If you keep up with Alix Earle on TikTok (and honestly, who doesn’t?), you’ve likely taken notes on her favorite beauty products, from Pantene hair products to Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer. And while we’re all for her product recommendations, it’s the ones she doesn’t explicitly call out—the ones subtly making cameos in her makeup bag—that pique our curiosity even more. Case in point: the latest beauty essential she just casually revealed while traveling to Paris: Hydrinity Skin Science Hyacyn Active Purifying Mist ($60).
The face mist made an unexpected appearance while Earle gave followers a rundown of her snacks and “travel essential kit,” before taking off for Paris. If you’re unfamiliar with the brand, you’re not alone; Hydrinity Skin Science is a newer player in the skin-care game, having launched in 2022 with a science-backed approach to skin barrier repair. The brand’s formulas are designed to restore, heal and strengthen compromised skin, and this mist is no exception. It’s a hypochlorous acid spray, so it works to calm irritation, treat blemishes and support overall skin health.

Oh, and let’s not forget—the Hydrinity Hyacyn Active Purifying Mist is a NewBeauty Award Winner for 2024, taking the title of “best purifying face mist,” and securing a spot as an editor-approved essential. “I had never heard of hypochlorous acid until the pandemic—it was the spray everyone was using inside their masks to prevent maskne—and now it’s a staple in my routine,” said Britt Fallon, our director of beauty. Given Earle’s openness about her acne journey, it makes perfect sense that it’s landed a spot in her travel routine. Will it land in yours?
