What it is: A mist that instantly forms an invisible protective barrier to shield your skin from the aging effects of pollution.

Who it's for: All skin types.

What it does: It strengthens skin's natural defenses against oxidative stress, and boosts skin's ability to detox, too.

Love this

I am addicted to a good spritz. I will always have about 2/3 in my stash. Just cracked this one open. I haven’t found a ren product that I don’t like, and this is no different. Will definitely repurchase. Good value for money, and smells good. Helps hugely with my dehydration

Ok, but not great

Pros: this was a light, fine mist, not a hose. I had no issues with the packaging or the applicator. In fact, I have washed the empty bottle to transfer other toners to it as I love its misting action! Cons, I wasn’t that impressed with the mist itself. I didn’t find it particularly hydrating.

Anti-pollution Mist

I love using a mist after cleansing, I find it preps my skin nicely for moisturiser and other products. This is a lovely light mist, it is extremely fine so doesn’t soak your face. I find it really nourishing and hydrating (it’s beautiful to use in summer and warmer months) Has a lovely light scent which I love!

Nice Mist

I am quite new to mist products but so far I am enjoying using this one. It is a really fine mist and gives an even coverage across your face. It absorbs really quickly and definitely gives my skin a little boost. I have been using it over make-up, moisturisers and on bare skin and all have worked nicely. I think I would need to use it for a bit longer to really determine the long term effects, but so far, so good!

Average mist

I am an avid mist user and I tried many. This has one of the finest mists and that is what I really like. I would not run to repurchase as I do not feel it adds much benefit, however I find it pleasant to use and I would use it again if it was on sale or if I received it as a gift. I actually enjoy the scent, compared to other reviewers.

Good mist

Living in London made me slightly obsessed with anti pollution skincare, so I decided to give this one a try. I’ve used a fair share of mists but this one didn’t convince me all that much only due to the smell. It’s just too chemical for me, although it doesn’t linger on.

Flash anti pollution mist

I like using a mist after cleansing to prep my skin ready for moisturiser. This is really refreshing and such a nice fine mist. I find I can use quite a lot and it sinks in quickly. Sometimes I store in the fridge to give it a cooling effect. Absolutely one I will repurchase.
