Original Formula Astringent
SUMMARY OF REVIEWS
Sea Breeze Original Formula Astringent is a decades-old product that professional makeup artist The Double Cleanse Podcast warns is "riddled with alcohol" and will dry you out. It was popular in the 80s and 90s for burning off skin, but modern skincare users should avoid it for any hydrating or gentle routine. This is not a product for anyone with dry, sensitive, or compromised skin.
