   This is just a… face mist? The ingredients are clean and probably great but I don’t think it is amazing and I don’t love it. It’s nice and all but I feel like it’s not really doing anything for my skin. I like using it but I will try a different face mist next time.

   The sprayer does a perfect job of dispersing but I really, really wish it wasn’t packaged in yet another bottle of plastic.

   It smells mostly of ylang-ylang with notes of something else, not a bad smell and fades, for those of us who aren’t crazy about products with a strong scent.

   The smell of this is so creamy and sweet while still avoiding the vanilla/sugar trap, I can’t stop using it just for the aromatherapy benefits. It’s a great final step for combo skin, especially after mineral cosmetics or any other powder, and helps bridge the gab if you need moisture but have reactive skin that hates most creams and oils. After months of daily use, I see no long term benefits-immediate benefits would be on par with Mario B.’s Rose & Aloe mist, but without the sticky glycerin feeling and with top notch ingredients at more than twice the price. Also, I hate to be *too* picky… but the plastic bottle could use an upgrade. It sprays perfectly and the smaller size is great for travel/gym bag/work satchel, but it looks like generic hairspray. Small gripe.
   This does not break out my acne prone skin, but I don’t like it as a toner – I need my acids, vitamin C, Zinc and Niacinamide, but it does boost hydration-just spray lightly if you’re oily.
   This is heaven for wacky hair-makes it smell incredible and calms frizz just enough without leaving noticeable product left over.

   This was one of those products I purchased not really sure that I needed but just wanted to try it 🙂 I had read good things about Josh Rosebrook products and thought it was worth a try. No regrets; I love it. Its a triple action product; hydrator, toner and a light moisturizer. It really does accomplish all 3. Its chock full of some nice ingredients that really seem to “treat” the skin, not just simply hydrate it. I apply this post cleanse (am and pm), or during the day if my skin is feeling a little parched, or post mask etc. Along with my Kiehl’s Iris Extract, I use these products daily. My skin (dryer/mature) drinks this stuff up and loves it. It really seems to make a difference in how supple my skin looks and feels over time. I find my serums seem to absorb better, or my bare face just seems more “healthy looking”, if possible. A few quick sprays (very nice fine mist sprayer, plastic bottle/good for travel), and Im good to go. Let it sink for a minute or two and proceed with other treatments or simply apply and wear on its own. It also has a nice natural fragrance, nothing overpowering. I find it almost has a calming effect on me (as well as my skin!). I have repurchased this. For those in Canada, I get it at Well.ca, and it is sometimes on sale, which makes it more cost effective and inline with other good hydrators.

   Never thought I would give a face mist holy grail status in my cabinet! This face mist is the bomb!

   I have very dry combo skin, and It is the BEST face mist I have tried for my skin type. The ingredients are hands down the best because they are all geared toward truly nourishing your skin. This absolutely does give immediate results and that’s largely due to aloe vera being the FIRST ingredient. This face mist hydrates the moment you spritz it on your face, and it doesn’t just dry up and do nothing. My dry face stays hydrated for hours without making my nose and chin oily or causing any breakouts. Is has in fact, helped my skin tremendously. The spray bottle distributes the product very evenly and totally covers my face. Two mists for my face, one for my neck and I’m good to go! I don’t wear much makeup, but find this really helps my tinted moisturizer blend in to my skin even more so than it already does leaving my skin looking completely natural, hydrated and even with no flakies or uneven skin tone. It indeed is helping my skin tone so much. I will be buying the large size very soon. I will not be without this product!

   I have had mostly good experiences with Josh Rosebrook products (other than the oil which sent my skin into the pits of hell – breakouts everywhere and dry, scaly, itchy patches all over) and the Hydrating Accelerator is one of my favourites! It smells fantastic and really helps absorb my avocado oil and moisturiser into my skin. I also use it to freshen up my makeup if my face is feeling a bit dry.

   This is one I won’t be retiring to the cupboard anytime soon!

   This product smells absolutely delicious! I am very pleased with the scent and texture of this product. The spritzer dispenses an even amount of product all over the face. I cannot say if this product is really effective in the long-term, but it seems to work just fine for the moment. This product is a bit expensive for not having immediate results. I would repurchase this product.
