Horrible

Cons:

Horrible scent
Burns/eats away skin leaving raw bloody patches
does nothing for acne

Have used this, and the previous version. Both did nothing to treat my acne, and burned my skin in spots. I've now got a raw spot almost the size of a dime on my forehead from it.

I use this right after using the biore face scrub. I have never had an issue with acne so I use the astringent to prevent pimples. It works great. It really gets rid of extra dirt and makeup left behind after washing my face. Love the cooling effect and the way it makes my skin feel clean and tight.

Pros:

Smells good
Removes dirt and makeup

Cons:

Can be drying sometimes
I found that I had a residue left on my face...a bit of a sticky/oily film
There is added fragrance and colour
Not good for sensitive acne prone skin

After using it for 2 months (together with Biore blemish fighting ice cleanser) I still have acne. I wouldn't buy it

Pros:

works, inexpensive, sold everywhere, smells nice

Cons:

has alcohol in it which may be too drying for some people

I used this twice daily on my back and chest for a few years straight. It worked like a charm, never stopped working and did NOT bleach out or ruin my clothes in any way. Let me tell you, I had bad acne on my upper back too. I was surprised how well it worked and I loved the scent. The only reason I stopped using it was because I went on birth control (Ocella) and my skin became less oily. If your skin handles products with alcohol in it, then you should have good results with it. Also, if your skin gets too dry, try Cerave lotion (not their cream, but their lotion) on top. Don't worry, Cerave lotion won't cause acne. Hope this helps!!
