Honestly if you don't irritated skin, or the whether in your city is not "harsh", then I don't think you need it. It also depends on the type of water you have in your country. The water here is very "hard", so its drying. Since I live in Canada, the winters are so drying. The moisturizer i use in the summer doens't work well enough, my skin is still flakey. ..I have combination skin , so its the worst!!! So back to this thermal water. I was recommended by my hair dresser's wife because her daughter had acne and the avene line helped her. Well Avene products are just so expensive, so I decided to buy the Thermal water which everyone was raving about at Makeupalley.com I have used it for a few days now, and it has worked wonders!!! My face feels soft, no flakes, my acne is clearing (with the help of a little benzac which I have always been using but it is def. more effective now.) My skin is glowing. By saying it is just water, well it IS water, but it is a special source of water, and not tap water. Avene and La Roscha are the only brands that acutally given the "ok" by French Derm Ass. , neither Vichi nor Avien are. Acutally I bought a bottle of this stuff, and it works…

Stay tuned! And thanks for all your comments, you gals are great! I think with all the buzz about “water,” we might have to write a post specifically about what water does in personal care products.

At least you can get 3 for $15 and have them on hand for hot summer days. And water is moisture, right? The only thing that bothers me is the preposterous claims behind things like that.
