Hello, my beautiful friends, sorry for being MIA for so long! I try to update my daily blog but I haven't had the motivation to try and test out new products. I have been using this hydrating mist for two years now and I decided I am confident to give a review.

This is the first Kiehl's product I have featured on my blog but it isn't the first one I have used nor will it be my last.
What is this mist
This is a cooling refreshing spray/mist which purifies and hydrates skin.
It is perfect for hydrating your skin when you wake up, or when your skin feels dry during the day.
It is formulated with Cactus flower which is a good skin refresher and Tibetan ginseng which increases skin cell respiration. According to Kiehl's, this formula helps skin maintain its essential moisture to keep it soft and smooth. This product doesn't contain any Parabens.
This mist can be used under or over makeup to keep skin hydrated especially in dry environments (where you need to turn on your AC or heater).
It supports natural skin-cell respiration and helps maintain essential moisture to keep it soft and smooth while detoxifying and protecting skin from environmental aggressors.
The full ingredient list:
- Cactus Flower: Moisturizes and supports natural skin moisture.
- Tibetan Ginseng: Invigorates skin and protects against environmental aggressors.
- Geranium, Lavender and Rosemary: Soothe skin.
Water, Alcohol Denat., Glycerinpeg-40, Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Lavandula Angustifolia Oil / Lavender Oil, Pelargonium Graveolens Flower, Oil Linalool, Hydrolyzed Opuntia Ficus, Indica Flower Extract, Citronellol Rosmarinus Officinalis Leaf Oil / Rosemary Leaf Oil, Geraniol Phenoxyethanol, Rhodiola Rosea Root Extract, Ethylhexyl, Glycerin, Citral, Limonene.
How to use:
There isn't a set rule or instruction but this is what I use when I feel my skin is dry or after I wake up.
on your dry skin, spray 3-5 times and use your fingers to massage the product into your face.
First impressions:
- has a very essential oil scent (can be a pro or a con for some people)
- very light
- works immediately
- skin absorbs this product nicely (but I always massage my face with my fingers to help it absorb better)
- quenches skin
- effects (soft and smooth) last for a while but would recommend using a moisturizer after
- a slightly sticky residue remains on hands (not a fan of this)
I am a big fan of aromatic/essential oils, so I am used to this type of scent, however, I feel some might find the scent a bit too strong. It will take a while to get used to it. The scent will go away in 5 minutes of using it so don't worry about it lingering.
Despite the mist containing a lot of oils, it does not feel "oily" at all, in fact, if I haven't checked the ingredients list, I wouldn't have known it contains any oil.
Because of its lightness, the product is able to go under the dry skin barrier and replenish your skin. It somehow moisturizes the inside and hydrates your skin from the inside to the outside making your skin feel soft and smooth. It reminds me of how ionic hair dryers dry your hair from the core and works its way to the outside... except this product moisturizes your skin from the inside to the outside.
I really like this spray and highly recommend it.
score: 9.3/10
