So, take this with a grain of salt because I have not bought nor used this product HOWEVER- vodka as the second ingredient is extremely worrying because any alcohol besides fatty alcohols (stearyl or cetyl alcohol) is VERY DRYING to the skin. Ethanol may cause a temporary tightening of pores but over long periods of use would break down the skin's barriers and severely decrease the skin's ability to retain moisture.<br /><br />"There is actually a significant amount of research showing denatured alcohol (ethanol) causes free-radical damage in skin even at low levels. Small amounts of alcohol on skin cells in lab settings (about 3%, but keep in mind skincare products use amounts ranging from 5% to 60% or greater) over the course of two days increased cell death by 26%. It also destroyed the substances in cells that reduce inflammation and defend against free radicals, and actually caused more free-radical damage."<br /><br />source:[...]
