Pros:

-clears up acne
-shrinks your pimples
-prevents acne from coming back
-smells good! (to me, at least.)
-tightens pores

Cons:

-burns your skin
-leaves skin red and splotchy after use
-dries out skin
-leaves skin shiny

I found that this product actually works really well, but, of course, you can't rely on this product only. Yes, it did leave my face red and it dried it out/left it shiny, which is why I use this at night before I go to bed. I apply it with a cotton ball, leave it on for about fifteen minutes, and then apply some aloe vera to the rest of my face to keep it from drying out too much. Then just go to sleep and you wake up and your skin is fine! I've only been using this product for a short time, but I find that it does work. It's worth at least giving it a shot.

Pros:

Good astringent, does a good job tightening up pores, great for removing whatever dirt and other stuff that soap and cleansers were not able to remove

Cons:

Doesn't actually get rid of the black heads

I use it for tightening up my pores after I use my blackhead extracter, which I dont use everyday. A bottle has lasted me for about a year.

Pros:

Cleared skin quick, saw results after one day.

Cons:

left a light scar on my face.

this stuff works quick to dry out problem pimples, flattens them, and makes them less noticeable, but it does sting on open pimples.

Pros:

I used it as directed and applied it to my face twice a day and it minimized the appearance of the blackheads on my nose and completely rid my cheeks of visibly clogged pores.

Cons:

May cause mild burning.

This product itself is not a cure for blackheads. You should still cleanse and moisturize daily as well as exfoliate regularly, depending on your skin type.

Pros:

Depending on the type of skin u have varies in your results !!
It works on my legs and arms by lightening my annoying dark spots. After one week I can see a difference. Not huge but a difference. Wish I can post before and after pictures. Doesn't dry out skin

Cons:

NEVER USE ON FACE !!!!
Used on my face and caused me to break out. In my opinion it only works on your body but not the face. It BURNS sometimes.

This product is good. I suggest you not use it on your face because it will cause you to break out like crazy.

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.
