A resounding no from me. When you first open this item the first thing that came to mind: Magnesium Citrate. The stuff you take to flush your insides before surgery or a colonoscopy. That’s all I could smell. I even said it to my BF. That should have been my first warning sign, but no, I desperately wanted a micellular water. I used this as my quick cleanse just home form work. Throw it on a cotton round, go over my face with it. It burned my eyes like crazy. It didn’t even take off my Glossier lash slick or the extent of my foundation. But, again, it was just a first easy wipe down. I used it for days figuring I’d use up the deluxe sample I got and that would be it. Except I finally caught onto the fact that the dry, inflamed acne on my chin was most likely coming from a an irritant. I stopped using this and within two to three days it cleared up 80%. Now, I’d like to point out, I was so excited for this because of the original formula. I didn’t realize they’d switched. Sad that they got rid of such a good formulation for one that is literally all citrus oils. I’ve seen people say that this list is shorter and “cleaner.” Yes, citrus is clean and natural. But it’s also a proven irritant on the skin.

I'm in love with this! It is THE finest mist spray I've come across yet and by far the best ingredients (5 different ceramides alone) in a facial mist, from all the brands I've tried before. One of its main ingredients: Methylpropanediol sounds scary but is a fantastic alternative to Butylene or Propylene Glycol as an emollient, plus it's antimicrobial - probably why my skin has been a lot clearer since using this! Plus Witch Hazel - antibacterial by nature, also clears my skin up and is in here too. It's like the perfect combination of hydration + skin clearing. I cannot use this over m/u as it's very emollient and leaves a slight sheen on my skin, plus it contains potentially phototoxic Bergamot oil, therefore I only use at night, 1-2 mists and let it sink in just before going to bed. My skin is much more hydrated and flaky patches are gone. I don't even need to use a moisturizer after using this.

Interesting product. A mix between moisturizer and face mist, brilliant! I use it when I’m on a run and my face needs some extra moisture. A little goes a long way. It absorbs super quickly. Perfect for my combo skin.
