I nipped into life pharmacy for some cream for my son after his wee face met the concrete but instead I walked out with this.. It seemed a better choice to put on the skin with less ingredients and also with the fact it lets the skin breathe to heal.
I have also used it too.. as selfishly I wanted something like this for my delicate skin after I had used up some of my other sprays.
This is so soothing and refreshing on the skin - I haven't had sunburn for a long time and hopefully I don't ever get sunburn in my life again.. but if I do this will be one of my skin saviours. It has been great to have on hand for my face on hot days etc.
For my son I wanted his face to heal so I didn't want it clogged or covered in a barrier and he wanted something for that inflammation and burning feeling.. this was a great alternative to the icepack. He let me spray it on him and its effect lasted longer than if I had put an ice pack on as he wriggled away from the ice pack.. trying to keep an ice pack on a toddler is HARD!
For myself with sensitive skin I have used this to settle my skin after showers, hot days, too long in the sun and a few cases where I have had reactions to chemicals or touch on my skin.
It has been great to soothe, cool and settle my inflamed skin and my kids skin also.
I would love a more portable size?? As I think it would be great to have to take to out on hot days in the nappy bag, bag etc. It really is only water and gas. So with regards to chemical reactions for me I don't have to worry about using this and causing further reaction or damage. Great that you don't need to keep in the fridge and you still get that super cool feeling though.
Great refresher, good for your skin. Avene products are great especially for dry/sensitive skin. I use a few of their products. I like the little bottle, and it lasts well. Nice fine mist but effective, doesn't leave droplets on your face so good even with makeup on.
Tips: Just the standard.... hold 20-30cm away from your face
