Nice product, but other than the name everything is written in Korean. Subtle scent.
This is a spray-type skin serum, and it's quite thin. It's more like water (in consistency), than an oil. It's nicely packaged, and the bottle itself is a very attractive frosted glass. Good pump spray head, with no aerosol propellants. The product appears to be very environmentally conscious, and hails from Korea. The product goes on your skin quite wet, and it takes a while to be fully absorbed in the skin. Once absorbed the skin feels moisturized, a bit tacky to the touch, and completely free of any oily or greasy residue. There is virtually no scent to the product, or perhaps it's more accurate to say that there is... but it's super subtle. Nice scent, but not overwhelming, in any sense. My only issue with this product is that other than the name printed on both the box and bottle, everything written is in Korean. To me (at least) this makes little sense if you wish to present a product into the English-speaking US market. It's a very nice product, with good ingredients (according to their listing page), which include poly-peptides and jojoba. It's unfortunate that both bottle and box do not reflect the ingredients, which appear to be high-quality, in English. That would also be a good way to specify directions for use.

Nice ingredients but not for me
I have had other products from this brand that I enjoyed using, so with that in mind I ordered this Aqua Cica Hamel Pure Shot Serum by Hamel Seoul. First off, I love misting sprays in skincare because they can be used anytime of the day, anywhere, for a refreshing spritz of hydration. This spray contains lots of excellent ingredients to calm, hydrate, moisturize, repair and reinforce the skins moisture barrier. Most of the ingredients you will have heard of - glycerin, niacinamide, sodium hyaluronate, betaine, centella, beta glucan and adenosine - they all are excellent skin helpers. And still my enthusiasm is tentative at best. That is because the very first ingredient listed is witch hazel, an astringent. Witch hazel is an antioxidant, antibacterial, antimicrobial ingredient that is supposed to be good for soothing, regulating sebum production, promoting healing, reducing swelling, tightening pores and protecting against pollutants. It is thought to be excellent for those who suffer from oily skin and breakouts since it can reduce redness and soothe irritation. Rosacea causes redness and yet witch hazel is a known trigger for rosacea. It's a bit confusing why it is good for breakouts yet bad for rosacea, but there you have it. Since I suffer from rosacea I cannot use this product. I also have very dry, sensitive skin, so using a drying astringent does not align well with my skin care goals. I think this Serum is formulated for those with younger, normal to oily skin rather than those with dry, sensitive, rosacea reddened complexions. Still, it is an excellent formulation for those not suffering from rosacea and it is also a very clean formula. There are no parabens, phthalates, silicones, PEGs, or even added fragrance in this serum, which makes it a really nice clean and green product. Currently this Serum is selling for $19.40 for a 3.38 oz bottle. That is a great deal for all the lovely skin friendly ingredients in it, and it will be excellent to use for a large segment of the population. Recommended Made in Korea

Love this stuff
Can you tell by the picture and how much is left that I love this spray?!!? This is definitely my favorite product to put on my face every day and night. The spray is such a fine mist and it feels so cooling and relaxing when it hits your face! I even find myself spraying it on in the middle of the day when I get hot or need a quick pick me up. It's amazing! The scent is subtle, but smells really good. And after using almost the whole bottle, I can definitely see a difference in my skin. It feels a lot softer, the tone is more even, and my laugh lines have gotten better too! I know that I will be running out pretty soon, and I will definitely be getting more because I love this stuff!! I've even been using it on my hands too. Excellent stuff!!

Ultra fine mist adds moisture and other benefits
I love the simplicity of being able to spray this serum on my face-- it's efficient and feels boujie at the same time. Make sure to shake well before spraying as the ingredients do separate from each other. It has a delicate floral scent that only lasts as long as it's in the air and then it quickly dissipates, which is great for my sensitive nose. The mist is super fine, and I find myself spraying it about 5 or 6 times on my face to feel like I'm getting enough product to settle on my skin, and once there it soaks in within seconds. I use this in my evening routine because it contains a little bit of oil and my skin is already pretty oily. It doesn't leave an oily feeling, but I'd rather use it at night just to be sure that my makeup doesn't have any extra 'help' in sliding off my face. If I'm not wearing any makeup, I find myself giving my face a few spritzes throughout the day because it's convenient to do so, and I just feel so fabulous when I do. I haven't had any negative/allergic/sensitivity reactions to it yet, but I haven't had it for more than a week, so it's still too early to know if it might end up encouraging my pores to clog (so many products do this to my skin) -- I will update my review if I start to notice anything. So far, I love the easy, light layer of moisture this serum provides, and my skin looks fresh and moisturized every morning (I use other moisturizers in addition to this one for my nightly routine, but this one makes for an amazing base layer) or throughout the day if I'm not wearing any makeup.

Interesting spray.
It sprays nicely on my face and at first I feel a little hydrated but as soon as it's absorbed into my skin, I feel I still need to add moisturizer, but it did plump up my dry lines, so it does work. I did have to go back to the site for instructions since nothing on the box is in English, but only the ingredients.

Nice vegan mist serum.
This Vegan Double Shot 12GF Core Glow Mist Serum is not only vegan, but it is cruelty free and compromised of all clean ingredients. This glow mist serum works great for any time of the day, as you simply mist your face and instantly feel a sense of hydration. Along with this, this serum also works to improve your skin's brilliance, while also helping to reduce wrinkles, including fine lines and crows feet. This serum is made with 12 different peptides, white jelly mushroom extract, witch hazel extract and jojoba seed oil. Each ingredient is incorporated with a purpose... whether it's to replicate collagen, sooth the skin, or work to improve your skin's elasticity. Overall, this is a nice product to have on hand, and the price point is reasonable. It is definitely a product worth looking into.

Refreshing and rehydrates skin
First time trying out this brand and so far I like it! I'm not usually a fan of HA or witch hazel products because they can feel sticky or weirdly drying but this a total 180. It's hydrating, refreshing and light that it absorbs well into my skin without any tackiness. It plumps my skin and creates a nice hydrating layer before I reapply my sunscreen midday. The best part is it doesn't make me overly oily or shiny and I think it's actually helping with controlling my oils and giving my skin the hydration it wants. Without a doubt I'm going to keep this in my routine and might even get a second for summertime.

Very refreshing, but English translation would be nice
Everything except the name is written in Korean, which makes perfect sense for the Korean market, but they could have at least included a sheet of paper inside the box that offered English translations for everything if they intended to market it in the United States. It's a fine mist, very refreshing, and I have found it to be oddly addicting as well. Giving myself a spritz (or two or four) of this makes me smile every single time I do it. The scent is very light and subtle in a way I really like and the syrum settles onto my face in a light, slightly tacky feeling layer that is refreshing, cooling, and moisturizing. Sometimes I do it just for that little bit of a pick-me-up. The bottle is of a good size, so it is lasting me quite well even though I do keep it a bit too conveniently located. My aging skin seems to like it as much as I enjoy using it. I even quite enjoy shaking the bottle before use to be certain it's all mixed. It would be a lot easier to justify a repeat purchase if there was anything provided in English with the product itself even if it was just a list of the ingredients though.

Smells a little but works!
I like this spray serum! The sprayer is very important to me with any kind of spray skincare and this has a very fine mister. Covers my whole face in two or three sprays which is ideal. The serum makes my skin feel and look calmer. It feels lightweight on my face and still seems to hydrate nicely. I have been using it in the morning and at night and I haven’t seen any irritation from it. There’s a slight scent to it that goes away very quickly, it shouldn’t be an issue for most.

Very nice serum
This spray contains two of my favorite ingredients - Witch hazel and Hyaluronic Acid. It is extremely gentle and soothing, very hydrating. This serum very easy to use, I tried it two way: spraying and patting, and spraying on my hands and patting. It works well both way. I really appreciate that it doesn't contain any harmful ingredients.

Good for your skin ingredients delivered in a fine mist.
This calming mist serum is great because it is probably one of the finer mists I have seen. The bottle really delivers such a nice and fine mist that you don't feel drenched or over misted. There is also a barely there scent so those who are sensitive to smells will have no issue with this. It leaves a nice layer of moisturizing serum on your skin that you can either let dry on its own or you can gently pat it in. I tend to do both, depending on the activity. I am always thrilled when I can recognize all the ingredients in skincare products because for a lot of the commercially popular ones, that is not the case. These good for your skin ingredients did not irritate my skin and I have dry and sensitive skin that has occasional eczema patches if I use irritating products that are not natural. This mist serum not only did not irritate my skin, it was quite soothing. I applied it right after cleansing my skin and it felt lovely and hydrated even hours later. I was able to layer serums on top of it with no issue or pilling as well. This has found a place in my skincare...especially for those really cold and dry days or the heavily sweating days.

My face gets dry during the winter but I don't like having to reapply lotion. This works great for moisturizing my face throughout the day. It feels nice on the skin and hydrates it without leaving any greasy residue. Although my face is prone to breakouts occasionally, especially when I am stressed, I haven't had any issues with this.

I'm in awe of how this mist serum works, at least for my skin. It gives it a nice hydrating boost while keeping the oil at bay. Usually, it's one or the other for me! This one does both. I love the ingredients: witch hazel (which is what keeps the oil away) and hyaluronic acid. They are simple ingredients with no artificial colors or scents. And this one is actually a fine mist, too!

Hydration all day
The calming mist serum from Hamel is probably one of my favorite mist right now. Not only does the calming mist keeps my skin moist throughout the day, but the mister itself is so light that it doesn't feel blotchy when I'm spraying it on my face. Since I have dryer skin, this has come in really handy during the winter months, since I'm able to spray this throughout the day. It's lightweight and doesn't feel like I have anything on after it dries. It is a little expensive, but worth getting again.

Convenient, quick and refreshing relief and hydration!
I am a 42 year old skincare junkie with combo sensitive skin that I am obsessed with keeping as youthful and healthy looking as possible. I picked up this serum because I liked the clean (and beneficial) formula. I also thought it would be great as a little pick-me-up for my skin throughout the day. The product comes in a pump bottle that sprays out a super fine mist of formula. It is quite a generous amount per pump, but because of the fine mist, I can spray this right over a face of makeup and not disrupt or disturb it at all. The formula is SUPER calming, incredibly refreshing and it definitely delivers on hydration! There is no added scent or fragrance, but the witch hazel does have a light, fresh and natural scent on it's own, which is prevalent in this formula. This has been a total skin saver for me this winter as the cold air outside plus the warm, dry heat inside sucks the life out of my skin. I keep this with me all the time now when I leave the house and when my skin starts to feel dry, or if something is aggravating my skin, I just do a few quick sprays and my skin instantly feels better. It's actually easy to get addicted to this, which I totally have.

Light, calming mist
This calming mist serum is very light weight. It comes out of the bottle as a fine mist that covers a large area. I got my whole face in 3 pumps. I almost don't feel the mist landing on my face at all, it is so light. There is a slight dampness and a soothing sensation. The bottle comes in a sealed box so you know it hasn't been tampered with if the seal is in tact. The bottle is plastic so it doesn't run the risk of shattering in the mail that glass does. I really like the way this mist serum feels on my skin. It is soothing and cooling.

Beautiful mist
This mist serum does a wonderful job of brightening up my skin while giving it a softer appearance. My skin has a velvety-soft touch with a smooth appearance as this serum forms an elastic barrier on my skin giving it that effect. This product is made of gentle ingredients that doesn’t cause irritations for my skin or leaving any over powering scent behind. The rich texture of this serum helped it absorbed into my skin quickly to give it instant soothing and relief. The sprayer produces a fine mist that absorbed quickly into my skin without leaving any big wet spots.

Gentle, Light, and Skin-Loving
This HAMEL spray serum is a great little multitasker—light, hydrating, and soothing, especially if your skin is feeling irritated or dry. The formula has 86% witch hazel extract and 10,000ppm hyaluronic acid, which means it gives a good mix of calming and moisture without feeling heavy or sticky. The mist is super fine and covers the whole face easily, which makes it perfect for a mid-day refresh or post-cleansing toner step. I really appreciate that it’s EWG green grade, cruelty-free, and vegan, with no harsh ingredients—definitely a safe bet for sensitive skin. Also love the thoughtful, nature-inspired packaging and the brand’s self-love and sustainability message. It’s a quiet but solid product—not flashy, just calming and effective.

Unique Product
This spray is very fine and light. I expected it to feel oilier than it does. I wasn’t super sure what the best way to use it was because I would use serums at different times than I would use facial sprays usually and there were no instructions (at least in English) on when exactly you are supposed to use this product in your skincare routine. I would say this feels less heavy duty than a typical serum, but I think it a good way to refresh my face throughout the day in dry winters.

I like that this comes in a spray bottle, it’s a very light fine mist and it’s so easy to apply. My skin is definitely on the drier side, even more so in the cold months. While this serum is nice, I do find it a bit too drying for me (probably because of the witch hazel). I still need to apply a moisturizer with it. Probably more geared towards those with oily skin.

Really fine mist
The spray nozzle is exactly what I would expect from a facial mist. this actually provides a mist and not multiple dots and streams of liquid! It is a little more shimmery than I prefer but not overwhelming. It has a very light mild scent, which is really nice. I was also very impressed with how quickly it dried. It did not leave any oily or greasy residue on my skin, which I really liked because some multifunctional serums and mists tend to be heavy and leave a greasy residue.

Smells good, very moisturizing
I have enjoyed this mist serum. It smells good, very lightly fragranced. The moisture that the jojoba gives is light and absorbs quickly without feeling greasy. The mist sprays wide over my face and a lot will end on my shirt, so I tend to use it right out of the shower or I'll spray it into my hand and pat it on my face. If you get this, make sure to shake it first, the separation in the ingredients is visible and a good reminder. I would say it's a great moisturizer!
