This mist is very moisturizing and nourishing. It calms red and irritated skin. Love how it feels on my skin. I have bought the entire system minus the face wash. I love the duo serum + cream, as well :). Only issue is with Glaze. The tube stopped expelling gloss at the applicator tip and I had to apply more pressure to get it out. It gushed out the top and I lost a lot of product all over my arm and mirror :(. I’m very sad because I liked the Glaze product.
What an amazing product!! As a standalone or with the entire product line! moisturizing, great barrier protection
I’m usually not a fan of sprays but this is not your average moisturizer. When I use this as my last step it literally makes my skin GLOW. NOT greasy but so wonderful. 5 ⭐️ will always be in my arsenal of face products!
I'm really enjoying using this product after I use the glow and the elevate. My skin is very dry and I usually have to use a significant amount of moisturizer multiple times a day but I have noticed I barely have to use any moisturizer when I use the defend and my skin feels hydrated for a long time. I think it is definitely worth trying.
