This is a game changer! I am always trying to fight my hormonal breakouts and after using this spray for almost 2 weeks now, my face has calmed down tremendously!!! It also feels softer and more supple. I always thought that thermal water was just nonsense until I started using it again and saw major changes in my skin! (Prior to this, I used Avene last summer and remember getting compliments on my skin). I no longer feel dry throughout the day and my skin isn't as red.

Usage - I spray this all over my face prior to cleansing. Then again after cleansing.

So bottomline - thermal spring water is a must!!! And LRP's version is a lot better in my opinion and is more accessible so this is HG in my book!

Well I was among those girls that used to say - who would pay so much money for a can of water??? Until I recieved it as a bonus when buying LRP Hydreane Legere moisturizer.
Well this combo is a miracle for my oily acne skin!!!! I never ever thought my skin was so sensitive....And after using this (along with the moisturizer) I could see such a difference.
After I spent the whole can, I started to get acne again and my skin was getting worse....So I run and bought some more...And several times I tried to stop using it (saying to myself - it is impossible that water in a can is helping you) but I could definitely see the difference when not using it.
It's probably because of the selenium in it.

And girls that are saying they don't see any results - it's probably because your skin is not sensitive....

Great for rehydration, it has no smell, unlike the Avene one. Hence, I like it better.

I have sensitive, oily, acne-prone skin (with cystic chin breakouts) and I live in a humid tropical climate but am in air-conditioned environments most of the time.

Among all the thermal spring waters I've used (Avene, Vichy, Biotherm, etc) this line works the best for me.

It is the only thermal spring water that actually minimises and prevents breakouts. My cystic acne is unavoidable but this minimises the pain I feel, and it prevents smaller breakouts form occurring. I use this after washing my face in the morning (before putting on makeup) and in the night time (before moisturiser).

Used to be in the "this is just water/nothing special" camp. Then, out of desperation due to a terrible skin reaction from sunscreen, I tried to calm things down by using this. This did the trick! Not only brought things back to normal but improved skin so much I've been getting compliments! If you are a non-believer, keep this on hand for when things are less than optimal and you just might be convinced.

I find this so soothing and hydrating! I either use it to mist my face before applying moisturizer at night, or I use it to set my makeup and remove any leftover powderiness (I love powder, if you haven't noticed from my other reviews, lol). But this really helps make any foundation/powder combo look more skin-like and natural. I also like the feeling of misting it over my face after a long day at work, if I'm going somewhere in the evening. Works a treat!

I'm enjoying using this, but after I run out, I probably won't buy this again. Yes it is refreshing, but that's about it. Honestly, I haven't noticed any miraculous results since using this. Huge gimmick.

I love LRP products and use many of them as I feel that they really calm my super sensitive skin and don't give me spots and this product interested me. I put it on to refresh my face and lightly hydrate my skin and it makes it feel softer, less irritated and smoother - I love it! I will definitely re purchase as I think that it makes a but difference to how my skin looks and feels. I would definitely recommend this!

I used to think thermal water sprays were a waste of money. But after using this I am officially a convert. This actually made a big difference to my skin and when I don't use it, I can tell because my skin will lack that extra something that makes it look so much healthier. I use this as a moisturiser after cleansing and it gives me just enough moisture without leaving my skin dry or too oily. It calms my sensitive and easily irritated skin. Also on the bottle it says that it has natural anti oxidants, which is a bonus for me! I live in France and this costs me around 5 euros for the largest bottle. I am more than happy to pay for this can of 'water' and will continue using this as long as it is still available.

I'm on the second bottle and I seriously can't live without it! I like to spray it on my face every morning when I wake up. Definitely the best way to refresh my morning!

I've tried witch hazel, Burt's Bees toners and Murad's hydrating toner. This is definitely the winner!! My pores are less visible. It does balance out my uneven skin tone. No more rosy cheeks! The only con about it, I don't really feel it hydrates my skin.

Personally i still prefer avene because i feel a change in my skin texture however i don't feel much difference with this. I use this after my foundation and it gives a nice sheen/glow to my skin afterwards. I got on offer for 2 for 10 pounds but in the future i will probably buy avene which is normally cheaper and better than this.

I can't live without thermal water because my reactive acne-prone skin. I use this every single day after washing my face and I can say it improves condition of my skin and gives comfort to my skin. It's just a water with a lot of minerals so it cannot irritate your skin. It only can help you, so give a try. Totally recommend.

For most people this is water in a can, but after months of using it, I'm a believer! I use it whenever I feel my skin dehydrated and this soothes and hydrate my skin. After a compact powder touch up, I mist my face and prevents my make up to look powdery. When I feel my skin really dry I mist a little before applying my moisturizer, it really works.

i use this regularly and it controls the sebum production. this is rich in selenium which is supposed to be a powerful anti-oxidant. usually, i use this after a shower and i spray it across my face and the neck.

Better than vichy and evian but not as good as Avene.

ok, so i really wanted to love this, im a big fan of all of the LRP products i have used and continue to use. my skin is super dry and i thought this would help. as far as i can tell it made me drier. it feels great right when it goes on, but after a few minutes my skin feels uncomfortably tight and hot. i havent tried it since the weather has gotten warmer, so maybe i'll give it another chance, but my experience with it wasnt great.

Every brand is having this sorta "water spray". This is my very first bottle (HKD 79, on discount, 300ml) and I'm loving it so far.

I use it as setting spray and moisturizing spray. I have a small bottle at the office so that I could use it in air-con environment during the day. It doesn't smudge my make up. The best thing is it helps easing the irritations, bug bite, itchyness caused by allergy and etc.

This is great for refreshing skin/hair/makeup and for spritzing on skin right before moisturizer application. We have awful water here in Southern CA. It's loaded with chlorine and all kinds of treatments for purification and safety. It's drying to skin, so this soft, pure thermal water is a luxury! This is wonderful for spraying on legs after shaving.

Regarding the N2 ingredient in Thermal Spring Water: N2, which is nitrogen in gas form used as a propellant for the spray, is chemically inert. N2 and Nitrogen are not related metabolically, and N2 does not produce free radicals, etc. You're not spraying liquid nitrogen (LN2) on your skin when you use this water. No cryogenics, just soothing refreshment. The "sources" provided in a previous review regarding "nitrogen as a propellant" are taken directly from one of Paula Begoun's publications, (either on CosmeticsCop or Beautypedia), and the quote itself is, at best, an attempt to simplify to extremes some information that may be inferred from a cursory glance of both cited articles (which are rather dated). At worst, it's a misunderstanding of the information provided in both articles; neither of which concentrates specifically on skin apoptosis. In order to review the Nitrogen Cycle, refer to any junior high science textbook.

Can't actually believe I bought this as it's really just a gimmick, but when you have rosacea and you're in the middle of an awful flare up you'll try anything! This feels very cooling on the skin and it sprays a fine mist of mineral water which feels like it's somehow doing your skin good but in reality it's just water and it did nothing to help my skin at all. What a mug!
