Yes, after several months of my daily use, i've got new oiliness that Clinique toner didn't cause. And I believe Clinique was stronger, so I don't believe that DDF is stripping me, and I'm overcompensating. Also I use Dr. Perricone moisturizer which is incredible, so I'm not dry at all. I will try the advice of others & switch to once a day or every other. Thanks!

Two times a day seems excessive. I have been using this product two times per WEEK. Glycolic acid is relatively powerful stuff. I would surmise that you are seeing so much excess oil because you are stripping your skin, and your body is trying to compensate for it.

Not oily for me anyway???Hmmm...

I would say make sure you are moisturizing after each use. If your skin is getting oilier, then I think it would suggest that its getting dried out and producing more oil to compensate. I always moisturize immediately after using this product.

I've only been using this for a few days and its already started making my face super oily, the other toner i was using didn't make my face oily at all, but it didn't give me results like this one. the DDF toner makes my skin feel so soft, of course for some reason it makes it feel a little sticky where i'm getting more oily, but it really helped with my acne scarring which was what i was going for so i think i'm gonna use this only at night and my old one in the morning and see if it helps any.

I would cut back on how often you are using it. Stick to once a day or once every other day. Your skin may be trying to compensate for the drying effects by producing more sebum (oil). I've had this happen when I overstimulate my skin with too much exfoliation or when I've used this product twice a day in conjunction with my clarisonic. I switched to using my clarisonic at night and this toner in the morning and my skin stopped getting unusually oily. Every person's skin will respond slightly differently to this so you have to find the frequency that gives you the results without overdoing it for your skin.

I found that initially (first bottle) it worked great, but now that I'm on the second bottle my skin seems to be rebounding and is now breaking out worse than before. So, there may be something to your thought that continued use may not be beneficial.

short term = brutal, can only image long term

I use it once a day (at night time, before bed). In the day time I use First Aid Radiance Facial Pads.

I think the key is to make sure you always wear sunscreen and avoid direct sunlight, especially when using any product containing AHA or retinol or any other acid. And also make sure you moisturize.

I've never heard of toner giving long term damage. I use it only once a day at night when I remove my make up and it is working great for me. It gives be the peace of mind that all the make up is gone and no residue is left, this avoids break outs for people with oily skin like me.

I'm 41 with combination skin and this never drys me out. I also use the clairsonic every morning to complete the exfoliation

i wont say it is good for your age.
it deff dnt work for my age.

There is a deoderant from Derma Doctor that is designed to lighten the underarm. I would use that instead since it's designed for that purpose and you will get the added benefit of your daily deoderant.

It might, but you might get irritation from shaving or waxing and using the toner simultaneously. I'd try Tend Skin, which is specifically designed for areas you shave or wax. Tend Skin (also on Sephora) is designed as an ingrown hair remedy, but it exfoliated and lightened my bikini line nicely. The DDF Toner is great for my face, but I like Tend Skin for my bikini line and underarms.

I use the DDF glycolic fash wash and toner (with a clarisonic mia) and my face has never been so bright and clear. I really like glycolic acid and opposed to salicylic acid...it seems to be less irritating to my skin.

my dermatologist gave me a sulfur soap to clear acne, and glycolic acid overtime will eliminate scars. So as far as acne goes, you should be able to use products with sulfur and they should work.

I never rinse off. I always swipe it all over my face with a cotton pad after cleansing with the DDF glycolic face wash.

leave it on.

I too had a similar skin situation. I finally tried the DDF Glycolic toner and face wash, and used it morning and night, and my face finally cleared up. I use it in conjunction with a clarisonic mia, and have been so happy with the results. Just make sure you moisturize and wear sunscreen!

I am 22 and have had the same problem as you for the past year with getting blackheads along my jawline! The right side of my face was congested and nothing seemed to help and when anything cleared, something was right there to replace it! =P
I started using the DDF mask about less than a year ago, twice a week, and it helped with preventing new break outs and QUICKLY clearing any present breakouts. It did a great job at getting rid of excess oil, even though it felt sort of uncomfortable on my skin because it felt very tight as it dried on my skin. I leave it on my skin for about 2 hours because it doesn't seem to do much if I leave it on for less time than that. I dab it on any blemishes and keep it on overnight though and it makes a big difference. Since I've begun using the toner (it's been around 2 weeks), the blackheads on my jawline have gone away. There were whiteheads that I couldn't extract before that miraculously disappeared as well! My skin is pretty much clear of imperfections now since using these products, except for marks from past blemishes.
Another habit I've gotten into is cleaning my phones with tissue saturated in rubbing alcohol 3-4 times and washing my pillowcases MUCH more often. It made SUCH a HUGE difference!

The last thing I can say is to make sure you drink a lot of water! It's something I got told all the time but when I consciously made an effort to increase the amount of water I drank, my skin looked glowy ^_^

Good luck!

I used this during my pregnancy. According to my doctor the key products to avoid are salicylic acids and retinol. This product is great because it has neither.

It would probably be best to ask your ob/gyn or a dermatologist. I'm sure a doctor would know.

Yes, use it after you cleanse, twice per day or once per day for sensitive skin. It should be safe to use with a brightening cleanser. You can also safely use it with DDF's 10% Glycolic cleanser. The only thing to be careful of is not to use it after a grainy scrub - but if you use this toner, you shouldn't need a grainy scrub at all.
