Pair this mini Tremella Tonic Activating Essence Mist with your gua sha starter kit for a complete 3 step ritual. Use Tremella Tonic Activating Essence Mist as the first step to enhance nutrient penetration, support the skin microbiome, provide long lasting hydration, and maximize the effectiveness of your skincare products. This mini sample is 15 ml. Find the full size product here.

What It Is
Activate the skin with a plumping tonic of traditional Chinese beauty superfoods. Tremella mushroom is boosted with hyaluronic acid for long-lasting and deep-penetrating hydration while fermented black tea enhances the skin’s ability to absorb nutrients. Use this essence on its own when your skin craves a burst of hydration, or at the start of your skincare routine to supercharge your beauty ritual for soft, hydrated, dewy skin.

Pair Tremella Tonic Activating Mist with Mount Lai’s nutrient-rich Serum Concentrate or non-comedogenic Facial Oils to maximize their absorption and effectiveness.

What It Does

A deep-penetrating activating essence mist that:
  • Draws and locks moisture into the skin
  • Enhances nutrient absorption
  • Smooths and plumps the skin
  • Supports the skin microbiome with enriching postbiotics
  • Helps other skincare products work better

Who It Is For
Beneficial for all skin types.

How to use:
Shake before use for best results. Hold 12 inches away from the face and press down firmly and confidently to gently mist, enveloping the skin in a dewy cover of hydration. You may also mist directly onto a facial round or into the palms to apply to the skin. Once applied, gently pat the essence into the skin.

Use before serums, moisturizers, face oils or balms as an activating essence. Use throughout the day as a plumping radiance mist whenever the skin craves a boost of hydration.

Mini Tremella tonic

I’m still not sure the purpose of a toner, but this is very nice and feels very clean. It hasn’t caused any irritation either which is always a good sign to me!

Essential skin care item!

I use this with my skin care routine every night and I love it so much. The scent is so amazing, it really soothes me before I go to bed. It really is as hydrating as it claim! 10/10 would recommend!

This spritzer feels good on your face. I keep this in my fridge and when I spray it on, that cool mist makes me feel as if I’m in a spa. I love Mount Lai products!

Amazing Hydration

I ordered the Mini needing something for travel, but it has not left my counter. It's so good.
Was being super lazy in my nighttime routine and only used the mist after a quick cleanse and the hydration was amazing.

Got this for a trial, will now be an essential

I generally am of the philosophy that less is more when it comes to my skincare, so I was skeptical when I tried this out. I now love it and can’t imagine going without. I use it as a step in my gua sha routine and also just to freshen up when I’m on the go. A few spritzes does wonders. I can feel my skin soak up the mist and within 30 seconds, the dullness is replaced with a dewy, hydrated sheen.

Love this new addition to my skincare routine

I really love this mist. It does make my skin hydrated and plump. I found the scent to be very calming. My skin is sensitive, and it's hard for me to find new products that won't cause a reaction. This worked for me.

I’ve never used an essence before so I got the mini size to try it out and I will definitely be buying the full size soon!
First, it smells HEAVENLY!
Second, it feels so nice on the skin!
Last, it has become a permanent essential staple in my routine!

THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE RITUAL

Why It Works

Mount Lai tools are designed to work on the lymphatic system, address adhesions in the fascia and melt tension in the facial and jaw muscles, promoting a radiant complexion + combatting fine lines and wrinkles.

01 / Why is lymphatic drainage important? The lymphatic system is a part of the immune system that helps the body get rid of toxins and waste. ...

02 / The benefits of lymphatic drainage are two-fold. Lymphatic drainage removes toxic and congestive substances from the tissues, which allows greater absorption of nutrients. ...

03 / Why is using a tool better than using your hands? The beauty of Mount Lai tools is that they work on the skin without pulling. As a result, the tool is able to work on the very surface level of the skin to target the lymph system and fascia that you wouldn’t be able to target with your hands. ...
