22 Best Toners and Astringents
Editor's Rating & Review
I'm sure this stripping formula can't be good for my hair, but I initially bought it to cleanse my scalp when I couldn't wash my hair extensions frequently. The salicylic-acid formula cut through oil and dirt and reduced the amount of (ew) blemishes around my hairline. For my face, I normally consider astringent an unnecessary step, but I use this occasionally. The cooling effect and strong, flowery-peppermint scent are super-refreshing. Dry, sensitive skin types may find the ingredients too harsh.

No Good
This astringent is nothing but a bunch of useless chemicals. It didn't have an astringent effect on my skin at all, even though my complexion is not very oily. All my skin felt was sticky, like I had been sweating a lot. I don't think this is worth the money at all, as it is fairly expensive for a drug store brand. It did nothing for the clarity or health of my skin, and I do not recommend this.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 2 people said helpful

Drying
This left me with dry, flaky skin. I have combination skin and it was over-drying, even on my t-zone.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 3 people said helpful

ok
Alright this ROCKS as an astringent, it really works wonders on my skin (and also if you've been cursed with cold sores like I have it works for that too even though I'm sure that's not it's true purpose). The only problem is that it REALLY burns your eyes! Be careful and I would suggest closing your eyes before using it.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 5 people said helpful
