Size: 59 ml / 2 Fl oz
Price: EDS: CA$25 / on Dermstore: US$20
Commercial mists I recently tried were Thalgo Thalgo Reviving Marine Mist Pure Vitality (150ml/ 5 Fl. oz for CA$34 on EDS) and La Mer (126ml/4.2oz for RRP US$50 )
I got this in my last EDS order, just before Xmas. I was looking for 3 things in a mist: hydration, no "film" (what I did not like about La Mer) and no chemicals/added fragrance (the reason I gave up on Thalgo).
Let me say, this stuff is EXPENSIVE. Given the size of the bottle, it is right up there with La Mer (59ml of La Mer would be about US$23), so it is definately NOT for those wanting to save $$.
What I love: no chemicals, just lovely flower and oil extracts added to "Water" ( I thought it was supposed to be "heavy water". Nice fragrance, no residue or film on the skin, yet it has kept my skin hydrated in the very dry air of my over-heated office this winter (I spritz about 5 times a day, 3 pumps a time). It really is just like spritzing with water, the mist is that light. As it dries there is no "drying" feeling that some water mists give though.
What I don't love: the pump. It does give a nice fine mist that spreads wide (although it is not a pressurized/continuous pump like with Thalgo - which I loved), BUT, the nozzle cap gets clogged and every second day (sometimes every day) I have to go out and rinse out the top. A small thing, but annoying none-the-less.
Would I repurchase?: I am thinking no.. mostly because of the pump problem, but the price does put me off too. I think I will try Decleor (150ml/5oz for just CA$26) and a couple of others first, but if I cannot find a decent chemical & fragrance free mist, then I will come back to this because the product itself is just wonderful.
