I bought Sioris Time Is Running Out Mist mostly to laugh at the name. Joke’s on me — it’s actually a hydration trap.
It feels wet, yes. But wet doesn’t mean hydrated. I realized mine was evaporating and taking my natural moisture with it. Like a reverse humidifier.
It’s a “time-setting mist” — $28 for 100ml. The claim is it locks in your routine and preps skin for makeup. I wanted to believe.
Mist nozzle
Fine but uneven — you get random fat droplets on your nose.
Absorption time
Fast-ish, 20 seconds. But that’s because most of it disappears into the air.
Scent
Smells like a salad. Very fresh. Not a bad thing unless you hate arugula.

The formula has actual good stuff tucked in there. It’s just buried under too much water. The star is a fermented complex that should calm redness — if it sticks around long enough.
- Yuja extract: brightening but not the star here
- Hyaluronic acid: low molecular weight, actually sinks in
- Glycerin: the real MVP for moisture retention
- Meadowfoam seed oil: seals it — but barely present

First spray: fine, light, disappears. You think “ah, refreshing!” and move on. But after two weeks, my cheeks felt tight by noon. That’s the saboteur — you don’t notice because it feels nice going on.
Week three I stopped using it as a standalone. Total game-ender. But paired with a thicker moisturizer underneath? Suddenly it works. The mist needs something to grab onto.

My skin looked more even — the yuja extract does give a nice glow. But the hydration? Only if I layered it. Alone, it’s a liar.
It’s not a bad mist. It’s just overhyped for hydration. Treat it like a finishing spray, not a savior — and you’ll get along fine.
