StyleKorean X Ground Plan: 24Hour Secret Mist Review


I mist have it. 
Okay, jokes aside. I haven't heard about this brand, but after doing some research, I fell in love with their brand story.

About the 24 Hour Secret Mist
The 24 Hour Secret Mist was their first product and it rose to popularity, especially among moms. They sold over a million units in two years after it's the first launch. Mothers were praising it for helping babies with dermatitis. 


This mist contains 85% Witch Hazel Extract compared to other mists that have a high content of purified water. In fact, this mist doesn't contain purified water at all. Additionally, it includes other plant extracts, such as Centella Asiatica extract, Portulaca Oleracea extract and Morus Alba Bark extract. I've raved about the benefits of Centella Asiatica in many of my posts before, so I decided to do a little bit of research on the other notable ingredients.

Portulaca Oleracea Extract is excellent in relieving facial redness due to its anti-allergy properties. It is rich omega-3 fatty acids, which helps in anti-inflammation. Additionally, it has an abundance of anti-oxidants helping to fight against free radicals. 

Morus Alba Bark Extract has anti-oxidant properties. It is used in cosmetics to lighten the skin and help with uneven skin tone.

Ingredients:
Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Extract, Butylene Glycol, Dipropylene Glycol, Glycerin, Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate, Polyglyceryl-10 Myristate, Caprylyl Glycol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Illicium Verum (Anise) Fruit Extract, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil, Disodium EDTA, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Allantoin, Xylitol, Betaine, Centella Asiatica Extract, Portulaca Oleracea Extract, Morus Alba Bark Extract, Citric Acid

Thoughts
The first time I used this mist, which was straight after I received the package, it was quite foamy. That was perhaps a result of their delivery process; maybe it got shaken up quite a bit. The foaminess was gone in the subsequent use.

This mist definitely uses EWG safe products.

It has faint herbal scent, with subtle tones of lavender. It sprays evenly, and it feels gentle and refreshing on the skin. Mists are always great especially when the heat is unbearable (cough @ Singapore's Weather).

Apart from using it as a toner and a regular mist for dry and irritated skin, I read online that this mist is versatile - you can apply it on your hair and body as well. My hair felt dry after going swimming, which is usually the case for me every time I swim even though I try to prevent hair damage. Hence, I took the chance to try this mist on my hair. Instantly, my hair felt less dried out. I was amazed. It's been a few days since I tried out the mist on my hair and it managed to keep my hair from turning frizzy.


Excuse the bare and tired face
Overall:
I like this mist, and I think it is repurchase-worthy.
It's gentle on the skin, and I love the fact that it's safe to use even on babies. But, I love spraying this mist on my hair the most, especially since I was amazed at how my hair isn't dry and damaged despite going swimming so frequently. 

This mist is available in 3 different sizes (60ml, 120ml and 300ml). I'm not sure whether the three sizes will be available on Stylekorean's website. I'm currently using the 60ml bottle, which is small enough and convenient to carry around.

Thanks for reading.
