I found that this gave me just the right combo.ĭefinitely improved the acne on my forehead and chin. Try using it either in the morning or at night, not both. I notice that even though it doesn't say it's a toner, my face seems to have far less red spots or splotches.Īs a sensitive skin formula, it's still a little harsh and drying. I am inclined to think the latter, but this product has done a good job of toning out my skin. I'm not sure if it's cleaning extra deep or if its an affect of something in the product. The product makes my face tingle every time I use it. To use the astringent, you have to purchase cotton applicators separately which is a little inconvenient but not a big deal. It is strong and will definitely wake you up if you need a boost before school. The smell of the astringent is very harsh. I don't believe the formula has changed much since then and it gave my skin a good feel and look overall. Sometimes, I guess, Mother does know best.I started using this astringent in middle school because it's the product that my parents both used as teenagers back in the 80s. The price of a 10 fluid ounce bottle of Sea Breeze is $4 and I can buy it locally. $28) or your Resist BHA 9 Treatment (0.3 oz. I have been using Sea Breeze for several weeks with no irritation.Īnd, sorry, Paula, but Sea Breeze’s improvement in my oily skin in clearing up clogged pores and breakouts is better than achieved either by your Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Salicylic Acid Exfoliant (4 oz. At the store when I was about to take a bottle from the shelf, a woman of certain age with beautiful, flawless skin appeared and took a bottle of Sea Breeze from the shelf in that didn’t even look where she was reaching manner that people do when they have bought something for years. ![]() And it might well be so for dry, sensitive skin.īut as I said, my mother used Sea Breeze for decades - night and morning - without irritation. Her chief objection is that it is irritating. ![]() She has a negative review of this astringent on her website. Paula Begoun does not approve of Sea Breeze. Because she always stocked up when the discount store put Sea Breeze on sale, it was an economical way for her to have pretty skin. ![]() My mother swore by Sea Breeze and used it for decades to keep her oily skin clear. So in thinking about what I was going to use next after the Paula's, I thought of Sea Breeze. Cost per use made this an expensive way to remove makeup - especially since I had to buy an additional eye makeup remover. It took a lot of product to remove my makeup satisfactorily - even when I remembered to shake the bottle. Perhaps I had less than satisfactory experience because I was supposed to shake the Paula’s bottle before each use, and I often forgot. Even though Paula claims this remover will not irritate your eyes and can be used as an eye makeup remover as well as for whatever else is on your face, my eyes felt dry and uncomfortable after use.Īfter the second time I applied it to my eye lids, I went back to my regular eye makeup remover and only used the Paula’s on the rest of my face. What brought Sea Breeze to my mind was that I was at the end of a bottle of Paula’s Choice Gentle Touch Makeup Remover I had been trying. Needless to say, I am rethinking my skin care routine. My wrinkle quotient was not any higher - or lower - than when I was using products designed to combat them. Instead my skin was actually clearer with fewer breakouts and clogged pores. I had resigned myself to breakouts and wrinkles in the effort of healing. In any case, the results of this stripped down routine surprised me. (From information I have subsequently learned, I probably should have avoided the cleanser with water rinse and only used Sea Breeze in the evening too.) But when the infection was clearly getting worse, not better, I discontinued everything except cleansing with Sea Breeze in the morning (my mother’s cleansing routine in certain age) and in the evening I carefully washed my face with Paula’s Resist foaming cleanser, and using the prescribed alcohol then antibiotic ointment on the infected area. When the area first began infected, I continued to use regular skin care routine, avoiding the infected area. There is still a tender spot there that looks vulnerable. I am happy to report that that infected scratch on the side of my nose that gave me such grief from shortly after Thanksgiving until after New Years is almost healed.
