ESSENTIALS Deep Cleaning Astringent

I bought this at Target just to try. I have never used any astringents before and wanted to see if it will be effective on my skin. I love that it has a high percent of salicylic acid because it actually help dry out my pimples fast.Because I have very oily skin and acne-prone skin, I use this astringent as a toner after I wash my face. It may sting a little especially when you are putting it on an open pimple. I think that the astringent actually helped prevent pimples and made my face clearer. During winter I do not put on much because it tends to dry out my skin but during summer or spring, I use it twice a day or sometimes thrice (morning, after work, night). I would recommend this to people with oily skin and for acne.

This product is amazing! I have sensitive skin that freaks out anytime I try something new but my pores were out of control and I had to do something. I did some research and found this astringent. It's been a little over one week and my face looks great! My once VERY visible pores are now barely there. My face looks more even and I can see a big difference with my breakouts. It can burn a bit when you apply but I actually like the sting because it's like I can feel it working. This has definitely become a staple in my beauty bag.

I really love this product, I used to buy another brand and it was like years until I saw effects but when I used clean & clear astringent, I really saw the difference. It is the best product for my skin I´ve found. It takes all the oil from my face and also the death skin. When I have a big pimple in the morning I use it and by the end of the day is really small, I just love it.

i wear alot of make up and i mean alot ! and i noticed my skin was getting really bad and i was looking for something to help clear my skin and fast ! so i went to the store and found step one and two . and can i just say this is my favorite skin care product i have ever used ! this product has been such a game changer for me , i will continue to use bottle after bottle its such a great cleanser ! if i could upload a picture i would , but i went from a full coverage foundation to my natural skin , it has helped that much ! what a fantastic product ! props to clean and clear for making it ! i very very much recommend this product !!

I love using this product whenever I feel a breakout because it always speeds up the process and helps it go away faster :)

Every now and then I'll have a pimple/zit pop up somewhere on my face, and I can't get rid of it no matter what I use! I saw this at CVS and decided to get it, put it on a monster size pimple I had, and when I woke up it was gone! It was crazy :) I love this stuff more than I can say. Although the smell is strong (alchohol) and it can sting your eyes, I give this a 5/5 for sure!

The Astringent wipes away the deep down dirt and oil your face experiences while working out and sweating. Plus it was much easier to use than my face cleanser creams. Now after along work day...of cleaning and sweating......befo're a shower I get a ccotton ball and wash away that heat from the sUN...and sweat from a work out.

I did not need to use a topical acne cream, after having applied the toner. It decreased the size of my pimples within a few hours. I have oily/combo skin, if you have a drier skin type be sure to use a moisturizer afterwards ,skin may?? get a dry. Other than that, this is the best acne toner I have ever used in my life!!!!
