I have a really oily t-zone and even though this is 'oil-controlling', it did nothing to control the oil on my nose and forehead. It actually made them more oily and shiny! Plus it stings and...

This is not for sensitive skin, and not for oily or maybe combination skin. My skin is very oily, but also pretty tough. I've never had problems with burning or dryness from this as long as I...

I bought this, hoping it would reduce the shine in my T-zone, but it unfortunately made my T-zone even oilier and shinier.

I have been using this product on and off for years, and I always come back to it. I think it does help control oil, but I still have problems with acne and I don't think it cleans out my pores...

I like that this product DOES have alcohol in it, because my skin is not sensitive at all and needs an alcohol-based toner to get it clean (I have VERY oily skin that is NOT sensitive at all, and...

This is the only toner that works for me. It does not dry my skin out at all and also makes my face feel super clean. It does contain a bit of alcohol, but is not drying and does not burn. Overall,...

I'm using this on my t-zone only, after washing my face with St. Ives Apricot Cleanser for Oily skin. It smells like mouthwash, which isn't too unpleasant, just strange. I haven't been using for...

Yes, this does have a lot of alcohol. I agree with that. However, it really does work for me. After washing my face I use this and am amazed at how much makeup it removes! I mostly just use...

An alternative to using this would be to simply smear alcohol all over your face. It is ridiculously loaded with alcohol!! My skin is still suffering the after effects!! The first few days of using...

This is pretty good product, but the name is a bit misleading. It doesn't control oil so much as it actually will clean the extra dirt and oil off your face. It's really good to use right before...

This stuff really burns, it has way too much alcohol, and it dried up my skin.
