Product Tips and Q&A

Tips & Recommendations

  1. Make sure to use a toner or astringent after cleansing for a super clean face. The use of a toner or astringent helps in removing any impurities left behind. It also helps restore your skin’s natural pH balance.

  2. Using an Astringent helps control the amount of oil on your face throughout the day. Reapply regularly for superior oil control.

  3. If you're the type of guy that likes a splash on after-shave, the Astringent will work for you! It has all of the things that you are used to with less alcohol and no irritating fragrances.

  4. Use the Astringent after working out in order to get rid of the sweat and excess oil on your face that can clog your pores.

  5. Astringent for men is best used after having washed your face with a gentle, non-oil-based facial cleanser. Instead of using your regular bar soap, purchase a face cleanser to use before applying your Astringent.


Product Q&A

Is there a difference between this and the Astringent toner pads?

Both astringents address the same need. There are some different ingredients in the pads, such as Azeloglycina and slightly less alcohol, but it really comes down to whether you prefer a pad or a liquid.

Will using an astringent dry out my skin?

No. Anthony Astringent for men is made with Witch Hazel and a mild alcohol to cut oils and hydrating Aloe Vera and Vitamin B5 for moisture retention. On the other hand, if your skin tends to be on the dry side, it might be best to use our Alcohol-Free Toner, which is designed for people with dryer skin.

I have never used an Astringent - Why do I need one?

Using a toner or an astringent provides many benefits for your skin. They help to restore the skin's natural pH. After washing your skin, your pores open up. Using an Astringent helps to reduce their size, which helps keep your face free of blackheads or potential blemishes. It will also help to cut any excess oil and minimize oil production to keep your skin soft, hydrated and shine free.

Besides keeping my skin clean and free of blackheads, is there anything else Astringent will do for me?

Astringent is used overall to enhance the appearance of the skin. In addition to keeping your face clean and free of blemishes, astringent also helps to make wrinkles less visible and to prevent your facial tissue from sagging. It can also be used to soothe skin that is irritated from shaving.

Best morning routine Oct 16, 2010

"I absolutely love this astringent. I use it as a post-shave refreshing splash. It says no fragrance, and while not entirely true, it has a great essence that is a perfect morning pick-up on a fresh-shaved face. Soothing and cool."
