Q: What is the difference between this and the Acne-Fighting Salicylic Acid Facial Toner dpci 037-12-0867?
submitted by Tester Girl - 7 years ago
A: Hi, Tester Girl. This toner contains witch hazel and helps target excess oil while treating current blemishes. We recommend this for basic oil control. The Acne Stress Control toner works in three ways: treats acne before it starts, eliminates oil and shine, and refreshes and soothes skin. We recommend this for more advanced oil and acne control. Hope this helps!

Neutrogena’s Oil Eliminating Astringent is a solid choice if you’re struggling with excess oil and breakouts. It’s formulated with salicylic acid, which helps to clear up acne and prevent new breakouts, and it definitely delivers on keeping skin feeling fresh and matte. After using it, my skin feels super clean and noticeably less greasy, especially around the T-zone. That said, it can be a little strong — there’s definitely a noticeable tingling (sometimes almost a stinging) sensation after application, especially if you have any broken skin or are sensitive. Because of that, I recommend using it sparingly at first, maybe just once a day, and following up with a light moisturizer to prevent over-drying. The scent is very “classic astringent” — strong and medicinal — but it fades pretty quickly. Overall, if you have oily or acne-prone skin and want something that really cuts through the oil and tightens pores, this is an effective, affordable option. Just use with a little caution if you have sensitive skin!
Smells like mouthwash

This smells like minty mouthwash. I was convinced someone emptied the bottle and replaced it with mouthwash. Did nothing for my oily skin. Wouldn’t recommend.
AMAZING

It has been awhile since I used this product but it really did clear up my acne prone skin in middle school. It smells strong but it's a small price to pay

I use this when I have a little breakout. Sometimes it burns and I never really know if it’s super effective. But I feel like it must be doing something!
Really good product to use.

This is a really good product for oily skin. The price is affordable and the bottle is easy to use. The ingredients might not be the best but it still does its job. It’s has a witch hazel scent. I do like the smell of this product. I also love this product for acne.

Fancy alcohol.. don’t waste your money

I honestly felt like this was alcohol with blue tint. The smell was so strong that I had to hold my breath for about 15-20 seconds whenever I was dealing with this. And because my Tzone is the most oily, my nose would suffer every time I applied it. And I used a cotton ball to apply. It also removed the oil on the surface but it didn’t have a long lasting effect. Give it about 30minutes and the oil is back. I was under the impression that it was supposed to be reducing the oil. It only wipes it off until it comes back. You are better off saving your money and just using pure alcohol.
Love

This smells so bad to me, like stale urine. I know that is so unusual but when I first applied it to my skin I just kept smelling something gross. I am hoping to be able to return it since I’ve barely used it and don’t like it.

My wife has used this to treat her acne for many years. She uses several of the Neutrogena products, and she uses this wash when her face is oily. It's always in our home.
Love this new find!

I’m really liking this astringent! After just a few days my skin was less oily and the texture of my skin was much better. I only use it every other day as my skin tends to get very dry with anything that contains salicylic acid. I only gave four stars due to the smell (which disappears after drying). I’ll continue using to see if it helps with my minor breakouts…so far so good!

A very necessary product for everyone. Rescuer number one! Salicylic acid helps me very well with acne. The face has become much cleaner and better. Sometimes now pimples come out, I immediately wipe them with it, and everything passes quickly in 2 days! The packaging is minimalistic, convenient. The product does not fade. It's worth it for its money, it's not expensive! The smell is sharp but tolerable, the composition is good!👍
