Antioxidant Serum for Skin Defense Mist with Vitamin C, E & Ferulic Acid

Beauty Shortlist Awards Winner for Best Face Tonic.

  • Award-winning formula with synergistic antioxidant complex
  • Contains vitamin C, E, and ferulic acid for environmental defense
  • Balances oil production with Zinc PCA while hydrating
  • Can be applied throughout the day without disturbing makeup

Petrichor is an antioxidant serum for skin in a mist hybrid formula that provides environmental protection while delivering instant hydration and skin-soothing benefits. This formula combines a refreshing facial mist with concentrated active ingredients typically found in treatment serums. Its quality has earned recognition as the 2024 Beauty Shortlist Awards Winner for Best Face Tonic.

The mist features a synergistic blend of antioxidants that work together to neutralize free radicals. The combination of vitamin C (as magnesium ascorbyl phosphate), vitamin E, and ferulic acid creates an effective defensive system, as these ingredients enhance each other's stability and protective capacity. This antioxidant serum complex is supported by green tea extract and resveratrol, creating multiple layers of defense against environmental stressors.

Beyond protection, Petrichor supports skin health through carefully selected humectants and soothing agents. Zinc PCA balances oil production while providing natural moisturizing factor benefits, making it valuable for combination and blemish-prone skin. Aloe vera and propanediol provide immediate hydration and comfort, while witch hazel offers gentle purification without causing dryness. Olive leaf extract helps address oxidative stress and supports the skin's natural recovery processes.

The liquid serum formula is delivered through a fine mist spray for even distribution and easy application. With minimal essential oil content (0.03%), Petrichor provides a subtle sensorial experience with earthy green notes and a delicate floral undertone, suitable for those with fragrance sensitivities. The protective Miron glass packaging preserves the integrity of the active ingredients.

Using this Mist

Petrichor delivers an immediate sensorial refresh with its fine, enveloping mist that distributes evenly across the skin, leaving a dewy finish that absorbs quickly without any sticky residue or tightness. The subtle earthy-green aroma with delicate floral notes provides a brief moment of natural aromatherapy before dissipating, making it suitable for fragrance-sensitive individuals. Upon application, skin feels instantly hydrated, soothed, and plumped with a bouncy resilience that creates an ideal canvas for subsequent skincare steps or a midday refreshment that restores comfort without disturbing makeup.

Apply Petrichor after cleansing in your morning routine, misting generously onto face and neck to create a protective antioxidant shield before applying moisturizer and sunscreen. For enhanced hydration and barrier support, follow with a few drops of facial oil while skin is still damp from the mist, allowing the humectants in Petrichor to work synergistically with the emollients. Keep Petrichor on hand throughout the day for periodic reapplication—particularly in urban environments, air-conditioned spaces, or during air travel—to maintain antioxidant protection and skin comfort without compromising your makeup or sunscreen application.

Petrichor solves the common skincare dilemma of how to provide ongoing environmental protection and hydration throughout the day without disrupting makeup or requiring a complete routine restart. Unlike traditional toners that often prioritize astringent properties over hydration, or simple hydrating mists that lack protective benefits, Petrichor delivers clinically proven antioxidants in a format that's effortless to apply and reapply. The formula addresses multiple skin concerns simultaneously—protection, hydration, soothing, and balancing—eliminating the need for several single-function products. Whether you're facing urban pollution, dealing with indoor air quality issues, or simply seeking a multi-tasking product that maintains skin health during busy days, Petrichor provides comprehensive care in a single step.

Key Ingredients in PETRICHOR Antioxidant Serum Mist

Green Tea (Camellia sinensis) Extract

Harvested from the leaves of Camellia sinensis, green tea extract is brimming with potent antioxidants called catechins that help defend skin against environmental damage. This powerful botanical reduces redness and inflammation while helping to regulate sebum production—making it effective for both sensitive and oily skin types. The polyphenols in green tea extract work to neutralize harmful free radicals, supporting your skin's natural repair processes and helping to maintain a more youthful appearance over time.

Ferulic Acid

A powerful plant-derived antioxidant found naturally in the cell walls of grains, fruits, and coffee beans, ferulic acid is a skincare superhero that enhances the performance of your entire routine. This potent ingredient neutralizes free radicals that cause premature aging while stabilizing other antioxidants—making vitamins C and E up to 8 times more effective when used together. Ferulic acid helps protect your skin from environmental damage caused by UV radiation and pollution, preventing dark spots and maintaining collagen integrity. Beyond its protective qualities, it delivers anti-inflammatory benefits that help soothe irritation and redness. Regular use contributes to firmer, brighter skin with improved resilience against daily environmental stressors.

Resveratrol

Found in the skin of red grapes, berries, and other plants, resveratrol is a potent antioxidant that helps defend your skin against environmental damage. This remarkable compound is produced by plants as a protective response to stress—and it offers similar protection for your skin. Resveratrol neutralizes harmful free radicals that accelerate aging while supporting your skin's natural renewal process. Its unique ability to calm inflammation helps reduce redness and irritation, making it suitable for sensitive complexions. Studies suggest resveratrol may help boost collagen production and improve skin elasticity over time. This powerhouse ingredient works on multiple fronts to help maintain a smoother, firmer, and more even-toned complexion that better resists the visible effects of stress and aging.

My New Love

I can’t remember why I had the impression that Petrachor would not be for me. Everything else I’ve ordered from Stark makes my skin sing. But, somehow I got the impression this one was for skin oilier than mine. Fortunately, Jess kindly responded to me with the information that Petrachor would actually be great for my dry, mature skin; I trust her, so I tried it. Heaven in a bottle! I love it so much. Gorgeous fragrance and wonderful support for my skin. Another happy addition to my routine. :heart:️
