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:

- pretty bottle
-easy to use
- tingly feeling for almost 20 min after using it
-worked better then my prescription

Cons:

-funky smell kind of like a chemical melon smell

i tried this not thinking it would work, but it worked amazing. i was using diffren (prescribed by a dermatologist) , but diffren made my skin really irritated, and even though this has alcohol in it it reduces redness and makes my skin glow. i love it i love the tingly feeling i get when i use it

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:

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:

-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:

Smeels great, tingly sensation which tells me that is working.

Cons:

It made my acne way worst.

Although it smells beautifully and tingles, the product is horrible since it made my skin breakout even further and now i'm desperate to get rid of it. It's been almost 2 weeks but no results in getting better. I do hear that some acne products makes you purge because its working and is taking all impurities out of your face ... now i'm just waiting for about a month to see if that is what is doing
