I really like this astrigent because it works amazing at controlling oils throughout the day. It helped reduced the size of my pores which is great because I've tried a lot of things and they didn't work too well for me. I am in my 30s and bought this to combat my visible blackheads and occasional breakouts. My pores have gotten a lot smaller and blackheads are gone. However, it has this medically smell and that bothers me because it's like I can taste it.
