3W CLINIC MAKE UP PEARL MIST

Values: 100% Genuine • Vegan-Friendly* • Cruelty-Free*

If your makeup looks flawless at 8 AM but turns into a dry, powdery mask by lunchtime in the office AC, your skin is experiencing rapid moisture evaporation. This mist bridges the gap, re-liquefying powders and restoring surface hydration without disrupting your base.

Pros: Excellent at resolving "cakey" makeup, massive 150ml value size, very fine mist mechanism.
Caveats: Contains alcohol for fast drying, carries a noticeable floral fragrance.

*Self-assessed by Adilsons based on available INCI data. No animal-derived ingredients detected. This is NOT a formal vegan certification.

*Brand-stated policy. Not independently certified by a third-party audit.

Bedside Compatible: Yes. No sink required.

This is a top-tier low-energy product. On days when a full routine feels impossible, a few sprays of this mist provide immediate surface hydration and comfort without needing to touch your face.

It dries down in under 30 seconds. There is zero sensory aversion or heavy, tacky residue to manage.

Step 1: Use AM, PM, or throughout the day as needed.

Step 2: Hold the bottle 20-30cm away from your face.

Step 3: Close your eyes and spray 3-4 times in an "X" and "T" motion across the face.

Introduce this as the ONLY new product in your routine. Wait a full 14 days before adding anything else. This isolation window ensures you can identify whether any reaction is caused by this specific product.

1. Water Rinse or Gentle Cleanser
2. Hydrating Toner
3. Vitamin C or Antioxidant Serum
4. Moisturizer
5. Sunscreen (Wait 10 mins)
6. Makeup
7. 3W Clinic Make Up Pearl Mist (to set and melt powders)

In Mauritius morning humidity, humectants like the Hyaluronic Acid in this mist work exceptionally well because they draw water from the humid air rather than from deeper skin layers.

1. Double Cleanse (Oil then Water cleanser)
2. 3W Clinic Make Up Pearl Mist (used as a hydrating prep step)
3. Treatment Serum (e.g., Niacinamide or barrier support)
4. Moisturizer

While marketed as a makeup mist, its water-glycerin-aloe base makes it an excellent "sandwiching" mist to dampen the skin right before applying a thicker moisturizer at night.

Apply to dry makeup to set, or to damp skin between skincare layers to boost hydration. Spraying from at least 20cm away ensures the mist disperses evenly without leaving large water droplets that could streak your foundation.

Wait 30-60 seconds for the product to naturally evaporate and form its hydrating film. Do not pat or rub it in if wearing makeup.

This is an encyclopedia map of all product types. You do not use all of these daily. You select modules based on your skin state.

Viscosity ladder: thinnest → thickest; water-phase before oil-phase; treatments before seals.

Wait-time defaults: watery layers 10-20s; serum layers 30-60s; before sunscreen 10-15 min if going outdoors or applying makeup.

Amount defaults (unless brand-specific instructions override):
Watery toner/essence: 5-8 drops per layer (or "coin-size puddle in palm")
Serum/ampoule: 2-3 drops or 1 pump (face), add +1 drop for neck if used
Eye product: ½ rice-grain per eye (very small)
Gel moisturizer: 1 pea-1.5 peas; Cream: 1-2 peas
Occlusive seal: rice-grain to pea-size max (thin film)
Sunscreen: 2-finger rule for face; +1 finger for neck

Skin state rules:
Hydrators (toners/essences/HA): best on slightly damp skin.
Retinoids: best on fully dry skin; if sensitive, wait 10 minutes after cleansing.
Exfoliating acids: apply to dry or lightly damp depending on irritation; keep to one lane.
Hard cap rule: If routine pills, stings, or feels heavy → reduce layers, not increase.

AM MAXIMUM STACK:

1. Rinse / Gentle Cleanse (optional) - 1-2 pumps. Use when: oily waking skin.
2. pH-Prep / Balancing Toner (optional) - 5-8 drops. Wait 10-20s.
3. Hydrating Toner Layers (1-3 layers, optional) - 5-8 drops. In high humidity, 1 layer is enough.
4. Essence (optional) - 5-8 drops.
5. Mist / Thermal Water (optional micro-step) - 1-2 sprays. Use for: re-dampening.
6. Booster / Soothing Serum (optional) - 2-3 drops.
7. Antioxidant Lane (choose ONE) - Vitamin C on dry skin, or gentler derivative on damp skin.
8. Pigment Support Lane (optional) - 2-3 drops.
9. Hydration Serum Lane (optional) - 2-3 drops on damp skin.
10. Oil-Control Lane (optional) - 2-3 drops.

15. Sunscreen SPF50+ PA++++ (non-negotiable) - 2 fingers. Wait 10-15 min.
16. Lip SPF (optional) - 1 swipe.

In AM, prioritize comfort + SPF adherence over stacking. In high humidity, fewer layers often perform better.

10. Moisturizer - 1-2 peas.
11. Sleeping Mask (optional) - thin layer.
12. Occlusive Seal (optional) - rice-grain size. Avoid if clog-prone.
13. Spot Treatment / Pimple Patch (as needed) - rice-grain amount.
14. Lip Sleeping Mask (optional) - thin swipe.

Do not layer retinoids with AHA/BHA in the same night; keep 'one lane' per night.

One-lane rule: Retinoid OR Exfoliation OR Strong Vitamin C (LAA) OR Acne-control active per routine; barrier/hydration can always accompany. If unsure: default to the safest lane = barrier/hydration, and reduce layers.

Viscosity Position: Rung 1 (Water-thin liquid).

Because it is entirely water-based with no heavy oils, it sits at the very bottom of the viscosity ladder. However, its primary use case is as a makeup finisher, placing it conceptually at the very end of your AM routine.

If used within a skincare routine (without makeup), apply it immediately after cleansing and before your serums. The water phase layers effortlessly under heavier emulsions.

This is a sensory and aesthetic product, not a deeply structural treatment. It modifies the surface finish of your skin and makeup, providing temporary hydration rather than long-term cellular remodeling.

Before starting this product, your routine MUST already include: a reliable daily moisturizer and SPF. Mists do not replace your core lipid barrier products.

If your skin stings on moisturizer, feels tight within 30 minutes of cleansing, or shows visible flaking — your barrier is below threshold. Start with a dedicated barrier repair cream before introducing alcohol-containing mists.

Powdery/Cakey Makeup: The water/glycerin matrix acts as a solvent for dry makeup powders, melting them into a single, cohesive layer that mimics natural skin.

Midday Dehydration: Delivers instant surface hydration via Sodium Hyaluronate when the skin begins to feel tight in climate-controlled environments.

Cannot physically shrink pores or alter your skin's natural oil production. It is a surface-level enhancer and hydrator.

• Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun: Provides the perfect hydrated base under makeup, which this mist sets flawlessly. (Use AM).
• SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule: Layer the mist over this ampoule at night to drive the Centella deeper via moisture sandwiching. (Use AM/PM).

Permeability: Water-Permeable (wudu-compatible).

This product is entirely water-based and contains no silicones, heavy waxes, or occlusive polymers. It does not form an impermeable waterproof barrier over the skin, allowing ablution water to reach the epidermis.

Adilsons provides this assessment based on the product's physical properties. Rulings on wudu validity vary between scholars. Consult your own trusted Islamic authority.

This mist excels at the "melt" — making foundation and powder look like real skin. However, it will not "glue" your makeup to your face for a 12-hour outdoor event in Mauritian summer heat.

MYTH: 'Spraying water on your face hydrates it.' REALITY: Pure water evaporates quickly, taking your skin's natural moisture with it. This mist contains Glycerin and Hyaluronic Acid to trap the water on the surface and prevent this dehydration.

MYTH: 'Alcohol in skincare is always bad.' REALITY: In mists, a low concentration of cosmetic alcohol ensures the product dries down quickly without destroying your makeup layer. It acts as a necessary delivery vehicle.

In air-conditioned office environments, hyaluronic acid draws moisture FROM your deeper skin layers instead of from the air. ALWAYS ensure your morning routine includes a proper moisturizer underneath your makeup to seal the skin before relying on midday mists.

Full INCI List: Water, Glycerin, Alcohol, Propanediol, Propylene Glycol, Sodium Hyaluronate, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Allantoin, Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Extract, Nelumbo Nucifera Flower Extract, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, [--- Estimated 1% Line ---] Pearl Extract, Phenoxyethanol, Disodium EDTA, Fragrance.

Pearl Extract appears below the estimated 1% line. At this concentration, it is unlikely to deliver deep clinical effect and is primarily included for its trace mineral profile and marketing narrative.*

*Clinical evidence for topical pearl extract is emerging and often based on in-vitro studies.

Fragrance Status: Contains Synthetic Fragrance (Parfum).

Scent Description: A classic, powdery floral scent typical of traditional K-Beauty cosmetics.

Intensity and Dissipation: Intensity (3/5). Dissipation (Lingering 5min+).

Alcohol Disclosure: Contains drying alcohol high in the INCI list to ensure rapid evaporation over makeup. May trigger tightness in severely dry or barrier-damaged skin.

*Based on brand-declared INCI. The term 'Fragrance' or 'Parfum' in the INCI list may contain undisclosed allergens. Patch test advised for sensitive individuals.

Halal Status: Self-Assessed Halal-Friendly.* Contains cosmetic alcohol, which some schools permit as it is not for consumption, but users should consult their scholars regarding the specific synthetic fragrance and alcohol.

Vegan Status: Self-Assessed Vegan-Friendly.*

Cruelty-Free Status: Brand-stated cruelty-free.*

*Self-assessed by Adilsons based on available INCI data. No animal-derived ingredients detected. This is NOT a formal vegan certification.

*Brand states cruelty-free, but sells products in Mainland China where post-market animal testing may be required by law. Cross-border e-commerce sales may be exempt.

MFDS Classification: General Cosmetic. This product is regulated for safety and basic hydration, but does not carry registered functional claims for anti-aging or whitening.

Evidence Confidence: Moderate for surface hydration (via Glycerin/HA). Low/Marketing-Only* for significant structural changes from Pearl Extract.

Fungal Acne Safety: FA-Safe. Contains no major lipid esters, fatty acids, or oils that feed Malassezia yeast in the declared INCI.

Pilling Assessment: Low.

Because it is a sprayable liquid with minimal polymers, it rarely causes underlying skincare or makeup to pill. In fact, it is often used to *resolve* the look of pilling or separated makeup by re-wetting the layers.

If you experience streaking, ensure you are holding the bottle far enough away (20cm+) so it dispenses as a fine mist, not heavy water drops.

Baseline: A clear to very slightly cloudy liquid. No separation should occur.

Storage: Store out of direct sunlight. The bottle is transparent, making the formula susceptible to UV degradation if left on a sunny Mauritian windowsill.

Spoilage Signs: If the liquid becomes cloudy, develops floating particles, or the floral scent turns sour/vinegary, discard the product immediately.

Patch Test: Spray on the inner forearm (wait 24h), then behind the ear (wait 24h), before applying over the entire face.

If adverse reaction: STOP ALL ACTIVES. For 72 hours, use ONLY gentle cleanser + plain moisturizer + mineral SPF. NO acids, retinoids, Vitamin C, exfoliants, or essential oils. After 72h, reintroduce ONE product per 14 days.

Emergency Stop Signals: Hives, swelling, blistering, persistent burning, breathing difficulty (seek emergency care).

1. Spraying too close to the face, resulting in large droplets that streak foundation.

2. Using this as a "setting spray" expecting 12-hour sweatproof hold (it is a hydrating/melting mist, not an acrylic-based fixing spray).

3. Relying on this mist as your *only* form of hydration without using a moisturizer underneath to lock the water in.

4. Spraying over the eyes while they are partially open, leading to alcohol sting.

Volume: 150ml. Recommended amount per use: 3-4 sprays (approx 0.5ml). Uses per container: approximately 300 applications.

At recommended dosage (once daily): lasts approximately 300 days (10 months). If used multiple times a day for "refreshing", it will deplete significantly faster.

Reorder in approximately 8 months. We recommend reordering 2 weeks before estimated depletion for shipping time.

The Dewy Base Protocol

This routine ensures your skin remains hydrated underneath your makeup, using the mist as the final refining step.

AM Routine:

1. Cleanse with water.
2. Apply Anua Peach 70 Niacin Serum (2-3 drops on damp skin). Wait 30s.

5. Apply makeup.
6. 3W Clinic Make Up Pearl Mist (3 sprays to set).

If you work in a heavily air-conditioned office, keep the mist at your desk and reapply a light veil whenever your foundation starts looking dry or separated.

After purchasing, you will receive our skincare education email series covering this product in depth.

The recommendations above are based on formulation synergy with 3W Clinic Make Up Pearl Mist, not on margin or stock levels. If a pairing does not exist in our catalog, we say so. If you already own a product that fills the same role, use what you have first.

If your skin is highly sensitive to alcohol or synthetic fragrance, this mist may cause stinging. Consider a purely soothing, alcohol-free mist or hydrating toner decanted into a spray bottle.

We do not currently carry a dedicated fragrance-free/alcohol-free setting mist — this category is under sourcing review. However, applying the SKIN1004 Centella Ampoule under your makeup will provide deeper barrier hydration without the alcohol risk.

This product's PRIMARY function is: makeup setting and surface hydration. You do NOT need this if you already own: another hydrating or dewy finish setting spray (like MAC Fix+ or similar K-Beauty mists). Finish your current product before purchasing.

Check your current shelf. Do you have an open product with the same primary function? Skincare products lose efficacy after opening (PAO = 12 months). Buying new while old expires is waste.

This product is sourced through authorized Korean distributors — primarily Craver Co., Ltd (South Korea), alongside other verified distribution partners. Craver is a major Korean beauty distributor, handling authorized distribution for multiple K-beauty brands. All products are shipped directly to Mauritius via verified channels.

Quick Verification: Check for a clear, legible expiration date and batch code printed on the bottom of the bottle. K-Beauty packaging rarely uses stickers for batch codes.

3W Clinic, owned by Xai Cosmetics, is one of South Korea's most established budget-friendly beauty brands. They focus on delivering traditional, proven ingredients (like collagen, aloe, and pearl) in highly accessible, large-volume formats.

Their formulation philosophy leans heavily on classic cosmetic chemistry rather than trend-chasing. This results in reliable, straightforward products that have maintained a dedicated following for over a decade, particularly in the Asian drugstore market.

Users with dry skin frequently praise its ability to completely remove the "dusty" look of setting powders, mentioning it leaves a natural, skin-like glow without feeling heavy or oily.

Some users note the fragrance is quite traditional and strong upon initial spray, though it dissipates after a few minutes.

Common Praise: Massive bottle size, extremely fine spray mechanism, instant dewy finish.
Common Complaints: Noticeable floral scent, contains alcohol which deters some skincare minimalists.

The plastic bottle and cap are generally recyclable; rinse thoroughly before disposal in your local recycling bin.

Will this make my makeup transfer-proof?

No. This is a hydrating mist that melts powders into the skin for a better finish. It does not contain the strong acrylic polymers needed to lock makeup against physical transfer or heavy sweating.

Can I use this without makeup?

Yes. You can use it directly after cleansing as a lightweight hydrating toner step before applying your serums.

Does it leave a sticky residue?

No. Thanks to the alcohol content, it evaporates very quickly and leaves a smooth, non-tacky finish on the skin.

Is the pearl extract shimmering or glittery?

No. It does not contain visible glitter particles. The "pearl" finish refers to the hydrated glow it imparts, not physical glitter.

Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL)

The process where water passively evaporates from your skin into the surrounding air, leading to dehydration.

Humectant

An ingredient (like Glycerin or Hyaluronic Acid) that acts like a sponge, drawing water to the skin's surface and holding it there.

Solvent

A liquid capable of dissolving or melting other substances. In this mist, water and alcohol act as solvents to melt dry makeup powders.

Occlusive

A moisturizing ingredient (like shea butter or petrolatum) that creates a physical seal over the skin to lock moisture in.

INCI

The International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients; the official, standardized system for listing ingredients on product labels.

Acid Mantle

The skin's natural, slightly acidic protective film (pH 4.5-5.5) made of sebum and sweat, which keeps bacteria out and moisture in.

Epidermis

The outermost layer of the skin, which serves as your primary environmental barrier.

Malassezia

A naturally occurring yeast on the skin that can overgrow and cause "fungal acne" when fed by certain cosmetic oils and lipids.

Store Policies: For the most up-to-date information, please review our Shipping Policy and Refund Policy.

Best For: Those who struggle with their makeup looking dry, powdery, or "cakey" after application, seeking an affordable, large-volume solution to melt layers into a skin-like finish.

Key Benefits: Delivers an instant, dewy glow, rapidly rehydrates the skin surface via Hyaluronic Acid, and absorbs in under 30 seconds without disrupting makeup placement.

Keep In Mind: It relies on cosmetic alcohol for its fast evaporation rate, which may cause stinging on barrier-compromised skin. It also has a distinct floral fragrance that lingers momentarily.

AC / Humidity Swing Interaction: This product contains a high concentration of water-binding humectants (Glycerin, Sodium Hyaluronate). In high humidity, it pulls moisture from the air to keep your makeup fresh.

However, if you spend 8+ hours in an air-conditioned office, the vapor pressure deficit reverses. The AC dries the air, and these same humectants can begin pulling moisture from your skin to the surface where it evaporates.

Mitigation: Always ensure your morning routine includes a proper emollient/occlusive moisturizer underneath your foundation. This creates a physical barrier so the mist's humectants cannot drain your skin's deeper water reserves.
