Alicia Keys swears by this mist in every interview. I bought it expecting celebrity-branded tap water.
It’s not. But it’s also not magic — it’s a $22 bottle of glycerin, rose, and really good copywriting. That’s not a diss. The packaging is heavy glass (annoying for travel, beautiful for your vanity) and the scent is legit calming — like a spa that doesn’t play pan flutes.
It’s a hydrating face mist. $22 for 3.4 oz. The claim: “letting go of what doesn’t serve you” while also hydrating your skin. Sure.
Glycerin Base
Thicker than water. Actually hydrates instead of evaporating.
Rose Water + Sage
Smells expensive. Not cloying — more herbal than floral.
Crystal-infused Bottle
An amethyst gemstone sits in the bottle. Does it do anything? No. Do I like looking at it? Yes.

No fillers trying to be fancy. The ingredient list is short and actually purposeful. The rose water is the base, not an afterthought — so it’s not just fragrance water.
- Rose Water: Anti-inflammatory — calms redness fast
- Glycerin: Humectant that actually sticks around
- Sage Leaf Extract: Antibacterial — helps with texture
- Sodium PCA: Natural moisture factor — what your skin already makes

Mist is fine — not a jet stream, not a sad spritz. Sits on skin for 3 seconds, then absorbs. Leaves a slight tackiness that makeup grips onto well.
Week 2: I stopped using it as a “setting spray” and started using it as a first step after cleansing. Skin felt less tight. The ritual part is real — the sage smell forces you to take a breath.
Redness calmed down noticeably by day 4. Pores didn’t shrink (nothing shrinks pores). Skin felt plumper, but not dramatically — think “well-rested” not “facelift.”
It’s a well-made hydrating mist that earns its price. The celebrity name opens the door — the glycerin keeps you there. Just don’t expect the amethyst to fix your life.
