i use this product again and again. really strong stuff so not for sensitive skin. i have super oily acne prone skin and this stuff burns so watch out. it does the job however. make sure to moisturize after use.

I bought this b/c I have been using Clean and Clear face wash for years. I have had really bad dryness and break outs though lately. And I'm just now realizing my skin was not that bad before! Maybe just the occasional pimple. I have combination skin, but I find that I have a lot more dryness and breakouts now. It kind of burns which I can usually take. But I think this is too strong for me and making my skin worse. I'm going for a less harsh toner next time. Oh well, at least it was cheap!

I always had bad acne, and trying out many very strong acne products at once, I settled for Clean & Clear's Deep Cleaning Astringent. I have very tough skin, so I bought the orange. This product has worked really well, considering it is salicylic acid, and not benzoyl peroxide, like I used before. I stopped buying the other products and continued to use this one. What I have noticed is that it prevents new acne forming, and killing off the existing ones. It's my staple. :)

I was hesitant at first because I had purchased astringent/toners before and nothing really made a difference. However, due to the reviews on here, I bought it. I LOVE THIS STUFF. It kind of burns, so I gave it a 4 but overall it works very well. I had been breaking out a lot due to my birth control pills, stress and just oily skin. I use this product every day, put it on a cotton ball and applied a thin layer on my face. It burns around my nose but it goes away after it dries and throughout the day, my nose is less oily and I've noticed in about a week so far that I'm clearing up considerably. Today, the first time since like 6th grade, I was able to just use a slight powder on my face and no foundation! No makeup! I was amazed.

I also use the product and wipe it on my cell phone and house phone because I think the alcohol in it helps kill germs.

I'd definitely repurchase and recommend it to anyone.

I really like this toner. I thought it might be too harsh so I orginally bought the sensitive blue version; after finishing that bottle I decided to try the regular orange version and I have to say I like it better. It seems to help keep those spots that like to pop up every now and then away. I find this toner more effective than others that I have tried (loreal, neutrogena, etc...) & BEST PART IT'S CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP :)

Yuck - even though I can use the cooling pore toner which is also in an alcohol base, I find this way more drying, probably b/c the cooling toner also has aha. This toner just sucked out all the moisture from my combo/oily face even in nyc's hot, humid summers, leaving me with a shriveled up looking t-zone. I relegated this to use on my chest and back.

Great stuff. They have changed the scent & I quite like it...almost fruity/pineappley. Anyway, it is a very effective toner - be careful not to over use as it can be drying and cause a bit of stinging - I am sensitive to bha's so this could be the reason it stings me.

wow. I bought this based on the good reviews here. And Im glad to add to it. I was skeptical about getting an alcohol-based toner, since it just reminds me of the harsh clinique toners, and how they burned. but this was nice and didnt burn, and I even had an open blemish. i like how it has 2% BHA as well. And 8oz for only 6 bucks, and it has a a flip-top, which is great. totally would repurchase.

i haven't been using this product for very long (maybe a week or so), but i like it. it smells pretty good for an astringent. it stings a little if you use too much, but other than that it's a good buy

This is probably one of the few, if not the only Clean & Clear products I would ever repurchase. I have mostly dry skin and I was worried that this would aggravate the dryness, but I needed something that was able to really get into my pores and give my skin a really clean feeling. First of all this stuff does sting, but it does wonders for breakouts! It dries them up and minimizes them within a few hours. Sometimes, if I have a really bad breakout, take a genorous amount of this toner and dab it on to the blemish and let it sit there without wiping the product off. By the time the product has seeped into my skin, I can see the difference (again, this is usually within a couple of hours). The most amazing part, is that even though it feels very harsh, my skin does not get red and it does not get dry patches as opposed to many other toners I have used. I was thinking about trying the other toner (the blue one) but as I compare the reviews between this one and that one, this seems to be the better product.

This toner is fantastic for oily skin. I had all sorts of gunk come to the surface of my skin the first three weeks I used it. It's made my conplexion so much prettier, and it's great for removing every last trace of makeup. I highly recommend it.

When I run out of my expensive toners, I always go get one of the Clean and Clear toners. This toner is great! It leaves your skin soft and not stripped. Really cleans the dirt out of the pores. I should really give up the expensive toners for this one!

This is pretty harsh stuff, but I do find it comes in handy to dab on open zits-- dries them up fairly fast and prevents infection. I also swab my chest and back from time to time to cut down on breakouts there. I prefer it to the blue stuff because it has more salicylic acid-- 2% vs. .5%-- but I probably wouldn't use the orange all over my face, because that's asking for major dryness and irritation.

I use this 3 times a day to prevent and get rid of pimples. The smell is pretty good for an astringent. My only complaints are that it is too drying and it really stings sometimes, but guess there's nothing you can do about that.

I use this as a "splash" on my shoulders, which, in my 40s, continue to break out in pimples. I use it after every shower, all year. It has made a real difference, and if I stop, they come right back. Walgreens makes a similar product for 1/2 the price, but I'm ok with the spending $4.50 for this.

I was so frustrated and ready to give up and live with acne forever, but I decided to try this anyways. WOW!! Within 4 days my acne was gone!!!! I cannnnnooot believe how smooth my skin is now! It feels just like it did before the acne! The only thing now is i have to find something to get rid of these ugly red acne scars! This is a greaattt product though slightly drying. I LOVE IT!

I LOVE THIS STUFFFF!!!! Gets rid of ALL your make-up and does not dry out your face one bit. It doesn't leave your skin feeling sticky and yucky like some other astringents or toners. Scents not bad either! I'll always buy this!!

They changed the formula, and this one does not sting my face like their previous formula did. This toner removes dead cells and residues very well. Bonus: It's very cheap. $4 at target for a huge bottle.

It honestly reeks! Actually.. it just smells like unpleasant dish soap and takes time to get used to but it definitely does what it's supposed to do. :D My skin's much less oily since I started using this a few weeks ago and my face is really starting to turn around. I'll definitely repurchase. hehe
