User questions & answers

Question:	Do the Biore strips with Witch Hazel give any sensetive people out there a headache like the regular ones do
Answer:	These strips do not give me a headache and I am very sensitive to strong fragrances.
Question:	Is it gritty
Answer:	No! Smooth and refreshing.
Question:	What are the ingredients? Does this toner contain alcohol? Does it contain any fragrances
Answer:	It contains alcohol denatured (dissolves surface oil), isopropyl alcohol and plain alcohol. These types of simple alcohols are antiseptic, but they should not be alone. This is not a hydrating toner but an astringent targeted to ppl with oily skin prone to acne. However it does contain glycerin which is a humectant which means its moisturizing and retains water. It has no intense scent just some from the hamamelis (witch hazel). The witch hazel is there to balance out the alcohols and provide moisture. I personally use this once a day (i find it quite hydrating but if used alone ur skin may go from dry to oily during the day). I use it along with a hydrating toner (like Thayers witch hazel) and my skin has no issues,no acne anymore.
Question:	will this rip the skin off your nose
Answer:	Hasn't ripped the skin off my nose. Just follow the instructions.

User questions & answers

Question:	What face wash should i use from the cerave line if i get acne but it’s not bad acne
Answer:	If you have painful inflamed acne the acne foaming cream with benzoyl peroxide would work wonders probably. If you only have clogged pores, black heads, white heads, but not really inflamed, the salicylic acid wash would work best probably.
Question:	What moisturizer from cerave should I use with this , for acne
Answer:	The CeraVe Moisturizing Cream( for face and body) I suggest is the best moisturizer for both day and night for all skin types. In the day time remember to use your sunblock. Neutrogena Hydro Boost SPF 50 or Cetaphil Oil Absorbing Moisturizer SPF 30 for oily acne skin. My recommendations are essentially for skin of colour because hyperpigmentation issues affect our skin more.
Question:	Does this bleach fabrics
Answer:	As long as you rinse it completely, it will not bleach fabrics. If you wash your face in the sink and don't get every bit off, it will bleach. I find it easier to use in the shower. However, this product only has 2 percent as opposed to the last product I used which was 10 percent and I haven't had any issues yet.
Question:	Clears blackheads on nose and pores
Answer:	Hi there! This cleanser can help to clear acne pimples and blackheads while also help give acne blemishes a chance to heal while maintaining the skin’s barrier. We hope you love it as much as we do!

User questions & answers

Question:	Can i use as a drawing salve
Answer:	While it cleanses, it provides some drawing. Best to go with a clay product for maximum drawing of impurities recommendation is Aztec Secret Indian Deep Pore Cleansing Healing Clay
Question:	Does it have little particles to rub the skin? or just like regular cleaning foam
Answer:	No little particles. Neutrogena has a great face wash with little particles to clean pores and exfoliate. It has grapefruit in it. It's my favorite so far. This charcoal cleanser is okay-just probably not good for people with sensitive skin or open pores. It's not a foam-just gel. I think the charcoal soaked into my pores and that's what the blackheads were.
Question:	How can I travel with it
Answer:	FROM TRAVEL EXPERIENCE: Either transfer liquid from Biore bottle to a store bought bottle with a cap that can snap shut OR the cheap way is to put a sandwich bag over the top and secure it with a rubber band or ponytail.
Question:	has this helped anybody with blackhead issues
Answer:	Yes! I bought this at another retailer to give it a shot and was amazed at how well it worked. I have always had an issue with blackheads on my nose and the only success I ever had with clearing them up was with a Biore strip. However, after the FIRST night of using this cleanser, I'd say about 95% of the blackheads on my nose had disappeared. I'm really shocked that this cleanser is getting such negative reviews on here because it's been a great product for me so far.

User questions & answers

Question:	Should I use this and clearsil rapid reach wash at night or morning? I also have resurfacing retinol cerva and their wash. Any proper order or time
Answer:	Absolutely love this face wash, not harsh on my sensitive skin at all. I use to break out from all sorts of reasons, when I started using this I noticed major clear skin, I might get one here and there an use the rapid spot treatment but I use it before bed cause after a day of running around it cleans away your skin also I use in a.m to rinse any nighttime heat or oils...just a small amount and massage into your skin with warm water rinse with cold to close your pores ...love it
Question:	Can this be used on the rest of your body like arms
Answer:	I've never used on any area but the face but I don't see why not. If your facial skin isn't bothered by the product I'm gonna guess an say your arms won't be so. I would give it a try, there are lots of body washes and soaps that work, I have Male friends who have said as much things with sea salt in the body wash or soap. Or even a dab of a spot treatment that has peroxide in it. Will help with redness and dry out any imperfections...Bragg's apple cider vinegar as a toner works wonders on all skin types too. Just a few ideas to try all have had great results for me and friends. Hope that helps good luck
Question:	How long do you leave it on your face before you wash it off
Answer:	Leave it on the same as you would soap or other daily facial cleanser. I put a dab in my hand with a bit of water, then apply all over my face (avoiding eye area). I then splash on lukewarm water to rinse and pat dry. I love this product and recommend it to my friends.
Question:	Is this good for oily skin
Answer:	I love it. I do have oily skin and I do get a pimple here and there, and this stuff does help. I use it before I use my rodan and field’s regimen. Highly recommend it.
