14 women review the game-changing ceramide mist that strengthens your skin barrier.

You've likely noticed that, seemingly overnight, the skinfluencers you follow are giving plenty of airtime to skincare that strengthens your skin barrier. 

And for good reason. Unlike previously, when we might not have had the disposable beauty dollars, time or bandwidth to understand what our skin actually needs (and would rely on makeup to cover our complexion), many of us (yes, hi, me) are now finally taking the sweet time to read up, listen to beauty podcasts and understand how to repair our skin rather than just... well, mask it.

Keeping water within your skin is basically your skin barrier's number one role, and it's the key that unlocks plump, bouncy, dewy, and overall healthy, happy skin.

It's the ol' chestnut — "maintaining a strong skin barrier" — that helps to slow down transepidermal water loss (ie. basically, keeping the good stuff in) and protect the skin and body from physical toxins like pollution and chemicals (ie. keeping the bad stuff out).

Now, good beauty gals don't gatekeep products that are said to really work.

All eyes are on Dr LeWinn's Hydrating Ceramide Mist right now — a mist that's supercharged with ceramides, hyaluronic acid, collagen-stimulating tripeptide-8 and provitamin B5 to give instant hydration and refreshment, while protecting the skin barrier, for soft and glowy skin.

In case you haven't heard of Dr LeWinn's (my friend, where have you been?), it's an Australian made and owned cosmeceutical skincare brand known for their clinically-proven formulations and science-back ethos. 

Their Hydrating Ceramide Mist is dermatologically tested, and in a clinical study was proven to increase skin hydration by 79 per cent after one use. 

With only one way to test it for ourselves, we sent the Hydrating Ceramide Mist home with 50 of our You Beauty Panellists so that they could give us their real insights after testing over four weeks.

Wanna know what they said? Twist my arm.

93 per cent of them said the mist made their skin feel hydrated, with 76 per cent of them giving it a 4-star review or above. 76 per cent also said they'd recommend it on, and 60 per cent confirmed they'll absolutely be adding it to cart.

Here are some of our Panellists' most pervy reviews. 

Listen: You Beauty's Kee and Lucy share the best ways to coax your skin back to its happy place. Post continues below.

Michelle, 53: "My skin feels soft and hydrated."

"I was two days post-skin cancer removal surgery when this arrived. The spray was perfect, light and refreshing without the need to pat or rub anything in. My skin feels soft and hydrated. Looking forward to continue using once post op swelling goes down. I'd purchase this product again, and rate it full marks!"

Jade, 31: "Feels so luxurious."

"The hydrating ceramide mist feels so luxurious on the skin. It doesn’t have an overbearing smell and is great for sensitive skin. I saw a big difference in my skin in the morning after using it at night. It made my skin feel smooth and glass-like. I would highly recommend this product. It is such a simple product to be added into the skincare routine and compliments other products. It has been perfect for a little pick-me-up during the day and when up doing night-feeds for the little ones."

Sarah, 44: "This mist is a stellar product."

"As a 40-something with ageing ‘normal’ skin, I'm starting to find the occasional dry patch around my nose and pigmentation. Right off the bat, I was pleasantly surprised by the ease of use — a quick spritz and I had three skincare ingredients. No more fumbling with droppers or multiple bottles, making my skincare routine a breeze. While there was a hint of tackiness upon initial application, the product absorbed swiftly, allowing for seamless layering of sunscreen and makeup. 

"In two weeks of twice daily consistent use of the Dr LeWinn’s Hydrating Ceramide Mist, I watched as the fine lines around my eyes looked softened, my skin tone evened out a little as did the texture, and my décolletage wrinkles appeared faded almost into oblivion (I am a side sleeper IYKYK). In the past few days I have felt confident enough to swap my full-coverage foundation for a lighter, medium-coverage alternative. This mist is a stellar product. So if you're a time-poor individual or someone who struggles to maintain a consistent skincare routine, I wholeheartedly recommend the Dr LeWinn’s Hydrating Ceramide Mist. It's the perfect blend of efficiency and effectiveness."

Stephanie, 30: "The mist was great and hydrating on the plane."

"I think the product was very fun to add into my routine. I definitely liked the overall look and feel of the product, and I also travelled a lot while time testing the product, where the mist was great and hydrating on the plane. It made me feel as though I was doing something good for my skin."

Jessica, 40: "Your skin is left hydrated and glowing."

"The product is really hydrating — much more than your average face mist. It's great for use throughout the day to add extra hydration and nourishment without ruining your makeup. Once it dries down, your skin is left hydrated and glowing!"

Nikki, 39: "Sat nicely under makeup."

"I really liked this product. The fragrance was not too strong and my skin does feel hydrated. I used it in replacement of my hyaluronic acid serum and it stood up to it. I have sensitive skin and it was not irritating in any way. Under makeup, it sat nicely, too."

Prue, 40: "A great skin prep step."

"I love a mist and I really liked how this felt on my skin, I'd buy it again for sure. It helped it feel hydrated and was a great skin prep step."

Annie, 41: "It made my skin feel stronger and more plump-looking."

"This Hydrating Ceramide Mist gave my skin lots of moisture without feeling heavy, and it made my skin feel stronger and more plump-looking. The bottle was easy to carry with me, great for short trips. This mist is fine and sprays easily for quick hydration and absorption. I would repurchase this product again, and I'd definitely recommend it."

Jesseca, 38: "It really nourished and protected my skin."

"I would recommend this product and buy again, it's great! I really enjoyed using this product. I found that it really nourished and protected my skin. My skin felt hydrated after use." 

Anastasia, 29: "Worked well with my dry skin."

"I’ve really enjoyed using this product — it feels lightweight on the skin, very refreshing and nicely hydrating. I’ve been using it morning and night, and it has worked well with my dry skin, and played well with my other skincare serums and moisturiser. It has a beautiful light scent, too. I'd buy it again."

Nicole, 29: "Wonderful for sensitive skin."

"Dr LeWinn’s Hydrating Ceramide Mist feels wonderful on my skin! Despite having sensitive skin, I was pleasantly surprised that I didn't experience any reactions to this product, despite its noticeable scent. Instead, it left my skin feeling very hydrated and glowing. Overall, it's a wonderful product that I’d recommend, especially if you have dry skin."

Erin, 30: "Love that it's full of ceramides."

"I really enjoyed trialling Dr LeWinn’s Hydrating Ceramide Mist. With the change of seasons, my skin typically goes drier and I've really loved being able to apply this spray throughout day. My skin is definitely feeling more hydrated after use and love that it's full of ceramides and hyaluronic acid. There is a bit of fragrance but it's not overpowering. I would definitely repurchase!"

Caitlin, 28: "Feels like a silky veil of heaven on the skin."

"I love a mist and Dr LeWinn's has formulated something exceptional here with the Hydrating Ceramide Mist. The product feels like a silky veil of heaven on the skin, makes my skin feel protected, and doesn’t leave greasy residue (just a healthy glow)."

Leah, 45: "My skin felt softer and plumper."

"The product felt lovely and light on the skin. After use, my skin felt softer and plumper. It worked well under (and over) makeup, and didn't affect the look (no pilling). The overall look and feel of the product is great, I'd buy again."
