient. Skin is less prone to dehydration and sensitivity, looking healthier and more radiant overall.

Results depend on consistent use, especially alongside daily sun protection.

• Why use THIS MIST, not just plain water? Misting your face with plain water can paradoxically lead to more dryness. As the water evaporates, it can draw moisture out of your skin. This essence is formulated with humectants like Hyaluronic Acid and Panthenol, which grab onto water and hold it in your skin, providing lasting hydration.

• Works Well With: This is a universal hydrator that pairs well with almost any ingredient. It's particularly effective when used to buffer stronger actives.
• Vitamin C, Retinoids, and Exfoliating Acids (AHA/BHA): Apply this mist *before* these actives to provide a hydrating cushion that can help minimize potential irritation and dryness.
• Niacinamide and Peptides: Can be used together in the same routine without issue.
• Use Carefully With: No major conflicts. Due to its watery texture, always apply it before heavier creams, balms, or facial oils to ensure it absorbs properly.

• Dry & Dehydrated: Excellent. Provides an essential layer of water-based hydration to combat flakiness and tightness.
• Combination: Ideal. Hydrates dry areas without making the T-zone feel greasy.
• Oily: Very good. Can serve as a lightweight, standalone hydrator in humid weather or under a mattifying sunscreen.
• Sensitive: Good fit. Formulated with soothing ingredients like Panthenol, Allantoin, and Centella Asiatica to calm irritation. As always, a patch test is recommended.

• Dehydration and skin thirst
• Compromised or weakened moisture barrier
• Skin tightness and discomfort
• Surface redness and irritation
• Fine lines caused by dehydration

• Potential Irritants: While formulated for sensitivity, it contains various botanical extracts. A patch test is always advised for highly reactive skin.

Who should use with caution:

• While generally safe for all skin types, those with known allergies to specific botanical extracts should review the ingredient list carefully.

Patch Test Protocol:

1. Apply a small amount of the mist to a clean, discreet area of skin, such as your inner arm or behind your ear.
2. Wait 24 hours to observe any reaction. Check again at 48 and 72 hours, as some reactions can be delayed.
3. If you experience any redness, itching, swelling, or burning, rinse the area thoroughly and discontinue use.

For external use only. Avoid direct contact with eyes. Discontinue use if irritation occurs. Keep out of reach of children. Not suitable for teens/tweens without parental guidance; a simple routine of cleanser-moisturiser-SPF is recommended.

• Texture: A super-fine, watery mist.
• Finish: Absorbs instantly with no sticky or greasy residue, leaving a naturally hydrated, slightly dewy finish.
• Scent: Essentially fragrance-free.
• pH: Formulated to be weakly acidic, close to the skin's natural pH for barrier protection.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: Contains Squalane and fermented extracts which may be a concern for some individuals with fungal acne. Patch testing on an affected area is advised. Individual responses vary.

• Humid Summer: Perfect for all skin types. Oily and combination skin can use this as a light, refreshing hydrator under sunscreen, potentially skipping a heavier moisturiser.
• Drier Winter / Air-Conditioning: An essential first step for all skin types to combat dehydration caused by drier air. Layer it under your regular serums and creams to boost their hydrating effects. Keep it on your desk to counteract the drying effects of AC throughout the day.

• Packaging: Comes in a 105ml plastic bottle with a high-quality misting pump that dispenses a very fine, even spray.
• Sustainability: The plastic bottle (PET) is recyclable in Mauritius. Please rinse it before disposal.
• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the botanical extracts. No refrigeration is necessary.
• Travel: The 105ml size is slightly above the typical airline carry-on limit of 100ml, so it would need to be checked in or decanted into a smaller travel bottle for flights.

Aggregated sentiment from verified users on platforms like Picky and Stylevana.

"I love that it's lightweight but still deeply hydrating. Perfect for my combination skin. Whenever my skin feels sensitized (especially after tretinoin...), this mist gives an instant soothing effect."

— Picky review by ahgarther (Oily/Resilient Skin, 2025-02)

"This product is deeply hydrating! Transformed my dull, dry skin so quickly! It is also refreshing and soothing..."

— Picky review by SheisGraceful (Dry/Sensitive Skin, 2025-04)

"I really like to use it during the day to refresh and moisture my skin. I use it on my make up and it is ok."

— Stylevana review by Wiola (2024-10)

Fair Caveat: One reviewer noted that since the formula contains Squalane and fermented extracts, it may not be suitable for everyone with fungal acne and advised patch testing, which is always a good practice.

Can I use this mist over my makeup?

Yes, absolutely. The ultra-fine mist is perfect for refreshing your skin and giving your makeup a dewy boost throughout the day without disturbing it.

Is this hydrating enough to be my only moisturiser?

For very oily skin types in peak summer humidity, it might be. For most other skin types (dry, combination, normal), this should be used as a hydrating layer *before* your regular cream moisturiser to boost its effects.

What's the difference between this and a toner?

This product acts as both. Like a toner, it provides the first layer of hydration after cleansing. As an essence, it contains a higher concentration of beneficial ingredients (like Ceramides and Panthenol) to treat the skin, going beyond simple hydration.

Best For: Individuals with dehydrated, combination, or sensitive skin looking for an easy, instant hydration boost and barrier support throughout the day.

Key Benefits:

• Instantly refreshes and hydrates with an ultra-fine mist.
• Soothes irritation and redness with Centella Asiatica and Panthenol.
