This very simple product that has become one of my favorites. A must have in my bag when it's summer.

It truly refreshes the skin, and even without using any lotions afterward, my skin still gets softer just spraying this. Here's a little advice: when the weather is hot, keep this in your fridge and you'll double the refreshing factor.

The only little complaint I have is the price. It's a bit too much just for water, considering sparkling mineral waters are available for a lot cheaper and have a similar effect on the skin. But you can't spray those waters like you can Vichy's product, so I can still recommend this despite its price.

Another great thermal water with lot of minerals that never break you out or irritate your skin. It helps to calm down breakouts and increases defense of my skin. I use this one or La Roche Posay Thermal Water every single day in the morning and evening after washing my face. Totally recommend.

After hearing rave reviews about Vichy, I decided to look through their products whilst shopping in Boots (drugstore). I checked out the spray and was won over by the fancy description of the product. When I got home to try it out, I felt refreshed and cool. However after it dried out, my skin felt dry. I doubt this spray has any actual benefits for the skin on the long run as it so claims in the bottle. I'd use it on a really hot day when I'm outside and need to feel cool and refreshed. Will definately take this with me on holiday next week. Would I buy this again? Most probably not. It was quite expensive and a silly mistake on my part to purchase a spray containing just water and some other contents. Even if it is water from some river in France. Big deal. Wouldn't recommend anyone buying it. It just provides very short term relief.

I guess you know you have super acne prone skin when even water breaks you out. I bought this because I like to apply my argan oil to damp skin so I thought a thermal water under it would be even better. But apparently my skin didn't like the minerals in this or something because I had new zits within the first day I used it.
I've heard thermal water can help eczema so I tried spraying this on my legs where I get patches of eczema and then applying lotion. It seemed to help soothe the eczema a little but not enough to purchase again. And yes I felt a little dumb paying $12 for water, even special water.

LOVe this!!! even though its just spa water in a can. I use this as a toner and it makes my face feels really hydrated and soft after I spray it to my face.

I use the sigma cleansing and polishing tool to cleanse and exfoliate my face and use this spa water once my face is dry. Its just gives leaves a great feeling on my skin, and even greater when I use a face mask or apply a rich moisturiser afterwards.

Even though its quite expensive for what it is, I will be re-purchasing it again because it makes my skin feel really really soft and light.

When I tried this product I didn't know what it was for to be honest, because my sister gave this to me ( she got a bigger can so gave me the other one she had) but it's amazing !

I spray it on my face and absorbs it pretty quickly, is not like you just put water on you face and stays there, This is different like water, its absorbs PRETTY WELL and makes my face smooth and soft immediately and so much lighter.

I use it at nights, after i remove make up and clean my face i spray this all over and is very refreshing after a long day !
i wait until its absorbs and then i continue with my skin care routine ( moisturized, eye cream, etc ).

I highly recommend this for people who feel like their face is not always clean or refreshed, specially when you go out and you feel your skin so heavy because of the pollution of the city, the sun, etc.

I got this product at 50% off which helped me get over the fact I was buying water in a can a little better but I gotta say I'm sold on it now. After I clean my face and dry it i spray some of this water on and then follow with my moisturizer. I have no idea how much this is really doing for me but it feels great and I feel like it keeps my skin more supple and moisturized. It's much better than tap water, especially at my home because the water here is extremely hard.

This is a luxury item for daily use. Convenient and refreshing. But it's a must to have on airplanes and on the beach for a quick pick me up, because it does have moisturizing qualities and cools on contact. I pat to dry rather than let dry naturally or the water drying in the air actually dries me out more. This happens with all spa water sprays. Almost as the air is sucking the moisture out which is counterproductive. Because of price I feel guilty for daily use but I do consider it a staple. I prefer Vichy water over evian. It has better moisturizing properties for me.

So far, all the containers of this that I have were freebies or gifts but I have to say, I really like this spray for when I'm at the gym...it's very refreshing and cooling to spray on this superfine mist when I'm strength training or doing cardio and am so hot and sweaty that I can't stand it! Years ago, long, long before things like this were common in N. America, I was in school in Nice and discovered Evian brumisateur was commonly used as a beauty product there. I remember using it on the train from Nice to Toulouse in the hot summer as a way to freshen and revive. It may just be water (okay, mineral water) but it sure is nice and refreshing and even if I'm wearing makeup, these fine mists don't seem to mess it up at all.

It's a nice, refreshing spray. There was nothing that stood out too much for me, just how it made my skin feel cleaner and perked up. It's alright stuff.

I was introduced to this product at the CVS counter. I felt a bit rip off by buying water for such a high price.

* in general, tap water are hard water, which is not good for skin. So I want to use my serum to "trap" water that's more pure than that hard water from the tap.

* convenience : no need to pull out the cotton ball, just spraying on the face is not much a hassle for me.

* I do see that this spa water calm my face, and the slight redness is gone when I'm using this water.

This product sat in my cabinet for a long time because I just wasnt sold on it the first few times I used it.. however, my skin has been so dry and dull from the weather that I thought I'd give this stuff a go agian, and im so happy I did! This is how I've been using it:

*After cleansing and drying my face, I spray a light mist over my skin and allow it to air dry almost completely before applying my moisturizer. I've really noticed a difference in the way my moisturizer is working for me since doing it this way. It seems to go deeper into my skin and really keep it hydrated all day. I do this usually just in the morning, but sometimes I do it at night as well.

*My favourite use for this product is to spray it on a sponge before applying my foundation. I use the sponges you can get at the drugstore. I spray one side of the sponge so that its damp and then i put a little foundation on the sponge and apply. I use the same method if I'm using a liquid concealer. It helps my makeup go on smooth and leaves a really pretty dewy finish, instead of the cakeyness that I normally experience when I use foundation on dry skin.

I know some people have been saying that its pointless to buy this "water in a can" but it is mineral water from france, and is a lot nicer on my sensitive skin than the hard tap water at my place.

Maybe it's just me but for the price, I think it is a good product. It is not a miracle water but it calms the redness and hydrates your skin. I like LRP's spray a little better because it has selenium.

i loved this product, and it helped improve skin tone and appearance. however, it is really expensive and sometimes (with the help of my friends) I feel like i am wasting money on water in a can. i did see benefits while using this product but just simply can't afford to continue repurchasing it.

This stuff is amazing! I'm using it for 1 week now, and it improved my skin so much! I suffered with redness and acne and the Vichy water really calmed my skin. Would buy again, for sure!

Packaging: 4

Buy again: Maybe??

--------------------------------


I bought this because I noticed my skin (normal/combination) was getting really dehydrated from the weather, and using heavier moisturizers weren't doing the trick.


This product is supposed to have "Thermal Spa Water" rich in minerals and oligo-elements to soothe skin and hydrate. I use this after cleansing and toning--I spray, massage it in my skin or let it mostly evaporate, and then apply my moisturizer (day and night) while the skin is still damp.


I have found this makes a HUGE difference in the texture of my skin. It actually looks and feels soft and smooth, not flakey and patchy. It helps my moisturizers to absorb better and lock in moisture. I found that out of the facial water sprays, Vichy is among the cheapest (Avene's was like $30/300 mL. You'd save $5 if you bought 2 of the Vichy ones). I don't remember how much the Aquafina or Evian face spray was but at only $12.50, I think it's pretty safe to say Vichy is cheap.


Now, while it would be nice to believe that this Vichy water spray is better than normal water, I'm inclined to believe that just using tap water in a spray bottle would probably work just as well. However, I do like the look of the bottle sitting on my counter, and there is the hope that perhaps it IS better than tap water. I think the 150 mL bottle should last a long time, even with 2x/daily use, just because you don't need a lot, and the spray is really fine (my clothes don't get soaked after I use this).


If you aren't sure if you want to commit to the 150 mL can, Vichy also sells little 50 mL cans for about $6.50 CAN, I believe.

I love this for my eczema!!! Using this before I apply my moisturizer has made the world of difference in my skin quality and healing my eczema.
