107 is quickly becoming one of my favorite brands. I love the opportunity to try old favorites or new finds every month through their Circle program. In May, I got the tried-and-true chaga cleanser and the new-to-me 107 Dewy Glow Serum Mist. Both are available on the official website (get a discount this month with code CircleMay15), Jolse, and Amazon.
The serum promises nourishment and hydration delivered via an easy-to-spray mist. The star ingredients are 7-year aged vinegar, rice ferment filtrate, soy milk ferment filtrate, and safflower extract. Let me stress that you would never know any of 107’s products contain vinegar without reading the ingredients list - the formulas are gentle and don’t smell or “feel” like traditional vinegar at all. Yet the skin still gets all the benefits of 17 amino acids and antioxidants.
How to use
Mist from an arm’s length distance over the face and neck
Can be applied during the day over sunscreen and makeup
I’m not a fan of using mists outside of my evening routine, so I just apply the 107 Dewy Glow Serum after toner and before moisturizer in the evenings. My combination skin doesn’t need a lot in the AM - vitamin C and sunscreen is typically enough.
The brand describes the scent as “fresh and fruity”, but I personally don’t notice much of a smell, even when holding my hands directly to my nose.
My impressions
I might be an odd duck, but I don’t like mist-style packaging in any brand. Even dispensed at arm’s length, the 107 Dewy Glow Serum Mist’s stream is pretty robust / forceful. Since I don’t use this over makeup, I prefer to spray it into my palm, making a little puddle, then apply with my hands the way I would any other serum or toner. This method will probably not work over makeup.
The mist format is the only thing I don’t totally love, but it’s also not a deal breaker. The serum is a newer addition to my evening routine, but first impressions are positive. I love the noticeable hydration without stickiness, and my skin does look more glowy overall. I’m excited to see what more it can do for me with longer term use. It’s worth noting that I recently had an allergic reaction to an unrelated product and had to pare down my routine to the very basics. Using 107 chaga cleanser and the Dewy Glow serum still allowed me to cleanser and hydrate, but didn’t cause any further irritation or hurt the allergic areas in any way. I love having effective products that can be used no matter what my skin is going through.
I would love to see this serum in a pump-style packaging but will happily keep using the bottle I have in the meantime.
