Astringents are very important once in a while, and i heard this one is a good one so I tried it and I think it is pretty good, and comes in big amounts.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cure for acne, or a close as you'll get over the counter.

Never chase zits. Just treat your problem areas with this every day after your shower. Don't use cotton balls. Just pour into hand and splash on face, chest, back, neck etc. Wherever you have problem areas. Zits start well before you see them so don't skip days and don't gague results for at least three weeks after you start using this product. It's very effective if used liberally and often.
I have genetics for bad acne so I've been battling for decades and this is my favorite over the counter method. I've kept my skin extremely clear when i stay on top of this routine.

I loved the Biore astringent so much but for some reason Amazon doesn't sell it anymore. So I tried this and for me, it seems a little too strong. I don't touch my eyes with it obviously but the aroma kind of irritates my eyes. Otherwise it works as advertised.

I'm not loving this product. It feels like burning my skin if a rub it too much. (...and I dont have sensitive skin) Soo, be careful.

***UPDATE***
Im still using this product. I figured out to only apply it on my T-zone and I like it. It does treat pimples and Acne. Regarding the burning sensation, not sure if my skin is now used to the formula, but i dont feel it anymore. I'll rate it 5 stars now.

3.0 out of 5 stars Messes with oil production

Drying in the short run (immediately after applying), increases oil production over the long run (over the course of the day), but helps control breakouts.

I'm 54 and never really had an acne problem until about a year ago (hormones?) I tried everything to control it with no good results. Thought I would give this a try. After two weeks of using this product, my face is nearly acne free. I dab it on with a cotton ball at night and moisturize with some unrefined coconut oil in the morning. I couldn't be happier.

4.0 out of 5 stars GREAT for makeup removal
Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2016

I like to use this toner after washing my face & before I moisturize. It shocks me how much makeup is still on my skin after washing that the astringent gets off. Recommend for anyone who wears heavy facial makeup to help remove & clean pours.

Good stuff, dries out my pimples. No miracle worker as far as the acne goes.

2.0 out of 5 stars Smell is TOO strong
Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2018
Verified Purchase
I usually by the Biore toner/astringent but since that one was unavailable I thought I'd try this. First thing is that it has a very very strong alcoholic smell. Even a quick swipe with a cotton pad means I have to hold my breath for like 15 seconds. And forget about going near the nose. I think it works, but the smell will prevent me from buying this again.
