100%!!! I recently found out neutrogena finally came out with a fragrance free hydro burst cleanser and I’m soooo excited. I loved that cleanser but could not handle the fragrance.
I love fragrance which is why I want fragrance free products. Nothing worse than my hair, make up and skin care scents clashing with each other AND my perfume :(
Wholeheartedly agree, it’s very nice to have fragrance-free options for peeps who are sensitive to it like me while still not eliminating the demographic who loves scented products
Unpopular opinion: Hyram gets way too much attention for a person who has literally no studies in cosmetology ,dermatology or cosmetic chemistry. He always mentions he is not an expert yet everyone sees him as the skincare God. Anyone who has an internet connection is able to find resources to learn a few things about skincare. He also contradicts himself in regards to some ingredients and has promoted brands that had products that were against what he preached about just because he definitely got some big cash out of that collaboration.
Agree! He acts like he knows everything just because of what he read on google. Yeah trust google. He only knows the ingredients but not really how it is formulated. Cringey
Mario Badescu is from Romania, not Ukraine as Cassandra mentions. I get that this whole region gets treated like a whole, or even all of Europe is just one single country in most of Americans' perception 😔
@@traceytrotter9934 Exactly. It's so trendy to be fragrance-free now that it's often hard to find traditionally fragranced products. I don't know why people still complain about the general use of fragrance when most companies already have those options and the overwhelming majority of people have zero physical problem with it. It's like with gluten, where most people are fine with it but avoid it to be trendy and feel above others.
@@sluttymctits4496 I still want to know if we are using products with plant and flower extracts why we aren't allowed to smell some of them. Does the smell coming through make the ingredient irritating?
@@traceytrotter9934 I'm definitely no expert, but aside from some people having physical/biological/allergic reactions to some extracts, others are just sensitive to smells and find it overpowering.

I just don't get why anti-fragrance people go on a crusade to try to force all companies to remove any and all fragrance.

The seaweed night cream is formulated for combo, oily and sensitive skin types. I run dry and can use it fine. Only a pea size amount for the entire face. It’s an awesome cream. The scent doesn’t bother me at all… I don’t get “old lady perfume” from it. Lol.. it was also written up as a dupe for the La Mer cream. So for $22 I’ll keep using it. Lol

There is one Mario product I can not live without. By itself does it give me great results? No. But please continue reading if you too are sensitive/reactive. I have a hard time keeping even my thick nightly moisturizer on overnight because, well, … I live in a moist wet Seattle climate that makes my products get wet and sluff away down my neck easy. So my last skin care ritual is to spray the “rose water aloe spray” over my product to finish! Works even better than good old petroleum jelly and feels sticky in the most fantastic way. Highly recommend. Extra bonus does not stick to my pillow. How do they do it??? Love love!
I’ve recently gone back to using the Seaweed Night Cream & Hylauronic Eye Cream from Mario Badescu and I wish I’d never stopped using them tbh my dry skin LOVES it! Especially the night cream ❤️
Everyone’s skin is different. Some might be more sensitive some might not be. I freaking love this spray! It’s great for my skin! I’m personally less sensitive to skin care stuff but I have a clothing sensitivity. This spray just works for my skin and is great. I recommend this spray for sure
Best.Bottles.Ever. Every time I've received a free MB fragranced water, I dump it down the drain, wash it, then use the bottle for setting spray. The mist on their bottles is fantastic! But the contents burn my face off..lol
Who cares what hyram thinks? Is he any sort of specialist in cosmetology? Didn't think so. I don't care for fragrances but damn, let's not act like it's the most harmful thing in the world because some internet boy said so lmao
Fragrance is such I villain now that skincare has become popular. No one paid attention 10 years ago weather their face cream has fragrance or not , or where a certain ingredient is situated on the ingredients list. It's good to know what products are best for you but this obsession with fragrance and ingredients has made everyone think that they have a dermatology degree just because they listen to a white boy on TH-cam.
Cass I like you a lot and learned so much from you and i TOTALLY get what you are referring too when you refer to clean beauty but at the same time, can we give people space to put whatever they feel comfortable with on their bodies? I feel like you can still explain about the fear mongering but if thats someone's thing just let them do it??? We also def dont have lots of data how many products (clean or not) act on the environment so I often lean towards SOME clean brands.
I think that's the point, people can use whatever works for them, she just reminds us that "clean" is not a real thing so if that marketing is the only reason you are using a product you might want to recomsider. Being informed helps you make better decisions for ypurself and not spread misinformation.
@@morgianasartre6709 I understand and agreed with the marketing issue but there is definitely an element of mockery from certain youtubers about certain brands and "natural" products.
@@missbeaussie I think the mockery element comes as a reaction to people who are actively spreading misinformation like Gweneth Paltrow who has built an industry on it and brands that use it to sell based on fear, not the regular people who happen to buy into it.
I have eczema and their rosewater spray actually helps to stop the flare-up. I remember the skin on my hands was boiling up yet again and flaky, the rosewater spray was within reach - yes I sprayed it on my hands. It worked to calm it. Just wanted to share because with the eczema and having 'eczema-friendly' products cause me flare-ups, I was terrified to have anything on my hands for the longest time. But this spray does work to soothe and hydrate my skin (I can feel it when I close my palms) and it doesn't hurt to try 👍
I’m 40 now, but the first time I saw a MB spray, it was in my oldest brothers toiletry kit. I think I was a pre-teen or teenager. I personally like Mario’s sprays, will likely check out this fragrance free one but I’m like your co-worker and like to smell nice lol. I just picked up a MB caffeine eye cream this week that I’ve been using. So far so good!
Hyram isn't the only one who trashed this brand and it looks like they have finally jumped on the "clean" beauty train. It's good that brands are offering both fragrance and fragrance-free options to carter to a wider audience. I love a good facial spray but I gravitate to ones that have ceramides, squalane, etc. in them but I do enjoy some of my products to have a nice scent to them.
Looking forward to the deepdive on Mario. The video's exposing the beauty industry makes me a better consumer and avoid brands that do not match my morals in life.
I’ve been using the drying lotion for spots for 30 years. I tried the Kate Somerville one and it’s feels like the EXACT same thing for more money. Their other products have all been “meh” for me. Reasonably priced, but not the luxury experience I look for in my skin care routine.
I actually really like the Mario badescu rose water facial spray… my skin isn’t very sensitive, and idk if it actually does anything but it sure feels nice! I’ll have to keep an eye out at Ulta for this new one :)
I love it too… it’s a great prep and set for makeup. Hydrating as well, and if you’re not sensitive to dyes or fragrance, then there’s nothing wrong with using it. ❤
Please talk about the super goop suncreen spray!! Or other products that are good for reapplying spf throughout the day. Me and my mom have both been looking for a product that allows us to reapply suncreen throughout the day without ruining our makeup. She found a bare minerals powder foundation with spf, but I want something like a translucent powder or spray with spf that won't change my makeup at all but would add spf.
There is the Garnier Ambre Solaire Over Makeup Super UV Protection Mist SPF50, I think you can find it in drugstores. I haven't tried it yet, found out about it online. I hope this helps 😊
@@geosephine I used it. I didnt like it at all! it makes your face greasy and the makeup looks even worse after you apply it. I dont even use a lot of make up but my face looks (I only use tinted sunscreen/moisteriser) cakey and greasy after a few sprits :( I heard good things about the La roche posay one tho... I have to try that one out yet
Cassandra, I have a question: if you spray this during the day over your make up, do you get any benefits from the niacinamide and sodium hyaluronate? Since it's going on over make up?
I'm glad that Hyram managed to effect some posotive change because he does come out with alot of crap, especially about preservatives and hyaluronic acid.
I actually have a few Mario Badescu products which includes 2 of the face sprays and what I do is use them as room spray because they are so so fragranced
I have all of Marios Facial Sprays from over the years and I just use them up. I won't rebuy after realising there are better ones, but I love a cool spritz in the summer heat, here in Australia.
Yes! I'm looking for Dr. Dray's opinion about this as well before I purchase. I really just need a hydrating mist to apply my other skincare. I'm will be 45 in a less than 45 days and recently moved to a region with hard water. Needless to say, I need hydration. Was thinking of purchasing a thermal spring water spray but would love and appreciate advice of which one to invest in. P.S. I had my husband install a water filter because my hair and skin can definitely feel the difference hard water has on me.
i dont f with them but i got the peptide serum in a sample kit.....and i loved it...i did not want to....but i do...so happy they are trying to change.
Ok.. so just left a comment for hyram. I'm not a troll or hating. I appreciate that you found something great in this line and I understand that every brand does not possess all great products. I just happen to be satisfied with all that I have purchased. I'm not as young as you so I don't use the same products. But I have been really pleased with the ones I have. I did get a sample pack of facial sprays which I liked. It did not include this one I think. Not sure if it's right for my skin or not but I will look into it.
The brand did not disclose having a banned substance in their ingredient list before this. How sure are you that the new line of products do not have banned steroids? Do watch Mad About Skin’s take on this
Hi Cassandra! Have you ever looked at Sephora's skincare line? (their own brand) Would you recommend it?? Or, What are things you would recommend from the Sephora store? Or, What are things you would recommend from the drugstore either in the beauty section or not? (Like Bioderma, La Roche-Posay) Please I'm like overwhelmed by all this stuff and just need some guidance ! I have dry (potentially even dehydrated skin), somewhat sensitive skin, and I just need something that is actually moisturizing.
I try so hard not to use the drying lotion, but for those deep never coming to a head zits- it’s my guilt pleasure. Although I do try to find alternative brands without talc now
Use the Buffering Lotion for the undergrounders that don’t come to a head. It will dry them out before they come up. Drying lotion is best used on White Head form pimples. Instead of popping, you spot treat.
Hey hun hope your doing well.. For me this has nothing to do with fragrance but all to do with the damage they did to people through their illegal actions.. The same guy owns it and same team are in place so no matter what they do with their fragrance products they would never get a cent of my money.. They are gutter brand for sure.. Sending you lots of love xx
I think if the company is showing that they are trying to do better, by making cleaner products that is a good sign. People aren’t perfect, but if change is happening for the good, I think the public should recognize that and try and move forward and stop dragging their name through the mud.
There is no way in hell I would trust this brand with my skin. There are many reputable brands that don't knowingly put steroids in their creams to destroy people's skin. They are very very dodgy!
Bingo. Seeing so many people here rave about the brand is so sad and depressing. It's okay to use whatever product from whatever brand they want, as it's no one's business but their own, but I said it elsewhere: all these people here saying they have moral and ethical standards while still supporting this crap, the same people who shame others for using a product that isn't vegan/cruelty-free/environmentally friendly, are epic hypocrites who better remember this the next time they try to take the moral high ground.
@@MadAboutSkin Exactly, there is no way you can trust this company. It is not like the Korean or US sunscreen scandals where the companies thought they were doing right but that was a mishap with manufacturing .This company knew they were doing wrong from the start and were profiting from it and ruining people's skin to boot.
They’re working extremely hard to create clean beauty products like this facial spray.. they have launched a mineral sunscreen (amazing) two new dye free fragrance free cleansers, two new serums, a new gel cream moisturizer and two new clean beauty body products… so good…
I got this in a subscription box and really like it. I knew lots of influencers don’t like the brand, so I came here to find out why. It didn’t realize this was a brand new offering.
Love the love for facial mists. I use them personally as self care to refresh and “restart” my day. I can’t wait to try any you would recommend as a fellow skintellectual. Love your content!
I actually love facial spray but I stopped using them like two years ago because I used to use the Mario one so I’m actually excited to buy and try that one along with the supergoop one that you recommended!
I love love love facial sprays! Not this line though because they always smell repulsive or like it's from the 80s; however, I'm willing to give this specific spray a try!
Personalmente, la opinión de Hyram no me interesa, pero por lo menos está marca está tratando de adaptarse o mejorar porque saben que se quedaron muuuy atrás en comparación con otras marcas. Aunque no la compraría.
I personally don’t use facial sprays but have been intrigued by Lavien Micro Collagen Mist Essence which I intend to try since it contains 62% hydrolyzed collagen extract.
I have LRP Thermal Spring Water Spray. After I cleanse and pat when I get out of the shower and apply 2 things can I mist with it and follow up with my moisturizer? Been working on my dry skin.
I don't hate their products overall, there are a couple of good ones. I don't really need the drying lotion anymore. That being said, while I have enjoyed the sprays the smell has started to bother me so I'm definitely gonna go for this
I looovvveeee facial sprays and my fave is the Omorovicza one even though it's extortionately expensive the mister is stunning and my dry skin loves it
In india we used to make her infused hair oils... Different herbs are added in the oil which promotes hair growth and then heated for a while and later strained... Will these actually promote hair growth... Can the herbs can really penetrate the scalp..
I just purchased the glycolic acid from this brand I only used it twice. Now I’m scared to continue using it!! Is it safe to continue applying it on my face ? Please I need a response. Thanks
It’s totally safe. Alcohol free and only a 2 percent glycolic. It’s made for combo/dry skin. Unless you have a reaction to the dye, you will be just fine
I use them when my face feels dry or tired. Usually first thing on the morning before or after my make up. Before bed, after work. It's like a glass of sparkling water for your face
I'm not gonna lie but I have a soft spot for the rose scented spray. That being said, my absolute favorite facial spray is the Cosrx Centella Water Toner. It's light weight and hydrating. I use it with Snail Mucin Essence and keeps my skin hydrated during the winter months.
While shopping at Ulta the other day, they gave it a free sample. I had just watched your video on not liking the brand so I was very very curious. I’ve been using it and I do like the spray. They also have a cleanser that’s OK. It does foam, but it’s OK. I use the epicurean foaming cleanser so of course they cannot compare.
Have you done a video on adaptogens? I have never heard of this term until now tbh. Not that I can try this product, I'm allergic to coconut, but if adaptogens are something to consider I'm curious if there are other products out there that feature adaptogens!
You can judge me as much as you would like to (it is your job after all), I do like some of the Mario Badescu product and I use do them for quite some time. I have to say I do love your videos (not agree with everything you say, but I still love them), your analysis are excellent, information extremely useful and if I need any information about any brands I do search your videos first.
You don't need to feel bad for using products she dislikes, skincare is personal and as long as your skin isn't damaged because of any products do whatever feels good for you.
Honestly, Hyrem also needs to innovate a little. His every video is same (fragrance equals bad for 10 minutes), and honestly the whole fragrance is bad is just a pseudo science and nothing more at this point.
@@shauni1987 they aren’t though? It’s like in the top 5 reasons people leave work early (I can’t remember exactly off the top of my head but it was a European study)
I'm still scared after the steroid lawsuit. I don't mind the fragrance and I'm one of those people that actually LOVE rosewater because I think rosewater is beneficial to our skin considering The Royals used it for centuries. But to me it's extremely scary to not disclose the steroids on their face creams. I've never been scared to try a product in my life before. I legit don't trust them still.
I recently ordered a full size Enzyme Cleansing Gel, after using up a travel size. It's perfect for my AM cleanse. Seriously considering ordering the Aloe Moisturizer SPF 15. And, yes, I have all of the sprays depending on my mood. 😛

Unpopular opinion - I don’t care about Hyram or any of his opinion mainly after his own skin care fiasco and white savior persona
💯
what skin care fiasco?? i thought his line was successful??
Who cares what hyram thinks? Is he any sort of specialist in cosmetology? Didn't think so. I don't care for fragrances but damn, let's not act like it's the most harmful thing in the world because some internet boy said so lmao
Unfortunately he is the James Charles of skincare. Gen Z and tiktok are obsessed
Fragrance is such I villain now that skincare has become popular. No one paid attention 10 years ago weather their face cream has fragrance or not , or where a certain ingredient is situated on the ingredients list.
It's good to know what products are best for you but this obsession with fragrance and ingredients has made everyone think that they have a dermatology degree just because they listen to a white boy on TH-cam.
yeah I don't think brands should be crucified in such a way...
Omg i was thinking of trying the hyram products but after watching his clip here omg so much cringe f no
AGREED! the ingredient list only tells u a small part of the story. He crucified LAncome too, but my skin thrives with Lancome
Their lip balm is something I can’t live without. It’s the only thing that helps and doesn’t somehow make my lips drier like most do. Highly recommend
Is the rose one just as good?
Cass I like you a lot and learned so much from you and i TOTALLY get what you are referring too when you refer to clean beauty but at the same time, can we give people space to put whatever they feel comfortable with on their bodies? I feel like you can still explain about the fear mongering but if thats someone's thing just let them do it??? We also def dont have lots of data how many products (clean or not) act on the environment so I often lean towards SOME clean brands.
I think that's the point, people can use whatever works for them, she just reminds us that "clean" is not a real thing so if that marketing is the only reason you are using a product you might want to recomsider. Being informed helps you make better decisions for ypurself and not spread misinformation.
@@morgianasartre6709 I understand and agreed with the marketing issue but there is definitely an element of mockery from certain youtubers about certain brands and "natural" products.
@@missbeaussie I think the mockery element comes as a reaction to people who are actively spreading misinformation like Gweneth Paltrow who has built an industry on it and brands that use it to sell based on fear, not the regular people who happen to buy into it.
Sorry, I will NEVER patronize a company who illegally and surreptitiously put damaging steroids in a product.
Higher than prescription level too. People used products that a chemist would recommend to use for a week for YEARS. Criminals.
Doris - your eyes are STUNNING!!!
I have eczema and their rosewater spray actually helps to stop the flare-up. I remember the skin on my hands was boiling up yet again and flaky, the rosewater spray was within reach - yes I sprayed it on my hands. It worked to calm it. Just wanted to share because with the eczema and having 'eczema-friendly' products cause me flare-ups, I was terrified to have anything on my hands for the longest time. But this spray does work to soothe and hydrate my skin (I can feel it when I close my palms) and it doesn't hurt to try 👍
I use the Peach and LILY face spray and I am in love with it
I use the peach slices one, its owned by the same people! I use the acne control one
7:25 Cassandra is an absurdly beautiful woman. See how her shoulders ARE the most stunning. Oh those eyes!!!
I’m 40 now, but the first time I saw a MB spray, it was in my oldest brothers toiletry kit. I think I was a pre-teen or teenager. I personally like Mario’s sprays, will likely check out this fragrance free one but I’m like your co-worker and like to smell nice lol. I just picked up a MB caffeine eye cream this week that I’ve been using. So far so good!
Hyram isn't the only one who trashed this brand and it looks like they have finally jumped on the "clean" beauty train.
It's good that brands are offering both fragrance and fragrance-free options to carter to a wider audience.
I love a good facial spray but I gravitate to ones that have ceramides, squalane, etc. in them but I do enjoy some of my products to have a nice scent to them.
Looking forward to the deepdive on Mario. The video's exposing the beauty industry makes me a better consumer and avoid brands that do not match my morals in life.
I’ve been using the drying lotion for spots for 30 years. I tried the Kate Somerville one and it’s feels like the EXACT same thing for more money. Their other products have all been “meh” for me. Reasonably priced, but not the luxury experience I look for in my skin care routine.
I think they have different active ingredients but good that you like it
I use the kate smoerville one simply because it's larger lmao
I actually really like the Mario badescu rose water facial spray… my skin isn’t very sensitive, and idk if it actually does anything but it sure feels nice! I’ll have to keep an eye out at Ulta for this new one :)
I love it too… it’s a great prep and set for makeup. Hydrating as well, and if you’re not sensitive to dyes or fragrance, then there’s nothing wrong with using it. ❤
I’m not a fan of this brand either, but people are too scared of Hyram. He’s not god.
Interesting.. I didn't know any of the negative back story. I love the cucumber spray moisturizer 🤷♂
Please talk about the super goop suncreen spray!! Or other products that are good for reapplying spf throughout the day. Me and my mom have both been looking for a product that allows us to reapply suncreen throughout the day without ruining our makeup. She found a bare minerals powder foundation with spf, but I want something like a translucent powder or spray with spf that won't change my makeup at all but would add spf.
She actually has several videos on this already.
There is the Garnier Ambre Solaire Over Makeup Super UV Protection Mist SPF50, I think you can find it in drugstores. I haven't tried it yet, found out about it online. I hope this helps 😊
@@geosephine I used it. I didnt like it at all! it makes your face greasy and the makeup looks even worse after you apply it. I dont even use a lot of make up but my face looks (I only use tinted sunscreen/moisteriser) cakey and greasy after a few sprits :( I heard good things about the La roche posay one tho... I have to try that one out yet
What do you think of the ceramide moisturizer and ceramide eye cream ? I know you’re not a fan of eye creams but it helped me with my dark circles
Cassandra, I have a question: if you spray this during the day over your make up, do you get any benefits from the niacinamide and sodium hyaluronate? Since it's going on over make up?
Good question
I wanted to know if you use this during the day it must be ok to spray over sunscreen, do you have to re apply sunscreen after?
I'm glad that Hyram managed to effect some posotive change because he does come out with alot of crap, especially about preservatives and hyaluronic acid.
I actually have a few Mario Badescu products which includes 2 of the face sprays and what I do is use them as room spray because they are so so fragranced
Can you please review all of peach and lily products please 😩
Did Hyram get to Mario Badescu? I think the more appropriate question is do we, or Mario Badescu, care? No.
I have all of Marios Facial Sprays from over the years and I just use them up. I won't rebuy after realising there are better ones, but I love a cool spritz in the summer heat, here in Australia.
I'm currently using the NIOD face mist. I like it but are face mists necessary? What is their purpose?
What do you think of selected skincare any thoughts?
Yes! I'm looking for Dr. Dray's opinion about this as well before I purchase. I really just need a hydrating mist to apply my other skincare. I'm will be 45 in a less than 45 days and recently moved to a region with hard water. Needless to say, I need hydration. Was thinking of purchasing a thermal spring water spray but would love and appreciate advice of which one to invest in. P.S. I had my husband install a water filter because my hair and skin can definitely feel the difference hard water has on me.
Honestly after just reading the details of the court case, I'm surprised you gave this product any air time.
You know she got some 💵💵
I bought this today at ULTA, admittedly I was super nervous based on most of their other products will see how it goes 🤞🏼
i dont f with them but i got the peptide serum in a sample kit.....and i loved it...i did not want to....but i do...so happy they are trying to change.
Ok.. so just left a comment for hyram. I'm not a troll or hating. I appreciate that you found something great in this line and I understand that every brand does not possess all great products. I just happen to be satisfied with all that I have purchased. I'm not as young as you so I don't use the same products. But I have been really pleased with the ones I have. I did get a sample pack of facial sprays which I liked. It did not include this one I think. Not sure if it's right for my skin or not but I will look into it.
The brand did not disclose having a banned substance in their ingredient list before this. How sure are you that the new line of products do not have banned steroids? Do watch Mad About Skin’s take on this
Hi Cassandra!
Have you ever looked at Sephora's skincare line? (their own brand) Would you recommend it?? Or,
What are things you would recommend from the Sephora store? Or,
What are things you would recommend from the drugstore either in the beauty section or not? (Like Bioderma, La Roche-Posay)
Please I'm like overwhelmed by all this stuff and just need some guidance !
I have dry (potentially even dehydrated skin), somewhat sensitive skin, and I just need something that is actually moisturizing.
I try so hard not to use the drying lotion, but for those deep never coming to a head zits- it’s my guilt pleasure. Although I do try to find alternative brands without talc now
Use the Buffering Lotion for the undergrounders that don’t come to a head. It will dry them out before they come up. Drying lotion is best used on White Head form pimples. Instead of popping, you spot treat.
Hey hun hope your doing well.. For me this has nothing to do with fragrance but all to do with the damage they did to people through their illegal actions.. The same guy owns it and same team are in place so no matter what they do with their fragrance products they would never get a cent of my money.. They are gutter brand for sure.. Sending you lots of love xx
I think if the company is showing that they are trying to do better, by making cleaner products that is a good sign. People aren’t perfect, but if change is happening for the good, I think the public should recognize that and try and move forward and stop dragging their name through the mud.
It ain’t just Hyram. Many skin influencers before have always talked negatively of the brand for the same reason
I really love using Mario Badescu SA body wash and I also use their glycolic face wash on my body.
I enjoyed the video! Thank you
i would love a video on your top facial spray picks!!!❤️
There is no way in hell I would trust this brand with my skin. There are many reputable brands that don't knowingly put steroids in their creams to destroy people's skin. They are very very dodgy!
Bingo. Seeing so many people here rave about the brand is so sad and depressing. It's okay to use whatever product from whatever brand they want, as it's no one's business but their own, but I said it elsewhere: all these people here saying they have moral and ethical standards while still supporting this crap, the same people who shame others for using a product that isn't vegan/cruelty-free/environmentally friendly, are epic hypocrites who better remember this the next time they try to take the moral high ground.
@@sluttymctits4496 yep agree with you 100%.
Amen to this.. Same people in charge and nothing has changed.. They don't deserve one dime of our money x
@@MadAboutSkin Exactly, there is no way you can trust this company. It is not like the Korean or US sunscreen scandals where the companies thought they were doing right but that was a mishap with manufacturing .This company knew they were doing wrong from the start and were profiting from it and ruining people's skin to boot.
They’re working extremely hard to create clean beauty products like this facial spray.. they have launched a mineral sunscreen (amazing) two new dye free fragrance free cleansers, two new serums, a new gel cream moisturizer and two new clean beauty body products… so good…
I got this in a subscription box and really like it. I knew lots of influencers don’t like the brand, so I came here to find out why. It didn’t realize this was a brand new offering.
Love the love for facial mists. I use them personally as self care to refresh and “restart” my day. I can’t wait to try any you would recommend as a fellow skintellectual. Love your content!
I actually love facial spray but I stopped using them like two years ago because I used to use the Mario one so I’m actually excited to buy and try that one along with the supergoop one that you recommended!
Girl you are the only one I listen to ❤️
I love the spray and the dry pimple lotion I been using it for years I can't complain for my skin.
I love Doris’ pop up review!
My family and I have allergies and sensitive skin so we don't use 90% of products. (I have medical problems with my skin, too.)
How would the facial spray be used? This one seems very interesting to use
Use this particular one under and over moisturizer.. and throughout the day to refresh
I love love love facial sprays! Not this line though because they always smell repulsive or like it's from the 80s; however, I'm willing to give this specific spray a try!
Personalmente, la opinión de Hyram no me interesa, pero por lo menos está marca está tratando de adaptarse o mejorar porque saben que se quedaron muuuy atrás en comparación con otras marcas. Aunque no la compraría.
I take hydrating toners & put in a spray bottle... there’s way more options & saves a ton of money.
I personally don’t use facial sprays but have been intrigued by Lavien Micro Collagen Mist Essence which I intend to try since it contains 62% hydrolyzed collagen extract.
Recently ordered this spray and really like it 👍🏼. I can’t stand fragranced skincare!
I think they made it for Hyram, we know he loves niacinamide and this would be great for his skin
I have LRP Thermal Spring Water Spray. After I cleanse and pat when I get out of the shower and apply 2 things can I mist with it and follow up with my moisturizer? Been working on my dry skin.
I don't hate their products overall, there are a couple of good ones. I don't really need the drying lotion anymore. That being said, while I have enjoyed the sprays the smell has started to bother me so I'm definitely gonna go for this
I looovvveeee facial sprays and my fave is the Omorovicza one even though it's extortionately expensive the mister is stunning and my dry skin loves it
In india we used to make her infused hair oils... Different herbs are added in the oil which promotes hair growth and then heated for a while and later strained... Will these actually promote hair growth... Can the herbs can really penetrate the scalp..
I just purchased the glycolic acid from this brand I only used it twice. Now I’m scared to continue using it!! Is it safe to continue applying it on my face ? Please I need a response. Thanks
It’s totally safe. Alcohol free and only a 2 percent glycolic. It’s made for combo/dry skin. Unless you have a reaction to the dye, you will be just fine
@@laurendwyer8445 Thank you for your answer!! I used it once and since then i didn't use it again. but now i feel i can give it another try
How do you use facial sprays or when do you use them?... I'm so lost on facial sprays. 😩
I use them when my face feels dry or tired. Usually first thing on the morning before or after my make up. Before bed, after work. It's like a glass of sparkling water for your face
I'm not gonna lie but I have a soft spot for the rose scented spray. That being said, my absolute favorite facial spray is the Cosrx Centella Water Toner. It's light weight and hydrating. I use it with Snail Mucin Essence and keeps my skin hydrated during the winter months.
While shopping at Ulta the other day, they gave it a free sample. I had just watched your video on not liking the brand so I was very very curious. I’ve been using it and I do like the spray. They also have a cleanser that’s OK. It does foam, but it’s OK. I use the epicurean foaming cleanser so of course they cannot compare.
Have you done a video on adaptogens? I have never heard of this term until now tbh. Not that I can try this product, I'm allergic to coconut, but if adaptogens are something to consider I'm curious if there are other products out there that feature adaptogens!
They also made a face wash for sensitive skin and fragrance free sis
Hello everyone
You can judge me as much as you would like to (it is your job after all), I do like some of the Mario Badescu product and I use do them for quite some time. I have to say I do love your videos (not agree with everything you say, but I still love them), your analysis are excellent, information extremely useful and if I need any information about any brands I do search your videos first.
You don't need to feel bad for using products she dislikes, skincare is personal and as long as your skin isn't damaged because of any products do whatever feels good for you.
Honestly, Hyrem also needs to innovate a little. His every video is same (fragrance equals bad for 10 minutes), and honestly the whole fragrance is bad is just a pseudo science and nothing more at this point.
I mean allergies aren't psuedo science
@@missbeaussie i didnt say they were. But they are extremely rare.
@@shauni1987 they aren’t though? It’s like in the top 5 reasons people leave work early (I can’t remember exactly off the top of my head but it was a European study)
I'm still scared after the steroid lawsuit. I don't mind the fragrance and I'm one of those people that actually LOVE rosewater because I think rosewater is beneficial to our skin considering The Royals used it for centuries.
But to me it's extremely scary to not disclose the steroids on their face creams. I've never been scared to try a product in my life before. I legit don't trust them still.
the company is still shady af, not getting my money ever:)
Now they should make the green spray mist into a perfume bc it’s so good
I love the haru haru mist for between skin care steps. How does this new One compare to that?
Isn’t she sooo pretty 😍
I recently ordered a full size Enzyme Cleansing Gel, after using up a travel size. It's perfect for my AM cleanse. Seriously considering ordering the Aloe Moisturizer SPF 15. And, yes, I have all of the sprays depending on my mood. 😛
High price skincare products mostly are heavenly fragranced
Have you tried their CLARIFYING SERUM WITH AZELAIC ACID?
Honestly I love the super goop spray. Sunscreen for the win.
