Pros Cleared up oil on my face and shrunk my pimples
Cons Stings a little but it's worth it
Bottom line I've only used this for a day but I feel like I can already see improvements. I guess I'll have to keep using it for a week before I can be sure. My sister never gets pimples and she says this is what helps her to make sure she stays pimple-free. For me, it's a little too late to have perfect skin because I have so many red marks left behind but at least I won't have new pimples. You should definitely try it. Even if it doesn't work, it's only a couple of dollars so it's worth the risk.

Pros I love this product - have used it for sometime - why can't I find it anymore - hsa it been discontinued? If so, WHY???? Give me back my toner that I love.
Cons can;t find it anymore - what's wrong?
Bottom line If Neutrogena has discontinued this product they need a new marketing person - it works great!

Pros Effectively removes makeup; evens and brightens skin tone. Feels great!
Cons Cannot buy this locally anymore. Walgreens discontinued. CVS and Walmart do not have. Where to find it other than online is a real problem.
Bottom line This has worked wonders for my skin.I hope the manufacturer will work to make this great toner available locally again. I intend to use it for years to come.

Pros It made my skin glow, first time using a toner. I have combo skin, and the beauty consultant recommended I try it out for 2 wks, every night and see if I see change, and it worked
Cons made my skin a little red when I first started using it, but went away right after
Bottom line I like using this product it worked for me, as I have a oily T-zone, and my pores have gotten, a lot smaller since I started using it, I would reccomended it,
Price paid $9.47

Pros I LOVE the refreshing scent of this product; very clean... It refines your pores and makes them appear smaller.. evens out skin tone and gives a healthy glow with regular use..
Cons can be slightly harsh on sensitive skin, and skin tends to get more oily once outside (..but maybe thats just Florida humidity ^_^)
Bottom line If you have severe acne (which I used to..), don't use it after a big breakout or on open skin.. it can sting and get red and be irritating, but tones down after a little. The glycolic acid also helps stop any zits that may be forming.
*Advice:
1) start using it just once a day and work your way up to twice a day, morning and night as it says to. if you just go straight into using it twice a day it can irritate.
2) don't give up on it if it doesn't even out your skintone right away, your skin takes about 28 days to regenerate a new layer and with continued use of this toner I found my skin to look 110% more even toned with a healthy glow!! very pleasing
3) Definately use an oil-free sunscreen with this.. it can make your skin sensitive to the sun.. 8-)

Pros Easy to Apply, Cools skin, Instantly Tightens, Inexpensive, Lot's of product in the bottle, reduces the size of the pores on your face, tones down redness.
Cons none I have experienced
Bottom line I have large pores and minor rosacia on my face, and this product toned down both on my face after the first use! I also use it on my upper arms since I get those little bumps there that are also red, and it has really toned down the redness and eliminated most scars and bumping on them! It also works well on different areas of your body, not just your face.

Pros This product has offered a good solution at an affordable price. Pro Active is an really good product but expensive. This product works just as well for a fraction of hte cost and a lot less irritation.
Cons This refiner does cause the skin to shine after each use...
Bottom line I will continue to use this product. I will suggest for us with sensitive skin to alternate this product w/ Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser to help with skin irritation.
