description

Special Cucumber Lotion is a mild astringent that eliminates acne bacteria and minimises the appearance of pimples. It dries up the pores to prevent bacteria from thriving and soothes the skin with natural Cucumber extracts. Sulfur also aids in fighting acne without aggravating the skin.

    Works well as a toner. Sometimes the faint alcohol smell irks me. Other than that it cleans well and doesnt break me out or cause sensitivity. Been through 3 bottles of this!

    I have sensitive, acne-prone skin, and this toner gave me an allergic reaction after using it a few times. I developed a rash and tiny itchy bumps all over my face

    I have never been a huge fan of toners, but I find this very pleasant and soothing on my skin, despite it not having the most impressive ingredient list on the market. It doesn't strip or irritate,...
