Pros Only product ive ever found that could REALLY refine my pores, and makes my skin look ULTRA smooth and clean. Evened my skin soo much, GREAT!
Cons A little drying but controls oil very well. Has a fragrance but isnt too strong.
Bottom line Refined my pores, smoothed my skin and controls my oil. GREAT product..
Price paid $6.50

I'm in my 30's and have very oily acne prone skin. I used to really like this and used it with the rest of the Neutrogena system. But for the last 6 months or so this has been off the shelf in NY, Chicago, and a few other cities. I'm waiting for a new and improved replacement but have not seen any new Neutrogena toner with AHA/BHA... does anyone know what the companies plan is?

Works well. You have to stick with it before you will see results. Works great with the Neutrogena Healthy Skin moisturizer, but you have to order that from [link removed] if you want the one for sensitive skin.

Works Good. Keep In Mind That The Alcohol Content Will Dry Out Your Skin If You Use It Excessive. The Price Is Excellent, Under 10 Can For 250ml Bottle. It Could Have A Pump Instead Of The Snap Top Pour On Your Own Setup. Fragrance? I Guess If You Like Rubbing Alcohol!

This won'd do a thing to refine your pores, but it's a great toner. Too high alcohol content for sensitive or dry skin, but it did make my skin look good when I was using it. I like that you can get the AHA and BHA in a toner because applying cream after gel after cream can clog your skin.

Causes the characteristic slight burning sensation for a couple minutes, but other than that this is a good toner that helps cleans, refines the skin surface and is great under moisturizer. Cheap, too, for a big bottle.



Drawbacks are the alcohol content--too drying for everday use on the face. Also, its thin consistency makes it hard to apply to my back. I'm going to try another alpha hydroxy product to see if better adherence will help the awful cysts in those hard-to-reach center back areas. I sooo want to be able to wear halter tops this year without exposing gross acne to public view.

Even after expensive acne "systems" and expensive toners from dept stores, I keep going back to this. It makes my skin feel smooth and refreshed and just CLEAN. The only problem is that I know it contains some alcohol, so it dries out my skin probably a little more than necessary in the winter months. (Just get a thicker moisturizer and you won't even notice!) But its the best product I've used for prepping my face for 2.5% benzoyl peroxide. The BP doesnt feel like its working without it!
