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.

    I have acne prone congested skin and while this toner was pleasant enough to use and felt quite refreshing, it didn't really improved any of my problem areas. Sure, it cleansed my skin and left it...

    I've been using this toner for about a month now. I started off with a sample and was so impressed that I went ahead and bought a full sized bottle. I'm by no means a skin care expert. All I...

    This works good for my very oily acne prone skin. It does contain alcohol which can be drying but i follow with the oil free moisturizer spf 17 and it keeps my skin perfect. I always get a little...

    This product definitely cleaned up my face, but I had to use a lot of it each time, even if I hadn't been wearing makeup that day. Even after using it, however, my face felt not moisturized, but...

    This stuff wasn't absolutely horrible, but it did nothing for my skin. I was hoping it would help reduce blemishes, but it did nothing at all.

    I have acne-prone, combination skin, and most toners leave a stinging sensation and dry my skin. However, this toner did neither, and my skin has been clearing up since I started using it in...

    Everytime I used this toner, all I could smell was alcohol. It is overwhelming! It seemed to work ok while I was using. Considering the amount of alcohol in the toner I bet it would be fabulous...

    Has really made a difference in my skin. Great anti-acne product! Only concern is that, like all toners containing alcohol, it dries out my skin a bit.

    Like a lot of MB products, I LOVE the smell of this. I almost can't believe sulfur is one of the active ingredients because you can't detect it at all. I'd use it even if it didn't do anything for...
