Anyone who reads my blog knows that I am a
regular user of certain Dermalogica products. My staple from them are the
Ultracalming Cleanser and the Skin Hydrating Masque, which is great for my
sensitive and dehydrated skin. Their Multi-Active Toner fell out of the love
zone when I discovered Hada Labo's Super Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizing Lotion.
My skin has never been better when I made the switch...which I am glad!
Though I am using that one on a regular
basis, I thought of going full fledge on anti-aging products for my night time
routine. Now, this is where this Antioxidant mist comes into the picture. When
I read the description given on the product, I was sold! Those are the areas
which I want to target and I greatly hope that this product will be able to do
all that it claims.
Product Description
A refreshing antioxidant shield with
flash-firming properties to improve skin texture while intensely hydrating dry,
dehydrated skin. Convenient mist-on formula supplements skin's protective
barrier by creating an active antioxidant shield of White Tea, Licorice and
Vitamin E to fight damaging free radicals, while a patented polypeptide helps
prevent the signs of aging caused by Advanced Glycation End-products. A
highly-active Vitamin C complex, combined with collagen-stimulating peptides,
encourages firmness and elasticity to help reduce the appearance of fine lines.
Hyaluronic Acid acts as a hydration magnet to quench dehydrated skin while Pea
Extract creates instant firming action to lift and tighten. Rose and Clove
extracts comfort and refresh skin.

My Experience
Texture and colour: Watery and clear.
Scent: Faint rose scent, which is bearable.
As always, Dermalogica's packaging always
scores points from me. The nozzle spray spritz the mist very finely unto my
skin and I think if I ran out of the product, I will definitely recycle the
packaging.
The mist acts like any ordinary toner for
me, which is used to prep my skin before I massage my anti-aging oil and
serums. Before I bought this product, I was a little hesitant in the beginning,
in fear that I may develop the same allergy reactions when I used one of the
products from the same Age-Smart series. My face literally developed rashes the
next day and I had to consult my own doctor to calm the allergy down. Took me 4
days for it to subside! So, using this product is a 'huge' step for me.
Thankfully, my skin is able to tolerate
this mist and I did not experience any burning sensations while using this.
This mist does provide hydration to my skin...but, if I were to compare it with
Hada Labo, of course the latter wins hands down. Other than the hydration, I
somehow don't see remarkable changes on my skin , even though with 4 months
plus of usage. Though 'visually' there isn't much, I am hoping it is working
deep down the layers of my skin....which, perhaps....will tell a different
story in the future?
Overall
I can't really say I am in love with this
mist...or hate it either. The reason I like it is because of it's anti-aging
properties, which I am able to incorporate into my night time routine. However,
it does not provide enough hydration for my dehydrated skin...unlike my
favourite Hada Labo. One more gripe, I don't understand why Dermalogica
products in Malaysia is more expensive from the rest of the countries?
This item was purchased by me for my
personal purposes. This review is based on my honest and personal experience
with this product and is not influenced by any parties.
