Caudalie Grape Water Moisturizing Face Mist - Soothing Organic Facial Spray to Instantly Hydrate and Strengthen the Skin Barrier, Safe for Sensitive Skin

I use several makeup "setting" or "refreshing" sprays. Tatcha Luminous Dewy Skin Mist is one. Another by Tarte. I am a high end beauty user. I don't use many drug store products and dabble in makeup artistry as well. As a regular Sephora shopper I was looking for a product to dampen my Beauty Blender for foundation and contour but without the $60+ dollar price tag of setting sprays. I came across Caudalie Grape Water and I'm in love. I've bragged about this to all my friends and women I know. It's literally the best find I can think of. First off, it's inexpensive. The bottle is HUGE and sprays a very fine mist that coats evenly. For its original purpose of dampening BB sponges, it's amazing. It really helps to keep my face hydrated without changing the texture, coverage or formula of my foundation. It also makes eye shadow pop, especially shimmers. They go on smoothly and are easier to blend with a quick spray of your brush. I often like to remove my makeup at the sink before bed and not in the bath. Since I don't heavily moisturize before bed I figured this might make an excellent toner/moisturizer after removing my makeup. I was so right! A quick spray leaves skin calm, extremely soft and hydrated but with a weightless, residue free texture. I've noticed my now dry mid 30s skin is not tight or greasy from heavy night cream. I wake up to flawless skin and not the usual t zone redness and hyper pigmentation. It does not break out your skin. For those thinking "this is water in a can", not so fast. Supposedly it's full of minerals, potassium and promises 127% hydration. It claims to calm. It's done all of this. Plain water does not. I have also been experiencing mild skin irritation from allergies on my legs. Causes dry patches and is itchy. I've been using it on those patches and within two days noticed a drastic improvement. I tried all sorts of lotions including coconut oil which is an all purpose cure for various skin issues but only this product has truly shown some impressive results. I don't notice any smell to it so if there is it must be very light if not undetectable. I highly recommend giving this a try if you have any use for it in reference to the uses listed in my review. It's good stuff. I keep several bottles on hand. Give it a try before you think gimmick. Excellent for cooling off hot summer skin. I can't attest that it sets makeup but it's not designed to. I have sprayed it on during the day to refresh makeup and it does hydrate but I wouldn't rely on it to "set" your face. For all other purposes though it's awesome!
