Double board certified cosmetic dermatologist Dr. Dendy Engelman is also a fan of the calming, hydrating mist, telling Page Six Style that it’s “very effective at soothing skin and helping prevent acne breakouts, with clinically proven results.”

Engelman added that it can be used for acne on the body and even as a disinfectant.
