Ponds Cold Cream to remove makeup, followed by Witch Hazel on a warm damp towel to remove any residue, followed by whatever night face cream you use. I'm pushing 70 and skin is more like 45-50. No wrinkles, just a couple of deeper lines. Witch Hazel will not dry out your skin and is a great alternative to alcohol (that will cause that problem). This particular brand of Witch Hazel has an odd odor. If you can live with that, it works like a champ.

It wont over dry your skin if you only once a day. Even if you don't have acne or anything there is still dirt in your skin and if helps remove it. It also does great at evening skin tone.

I agree with Barbara. I am 51 look 38. I too am more dry and have never had any acne issues. I take very good care of my skin including the use of sunscreen religiously, washing my makeup off nightly, using good oils such as roseseed hip oil, coconut oil, olive oil and never using any products that contain alcohol which is drying. That's why I've used witch hazel for a long time serves as a great toner without over drying your skin.

I have very dry skin and it works great for me but I don't think it would be good for oily skin but you could check with them as they may have a cream for oily skin. hope this helps.

I use it as you would lotion and facial moisturizer. My skin is dry, this work much better than lotion and expensive creams. You can also use it for cooking.

Yes. I use it everyday. It did not dry my skin as much as other products I have used.

I have dry/combo skin so I don't know what this would be like for oily skin. It *does* have a moisturizing finish to it. And it is slightly heavy. If I had to guess I would say that it could make oily skin break out. You may get a more definitive answer from someone that actually has oily skin

I apply it before moisturizing. I tried to use it as a moisturizer, and it made my skin dry.

I used it on my dry skin. Really helps the product foam up and then you rinse with water.

This product is stong. My face seems to tolerate everything fairly well so I started using it morning and night. Although I only had mild stinging, my face actually started looking worse after a while. I cut back to using it only in the evening and my skin did a 100% turn around; looks better and better everyday. With your dry skin, I would definitely start out only using it once a day, possibly once every other day.

I have kept using it since I started about a year ago. If I stop using it the acne definitely starts to come back. I will use it after i get out of the shower, I spray it on and do not wash it off afterwards. This product is very effective but it does dry at your skin out. I'm not sure about your specific skin conditions, give it a try and try to slowly ween yourself off of it, I tried this and noticed the acne coming back so I still use it every day. Expensive, but it's the price to pay for clear skin. Feel free to let me know if you have anymore questions!

Its good if you have oily skin. It does dry your face out a bit so if you have dry skin or during the winter months it can be a little harsh. I am now using Afrian Black Soap face and body wash, its a little more affordable and if i get a bit dry, I use Honeybee Gardens Hydrosol Face and Body Mist (it has essential oils in it, but isn't too heavy). This is a great product though, just found something more affordable!

By drying out do you mean get all flakey looking? No I think the only real thing this product does it make you smell minty. I saw no difference is my makeup after I used this and I really really wanted this to work! Hope this helps.

This is an ideal skin care product; pure black soap with organic shea butter. It's a gentle, moisturizing exfoliant. Helps clear skin blemishes and prevents premature facial lines. I have never had acne, but this is the best thing I have ever used on my body. You can even use it to wash dishes, floors, counters, and even more. It's an all natural product (not tested on animals). For a facial moisturizer, I only use "Seaweek Mattifying Day Cream." That's it! I am 66 years old and have not wrinkles, nothing!

I think it would be too oily. I use just a little bit in my bathwater, which helps my dry skin. I did try it once as a face cleanser, but it didn't work nearly as well as what I was using.

I have very dry skin and this did not dry it more. I used it for eczema, so I can't answer about acne. Sorry.

I have used it around my eyes for the past 2 months and it does seem to help with my wrinkles. I don't have problems with acne or blackheads though.....it has not caused any breakouts but once again i only use around my eyes.
