So I bought this a while back, before I was really getting into my skincare. I thought it was something I needed to add into my routine and id heard that cbd was great for dry skin so I picked this up.
First impressions were that when it was kept in the fridge it would provide a nice cooling Mist to the skin which was lovely in the warmer weather, but aside from that it didn't do too much. Negatives were that It would irritate my skin slightly if I used too much or if I sprayed too close to my face.
In the time since then I've just come to realise that this was a pointless product. It contains so much fragrance it actually irritates my skin even more so now. I hadn't used it in a while and sprayed some on today (I've left Fragrance skincare out of my routine for a while and my skins adapted to that) and my forehead which had the most product on, just immediately began warming up and reacting to the product and my skin was itchy there for a good half hour afterwards.
I feel like its a waste of money. I appreciate that Revolution skincare is an affordable brand and they strive to bring products for everyone to the table at a reasonable price point, which is admirable. But this essence spray massively misses the mark. There is too much fragrance which irritates the skin, so if you're sensitive AVOID.. and it offers little to nothing in terms of hydration.
If you are looking at this solely for hydration then you're best off spending your money on a serum, the brand does many serums at a great price point. Or failing that, £6 is better spent on The Ordinary'S hyaluronic acid serum which will give you the hydration you seek.

I am in my late 20's/early 30's with dry, light tone skin and blue eyes. My hair is medium brown, normal with normal texture.
I actually bought this to round-up an online order so I could get free shipping ! I wasn’t really sure what to expect but I’ve been pleasantly surprised.
This mist has a lot more longer lasting hydration than other facial mists I’ve tried. That must be due to the inclusion of the oils in the ingredients. It doesn’t leave my skin oily though - just nicely hydrated. The fragrance is artificial but it’s still quite nice and refreshing.
To be honest, I’m not sure what benefits this has on my skin other than for hydration - but it’s great for that and I’ll definitely buy it again.

I am in my late 40's/early 50's with combination, light tone skin and blue eyes. My hair is blonde, combination with normal texture.
This spray is good for problematic skin, it leaves a nice feeling on top of your makeup and is a good base.
I wouldnt say it's the best spray out there but it does its job and can help skin when needed.
