Helped to reduce redness
I was excited to try the Milani Clean Start Prep Step Facial Mist because it claims to help reduce redness, which is something I'm always looking for since I have rosacea. Right off the bat, I appreciated that the spray came out evenly, not in big droplets or a harsh stream. It took a couple of minu...

Maybe as a workout spray
I've tested the facial mist of Milani, the Clean Start prep step but it's not a must-have for me. The mist feels nice and light on the skin, it leaves a balanced feel on my skin without being sticky or heavy, but the first times I had a redness, which was a strange reaction since it should do the op...

This scent-free facial mist is really hydrating and refreshing, and I love how it helps my makeup apply more smoothly. I especially like the mister which has a great mist (rare in most prepping/setting sprays!) but I wouldn't say that apart from those things, the formula/product is exceptional or a must buy. At the end of the day, it's mostly water so if your current makeup and skincare routine already incorporates products within hyaluronic acid, this product won't do much more for you. It's a fun product for your makeup routine but definitely not essential.

The Milani Clean Start Prep Step Facial Mist is gentle, fragrance-free, and super refreshing. It contains hypochlorous acid, which helps calm and cleanse the skin without irritation. I love using it before makeup or skincare—it makes my face feel clean without drying it out. The mist is fine and even, and the bottle is compact enough to carry around. Great for sensitive or acne-prone skin. For the price, it's a solid, clean prep step that actually does something.
Amazing for redness!

This is my new favorite step to my skin care routine. It has Hypochlorous Acid which helps reduce redness, irritation, and clears your skin. I have acne prone skin with lots of scars. This helps when my face is inflamed and brings down the redness. I use it after washing my face before I apply any other skin care. I will also use it during the day when I need a refresher. I feel comfortable with the ingredients and there is no scent.
Hydrating and mildly scented

I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review. The Milani Clean Start Prep Step is a decent mist that provides adequate hydration. It does have a noticeable fragrance, which isn't my personal preference, though it's mild and not overpowering. I received a travel-sized version and will continue using it for that purpose, but I don't plan to repurchase once it's finished.
