Pros:

smells great, cleared most of my acne.

i had pretty bad acne and after i used this astringent most of my acne cleared up. It also works great without drying out your skin and it smells great, leaving your skin feeling fresh.

Pros:

Cleans very well, calms my skin, prevents skin from cracking and peeling, face is less irritable.

Cons:

Doesn't clear up my acne entirely.

I have extremely sensitive facial skin and have never found a product that comes close to how gentle this astringent is. I always had dead skin on the end of my nose, on my cheeks, and around my chin and this has completely solved my problem. I use it in combination with the Daily Renewal Cleanser and the Moisturizing Lotion with sunblock. The only other company that rivals Biore in my book is Burt's Bees but their products aren't as inexpensive as Biore. My skin is much more clear, less blotchy, and almost to the point where I don't need makeup.

Pros:

It definatley gets the oil out of your skin and since I've used this no huge pimples or zits have came on my face. A few mild ones but not to where you cant go out in public.

Cons:

It stings a little after you use it and to me personally smells strong. I wish it could get rid of blackheads better ):

Its a great product for severe and or mild acne but if you dont have terrible acne then it doesnt affect as much. Good product.

Pros:

it made my cheeks, nose, chin, and forehead much smoother

Cons:

after first using it, i had like HORRIBLE wrinkley lines under my eyes.. I'm only 16. It was disgusting. Don't put it under your eyes or on them.

DON'T PUT THIS ON YOUR EYES OR IT WILL MAKE THEM SAGGY lol

Pros:

-Minimizes pores-Smells good-Smooths skin-Nice packaging-Doesn't burn or strip skin-Reduces surface shine for oily skin

Cons:

The only con is that I would like for it to clear black heads better.

The bottom line is, this product obviously isn't for everyone. Try it out, see if your skin can take this product without making your acne worse. If you have sensitive skin i wouldn't recommend using an astringent no matter how light. But if you're like me and have oily skin, you'll love this product.

Pros:

The smell is very clean, and not harsh like other astringents. It leaves your skin feeling fresh.

Cons:

It actually worsened my acne problems. I don't have whiteheads but I do have skin colored bumps on my forehead. My skin was clear before I used this product, but when I began to use it, my skin gradually became more bumpy. =(

Don't buy this product unless you're using the entire Biore facial system and if you're skin is oily. If you're like me and you breakout along the forehead often then I recommend Neutrogena because that was I used before I tried this product. The price is also more inconvenient compared to Neutrogena.
