Good To set makeup with
-09.19.11
This lightweight feeling hydrating spray comes in very handy when you need a quick moisture mist without having to apply heavy cream. I love that it also works as a makeup setting spray and it does work because I tested it out in very humid weather. I think this product would be perfect for winter weather when your face is always exposed to the harsh elements, you can carry it in your bag and mist your skin for on the go moisture anywhere.
Packaging: The spray comes packaged in this lovely innovative lilac rectangular spray bottle made out of this smooth rubbery material but not the sticky kind where debris would stick to it. The material is recyclable and if you don't have a recycling program in your area you can send the bottles to the company and they will recycle for you. Wonderful!
Formula: The formula is very lightweight and quickly absorbs into your skin. It contains hints of rose water, prickly pear, vanilla and grapefruit. The scent is very subtle but it contains roses and I'm sure I have blathered endlessly on my loathing of rose scents & roses altogether so it's a little bit of a turn off for me. But I have to state it's very faint and non intrusive, it's more of a personal quirk for me. It does make your skin feel refreshed and moist but then quickly drys which is great for not having shine but those with severe dry skin might not like this. Still it gives you a nice refreshed boost on the spot. The ingredients are chemical free, cruelty free and contain many naturals but it is not an organic product and the site states they feel the performance level would be less if the line were organic. I don't know if I agree with this because having used Beauty Without Cruelty I find they deliver what they promised.

REFRESHING
-01.12.11
Quick Take: refreshing, non-drying
This is great to spray on your face as a last step before you go out just to refresh your skin and make sure it doesn't dry out. I'm not sure if it is actually worth the price (it is water after all) but its a nice luxury item.

was not helpful with breakouts
-01.07.11
Quick Take: non-drying
I really wanted to like this product, but it did not help my dry breakout prone skin. I tried to use the entire skin care line by Nude because I liked the idea behind the brand. I ended up with many new breakouts.

Quick Take: non-drying
Smells good, feel good about not putting anything harmful on my face, but suspect it led to a few breakouts. This product used to work great, but now not so much. Maybe they changed the formula.

Yellowish liquid with some kind of nicotine
-11.16.10
Quick Take: not good
I don't know what sephora was thinking
bought this item and had few sprays
it smelled really bad
I thought it was just a smell
so I opened it up
and saw all this black powder that looked like nicotine
and the water was all yellow
it looked like it sat on a shelf for 10 years
can't believe they sold expired product
it was disgusting.............seriously

Great toner
-06.10.09
I've been using the nude line now for a little over a month and I'm glad I've found these products. I have oily skin (not horrible, but definitely not dry skin) and I use the face wash with the cleansing water and the moisture balance moisturizer. My skin is so smooth and soft and has been breaking out less since I started using this line but I find within a few hours my skin is not just oily, but even more oily than before. When I skip using the moisturizer in the morning it's not as bad but my skin is still more oily than usual. I'm not completely sure if it is because of this line or because I live in Florida. So it could just be that my skin gets more oily when it's summer and hot so that's a possibility too. I have a problem with tons of nasty blackheads on my nose and enlarged pores and I've noticed no improvement at all.
All in all, great line but not for you if you have issues with oily skin. I like the line and I don't find the smells of any of the products offensive (I don't know why so many complain). I will buy again when I run out because I'm pretty happy with this line and it took me so long to find a line of products that kept the amount of nasty ingredients to a minimum.

Quick Take: refreshing, acne treating
I really love this water! In the past, I used benzoyl peroxide to treat my acne and it dried my oily skin out. I get the same results with Nude's Clarifying water + it brightens my complexion. In my state of poverty, I will still shell out money for this. It is well worth the price.

Wonderful Company for the Wash
-05.25.09
Quick Take: refreshing, non-drying
I am really impressed with the Nude products. I bought the clarifying face wash - LOVE it! I bought this to go with it and I really like it too. I smells very earthy natural in a wonderful way. It does not sting or irritate in any way. I am using Retin-A which makes your skin very sensitive and peely in the beginning stages and this does not aggrivate that. I have oily/combination/acne prone skin. Hope this helps! The duo is really unique and worth noting.

I am not sure if I see any improvement in my complexion but I love how it removes more gunk and dirt from my face after cleansing. It has a weird smell, yellow/greenish tint. But great price for the size.

Quick Take: non-drying
i have sensitive acne prone oily skin. this made my skin feel smooth and somewhat clean. it smells like jasmine flowers. it made my skin sting a little but thank god did not make me red like most products do. im keeping it because its twice the amount for the same price as the arcona cranberry i was using. but its not as good for keeping my acne calm enough. so im just keeping this as a backup. not sure if ill buy again but ill give it a try.

I just started using the Nude line and this is an excellent product. I have tried MANY well known brands and this is the first and only product line that has made my skin look this great. This product line has turned my uneven skin into great looking skin even with no makeup.

This is the best toner I have ever used. It cleans super deep, but it doesn't dry out my skin in the slightest, which is a first for me. I can feel it working, but it doesn't burn or sting, again a first. I will definitely buy this again!!

Nude's Clarifying Water is one of the best toners I've used in a long time. I'm always looking for new and better products and I've found one in this toner. After washing my face, you wouldn't believe the dirt and makeup that this toner still gets out of my pores after washing my skin thoroughly. This really gets my oily skin super clean and refreshed. This toner is outstanding and I'd recommend it highly to everybody.
