News Headlines - The Rise in Mists

Why mists are more popular than ever in Korea

• Mists are convenient to hydrate the skin and can also be used as a toner substitute.

• These days, they are more frequently used in between seasons when more and more people feel they need to pay more attention to skin care. 

• As a result of COVID, misting just makes sense because you can use the products anytime without putting your hands to your face
• This also minimises the risk of irritation and allows you to quickly care for your skin in a safe and hygienic manner

How the mist category has expanded 

• Beauty brands are expanding their momentum by introducing multi-mists
• They're adding various functions such as barrier management, hydration, and elasticity beyond just supplying moisture
• This maximises the advantages of mist.

Newest functions in the mist category 

• Popular mist products including APLB’s Centella Complex Mist, d’Alba Piedmont First Spray Serum, Dr Jart Ceramidin Cream Mist & Laneige Cream Skin Refiner Mist

• D'Alba's "White Truffle Mist Serum" is a representative example. It has established itself as a popular item not only in Korea but also in the world with its easy use and excellent product power developed in the form of a spray. D'Alba's flagship product reportedly surpassed 10 million bottles in December last year.

• This product was this round’s STYLE STORY Testers Club product:

• 5 Star Review: “I have been using this cream for a little over a week & although I only suffer from a few spots here & there it has reduced my acne redness dramatically in that time. I also spend a lot of time in water & in the sun (with sunscreen on) but unfortunately that doesn't stop my barrier becoming a little sensitive over the day, this cream soothed my skin irritation immediately & I can tell it is perfect for these times as it doesn't sting at all when applied. I even tried it on someone else's skin that seemed to have a bit of irritation on their cheeks & it soothed the irritation instantly It has wonderful soothing ingredients like glycerin, niacinamide & colloidal sulphur making it perfect for rosacea sufferers like myself. The only thing is that it doesn’t have the nicest scent but in my experience, anything that works really well doesn’t. Love it”
