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

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.

Pros:

smells nice, feels like it firms skin.

Cons:

contains isopropyl alcohol which is an irritant and I think caused me to break out really bad on this product.

The bad reaction I had after using this product made me swear off toners for a while. Try to find one w/o isopropyl alcohol if you had a bad reaction like me.

Pros:

Smells beautiful; inexpensive; decreased size of whiteheads.

Cons:

Gave me dry, flaky, wrinkly skin; red marks; blemishes; stings.

I have oily skin and let me tell you, this product irritated my skin so bad. After two days of using this product, it has made my nose, forehead and jawline wrinkly and flaky! I've never had these areas affected this way - I think it's due to the large amount of salicylic acid. Furthermore, this product made it impossible to apply make up on my face. I'm desperate to get the dryness cleared up again. On the bright side, it decreased size of my whiteheads but left me blemishes all over my face! :( This product is inexpensive and maybe worth a try if you have very very oily skin.

Pros:

It got rid of my severe acne, and I have been using it for a long time. Its really helped me.

Cons:

For some reason its stopped working, and it also drys your skin a lot! I have to use super moisturizer after using this product. Ive also become dependent because this is the only thing thats ever worked for me

Good product, but stops working.

Pros:

dries up pimples, prevents any new ones from forming, smells good.

Cons:

makes skin red, leaves acne marks.

I've been using this product for about 3 weeks now and my acne has cleared up, however this product leaves acne marks very noticeable and does not lessen the appearance of acne marks.

Pros:

It smells Good and makes skin feel tingly and refreshing. It feels like its working.

Cons:

I have like no acne before using it because I've have been using Clean & Clean Astringent which burns but work. This biore Astringent gave me a face cover in zits after a week.

Theres nothing Triple about, it just fools people with the packaging and smell.

Pros:

it made my cheeks, nose, chin, and forehead much smoother

Cons:

after first using it, i had like HORRIBLE wrinkley lines under my eyes.. I'm only 16. It was disgusting. Don't put it under your eyes or on them.

DON'T PUT THIS ON YOUR EYES OR IT WILL MAKE THEM SAGGY lol

Pros:

The smell is very clean, and not harsh like other astringents. It leaves your skin feeling fresh.

Cons:

It actually worsened my acne problems. I don't have whiteheads but I do have skin colored bumps on my forehead. My skin was clear before I used this product, but when I began to use it, my skin gradually became more bumpy. =(

Don't buy this product unless you're using the entire Biore facial system and if you're skin is oily. If you're like me and you breakout along the forehead often then I recommend Neutrogena because that was I used before I tried this product. The price is also more inconvenient compared to Neutrogena.
