Loading ...Laugh At Them: They’re Using Evian Facial Spray
Tuesday, 11, November 11th, 2008 | 10
People who want others to laugh at them should order the Evian facial spray. Evian sells a useful useless product called “Mineral spray” for around $10. Apparently it revives, e.g. moisturizes your face. Duh, obviously it revives your face, it’s water! The question is if you want to pay that much money or just go to the restroom.
The real cool people get the limited edition “Evian Paris Fashion” or “Evian New York Nights”.
From the website: Evian’s delightful cool mist rehydrates skin suffering from overheated or dry office air. It also revives your makeup throughout the day, and keeps you looking fresh by replenishing that much needed moisture.

We are the US distributor of Evian Facial Spray and would like to try to change your impression of our product. First, we have distributed Evian Facial Spray since 1978 to stores like Nordstrom and Sephora and thousands of others. Clearly, no product could stay alive for 30 years if it did not offer benefits that consumers value. Tap water often contains flourides and chlorine–neither are good for skin. Furthermore, tap waters are often very hard–meaning they are heavily mineralized often with minerals like sodium that are bad for skin. Evian Facial Spray is a soft water and only contains minerals that have a beneficial effect on skin. Our spray, powered by nitrogen (80% of each breath one takes is nitrogen–20% oxygen) delivers Evian water in micro-droplets that can be absorbed by the skin. Tap water, splashed on the face cannot be easily absorbed. Our consumers swear by our product because it can be carried on a plane (TSA has approved our 1.7 oz. size), is sealed and cannot leak, has too many varied uses to list, and, if used every day, produces younger looking skin over time. It also helps improve the performance of any other skin care product used with it, as well as any color cosmetic as it is often used to “set” color cosmetics and refresh them during the day.
We hope you will re-consider us or, better yet, give us a try!

fact is that on a long haul flight this stuff is great.

You mean like the refreshing towels they give you?
Yes, they’re great and free.
I wouldn’t spend so much money on water, no matter how “great” it is.

Oh that is so silly. You take a goddamn shower in tap water and then mist your face with spring water? Absolutely absurd.

This product is great and anyone who blatantly makes a comment about it before understanding it is foolish and uneducated. I am glad some people on this post understand the composition behind water and the differences with mineral content, pH etc. As a PhD in chemistry I can tell you that this does hydrate and having used it for years can say it works great.
Anyone that laughs is doing so at their own ignorance.

I have very dry, sensitive skin. After reading THE SKIN TYPE SOLUTION, which recommended using this product to rinse one’s face as part of one’s daily skin routine, I decided to try it (along with the other recommendations). I’ve been using the product for about 2+ weeks and the dryness is gone and the redness is reduced. I don’t spray my face throughout the day. I use the product twice per day — a.m. and p.m. cleansing routine. Worked for me.

I kept it by my bedside when I was going through menopause. One little spray-hot flash was gone and I was back to sleep without getting out of bed.

I’m glad to see others chiming in here in defense of this product. Look, I freely admit it sounds ridiculous at first, but I’m a convert. I bought a bottle of Evian face spray at the airport before boarding an 8hr flight with my small son. I did an eyeroll at the fact that it was Evian, but I thought it might be useful if he needed his face or hands washed during the flight without having to drag him to the restroom or bother a flight attendant. I don’t know it was because we were overseas or what, but I only paid about $5 for this. Admittedly, if it had been $10, I probably would have passed.
Well, we used the bottle a couple of times on the flight. It’s not been more than six months, and I’m STILL using the same bottle. It will run out sometime soon I guess, but I can’t say I haven’t gotten my money’s worth. It had a number of good uses, not the least of which is to keep it in the glovebox of the car for long drives. My husband used it quite a few times while weathering a stomach flu. A cool spray feels great if your feverish or queasy.
