:icon_eek: Hahahaha! you want to talk about strong! ALL through my teens and twenties (in a land far far away,LOL!) and even after when I would get a break out, I used the mouthwash LISTERENE on my face! It actually smelled and felt like that Seabreeze stuff they sell and my skin was smooth and clear as glass! You just had to brace yourself a little if you used it full strength as I did, it has a really cold tingle at first. I started it one day when I looked at the ingredients and realized a toner I was using for my breakouts had almost the same in it! Besides it beat trying to swish it in my mouth! YUCK! But my skin looked great! I was in boarding school and all the girls would always use up your stuff so I got my skin care to the bare bones and with no boys around(except going to parties on weekends) I didn't wear makeup to class. So I washed with natural oatmeal,milk and honey bar, listerene toner, and an oil free moisturizer and eye cream from the health food store. I also used a mens soft shaving brush to wash my face (with the cleansing bar) and used a sunscreen during the day. Back then I just put Vaseline on my lips and lashes and that was it. Boy were those the days! hehe! But I still know people who SWEAR by Listerene as a toner! Some do dilute it with some water. What ever works right? It DOES work great on break outs. Anyway, I am never surprised what we will go through, smells and all! in our quest! When I think of all the things my friends and I have done and used I have to laugh! Especially at the comment of going around smelling like a salad,LOL! But you are right, it is an aquired smell I believe:icon_lol: ,it is pretty strong! Good luck! :icon_love Chermarie
