Farmstay 76 Green Tea Calming Facial Mist

This is a multi-use hydrating mist designed for three distinct moments: as a toner step after cleansing (spray and pat in before serum), as a midday refresh over or under makeup, and as a setting mist after makeup application. The formula delivers hydration via a triple hyaluronic acid complex — Hyaluronic Acid, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, and Sodium Hyaluronate — which collectively attract and bind moisture at different skin depths. Allantoin calms and smooths, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate (licorice derivative) soothes redness and mild inflammation, and the green tea extract provides antioxidant protection. Shake before use, hold 20cm from your face, spray with eyes closed.

No — and this is worth clarifying before purchase. The "76" refers to the Farmstay product line name, not a 76% concentration of green tea. The Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract in this Mist is listed at 2ppm, which is a trace supporting concentration rather than a primary active. The version with a genuinely high green tea concentration is the Farmstay 76% Green Tea Calming Facial Serum, where Camellia Sinensis Leaf Water at 76% is the base. If you're buying specifically for a high-potency green tea formula, the Serum is the correct product. The Mist's primary actives are the triple hyaluronic acid complex and Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate — green tea is a supporting antioxidant here, not the hero.

The formula contains three forms of hyaluronic acid — standard Hyaluronic Acid (high molecular weight, works on the surface), Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid (smaller fragments that penetrate more deeply), and Sodium Hyaluronate (the salt form, highly stable and effective at drawing water into skin). Each works at a different skin depth, which means the hydration delivered is layered rather than superficial. A standard single-hyaluronic acid mist provides surface-level moisture that can evaporate quickly; the triple complex creates more sustained hydration because different molecular weights are addressing different layers simultaneously. This is the formula's most substantive functional claim.

It's worth noting transparently. Alcohol Denat (denatured alcohol) appears fourth in the ingredient list, indicating a meaningful concentration. In a mist format alcohol serves two functions: it creates the fast-evaporating, refreshing sensation on contact and helps the formula spray as a fine mist rather than a heavy droplet. The concern is that at significant concentrations, alcohol can disrupt the skin barrier and cause dryness over time — a particular issue for dry or compromised skin with regular daily use. For oily or normal skin, the concentration here is unlikely to cause problems with moderate use. For dry or sensitive skin, use the mist sparingly — once daily rather than multiple times — and always follow with a moisturiser to counteract any drying effect. It is not an alcohol-free formula.

Yes — and this is one of the mist's most practical use cases. The formula is designed for over-makeup application: the fine spray doesn't disturb foundation or powder, the humectants add a dewy freshness to skin that's dried out under air conditioning or during a long day, and the mist dries quickly without causing pilling or patchiness. Spray from 20cm distance with eyes closed, let it settle for 10–15 seconds, then gently press (don't rub) any excess into skin. The silicone emollients (Dimethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane) also provide a slight smoothing effect that can help makeup sit better on the skin surface after reapplication.

The key comparison point is green tea concentration. Benton Deep Green Tea Serum and Innisfree Green Tea Seed Hyaluronic Serum both use green tea as a genuinely high-concentration base — Benton at 80% green tea water, Innisfree at 80% green tea seed serum. Farmstay's Mist uses green tea at 2ppm, which is cosmetically present but not functionally equivalent. Where Farmstay competes is the triple hyaluronic acid system — that level of HA layering is unusual at this price point — and the convenience of the mist format for on-the-go use. If antioxidant protection from green tea is the primary goal, Benton or Innisfree deliver more of it. If convenient, multi-use hydration in a travel-friendly mist format at an accessible price is the goal, Farmstay is a strong option.

The 120ml size exceeds the 100ml limit for carry-on liquids in most international aviation regulations, including those governing EU and Georgian airport security. It cannot go in your hand luggage on most flights — it needs to be checked. For travel use specifically, Farmstay produces smaller sizes of products in its range, so check whether a travel size is available through your supplier. For daily desk or handbag use in Tbilisi and Batumi, 120ml is a practical size that provides good value per use at the product's price point.
