Pros:

I have used this stuff for 15+ years. I love it. It is the only thing that I can find that cleans so good. Nothing else compares. It keeps my skin looking great.

Cons:

So hard to find. I have to pay more now to get on the internet. The ORIGINAL formula is the only one I will buy. The new stuff that is available in stores is TERRIBLE!

Great Product!!

Didn't work for me
This made my face break out worse than its ever been in my entire life. I heard good things about it so I switched from my other astringent (one with salycilic acid) and all hell broke loose on my face.

Nothing to get excited about
I used this for a few days at my partner's house. I'm sure it works great with mild acne, but it didn't really do much for my face besides sting and make it red.

Pros:

I love this stuff. I use the type for oily skin. I use a bunch of cotton balls until I see no more dirt on the ball. Obviously it's getting the dirt out because I can see it.

Cons:

It makes my face really dry after I use it so I always put on moisturizer when I'm done. Sometime it tingles so bad it hurts.

Cleans my face well. If you have sensitive skin this product would probably burn very bad.

Pros:

The original formula was great. I always relied on it.

Cons:

I can't find the original (the one without the actives or whatever that crap is. It is crap) I want the original back.

Can't find it. Can anyone help me find the original that not only smelled great but worked great. The newer one feels sick.

Careful, largely differing formulas
I bought this awhile back after finding it on this site and being enticed by the mostly positive reviews. It was of no benefit whatsoever, it simply made my acne appearance worse. As it turns out, this astringent comes in variants, and I wasn't buying what I thought I was. Here's the ingredients of the original formula: Water, Alcohol Denat., Camphor, Peppermint Oil, Eugenia Caryophyllus Oil (Clove), Eucalyptus Globulus Oil, Eugenol, Sodium Benzoate, Yellow No. 5, Orange No. 4 As you can see, water is listed first, followed directly by denatured alcohol. This makes for a consistency practically equal to water, and a harsh, unpleasant smell. I regretted this purchase. Nevertheless, this version still has quite a bit of positive feedback, but make sure you know what you're paying for.

Pros:

I love seabreeze, and have used it for years. I just can't understand why they haven't created Seabreeze Shampoo and Cream Rinse.

I hope that someone from Seabreeze gets this message, I think Seabreeze Shampoo would be an incredible additon, and be a very successfull porduct

Pros:

There really aren't any. It's colorful?

Cons:

Drying!
Redness!
Itchy!

Its an AWFUL product, your skin at first will be all nice and dry looking and then an hour later it's like someone dumped a bottle of oil all over your face. You shouldn't ever use astrigents with alcohol which this product has. Alcohol strips your skin of it's natural oils. Stay away from alcohol based astringents! I learned the hard way.
