Astringents are a type of skin care product used to reduce oiliness and remove excess dirt and bacteria from the skin. They are typically applied to the face and neck after cleansing and before moisturizing. Astringents are usually alcohol-based solutions, but can also be formulated with other ingredients such as witch hazel, glycolic acid, and salicylic acid. Astringents can help reduce the appearance of large pores, reduce acne breakouts, and even out skin tone. Astringents are a popular choice for those with oily or combination skin types, as they help to reduce oiliness and keep skin looking matte. They can also be used to help treat acne, as the alcohol content helps to kill bacteria and reduce inflammation. Some of the companies in the astringent market include Neutrogena, Clean & Clear, Cetaphil, La Roche-Posay, and Burt's Bees. Show Less Read more
