Alba Botanica Acnedote Deep Cleaning Astringent

I'm enjoying this so far but it definitely has a few downsides.

Pros:
- controls oil
-makes skin look very even
- a lot of product in one bottle

Cons:
- not sure if it's helping with breakouts
-takes forever to dry, so makes the morning routine go a little slower
- packaging is annoying, the screw on cap makes it easy to pour too …Read more

I bought this due to a recommendation of a coworker who mentioned this when I was asking her for products for acne. Someone on Cafe also mentioned it was a holy grail product. I found this at TJ Maxx for $6. When I used it, there was a stinging sensation momentarily. I used it at night and when I woke up, my face felt sticky. I've used this from time to time but it seems to give me more …Read more

Let me first start by saying , THIS IS AN ASTRINGENT. This is not for sensitive skin, or dry skin. You need to know that your skin normally can handle salicylic acid and lots of alcohol. Even though it has natural and organic ingredients this product can be harsh. My skin is acne prone , combination skin and I can handle salicylic, benzoyl peroxide and high alcohol contents and I still had to be …Read more

I started using this to replace a Neutrogena astringent, which had become too harsh for my skin. It's noticeably more gentle but still stings more than I'd like. I mostly use witch hazel for toner, but add some of this on the cotton ball, too, mostly for my T-zone. It's cleansing and refreshing without drying, and helps my complexion. Love the green ingredients.

I wish …Read more

I cannot live without this! Yes, it definitely has alcohol, but that's exactly why this works great. For a long time my skin would be itchy every now and then and keep getting small bumps. Tried everything with no success. Then, I started using this, and the problem gone for ever.

I'd like to start out with no two bodies are the same-thus no two skin types are the same. I have incredibly difficult skin! Everything friends/family had recommended led me to more break outs. I started using this product a week ago...not really expecting results. I have horrible hormonal acne as well as disgusting black heads all over my face. LET ME TELL YOU GIRLS! This product has made …Read more

I ordered this off of iHerb. It was on sale so I thought to myself why not try something new.
I had never heard of this brand before but I have to say it's working better than I had expected.
I think this product was developed for people with serious acne problems and it works wonder but if you have a zit here and there, once in a while this should not be used all over the face …Read more

My skin is on thin, sensitive side and this toner burns a lot. I'm not sure if it's the alcohol content, or the essential oils or both. Pros are it's fairly inexpensive and very watery in texture so it dries quickly without leaving any sticky or greasy residue. But it really, really stings. Maybe if you're younger with thicker, more resilient skin it might not hurt as much. I …Read more

This toner is not good for anyone. It has too much alcohol and fragrance that it irritated my skin. It definitely stung badly so if you have any cuts on your skin be careful. I put a spray on the bottle so that I wouldn't have to take the cap off every time to put on the cotton square. Every time i spray the astringent the essential oil fragrances stings my nose.

I highly recommend this toner. It is expensive but works very well. This has helped cleared my acne within a month. Cheap only $7 in my country.

I have cystic acne and this works best with my retinoic acid gel .5% and benzoyl peroxide. This actually works better than my previous favorite andalou naturals oily skin toner.

Cons: Better packaging is needed to control the …
