Q: Will the spray effect color treated hair if you get on hair while spraying face?

submitted by Amy - 2 months ago
  • A: Hello, thank you for contacting Milani! Our Clean Start Prep Step Hypochlorous Acid Facial Mist is formulated for skin and is gentle, but we recommend avoiding direct contact with hair to prevent any potential effect on color treated strands. Light misting on the face should not affect hair if it is kept out of the spray’s path. We hope this helps you enjoy your skincare routine with confidence. XO, Milani Cosmetics

Q: I don’t have oily skin on my face, my skin is sensitive and very dry. I read that products like this can help with razor burn/ingrown hairs. Is this strong enough to use on the body, or is the concentration too minimal? Thanks!!!

submitted by Becksstein - 2 months ago
  • A: Hello, thank you for contacting Milani! Our Clean Start Prep Step Hypochlorous Acid Facial Mist is formulated with a mild concentration designed for the delicate skin on your face. While it can help soothe irritation, it may be too gentle to fully address razor burn or ingrown hairs on larger areas of the body. For body use, you may want to consider products specifically formulated for post-shave care or body irritation. Always patch test first to ensure comfort on sensitive skin. We hope this helps you find the best solution for your skin needs. XO, Milani

  • A: Hello, thank you for your inquiry! We value your interest in the details of our formulations and appreciate your diligence in comparing products. Our specific percentages and pH levels are proprietary information and considered trade secrets.

    Leave face feeling fresh and clean

    I got this as my monthly freebie and I’m glad I did …I do my normal routine in the morning shower wash face , milky toner, moisturize , then I apply this before makeup application but I do let it dry a bit since it is wet … I’m 36 more on the oily side and I feel like it keeps my face clean so I don’t break out.

    Very nice hydrating mist I find myself reaching for this, especially during this dry winter and using it before moisturizer and sometimes a few times lightly over make up. It’s fine enough missed where it just gives a nice little glow and doesn’t run. I got it as part of the target circle bonus but I would buy this again because I have dry skin and I like it and also because it’s not runny & my skin seems to like it after using it for a few weeks.

    Food value for price

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think it’s okay. Easy to use and sprays evenly. I’m not a fan of the smell but otherwise works fine. Although I don’t notice a huge difference but the value is good for the price.

    Amazing

    I got this as a monthly freebie pick and am so happy I did. I have rosacea and since using the product just a few times,the redness has reduced noticeably. Pores are smaller and texture has improved. I can use just a compact makeup instead of foundation also. And it stays put. No need for me to powder throughout the day. Love it.

    nice mist

    This is a very fine mist that feels good on the face before putting on all of my creams. I'm not sure if it is doing anything as I just started using it but I will keep at it

    I love how light the product is! It was a great product to try and I can see myself trying it again in the future. I tend to use primers for oily skin, as mine is extremely oily, but this may be good for summer!

    Not bad!

    I was hesitant based on some of the negative reviews, but it did not make me break out at all thankfully. I like using it at the end of my facial care routine, it gives me enough moisture to do a quick facial lymphatic drainage massage. I got it shipped to me and they put the little bottle into a huge box with a tiny bit of paper! Thankfully it did not crack or leak.

    I didn’t know what to expect from this when it was the Target freebie for March but I decided to try it anyway. I’m blown away! I’ve been using this morning and evening for several days and my skin has visibly improved so much. It goes on easily, absorbs quickly, and makes my skin feel clean and refreshed. I spray it on after washing and drying my face and that’s it!

    This facial spray wakes me UP in the morning. It is cool the moment you spray it on your face, and you look extremely hydrated. I was pretty impressed with this product. I did receive it as the Target 365 gift of the month, but definitely adding this to my shopping list when I run out in the future!
