    So my skin is undergoing a weekly peel of lactic acid to fade my light scars, but outside of that, I use no other exfoliants. I was hesitant to buy this, but I still had that one weekly spot. My...

    This toner/solution comes in regular and extra strength. They both contain 2% salicylic acid, however the regular strength is lighter and has a higher ph so it is gentler on my skin. I use both. I...

    Seems to work well. I'm still new to the chemical exfoliation concept, but my skin feels smooth after using it andit doesn't sting my sensitive areas. Very watery consistency - I wouldn't recommend...

    For a $20 toner, I expected a lot more. This doesn't work any more effectively than my $9.95 Burt's Bees 1% salicylic acid toner. (Honestly, my Burt's Bees toner does a better job). After nearly 4...

    This is a good product but I'm not wild about it. I'm not sure whether I should call this a toner or a treatment. The bottle does not use either term. I have very oily but sensitive, acne prone...

    This is the "regular strength" stuff. I am not acne-prone, but I believe in effective exfoliation and have used the PC 2% liquid exfoliant (same formulation as the Clear Extra Strength toner)...

    For two weeks out of every month, this toner is my BFF. It is a toner with 2% salicylic acid and is safe even for rosacea. It is fragrance free, another plus for those of us with sensitive skin....

    Actually I am using a 2% BHA toner from PB, but it has an identical formula and I just like its packaging more than of Clear toner. Well, 2% might be harsh for sensitive skin. I first used it only...

    It's an okay toner; it didn't cause any breakouts but didn't do anything for my acne either. I'll probably finish the bottle but won't repurchase.
