OMG!

My mother used to wipe this on my face as a kid when I was being too "messy" and I used to yell and she would have to chase me around with a cotton ball to finish the job. This stuff is just pure alcohol. You might as well rub some 151 or vodka on your face!

Only for super oily skin types

I come back to this after trying all other astringents because it's the strongest with 2% salicylic acid that really declogs my pores. For the price, it is worth it when I need to exfoliate my skin. It softens skin afterwards, so best not to put makeup on afterwards. Not for normal or dry skin types for sure. the fragrance is on the strong side that clashes with your perfume.

Not for me

I went to my local cvs to buy all my facial products. I decided to go with this toner and it is not what I expected. It's not gentle, it stings like crazy, my face turns a little red. I use moisturizer and the sting goes away though so it's fine. Not recommended for buying. Save your money and go for something else.

Oh, please, no.

This stuff is mostly alcohol with some pretty irritating essential oils. I remember this astringent really hurting my skin when I was a teenager. Try some apple cider vineger instead.

Good as an acne *treatment*

If you're looking for a daily facial toner, this isn't for you. It's like chemical warfare on your face. However, if you have oily skin and have been having problems getting rid of your breakouts, give it a shot. It is comparable to Noxzema's Triple Clean toner in strength but typically gives you more toner for your $ and doesn't have a strong camphor smell...but it definitely isn't "nice&quo...read moret; smelling. Also, you have to make sure you apply it gingerly: too much will make your skin feel sticky. Earlier this year I had a horrible breakout all over my forehead, cheeks, and chin that refused to go away. After trying out several benzoyl peroxide creams (which gave me an allergy-relate rash) and witch hazel (made everything worse!), I decided to give this a shot. For several months, I applied this with a cotton pad in the morning and at night, and all but the odd pimple has disappeared. I've switched to the regular yellow Sea Breeze now for daily use (less of a sting, smell), but if I have another breakout I'm definitely going for this.

bad!!!!

I don't like this product. I don't have sensitive skin at all, but this made my skin red and irritated.

Inflames my face!

While this product may work for others, for me it was a total disaster. I tried several applications of this product, but each time the result was the same. This astringent made my face turn red all over. My skin felt hot and stinging. I tried this product because of the simplicity (basic active ingredient) and low price, but I will never buy it again. I hope it worked better for others.
