Review

Results you may expect from using jane iredale Balance Hydration Spray:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using jane iredale Balance Hydration Spray:

  • Moderate moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 5.0 out of 10.
  • Soothing: jane iredale Balance Hydration Spray contains a high concentration of soothing ingredients, which may help to reduce irritation and calm the skin.
  • Antioxidant protection.

How moisturizing is it?

Quite moisturizing: jane iredale Balance Hydration Spray has a moisturizing rating of 5.0 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? It is purely humectant. It has zero occlusivity (we didn't find any occlusive ingredients on the ingredient list) and a maximum humectancy of 10 out of 10, due to the high content of Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice Powder (est. ≈6.0%), Laminaria Digitata Extract (est. ≈3.1%) and Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract (est. ≈3.0%).

Tip: Studies suggest that humectants alone do not moisturize the skin. We recommend applying a product with some occlusive ingredients after the use of this one.

Please refer to the Ratings section below for details of the moisturizing rating calculation.

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, jane iredale Balance Hydration Spray has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains Olea Europaea (Olive) Leaf Extract and Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, two ingredients marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles. However, the studies supporting the anti-wrinkle claims of these ingredients provide insufficient evidence of efficacy according to CreamScan Research Evaluation Standards. Therefore, these ingredients do not generate the anti-wrinkle rating.

Moisturizers, when used regularly, are proven to prevent wrinkle formation and even reduce existing wrinkles. Therefore, this product, like any other moisturizer, could deliver some anti-wrinkle effects through its moisturizing action.

Please refer to the Ratings section below for details of the anti-wrinkle rating calculation.

Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that jane iredale Balance Hydration Spray is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Citrus Grandis (Grapefruit) Peel Extract (est. ≈4.0%), Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract (est. ≈3.4%), Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract (est. ≈3.3%), and others.

A key benefit of antioxidants is their ability to reduce oxidative stress caused by free radicals and therefore prevent accelerated skin aging. Studies also show that antioxidants can protect against environmental damage such as UV radiation and pollution, and help reduce inflammation and skin redness.

Skin soothing

Based on the ingredient list analysis, jane iredale Balance Hydration Spray is rich (> 5%) in soothing ingredients, particularly Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice Powder (est. ≈6.0%), Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract (est. ≈3.4%), Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract (est. ≈3.3%), and others.

When applied to the skin, compounds of soothing ingredients, such as triglycerides, phospholipids, fatty acids, phenolic compounds, and antioxidants, work together to soothe the skin through various mechanisms: reducing inflammation, promoting wound healing, repairing the skin barrier, and providing antimicrobial and antioxidant activities.
