Recently, though, Kosas merged the two categories and created its Plump + Juicy Vegan Collagen Spray-On Serum (the first traditional skin care launch from the beloved makeup brand!), and I never thought a spray-on product could be this good. And for those who need an extra nudge to pluck one up: You can snag it for 25% off right now for Kosas’ Black Friday sale (and I suspect it will fly off the shelves fast). And those active ingredients are some of my all-time favorites for juicy, bouncy skin: peptides, glycerin, probiotics, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid, plant proteins, and amino acids. All of these players shimmy deep inside the pores and replenish skin moisture, balance pH, and increase firmness, so your complexion instantly looks calmer and dewier. As its name suggests, you’ll also find vegan collagen. Now we’ve said before that there’s no such thing as “vegan” collagen, but the beauty industry evolves every day with new biotechnology to help mimic ingredients found in nature. Recently, formulators have discovered a few biotech ingredients that can, in fact, boost your skin’s natural collagen production when applied topically (stay tuned for more reporting on that front). The vegan collagen in the Kosas spray serum helps support the skin barrier and visibly plumps the skin with hydration. “It’s a total skin reset all in one product,” Yataines adds, and the brand even has the clinicals to back up the claim: After 31 women used the serum spray for four weeks, 100% of participants showed improvement in skin moisture, and 90% showed improvement in skin firmness.
Kosas Plump + Juicy Vegan Collagen Spray-On Serum My face gets red and splotchy pretty easily, especially in the morning after a few salty cocktails. With just five to six spritzes of the serum, my skin instantly appears more even with a noticeable glow. (Check out the photo below to see my results right after spritzing on the serum; it immediately nixed the redness around my nose and brightened up my skin tone.) And because the nozzle provides such a fine mist, I’m never left dripping wet—only refreshed.
