I bought this product because I saw it had been featured in many Japanese magazine that I read. Yet, upon encountering this product, I just feel blah about it, it definitely nowhere near my the glory of past HG Evian Spray Water, or even my current HG Za Energy Water. It has this astringent odor that I dislike. And it's not even hydrating my skin (main function of this spray water, should be hydrating skin, no?) as much my other spray water had. Too bad it doesn't live up to my hope :(

I do like this water spray, as well as Avene's and Vichy's. I don't see any particular difference between them although there is adiffernce according to what the containers say :) it's very fine and refreshing, gives a nice calming feeling. Will keep buying this one if on sale otherwise Avene & Vichy are cheaper and you get the same excellent quality.
EDIT: 10 days/2 a day sprayed on face, neck and decolette - and it's gone. No good. I am not repurchasing.

The only difference with this mist compared to Evian is that is has a scent which is nice. It has a nice even spray and refreshes great on a hot day. In Hawaii this thing is great!! I wish DHC had nicer packaging though their containers are so BLAH.

This is my first mist. I was kind of disappointed when I got the small bottle out from the package while I am expecting a size like our drinking water bottle. But it is easy to carry around then. Plus it feels great to use. I put it on my office table and use it in the late afternoon. I feel it is very refreshing. I have been only using it for a week and don't know what to expect from a mist other than calming. So I give it a 4 but it is good and I will repurchase.

I love this stuff. When my skin is feeling blah but I don't have time to wash and re-do makeup, it gives me a refreshing lift.

This is nice! Tones and nourishes, as other reviewers have mentioned. I've never used a mist before, so I wasn't sure what to expect. The mist is really fine and refreshing. I think the packaging is really cute, too. Could be a few bucks cheaper, but I like it, so I'll shell out that extra money.

I've been through 5 of these. Yes, 5. I really love them that much, LOL! I've made my own facial mists many times (some of them have been really good too!) but I love the portability of the DHC Micro Skin Water, and the fact that spray is quite fine. I also like that the ingredients are quite mild and the scent is not overly fragrant as many mists can be. The green tea scent is subtle. Also, the mist feels somehow nourishing, rather than "toning." My skin is very dry, and I work very long hours... I get very tired and need a pick me up frequently and washing my face isn't always possible-- no time! This is the perfect solution for a person on the go. Also, it's perfect for airplane travel, another reason why I really, love this item. With humidity levels shockingly low at 40,000 feet above sea level, this is really a life saver for my skin. I also find that when I use a moisturizing mask, if I spritz this on, this will "recharge the mask" a bit too. Writing a paper? Keep this by the computer when your eyes are fatigued, and you somehow you feel a bit better. You see, I found so many uses for this baby!

The price is a bit high, I think it should be a couple dollars less, but the packaging and ingredients are much better than Evian mist and I feel much more refreshed and my skin feels so much better with this! I can't be without it!

I've used a quite a few mists, Evian being the one I have frequently repurchased. The mist of this DHC really does come out "micro" it's very fine. I use it mostly to refresh my skin and set mmu when I wear it occasionally. I starting using this in the winter and it helps with the tight feeling, but am also looking forward to using it in the summer! The packaging is nice and travels well.

Fun micro-mist that I use as a toner occasionally. Used it the other night on my neck which was inflamed for some reason...soothed and softened the skin so I could sleep. Contains
"antioxidant green tea, thyme, and houttuynia extracts" but mostly contains water and butylene glycol (no placental protien...yahoo!). Good, fun stuff...

very fun product and great for those hot sticky summer days. i use this as a toner when i am too lazy to pat toner on, or when i just want something different. very refreshing and just a little spray goes a long way. the bottle feels pretty much weightless but there's the same amount of micro-water in the bottle as one of my toners. amazing. i also use this to set my foundation. i just spray and pat my face with a tissue. i also spray it on after slathering on sunscreen on my face, makes it matte and nice. works great.

This was a mostly frivolous purchase. I knew it was a gimmicky product but I liked the idea of it. I use it mostly to set my mineral makeup, otherwise I do not have much use for it. I won't buy it again because of the price and shipping from DHC. I think Avene or Evian sprays would do the job just fine.

I really like this product. It is actually a toner that hydrates and calms skin. I use it in the morning before I put on my sunscreen. It calms my skin, especially after a shower. My skin will often feel tight after a shower and this seems to make that feeling dissipate. The mist takes a while to get used to, I used to clamp my eyes shut like if someone was going to zap me with a hose sprayer or something! :-) But, this mist is really very fine and gentle as it is deposited on the skin. I will repurchase.

One word. Refreshing! Great to bring with you on a hot day. I would bring this for travel, especially to hot countries. A bit on the expensive side about the same as the Evian Mineral Water spray, but I like the spray nozzle on this one which mists nicely. I've been using it even in the winter. Hydrates my skin. I like it!
