Pros:

This is the only toner that's ever helped in clearing up my skin after bad breakouts.

Cons:

None.

I love this toner. I've used 3 others (Clean and Clear, Proactiv, Neutrogena) and Biore is by far the best. When I can't find it in the store, I order it on [link removed]. It smells good too and it hasn't dried my skin out.

Pros:

It makes your skin feeling nice and clean.

Cons:

It stings a little, but not too much.

It helped clear up my acne; but I still used other things besides this and a cleanser. I use deep cleansing masks that you find at Walmart. You find them by the lotion and stuff, not by the face cleansers. They are single packaged, cost about a dollar or two (they are clay based). I used them everyday for about a week and my acne went from a 30+ pimples to 5 pimples! But the thing is, you HAVE to moisturize!!! And guess what?! I stopped cleansing my face at night for about 5 days (I really have to cleanse my face at night and in the morning because I have very oily skin) and I still had only a few pimples!! But the thing is, you have to use clean your face (use this Biore stuff and some good moisturizer too) and use the mask once every week.

Pros:

cleared up the small annoying acne on my forehead area. I noticed results after the first day. I have pretty sensitive skin but have been using this product twice a day so its fairly gentle. another really great Biore product.

Cons:

not helping me with larger acne. I only vary rarely get larger zits and I am now noticing one red spot on my cheek despite consistent use of this product. also other minor red spots not disappearing.

Dont expect this product to help all your skin problems. But definitely a great product. my skin is much softer after only a week and huge improvement compared with other products.

Pros:

Works well. Tightens my pores, diminishes oil, feels refreshing. It is the only thing that has significantly reduced my acne. Large bottle lasts a long time.

Cons:

None.

I love this product. Paired with Olay's Regenerist Oxygenating cleanser, my skin is healing after five or so years of blemishes and painful acne. My red spots are fading, pores are smaller, and my face feels clean after use. Great product.

Pros:

Works like magic, costs barely nothing, smell is masking its contents.

Cons:

Tested on animals, made of pure chemicals, there are no comparable natural alternatives that I have seen.

When you use this product you are considering your face over your ethics.

Pros:

Smells good, fresh tingle, feels clean

Cons:

Doesn't kill pimples like a miracle; but I didn't expect it to

I love this stuff. It makes me feel so clean and fresh. Other astringents I've used basically feel like alcohol and burn (and I do not have sensitive skin, it's actually very resistant), but this is a lot gentler and feels great. It has helped with my pimples a little, but it's nothing that crazy. I use it almost every day mainly to get rid of oil and freshen up. :)

Pros:

dries up spots

Cons:

dries up skin. After a couple of days of usage made my skin very red and tight.

This is a product i keep coming back to but i know i shouldnt use it. Has the same bad effect every time. Seems to clarify skin on first use then dries up your skin and ten times more oil is produced leading to breakout.If your skin is sensitive give it a miss. May be ok on hard as nails skin.
