    the smell is too strong, it feels like pure rubbing alcohol. the product burns my eyes and i try to hold my breath while i put it on. it controls my oils but the content is js too hard to deal with

    Feels cool with a slight sting, but nice. Not too drying at all and hasn't caused breakouts. But I use it only once daily due to the harshness of the ingredients. Also use Liquid Soap for oily...

    The best toner I have ever used for my combo skin... period. I can see the difference on the cotton pad every time I use this. The dirt shows up and you can see just how much is coming out of...

    Like many of the other reviews, I def. agree this stuff stinks to high heaven (and probably has the potential to singe nosehair if inhaled). However I find it does the trick quite well-especially...

    This toner gives my skin a really refreshed feeling. It doesn't sting (which suprises me because it has a high alcohol content). It does have a really strong alcohol scent so I tend to hold my...

    Alcohol-based toners in general tend to be harsh, and this stuff is no exception. "Clarifying Lotion" sounds so innocuous, doesn't it? Ok, it takes off dirt/grease/makeup, but it also feels like...

    Ok, I use the entire 3 step program from clinique, but this part is definitely my least favorite. The clarifying lotion smells strongly of alcohol, and when I apply, it strings! Now, I've only been...
