At-a-Glance (for thirsty, sensitive skin)(your 30-second briefing)
If your skin feels tight, irritated, or looks dull from the heat or long hours in AC, this mist is your instant rescue. It uses a golden ratio of soothing Centella Asiatica and multi-layered Hyaluronic Acid to immediately replenish moisture, reduce redness, and restore a comfortable, plump feeling. The mist is so fine it feels like a refreshing fog, perfect for a quick reset anytime, anywhere, even over makeup.
Quick Start (your 60-second routine)(get going, fast)
- Cleanser — A quick wash creates a clean base.
- THIS PRODUCT — Hold 20-30cm away, close your eyes, and spray 2-3 times over the face.
- Sunscreen (AM) / Moisturiser (PM) — Seal in the hydration and protect your skin.
Note: Already own a hydrating toner or essence? Finish that first to avoid waste (substitute, don’t stack).
AM Routine Guide (morning order)(how to use in the morning)
- Minimalist (3 steps): 1) Cleanser → 2) THIS PRODUCT (as your toner step) → 3) Sunscreen SPF 30+
- Optional: Add a dedicated serum (like Vitamin C) after the mist if you are targeting specific concerns like dark spots. Only add a moisturiser if your sunscreen doesn't feel hydrating enough for your skin.
- Wait times: Allow the mist to absorb for about 30-60 seconds before applying sunscreen or makeup.
PM Routine Guide (evening order)(recommended for starting)
- Minimalist (3 steps): 1) Cleanser (double-cleanse if you wore makeup or water-resistant SPF) → 2) THIS PRODUCT → 3) Moisturiser (to lock everything in).
- Optional: On nights you use an exfoliant (AHA/BHA), you can use this mist afterward for an extra layer of soothing hydration before your moisturiser.
- Texture rule: As a watery mist, this should be one of the first leave-on steps in your routine after cleansing.
How to Use (beginner-friendly guide)(application & tips)
-
Daily Use — AM/PM & On-the-Go:
- Amount: 2-3 sprays are sufficient for the entire face.
- Apply to: Face and neck. Close your eyes and mouth during application.
- Method: Hold the bottle about 20-30 cm away from your face and press the nozzle firmly for an even, fine mist. Gently pat to absorb or let it air dry.
- Frequency: Use daily after cleansing (AM/PM) in place of a toner, or spray throughout the day whenever your skin feels dry, hot, or tight. Excellent for refreshing skin during long workdays in air-conditioning.
-
If-This / Then-That:
- Skin feels hot/flushed? This mist provides an immediate cooling sensation.
- Makeup looks cakey mid-day? A light spritz can help refresh your makeup and restore a dewy finish.
- Sensitive or reactive skin? This is a gentle, soothing formula ideal for calming redness and irritation.
- Worried about inhaling the product? Due to its ultra-fine spray, it's best to hold your breath for a second during application, or spray it into your palms and then pat it onto your face.
- Watchouts (1 line): Stinging eyes = spraying too close or not closing eyes fully; coughing = inhaling the fine particles; no results = remember it's a hydrator, so consistent use and sealing with a moisturiser/SPF is key.
- Safety: Avoid broken or irritated skin. Stop use if a burning rash occurs. For teens, this is a great, gentle hydrator to use with a basic cleanser–moisturiser–SPF routine.
Weekly Planner (example & alternating actives)(how it fits in your week)
-
If gentle daily item (like this mist):
- Daily: Use AM and PM after cleansing, and as needed during the day. It's compatible with almost any routine.
-
If you use irritation-prone actives (AHA/BHA, Retinoids):
- This mist is an excellent soothing step to use after cleansing, *before* your active, or on nights you are giving your skin a break from strong ingredients. It helps buffer the skin and provides calming hydration.
- AM/PM cheat-sheet: Use this mist anytime. It pairs well with Vitamin C (AM), Niacinamide (AM/PM), and can be used on nights you use Retinoids or Exfoliants.
- Mauritius note: In peak summer humidity, this mist followed by a lightweight gel sunscreen might be all the daytime hydration you need. In drier winter months, layer it under a creamier moisturiser.
What to Expect (results timeline)(patience is key)
- Immediate: Skin feels cooled, refreshed, and instantly hydrated. A subtle dewy glow appears.
- 2–4 weeks: With consistent use, skin feels more balanced and less prone to dehydration-related tightness. Redness and sensitivity may appear visibly calmer.
- 4–8+ weeks: Skin's moisture barrier feels healthier and more resilient. The cumulative effects of hydration and soothing from the Hyalu-Cica formula contribute to a consistently plump, comfortable complexion.
Myth Replacement (why this, not that)(smarter skincare choices)
- Why this, not just water spray? Plain water can evaporate from your skin and take your skin's own moisture with it, leaving it drier (a process called transepidermal water loss). This mist is formulated with humectants like Hyaluronic Acid and Glycerin that actively bind water to your skin, providing lasting hydration.
- Why this, not harsh astringent toners? Toners with high concentrations of stripping alcohols can damage your skin's moisture barrier, leading to irritation and rebound oiliness. This mist hydrates and soothes without stripping, supporting a healthy skin barrier.
Compatibility Guide (layering)(what to pair it with)
- Works with: Virtually everything. It’s a team player. Use it with Vitamin C, Niacinamide, Retinoids, Peptides, and chemical exfoliants (AHA, BHA, PHA). It's excellent for adding a layer of soothing hydration to any routine.
- Use carefully with: No major conflicts. The only "careful" point is physical: apply it before thicker creams and oils so it can be properly absorbed.
- Avoid on [Area]: Avoid spraying directly into open eyes. If irritation occurs, rinse with water.
Skin Type Compatibility (who is it for?)(find your match)
- Dry & Dehydrated: Excellent. Provides multiple layers of hyaluronic acid for deep, lasting hydration. A perfect first step before serums and creams.
- Oily & Combination: Excellent. It's a lightweight, non-greasy way to hydrate oily skin without adding heavy creams. Can help balance sebum production by keeping skin properly hydrated.
- Sensitive & Acne-Prone: Excellent. The core ingredients (Centella Asiatica, Green Tea) are specifically chosen for their calming and soothing properties to reduce redness and irritation. It is non-comedogenic.
- Normal: Excellent. A simple and effective way to maintain skin balance and boost radiance.

Troubleshooting Guide (fix common issues)(quick solutions)
- Issue: It stings my eyes! → You might be spraying too close to your face or not closing your eyes tightly enough. Hold the bottle further away (20-30 cm) or spray into your palms and pat onto the skin.
- Issue: I cough when I spray it. → The mist is extremely fine and can be inhaled. Hold your breath for the moment of spraying, or use the "spray into palms" method.
- Issue: My skin still feels dry. → A mist is a hydrator, not an occlusive. You must follow up with a moisturiser (PM) or sunscreen (AM) to seal the hydration in and prevent it from evaporating.
- Issue: The spray feels uneven. → Make sure you are pressing the nozzle down firmly and completely to get the finest, most even distribution.
Climate Fit for Mauritius (local user guide)(for our tropical weather)
- Humid Summer: This is your best friend. In the peak humidity of summer, this mist plus a lightweight, gel-based sunscreen might be all the daytime hydration you need, especially for oily or combination skin. It provides a refreshing break from the heat without adding any weight.
- Drier Winter/Indoors: Perfect for combating the dehydrating effects of air-conditioning. Keep it on your desk for a quick spritz to prevent that tight, dry feeling that builds up over the day. During the cooler, drier winter months, layer it generously under your regular moisturiser.
