I actually like the smell of this product! It's great for my acne prone oily skin and leaves skin feeling very clean and refreshing. At the end of week 1, I noticed my pores smaller and blackheads are almost gone! Great product!

I have repurchased this and the cleanser a few times. Great, refreshing product. Too drying for everyday use. But I love the smell and the tingle.

I love this toner but it burns the crap out my smile lines (the ones from the corners of your mouth to your nose) so I have to be careful about how I use this. Other than that, I love the smell and the effectiveness- I just wish the bottle had a smaller dispenser hole- I always end up soaking up too much and having to squeeze out the cottonball. Very wasteful.

I have been using this toner for 2 weeks along with the loreal pure zone foaming cleanser, and let me tell you it works wonders. It makes my skin tingle, and makes it feel very clean.i havent seen any new pimples and havent broken out @ all, and also, my face is clearing up quickly. Not very expensive. This product is WONDERFUL WONDERFUKL W-O-N-D-E-R-F-U-L

Smells real good and works extremely well. I don't get any spots these days which is a wonderful thing. I've only tried the toner so far. I use it with BlackMoores face wash, which is from Australia. Seems to work hand in hand. A good buy and it's cheap too.

An effective salicylic acid product for the treatment of acne. My face always felt refreshed and clean after using this toner. However the fragrance of this product is too much for me to handle. All the Pure-Zone products reek like cheap, strong, men's cologne. It is just sickening and I won't buy any more of the products because of that.

This is a good toner. I've found that I can't use it on my face though... a little too harsh. But it's great for my nose and slowy but surely it's unclogging it.
UPDATE: Since the beginning of July I've been using all of Pure Zone's products. Cleanser,toner,Moisturizer, and spot check. Well it's September now and the only thing I've actually kept is this toner. Unforechantly I'm probably going to ditch this to. It's not like this didn't work but... when I'm using skincare products I like to use that brands cleanser,toner, and moisturizer. So once this bottle is empty it's probably going in the trash for good.

I use this on my t-zone some nights before going to sleep. I have very sensitive skin and I haven't had any problems with this. It doesn't dry out my face and it hasn't made my skin break out either. I don't use it every day so if you have very sensitive skin you might want to use it every other day.

I have been using this for about 6 months now. At first I loved it.It cleared up my skin without drying it out. Now my skin doesn't respond to it at all. It is also very expensive and I end up going through a bottle every two weeks. I'm not buying it again.

This is very good product to heal acne. It didn't make my skin feel dry at all. And the price is so low! Grab a bottle and try it out.

I use the entire line: the creamy balancing cleanser (something like that), astringent and the mostruizer. i noticed that this astringent does a pretty good job of making me feel clean- it takes off all makeup and doesn't feel sticky like other astringents I have used. It also smells pretty good. the only thing is it pours out quite a bit if you're not careful. I got it in a complete package on sale for 7.99 at longs, and i think it's 9.99 not on sale, i bought it mid-march so maybe they have some left? overall i would recommend it and in using it in conjuction with the cleanser and moistruizer, my skin has felt pretty good, the pores look a little tighter, i have a little less breakouts too.

I love this product, actually the whole line. The asringent is refreshing and my skin has cleared right up and has stayed that way. I will keep this as a staple.

I tried this product because I received coupons. It is too expensive, and doesn't seem to clear up my acne for longer than about 3 weeks. ALso my poores stayed very clogged on my nose. I would only buy this again if I were able to get a large rebate.

This is a very refressing Astringent! I actually really like it although I dont think it has done much to clear my skin. I like to use it when my skin is especially oliy. This ones good.

I'm considering to give this a 4 rather than a 3 but I may change that in the future.

I tried this with the Unclogging Scrub Cleanser and I will say that this product is considerably better than the cleanser. It is very water-y so be careful when you pour it out... it can really pour out a lot.

For those who are sensitive to scents, this might not be a good product for you. It has a strong scent... not entirely citrus but more of a chemical citrus. Yes, it doesn't sound appeal and I can assure you it wasn't when I first used it!

The positive about this is that it dries quickly and leaves no residue. It does leave a tingling feeling which I'm not certain is a good thing or not. It wasn't as strong as the cleanser but it was there.


I'll update this later on the effectiveness on it... whether it gets rid of blemishes and tighten pores.
