Effaclar Astringent Face Toner for Oily Skin, with Exfoliating LHAs to Minimize Appearance of Pores and Smooth Skin Texture

I love this. I am 60 with slightly oily skin (esp. cheeks and nose). This does a great job with that. It picks up lots of surface "dirt" and does not have any kind of a greasy or drying feel to me. I use it in the morning after my shower. Don't know whether it matters but I don't use makeup so not sure how it'd work for that. My pores feel better.

Helped with pores, great product!

Finally a toner that I can use that leaves my skin feeling super refreshed and clean. I used Obagi Nu-Derm but after 3 years it stopped working for my oily acne prone skin. I've tried many different brands afterwards and nothing really felt good on my skin and they all made my skin feeling more irritated and itchy. This toner/astringent feels very soothing with a very slight tingly feeling. There's barely a scent at all. Easy to use pull open top with a small hole for dispensing. I use one of those rounded makeup cotton pads. The size is generous for the price. So far, after using the toner on my skin for the past 2 weeks, I have not had any breakouts at all. Plus it seems to calm my oily skin to a minimum and not so shiny. UPDATE: DEC. 28,2012 After using this product twice a day, everyday, my skin around my eyes became severely dry. It was peeling and itchy. Elsewhere on my face, it was just a little bit drying. I decided to stop using the astringent everyday. I am now using it 2-3 times a week, depending on the dryness of my skin. I like the product very much, but for the winter months, it can be too drying even on my oily skin. So, I still highly recommend it, especially for oily acne skin types. I bet this product will be excellent for use in the hot, humid, summer months.

This is a go to for me. I use it in the mornings and before bed. I have oily skin and this helps to control it too. If you have dry skin just be cautious.

Nice on skin but a bit drying on the skin.

After trying countless toners that promised miracles but delivered little, I'm thrilled to say this product stands out from the rest. I have tried more toners than I could remember, and while many make the same promises, they ultimately did little for me. However, this product actually works! Within less than a week I noticed a remarkable improvement and will definitely continue to use it.
