Clean & Clear Essentials Oil-Free Deep Cleaning Astringent, 8 fl oz

I have already used most of this bottle because it works so well! I use this when I start to notice pimples popping up, I add it to my night time skincare and within a couple days the pimple has drastically reduced in size. It's a powerful but gentle product for such a good value.

This product left my skin feeling refreshed and clean,with a slight tingly sensation.The has a simple opening to easily dispense the product onto a cotton pad.The astringent has a liquid consistency that easy to apply. It also doesn't leave any residue, and skin feels so clean and ready for the next step.

Great for deep cleansing the skin, as a second step. I love swiping this over my skin until I see nothing left. No makeup or spf residue. It clarified and cleanses the skin so well Highly. Recommend!!

I'm so glad they removed the dye and fragrance. There's truly never any reason to be putting dye or fragrances on our skin and it only damages the skin long term. Like others have said, this does have a very strong alcohol base and may irritate those with sensitivity towards alcohol, broken skin or a weak skin barrier. If you have any of those I would recommend finding a product that does not contain alcohol (such as the stridex 2% salasytic acne pads) in it and I would actually LOVE if they made this same exact product in an alcohol free version. But this is wonderful for smoothing your complexion, reducing sebum reproduction, lightening dark spots and penetrates the skin barrier to knock out stubborn acne. Your acne may get worse before it gets better with this because it will bring the clogged sebum to the surface, but with continued use it can be a great exfoliant and sebum reproduction reducer. I like to wet a cotton pad with water before applying this to the pad and then putting it onto my face. It dillutes it a bit until your skin can handle it at full strength.

Do you have oily skin and lots of blackheads? Let me introduce you to this gem. Its been around so long and needs no real introduction, but it cleans your skin out so good. Id avoid if your have sensitive skin, tho.

This astringent definitely means business. It removes leftover oil and buildup fast and gives that unmistakable “deep clean” feeling, thanks to salicylic acid. That said, it can be too much. The formula leans harsh, with noticeable stinging and dryness if used too often, especially for sensitive or dry-leaning skin. It's effective, but not forgiving and that's why I gave it 3 stars. Overall, it's a solid occasional acne fighter, but not a gentle everyday staple.

Dried out my skin more than necessary, but it did clear up oily parts of my face and reduced break outs. It does have a strong alcohol smell, but it doesn't linger. I used this product twice a week, let it sit for 2 mins, rinsed, and applied a moisturizer. It still caused flaky skin and itchiness. I'd like to note that my skin is usually dry, especially in winter.

I ordered a package of 3 and only 2 were in the box

I have been using the Clean and Clear Astringent for more than 20 years and just introduced my teenager to it, and it was really working wonders controlling her pimples. Went to get a new bottle for her suddenly it's no where to be found. I've searched high and low and it seems like it never existed. There's a saying 'if it ain't broke don't fix it'. Why has it been discontinued? This is so disheartening because the new products do not measure up. Please please please bring back the OG products that made Clean and Clear stand out!!! I don't know if the company is under new management, but switching up your formulas and discontinuing products is not a smart move!!!!
