I try to mark the sunscreen ingredients in red and other possible irritants in lilac. Ingredients thought to be good and useful for skin I mark green.  Learning as I go, google is my friend etc...







Thoughts:

Slightly on the expensive side unless you find a sale (my opinion because it is so easy to use mist quickly and it's only 100 ml)

The product promises way too much - 24 hrs of moisture??? No way! This is definitely a suitable addition for more moisture, but it shouldn't replace anything else in a routine if skin is dry



Minimal ingredients

The mist doesn't spit everywhere (it's fine but could be finer for my taste as well)

Plastic bottle is light and this would be easy to carry in purse for example (but of course plastic doesn't feel luxurious)

Not really much scent, the basic slightly stuffy smell that unfragranced products sometimes tend to have, it disappears quickly though EDIT: Now that I think about it, it smells like a cow/cowshed

No irritation and doesn't clog skin, even I can layer this a couple of times (I'm clog prone)

Watery consistency, absorbs well, leaves skin slightly sticky though when A LOT is applied, otherwise quite clean skin feel. Doesn't seem to affect other products on top or under

My face seems to look fresh and calmed afterwards so there's really nothing to complain about! Surprisingly long term hydrating and soothing for being a mist



* I had this mist only for about a week for testing before I shipped it to my sister. I had looked at this product several times before.

L300 is a Swedish pharmacy brand and they actually have a lot of interesting products, half of my mom's current skincare routine is L300. Not expensive either, at least the basic creams. I bought L300 urea body lotion for my partner as well for eczema. It is no heavy duty and it is sticky due to urea (I believe) but it works! I also use it after waxing my legs. I have wondered many times if I could just use it as a face cream and save lots of money. :)

I think I would be interested in trying at least the hand cream and Ultra Sensitive Foaming Cleanser as well... or Intensive Moisture Cleansing Milk and Micellar Cleansing Water. They cost about 7 € a piece, hand cream is about 3,5-4 €.



Price: 

15 € / 100 ml (I've seen sometimes on sale for 10 €)

Bought from: 

Supermarket

Buy again? 

Yes, very likely I'll get a bottle for myself later. When it's on sale and I have finished at least one essence/toner/liquid thing first.

Worth the money? 

Hard to say based on such a short trial but, if you have a reactive skin I believe this is a very safe choice! Especially for me this ticks the boxes of being fragrance free, easy to get and long term hydrating/soothing for being a mist. I think both dry and oily skins can use this one. But I will still say, price is on the expensive side for a mist/toner and in my opinion it should be closer to 8-10 €.
