Does what it says
This astringent does reduce blackheads, but has little to no impact on acne.

works okay!

Pros:

works
smell
price

Cons:

doesn't prevent acne
not for cystic acne

It has a nice smell,doesn't feel too harsh and clears up blackheads on the nose, leaving you with a smooth surface. It doesn't work wonders, but it's pretty allright.

Pros:

Prevents pimples/reduces duration of breakout;
Reduces severity of blackheads;
Smoother skin over time.

Cons:

Can sting;
Skin feels very dry after use/may flake the first few times you use it.

I am 23 and have used a variety of products for about 10 years. The bottom line is that if you have bad acne, you need to keep to a regiment. I wash with clean and clear face wash (you can probably use any kind of face wash) in the morning and then put on an oil-free SPF moisturizer. It is ONLY in the evening after I have washed with the acne face wash before bed that I apply the blackhead astringent (preferably RIGHT after you have washed your face with warm water and then dried it -->your pores are open more.) Use a cotton ball and really work it into your pores. Do not put anything else on except chapstick for lips. Your face may feel dry but it doesn't matter because it's bedtime. In the morning, wash your face and apply moisturizer and the process continues. The more you skip washes or applications, the more you will break out. The more strict you are, the more you will get out of this product. Seriously though, only at night.

Pros:

It dries pimples out fast.

Cons:

It makes my eyes water when put on my cheeks.

It works good for me since i have VERY oily skin. It dries my pimples out fast, since I use it way more than i should. But it doesnt irritate my skin, since it's oily.

Pros:

I thought I'd give this a try and applied it to all problem areas. It really cleared up the spots I had on my chest and back, which had been fairly stubborn previously.

Cons:

Has not yet improved my face significantly.

Didn't do what it said on the bottle, but has really improved my chest and back acne!

Pros:

Cleans skin when used with cotton.

Cons:

Really does burn for a bit, no significant clearing.

Don't use this product alone. Works better when combined with other treatments.
