What the gurus are saying

The gurus found the formula itself calming and soothing, especially for those with sensitive or red skin, and praised the mister application. However, both flagged the packaging as a real problem: it doesn't open or empty fully, leaving a not insignificant amount of product trapped and wasted. On hydration, the takes split by skin type. Those with oily or combination skin may find it refreshing, but anyone with dry or dehydrated skin should skip it, since the formula delivers water-level hydration only and lacks the moisturization those skin types need.

"It's a quick, easy toner, hydrator, essence type of product. The sea water in this I find kind of calming and soothing when my skin's feeling a little bit sensitive, or maybe a little red or inflamed. It's really good. The formula itself is good. The mister was good. I really liked this product. Plus the skin's entertainment value, it's really beautiful to look at. I loved everything else in the bottle, but the packaging is a failure, you can't open it or pour out the rest, and there's a not insignificant amount of product left that I won't be able to use. I recommend this with reservations because of that. I loved everything else, but when you can't use the last bit of it, it really turns me off."

"I think it was a little wasteful. Did I enjoy this product 100%? Will I repurchase it? Maybe in the summer months I will repurchase it. I'm going to finish it up. I might repurchase it. But if I have a lot of other toners, hyaluronic acid based, and if I have a hyaluronic acid serum, I might not really repurchase it. It's a nice product if you have combination or oily skin. It is good for you. If you have really dry skin, combination to dry skin, dehydrated skin, you will not appreciate it because this is just water, water level hydration. You won't get moisturization. Dry, dehydrated skin also needs moisturization, so this one is not for you. My conclusion on this product is if your skin is oily and if you have to spend $25 to $30, then you can get it. Otherwise you can completely skip it."
