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.

I first bought this product when I noticed that my acne was somewhat getting worse. At night, I would put it on a cotton round after washing my face to seal the deal and would apply it generously all over my face. I also use this product underneath my makeup in the morning to give me the confidence that I am still fighting my acne even when I'm wearing makeup! I also would soak a cotton ball with the astringent and let it sit on my pimple overnight. When I woke up in the morning -BAM!- the pimple had decreased in size and also the redness had gone away! I would recommend using this product for people who have non-sensitive skin, and for people who have sensitive skin I would recommend using the sensitive skin astringent. Also, start with two applications a day, once in the morning and once at night, and then gradually increasing your amount when you feel that your skin is ready!

I have been struggling with ance and oily skin since I was 9 or 10 recently I have decided that enough is enough and that I need to take care of my skin. So I went to my dermatologist and she prescribed a face cleanser CeraVe foaming cleanser. And it really helped with reducing my oily skin but I need something that would help with mild acne,oily skin,and acne scars.So I used witch hazel and this deep cleaning astringent.And to my surprise IT WORKED. It got rid of acne scars well most of them and keeping my skin calm preventing acne. Since it had been hot I would normally have very oily skin but this summer my skin has been normal and glowing. I was all cheesing knowing that my ance is slowly but surely disappearing.

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.

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

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.
