Neutrogena Clear Pore Oil-eliminating Astringent

Hello dearies,

I am not really fond of applying toners or astringents but as they say it is an important part of the CTM routine, I somehow manage to apply it twice a day getting out of my laziness but I will admit that at times I skip it as well but applying it at the night time is like a mandatory thing for me. I am always attracted to toners with salicylic acid because my skin is pretty unpredictable and a pimple may pop out without expectation. I finished my clean and clear blackhead clearing cleanser and wanted something like that only, so I started using this after the former one. I am sure all the people who are addicted to beauty gurus on Youtube will have surely heard about this one. Let’s sum the details of this one up.

Price: $5.49 for 236 ml

How did I like the Neutrogena clear pore oil-eliminating astringent:

When it comes to toners I am not really picky, I can adjust with any kind of toner and mostly I would prefer something for my pores, acne or skin whitening. This one is designed especially for oily skin and for those who are facing some minor or major acne issues. The astringent comes in a big sturdy bottle which is transparent and has a white flip open cap and you can easily make out how much product is left and I like such bottles. Though being very huge in size I manage to take it out of towns but I don’t think so everyone will be comfortable doing that. The bottle looks light aqua in colour because the toner is of that colour but as you pour it onto a cotton pad or your hands it will lose its colour and will look like water. This one contains salicylic acid which helps to control my pimples and acne to a great extent, but It will not give the desired results alone. You will have to use it up with other products to combat with the acne problem. The cap has a small hole by which you can pour the required amount onto a cotton pad but as soon as you open the bottle a strong menthol chemical fragrance is released and I don’t understand why such salicylic acid toners smell so weird?

The fragrance is too heavy for the nose but after you apply it the smell starts to face and then goes away in a couple of minutes. The astringent is light and glides in a go on the face and a little bit cooling sensation is felt on the skin thereby making it ready to apply the moisturiser. It is dermatologically tested and it is an acne medication so will be completely safe to use and for now I did not face any side effects but as salicylic acid dries up the skin and creates a bit redness initially I will not recommend it for the beauties with dry skin. The oil is totally taken off withthe cotton pad thereby leave a matte finish behind on the skin. The oil is controlled for like 3 hours and it pretty much cleans up the pores day by day and not just in one go. My skin did not break out after using this so this worked perfectly for me. For pimples and acne I would say that not a major difference in them but does the work slowly with other products. So currently I am happy using this but I know before I finish such a big bottle, something new will totally come up my way.

Will I repurchase/recommend the Neutrogena clear pore oil-eliminating astringent?

Yes I surely would to people who have oily skin. I think somewhere or the other it will help to control that burst of pimples and will remove all the sebum from the skin and this alone will not do anything great for the pimples or acne but will surely act as a catalyst for other acne fighting products. I will get one more bottle after I am up with this if at all I get it in India.
