Century Flower Barrier Defence Mist

This mist is certainly not cheap and many would say a using a mist is a superflous step but it adds a touch of luxury to my Pai skincare routine that I wouldn’t now be without. I’m in my fifties and I love that Pai consistently delivers amazing skin-improving results but the company emphasis is on caring for skin without focussing their marketing or product names too much on ‘anti ageing’ - Thank you Pai, for recognising that we should be past that in the 21st Century. I use many Pai products and they all smell wonderful but this mist in particular just makes me feel like a princess. The natural scent of orange blossom that magically disappears after a split second, the satisfying action of the high quality pump bottle that doesn’t over dispense, the ‘slip’ that it provides after hot cloth cleansing, making the application of subsequent serums and creams much easier, all now make it an essential part of both my morning and evening skincare sessions. If you already use and love Pai and can afford to, give this mist a try, its a ‘pampering’ product for sure, but who can say that’s not worth something?

Amazing product, extremely refreshing and calming no breakouts since using this from October 2023.

I was expecting so much more with how expensive this was for a face must but I have used for a couple of days and my skin is now all red and blotchy and really dry, it doesn’t even feel hydrating when you use it which is what is disappointing, this was the only product I used differently over the last few days aswel!

I love it !!

This is quite nice. It did leave my skin feeling nice and refreshed. It hasn't caused any skin irritation and it doesn't have an artificial scent. This will probably be great for humid summer days.

It’s £10 in tk.maxx. It is my favourite toner. Love the way my skin feels after

The pai barrier spray has a beautiful scent that is powerful at the moment of spraying but quickly dissipates. I use three or four sprays twice a day following washing my face. I have used it without further hydrating products eg moisturising cream and have noticed that my skin is nicely hydrated. I was attracted to the idea that it reduces redness as I have some middle aged blotches 🙄. I would say after three weeks of using it that yes, there is an improvement but no, my redness has not gone. So a little bit less and my skin feels healthy. I think £39.99 is a lot to pay for a spray but at the same time I do not seem to have used a great deal of it in 3 weeks and so it will last a long time. It arrives packed in a strong one piece box held together by the power of origami! A clever piece of packaging and an environmentally friendly one. Open up the box to get more info (or look at my photos). I do think this is a good product and it is well presented and so would make a nice gift.

I couldn't find the instructions for use until I popped the box open to "learn more" where it tells me I can layer it under serums, moisturisers and oils for more hydration. Actually my skin is slightly oily so I don't go O.T.T. with hydrators. I seem to gain adequate hydration from this, plus normal moisturiser. Using this I'm currently cutting out my usual hyaluronic acid serum and separate allow vera based gel. I like how lightweight it is, because my skin gets easily clogged up and I dislike the feeling of thick products on my skin. It has a really lovely smell to it, slightly citrus while not being overpowering. I find it relaxing to use either morning or night. It seems to make my skin more matte (less oily) and perhaps does help redness as i've had some mild irritation on my upper cheeks which is maybe a little paler. It takes approx 2-3 sprays to cover my face, dries fairly quickly and works well under other products that I've used alongside it, whether that's creams, serums or mineral powder foundation. I find the price a little high, but at the same time, one factor when considering the price of cosmetics is whether I can cut out any other products in buying a single higher priced one. I may be able to with this, and the added bonus: less clutter!

Iiiii Looovvvvveee this!!! My inflamed eczema didn't but then it calmed down BUT my face and legs did (I have really dry skin on my legs and sometimes I have inflamed follicles so I needed to see if my legs were going to love it and they do)

This toner is highly refreshing and works great on the face. Usage : It sprays consistently and doesn't over sprays. Absorption: Works extremely well post washing the face and prior to moisturizing. It absorbs without any oily texture. Scent : Is pleasant and citrus. Lovely and is not noticeable. Great overall.

You'll get a very refreshing blast of moisturization with a spritz of this tonic. It's, more or less, a spray on toner that will start your skincare regimen with ensuring that your skin is hydrated and stays that way for hours on end. At first, it feels as though you've sprayed water on your face. Although, it will stay a little bit damp a bit longer than as if you did spray just water. Not a lot longer though, but it is best to let it fully set on its own time before moving onto the next layer of your skincare regimen. Feels soothing. If you touch your skin, it will feel ever so slightly as though you've sprayed a tiny bit of an oil based substance onto your face. It will fully absorb, so nothing to be concerned about. Refreshes the skin and conditions. Can also be used to give your face a little bit of refreshment throughout your day just as a pick me up. Especially enjoyable during the summer months when a hydrating mist is more appreciated. Good for all skin types and is just as good for men as it is for women.

This arrives in a super sturdy box. The box is fully sealed at the bottom (the only opening) and then the box hinges open. The presentation is one that is extremely professional, impressive, and hygenic. Super nice! The bottle feels nice in hand and the sprayer allows for a fine mist. It feels refreshing at first and then becomes very comforting. I used this after overusing my prescription retinoids. I wasn't sure if it would irritate my already irritated skin or help it ... but I was more than willing to try. This did not burn or sting my red skin. Instead, it felt very comfortable. And my skin just absorbed this and felt smooth and nourished. I was impressed with how effective this is! (My better-half even tried it on a spot of eczema on his forearm ... it helped!) This is totally amazing and I will always keep it on hand for when I overuse retinoids, over microneedle, etc. A really, really nice product!

I received the Pai Skincare - Century Flower: Lotus + Orange Blossom Soothing Tonic to evaluate and review. It arrived in excellent condition and was delivered by the promised date. This product is SO refreshing when lightly misted on my face and neck! It does not leave any kind of oily or unpleasant residue. I love the scent! I personally do not detect an orange blossom scent, but it reminds me of honeysuckle, which is so clean and pleasant. The scent does not last long, so I would imagine that it would not interfere with any other fragrance you might put on shortly afterward. It really does surprise me how much smoother my face feels as soon as this absorbs into my skin. It is very easy to do a "before" and "after" experiment and feel the difference for yourself. I also have sensitive skin with some products, but this felt wonderful and did not irritate my skin at all. This is a little more pricey than what I normally would spend for a facial tonic ($59.00 at the time of this review) but I cannot deny that it is very effective at soothing and smoothing my dry skin. If you are looking for a delightfully scented facial tonic that truly does soften and hydrate your skin, and if the price is not an issue for you, then I definitely recommend this. Four stars! I hope this review has been helpful!
