Is this good to use for someone that has oily skin for the humidity? And how do you all use this, i.e., on a cotton ball, wash cloth etc? Thank you.

Yes, I live in FL and it is very good regarding humidity. I use a cotton ball, it's very refreshing. I was tired of paying for expensive brands for toners and this is great for all skin.

You generally use it with a cotton ball or cotton pad; after you have washed your face and made sure to close your pores with cold water. Witch Hazel, which is the main ingredient in this product, is an astringent so it should dry oily skin.

I would say average, it is not specially designed for oily skin, but mine works fine.

I wash my face very well and make sure to rove the majority of oil. I them apply the acid with cotton swabs. Be sure not to let it sit on any part of your face without having rubbed it around first. That can cause burn/blistering. I let it sit for 2 mins and then use a mixture of backing soda and water to neutralize the action. The exigencies reaction will release heat on your face, it can be pretty warm, but this is normal. I rince my face well with cool water then pat dry with paper towel. I use a very light oil free moisturizer with a little bit of neem oil to moisturize my face. My face is really sensitive for the next 3 days. I wash it with a gental soap free face wash and stay away from the sun. Your face really absorbed everything you put on it during this time so you want to chose carefully. Use natural products. I am allergic to sun screen, so I use hats and physical bariors to keep my face safe. This 50% potency is actualy too strong for me, I went back to using the 30% and that gives me better results. I do it every two weeks to give my skin time to completely heal. My face did not peel with ether one (30 or 50%).

My wife used it regularly when nursing our 3 kids. Usually once a day, maybe more. She says it reduced the irritation and dry skin. The pure, 100%, is anhydrous and thus very thick and sticky, takes a little rubbing to work into the skin. Some places (maybe not Now Foods) sell a hydrous version with a little water, nothing else, so it's a bit thinner and easier to spread (that's most likely what was in the squeeze container mentioned below as anhydrous would be too thick for a squeeze-tube). After a fairly long time (not sure exactly how long) the anhydrous becomes very thick and difficult to use with a slight change in color, but it still works.

I don't use it except when I have an earache or wax build up so it will last a good long time for me ~~I still have almost a full bottle and I used for a week at night .You only need a little bit and then I put a cotton ball so it doesn't leak out . This is what my Mom always used for me so that is why I still use it and it works great ~Hope this answer helps you :)

Hello there! I am not quite sure, but I live in Northern California, and during those rainy months, I still use this in the morning to keep my skin moisturized. I have normal-oily combination skin (T-zone areas is oily). I hope it helps

I'm just careful about the amount I use and I can keep it from running. My skin is really sensitive so I'd prefer to limit products to the area where they're needed if possible. I agree that the consistency is very liquid, though, and it's difficult to keep it from running. I always use cotton swabs, as the cotton absorbs the product and makes it easier to control, and I also avoid touching my skin with my fingers. Awesome product, however you choose to use it!

I have the WORST oily skin - - constantly blotting it. Yes, this works on oily skin. I gave some of this to my friend that has dry/sensitive skin and she was raving at how well it worked. A very small amount goes a very long way, too.

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 put it on at the end of the shower and just lightly spray off and pat dry so some is left on. I have put small drops on at night on really dry patches and patted dry without rinsing and it has been fine. It takes the rough skin off with the rinsing and exfoliates, but don't think it would hurt to leave it on. It would be very oily.

I used it two different ways.. I used almond oil to dilute it in a small spray bottle and i have also used it full strength placing a dab on wrists, elbows, neck, chest , ankles etc.. it works well for me in the summer repelling mosquitos.. i get eaten up by them if i don't use it!! You can mist your clothing.. careful cause it is an oil.. and also the area your sleeping in.. smells ok too.. kinda earthy.. have fun on your trip!!

Hi! I reside in Miami, Fl. This summer has been quite awful ; heat/humidity wise. I use this cream everyday before going out and my skin absorbs it really well , no oily or sticky feeling after an entire day of Miami weather. I hope this helps!

I wouldn't use this on oily skin, but having dry skin myself, it blends very well leaving my skin feeling silky.

Hi all I can tell you is my exserience using this product . I felt like it really dryed my face up which then the BP causes more breakouts for me . My skin is oily to begin with and I tried to do everything by the book as the directions say too but had to use it once a day cause of the drying factor but everyone's skin is diff so now I don't even use the product anymore maybe my face is to sensitive but good luck if you give it a try . Hope it works for you :)

I have combination skin and haven't had a problem with the oily areas. It leaves an initial greasy feel on your face so it's best to use at night to let it soak in. By morning my skin is soft, supple, and not oily at all!

I bought this for my sister, I haven't used it. I checked with her and she said it is indeed 0.2 once. it is small but mighty. She has dry skin. I have oily skin, I actually use stri-dex to dry up the oil. Debra

It's a cool mist. I use lavender water - it provides a great scent. No oils though; it would become dirty very quickly.
