What it is: A collection of hydrating facial mists from Olay.
These spritzes promise to absorb instantly and immediately boost “dull, dry and tight skin.” Available in two targeted options: Calming With Aloe Leaf & Chamomile and Energizing With Vitamin C & Bergamot.
The “microfine” mists increase hydration by up to 60 per cent, according to the brand’s website, as well as hydrate, calm and reduce inflammation. The Olay Mist Ultimate Hydration Essences are formulated without oils, parabens, artificial colours or dyes.
What we say: A simple spritz like these Olay releases can work overtime in a skincare lineup, acting as a primer before makeup, a setting spray, a mid-day pick me up, a travel companion for inflight and post-flight hydration, a … well, you get the idea.
Our tester, a self-described “skincare addict” in her 60s, tried the Calming option. Used as directed (before your moisturizer, following makeup application, or anytime you need to de-stress), she enjoyed how the spritz applied in a fine mist (no full-face assault with an aggressive sprayer here), had a pleasant scent and absorbed quickly into skin without leaving a sticky finish or oily slick.
She said the hydrating formula left skin with a “good canvas for moisturizer,” and feeling comfortable and supple.
