The cooling spray felt refreshing on my face. There is a very faint clean smell when I sprayed it. This is not like a water-type mist, it is mixed with a hydrating layer, as well as a moisturizing, soothing, and nourishing layer. I shake this well and use it in the PM, after cleansing. This mist is on the stickier side so it’s best for dry skin. I definitely feel my skin more hydrated! It really helped absorb my moisturizer into my after applying this product. I love how it forms a smooth moisturized barrier, especially against the dry winter air in Illinois.
