I love this product! it worked amazingly for my acne and has a wonderful tingle afterwards. It also has a light scent that I found pleasant.
It doesn't do much for getting rid of oily skin, but it does the acne job superbly.

I never write bad reviews, but I must write one for this product. This product ruined my skin!

I used this product for a total of three months, so don't think I'm just being harsh for no reason. During the first month, I noted the intensity of the astringent, but I kept using it anyway since I already spent the money. After two months, my skin started to feel really dry to the point that it was flaky. I didn't realize what was causing it, so I just compensated by using extra moisturizer and liquid foundation. After finally making the connection, I quit using this product and my skin went back to normal.

Overall, I'm neutral to this product.

I bought this toner because it was on sale at Target for under $6. I haven't used a toner in about 5 years, and thought I might benefit from going back to using some. This toner does tingle and feel refreshing, but i noticed it broke me out on my nose, and helped dry out my pimples everywhere else (a good thing). It cleaned out ruminants of dead skin and makeup. I only use it at night, that's all my skin can take, as this stuff does have alcohol in it, and is pretty potent. Make sure you moisturize well afterwords...

I don't know about oiliness. I don't think anything in the whole world will cure my oily skin. I do know that the more dry your skin is, the more oily it is. That's why i say moisturize well after this one.

Favorite toner ever. I have combination to normal skin. My nose and my forehead get oily and my cheeks are perfect not dry and not oily. This toner really refreshes my skin and I really do think this has helped prevent any pimples and has reduced the blackheads on my nose. I use it morning and night. It takes the remainder of my makeup off at night and in the morning helps get rid of the excessive oil that has accumulated over night. I can see how this how would be harsh for someone who has sensitive or dry skin since this contains alcohol and it's quite strong. But my skin isn't sensitive at all so I can use it with no problems at all. I recommend it you have acne or oily skin. I also really like the scent. Its very refreshing.

I actually like this product. After believing that the Clinique Anti-Blemish system would help me, I was sadly disappointed when it didn't work. Therefore, I decided to try a cheaper alternative instead of wasting all my money on products that never keep their promises. To my suprise, although this toner has not gotten rid of all my pimples, it has certainly improved my skin. I love the way it makes my face feel cleaned, fresh and tingly after I've used it and I would recommend it. You can even see the left over residue from the cleanser and any makeup. If you have really sensitive skin, try and use only a little bit because it can be harsh. But with a nice moisturiser, it will leave your skin feeling soft.

I like the fact that it is a squeeze bottle but there's something about Clinique's product packaging that I love.

I don't normally use a toner, but I thought I should start since my skin tone was getting uneven, and the heat and my oily face were resulting in breakouts. I saw this one and decided to try it. I've only started using it, but I use it mainly at night to help remove the remnants of my makeup and dead skin that my cleanser may not have gotten. I haven't used it in the day because it makes my face so shiny, I'm not sure if I should. I love the tingly feeling though, makes my face feel extremely cool and clean in the heat.

First time using an astringent; it's been such a hot and humid summer so far that I'm getting very oily skin during the day. This has helped tremendously with oil during the day, and has cleared up my "problem" areas (chin, forehead).

I agree with Bigboo on this one. I have a few back up bottles for this product which is my morning Toner. I do use a stronger salycillic acid toner at night!
I have been using it for a year and my skin loves it. I love that it has the salyicilic acid which sluffs off my dead skin and makes me porelesss.. Again, I am in my late 40's and this does not dry out my skin but leaves it completely clean and ready for all the moisturizing products I do use afterwards.

This is great stuff and to me, worth a lot more than what it costs!

I've been using this for over a month, and i must say, its made a HUGE difference in my tone, texture and "pop up zits" on my face. My boyfriend who always has something to say about my face comments how well its looking. First off, I always had bumps on my forehead, very visable little bumps, they are gone. I always would breakout... this has almost diminished them from happening. My skin tone has evened out a lot, and i'm not nearly as oily (i think i'm almost normal now), and itchy as i would be. Nor is my face super dry. I've used countless brands, and after the most wonderful toner was discountinued. (you all know the one Neutrogena's Antiseptic Toner) lifes just not been the same. Clinque wrecked my face, Arbonne did nothing, SeaBreeze - what happened there? nothing and sticky. So this is a winner for me. Even use it on my shoulders and back after a long day of working out and riding my horse. Works great!
I use this 2x a day, At night I use it with the detoxifying scrub (biore) and a perscription Benzaclin. Together are a great combo that has made my skin smooth and on looking wonderfully healthly!!

I really like this product. I had small pimples on my forehead that has disappeared after using this toner. I use it in the night time and a dab a little on my forehead. It works and I'm on my third bottle.

This is entirely too strong for my face. The salicylic acid burns it smells too medicinal.

ive been using this on and off for a while but im not sure if it has really made a big difference. it hasnt made my skin worse, its smells nice, cleans my face well and leaves my skin pleasantly tingly. i dont really think it has done much, but it isnt a bad product overall (contains witch hazel and salicylic acid thats supposed to be good).

I love the way this feels on my face, but it breaks me out. So I would not repurchase. Also, it makes my pores look huge!

This wan't too harsh on my skin, smelled good, and cleaned my face BUT it made my face break out in random, big under the skin zits. It was horrible. I gave it to my roommate, whose skin is the exact opposite of mine, and it made her skin break out too. So no repurchase!

I normally love Biore's products but I have to admit, this toner didn't do anything for me or my breakouts. It didn't cause any breakouts but it didn't clear them or prevent them. The smell is good and it made my face FEEL clean but I don't think it really cleaned my face. Would not repurchase because I know there are better toners out for less than $8 that would work better.

Been using this product for couple wks and will continue. I can see where those w/ sensitive skin should probably opt for something else. I started to have a cluster of breakouts on my chin and on the sides of my nose; and let me tell ya... this stuff cleared it up immediately. I saw a significant improvement overnight!! but then that makes me think of how/what harsh chemicals are in it. I selected this mainly because I didn't see any parabens in the ingredient list (let me know if I missed that)... always a plus for me. It is drying and since I have combo skin, I only using it in my t-zone. And even then, I only use it where I have irritation (pimples) going on; otherwise, I don't really use it.

Way, way too harsh for my sensitive (I guess!) skin. It also has a menthol/cooling effect, and this is so drying for my skin. Skin feels tight and shiny after a treatment. And did I mention red? Yeah. Not healthy red, irritated red.

Fail. Not to mention the bottle lid is leaky, and it has all sorts of alcohol in it.

So lol I have the knock off version from CVS it's supposed to "compare to Biore Triple Action Astringent" so I'm guessing it's very similar.
Anyways..
Packaging=fliptop .. plus for me

I feel so refreshed and my face tightened after using this stuff. Maybe it's because I haven't used a toner for a really long time and I forgot how it feels like. Regardless, this stuff is great!! My skin definitely cleaned up from this .. and it's only been like a day since I've started using this. I can see that it would be irratating to those who have sensitive skin. Luckily in my case, I don't have sensitive skin at all. Really awesome for you oily skin girls ! Will get rid of the oil and another plus, it gets out the gunk that you don't get out from just washing your face or that leftover makeup you didn't quite get. Love it overall will update later...

This is the astringent I use everyday. It doesn't smell like alcohol which I love, and it doesn't make my very sensitive skin turn red like a tomato.
I used clinique level 3 toner before this, and it burned terribly when I put it on. This doesn't burn.

This product didn't do much for me. Even used it for two weeks and I actually got worse! I used it sparingly and still managed to break out. It makes my pores look large like craters. It's a waste of time and money.
