WHEN SHOULD I USE A FACE MIST?
You can use a face mist at any stage of your skincare routine and throughout the day. At INKEY, we’ve identified the 3 best occasions to use a hydrating mist to get the best results.
- After cleansing for an extra boost of hydration.
- As the final step in your skincare routine to lock in hydration and give skin a dewy glow.
- On-the-go to refresh skin and revive makeup
WOULD THIS BE USED BEFORE OR AFTER THE HYDRATE STEP?
Before the hydrate stage. If you use Hydro-Surge Dewy Face Mist followed by Hyaluronic Acid Serum, hydration levels are boosted by 39%* (*48-hour comparative hydration and skin barrier study on 31 participants)
WOULD THIS REPLACE ANY OF THE STEPS IN MY CURRENT ROUTINE? No, this would be an addition to boost your hydration.
CAN I USE THIS MIST WITH OTHER PRODUCTS? Yes, including Vitamin C, Retinol and active ingredients.
CAN I USE THIS AS OFTEN AS REQUIRED? You can use our hydrating mist as often as you like - whenever your skin feels dry and in need of a hydration boost, or when you feel your makeup needs a refresh.
DOES IT LEAVE A STICKY OR GREASY RESIDUE? No, we formulated our mist to be non-sticky, non-greasy and non-tacky.
HOW LONG DOES THE HYDRATION LAST? Our mist is clinically proven to deliver instant hydration that lasts for 12 hours* (*96-hr clinical patch-test on 31 people & 2-week consumer trial of 103 people)
WHAT DOES IT FEEL LIKE? We formulated to ensure the mist is super lightweight and disperses in a cloud-like spray to evenly distribute product across the face. It’s a non-sticky, non-greasy formula that feels weightless on skin.
CAN I USE THIS ON TOP OF SPF? WILL IT AFFECT SUNSCREEN PERFORMANCE? Yes, you can use our hydrating mist over SPF. Ensure the SPF has dried down fully before misting to be certain you have full coverage. The mist provides a very light veil of hydration so will not move or impact sunscreen performance.
CAN I USE THIS ON TOP OF MAKEUP? Yes, we tested our hydrating mist under and over makeup. Consumers agreed the mist helped blend makeup for natural, dewy skin finish. Makeup looked more seamless, less cakey and had an instant glow** (**2-week consumer trial of 103 people)
WILL IT HELP SET MY MAKEUP? This is not a setting mist; however, it will refresh and improve the look of your makeup for a natural, dewy skin finish.
WHY IS THIS MIST FRAGRANCE-FREE? We prioritize ingredients that deliver real skin benefits. That’s why we haven’t added any unnecessary ingredients, including fragrance. Fragrance can also sometimes cause irritation, making our fragrance-free formula suitable for even the most sensitive skin.
DOES THIS MIST CONTAIN ALCOHOL? No. While some mists use alcohol to improve product dispersion, it can be drying and potentially irritating to the skin. At INKEY, we’ve developed our misting technology to create the perfect, cloud-like mist—without the need for alcohol.
WHAT MAKES THIS MIST DIFFERENT FROM OTHERS ON THE MARKET? We have spent some serious time crafting a mist that nails what we are as a brand, what we expect from a mist and how our INKEY customers expect us to show up. We worked super hard on the atomizer of the mist to ensure the misting experience felt incredible, resulting in a lightweight veil unlike some others we tried that felt scattered and heavy. The ingredients we have packed into this mist provide intense and consistent hydration while giving your skin a natural, buildable glow- a glow without glitter or gimmicks.
DOES IT HAVE ADDED SKINCARE BENEFITS LIKE ANTIOXIDANTS OR SOOTHING PROPERTIES? The mist is packed with antioxidant minerals and hydrating ingredients which help support the skin barrier, protecting and soothing the skin.
CAN I USE THIS WITH PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION? Yes, there are no ingredients of concern in the formula but if you have any concerns, consult with your medical professional in advance and patch test.
WHO IS THIS BEST FOR? All skin types, particularly dry and dehydrated skin.
IS THIS MIST SUITABLE FOR ACNE-PRONE / OILY SKIN? IS IT NON-COMEDEGENIC? Yes, the formulation contains no heavy occlusives or emollients.
IS THIS SUITABLE FOR SENSITIVE SKIN? Yes
CAN I USE THIS ON ECZEMA / DERMATITIS? Although this product has been tested on sensitive skin, we would always recommend you consult with your medical professional and patch testing prior to using a product on a medical skin condition.
WHAT IS THE PH LEVEL OF THIS PRODUCT? 5-5.5
IS THIS PRDUCT VEGAN? Yes! Hydro-Surge Dewy Face Mist contains no animal derivatives and is now certified by The Vegan Society.
