Elemis
Pro-Collagen Toning Mist
An ultra-lightweight toner mist with gluconolactone, Padina pavonica and marine biotech ferment for post-cleanse skin prep.
What it is
ELEMIS describes this as an ultra-lightweight toner mist and a post-cleanse step intended to prep, replenish and refine the skin. The brand says its texture forms a lightweight veil and provides an instantly refreshing sensation.
Key ingredients
- Marine biotech ferment: ELEMIS says it helps rebalance sebum and reduce the appearance of pores.
- Padina pavonica: The brand describes this brown macroalgae as rich in antioxidants and supportive of skin hydration.
- Gluconolactone: ELEMIS identifies this polyhydroxy acid (PHA) as promoting healthy skin turnover.
How to use
Use after cleansing, morning and evening. Spray onto a cotton pad and sweep over the face and neck, or close your eyes and mist the face two to three times.
Who should be careful
The formula lists fragrance (parfum), linalool, citronellol, limonene and geraniol. It also contains gluconolactone, which ELEMIS identifies as an exfoliating PHA. Those avoiding fragrance or exfoliating acids may want to review the full ingredient list. This is general product information, not medical advice.
What the brand claims
ELEMIS describes the mist as clinically tested to prep, replenish and refine; its product-page image attributes the clinical result to a 2024 trial of 39 people and illustrates results between day 1 and day 7. The page also reports 2024 independent user trials with 120 people: 99% agreed it was a suitable prep for the rest of their routine, 98% agreed skin felt replenished and 100% agreed it felt gentle. These are brand-reported findings, not our findings.
