What the gurus are saying

This cooling spray earns consistent praise for refreshing hot, tight skin during the day and soothing minor sun irritation, making it especially handy at the beach or in dry climates. Gurus suggest layering it before hyaluronic acid or moisturizer to lock in hydration, though one expert noted you don't strictly need it. The formula's soothing minerals and affordable price appeal to many, though it works best as a refresher rather than a standalone treatment.

"If you're hot at the beach and you want a nice hydrating spray while you're hanging out, this is a nice spray to cool down. If you want to do this at night before you go to bed and you want to get a nice hydrating moisturizer or serum to help lock in and absorb all that moisture you got from this, go right ahead. But if you have a burn, this is also really nice to just soothe. This is a very calming soothing spray that you could consider."

"The Thermal Spring Water from La Roche-Posay is something I often recommend to my patients with really dry skin. Spritz it on the skin first because there's high mineral content, and it's been shown in studies to increase the microbiome diversity on the skin, giving more varied types of good bacteria, before you follow up with your moisturizer."

"There is data to support that La Roche-Posay's spring water, which is high in mineral content, increases the microbial diversity on the skin. Recently I was in La Roche-Posay, France at their treatment facility, where patients bathe in this spring water, shower in it, get massages in it, get jet therapy in it, and it's an intensive 21 day treatment course that really helps with some of these complicated skin diseases like eczema, psoriasis, burns, the side effects of cancer treatment, and other types of scars."

"I'm a big fan of the La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water. Every time I'm traveling I always use it before I go on a beach. What I do is I put it in the fridge, pull it down and then put it in an ice pack, and if I'm out there I use [...] it to spray just to cool down, and in case somebody gets a sunburn it's a nice cooling spray to have. It always comes in handy."
Mixed
"You don't need it, it does feel nice to spray, and if you're especially somebody who likes to spray water before you apply your hyaluronic acid, this is something that can give you that added boost. You don't need it, but if you're extra you might like it, extra in the summer. I love it, I love doing like a Thermal Spring Water spray and then like a hyaluronic acid drippy and then like a lightweight moisturizer, like if I'm in Arizona or Colorado somewhere horribly dry and barren, that will save my skin."
Approved
"I'm a fan of soothing waters, so sometimes I like to incorporate La Roche-Posay's thermal [...] water into my routine after cleansing."
Approved
"You can bring this to the beach and freshen up your skin because sometimes if you're outside for a long period of time in the summer and you're wearing sunscreen daily and you keep reapplying it, it can make your skin feel really tight. This just gives that nice refreshment and that moisture to the skin. Great to use on top of your makeup and sunscreen throughout the day. [...] This is one of my favorites for sure."
Approved
"The other drugstore brand in the misting category that I've used for years is La Roche-Posay, another brand I think can do no wrong. It is called the Thermal Spring Water. Throughout the day you will often see me at my desk like a weirdo just doing this, they've come to accept it, it's who I am now."
