You say:
Olay Mist Ultimate Hydration Essence – Energizing
“The mist is super light and it feels like you have to spray a lot of the product on your face before you feel anything. This is a good thing as I was able to spray as much as I wanted and the mist did not saturate my face or ruin the look of my makeup, even after repeatedly spraying my face with the mist.” Keely Gemma, read more here…
“The Vitamin C and Bergamot really give it a refreshing citrus scent which is perfect to start off your morning feeling uplifted. The packaging is sleek and makes it easy to take out and about.” annieleem, read more here…
“This formula contains Vitamin B3, Vitamin C and bergamot and feels like it adds light hydration and makes my skin feel really soft. However, it didn’t work so well over makeup. It made my foundation a bit sticky so I’ll stick to using it as a toner.” Bijoux, read more here…
Olay Mist Ultimate Hydration Essence – Calming
“It leaves my skin feeling hydrated and ever so slightly tacky to the touch. It doesn’t really leave a residue or weight on your skin, but it does kinda feel like theres an invisible barrier, preventing your skin from losing as much moisture?” Karano, read more here…
“There is a faint scent that smells nice, a very clean and crisp scent, however, those sensitive to smells might not enjoy this mist. When used as a toner after cleansing, this mist immediately brings hydration and relief to the face, soothing it and making it a nice base for the rest of my skincare routine.” Arlise, read more here…
“I spray onto my makeup so that foundation and concealer looks less cakey and softens the whole makeup look. It does the job beautifully and because the mist is so fine, it does not mess up my makeup.” Helen T, read more here…
Great product to trial, well done to all involved
I’m trialling atm Calming version. Does not hydrate, has typical Olay soapy scent and stings a bit before it dries out. Packaging very cheap (thin plastic). Mister good. Will see….
Such a versatile product
I think I’ve commented on this already?
Interesting products
I love the fragrance of this spray
I never knew they did a mist. A tad over olay these days though.
Sounds like a nice change from the usual toners

After using this calming version for several days now…still don’t get it
I prefer a toner unless it’s hot weather
Olay are always coming up with new to the minute products
I am happy enough with what I do with my hair.
Don’t know why a spammer writes on this topic!
Interesting that it doesn’t affect make-up when spayed on top
Repeat article.
I dont really get the idea of a mist – may be cooling on your face if place in the fridge but other than that who knows
I’ve reported the post by Morgancole below on the “SERIAL SPAM MEMBER ON BH” thread.
JL, I was just wondering if bergamot extract the same thing as bergamot oil? The ingredients list states:
Citrus Aurantium Bergamia (Bergamot) Fruit Extract
I have no idea if the extract is just as bad. Hmm maybe I should go for the hydrating version instead.
Great reviews. The packaging looks very luxe.
Love love love Olay.
