Overview
This astringent is formulated with camphor, eucalyptus, chamomile, amino acid and lemon, aimed squarely at oily, blemished and break-out prone skin. The combination of camphor and eucalyptus gives it a cooling, refreshing feel, which is a common approach for oil-control toners.
Unlike a hydrating toner, this formula is designed to help control shine and support the look of clearer-feeling skin, positioned specifically for problem or pimple-prone skin types. Chamomile is included to help soothe any irritation that can come with a more astringent, oil-focused formula.
At $18.50 for 6 fl oz, with a 4.3 rating from 125 reviews, this sits as an accessible option for anyone managing oily skin on a budget, though the review count is on the smaller side compared to more mainstream toners.

Performance notes
Camphor and eucalyptus are commonly used in oil-control formulas for their cooling, refreshing effect on the skin, and may help with the look of reduced shine on oily or blemish-prone skin. Chamomile is included to soften the potentially drying or stimulating nature of these ingredients, though this remains a formula built for oily skin rather than a gentle, all-skin-types toner.
What buyers say
A 4.3 rating from 125 reviews suggests a satisfied but relatively small customer base, likely made up of people specifically seeking an oil-control astringent rather than a general-purpose toner.

Frequently asked questions
Is this astringent too harsh for everyday use?
It is formulated for oily and break-out prone skin, and ingredients like camphor and eucalyptus can feel strong at first. Many people with oily skin tolerate daily use well, but those newer to astringents may want to start with less frequent use to see how their skin responds.
Can this help with acne?
The listing positions it for acne-prone and problem skin, and ingredients like camphor and eucalyptus are known for their cooling, oil-managing properties. It is not a medical treatment for acne, but it may help with the look of reduced shine and a clearer-feeling complexion as part of a broader routine.
