I also tried La Roche Posay's thermal spring water but this one is clearly superior. It actually calms and soothes red and inflamed skin.

I cannot live without it lol
This is one of my HG, period. I have the bigger size at home, I have the medium size at my boyfriend's house and I have the smaller size in my purse so I can have it with me at all times. I use it in my routines before applying my essence and serums and I apply and reapply it many times during the day to keep my face fresh and hydrated. Great to apply after you finish your make-up too!
