Description
A throwback medicated astringent — 1.8% salicylic acid in a high-alcohol base with camphor and cooling essential oils — that degreases oily skin instantly and tingles like it means business. For genuinely oily, resilient skin it can cut shine and clear pimples cheaply, and longtime users love the bracing feel. But by modern standards it’s harsh: the alcohol and fragrant oils are drying and irritating, and gentler salicylic acid treatments control oil more sustainably. Effective for a narrow audience, dated for everyone else.
