Should I not use astringent with 25% or so alchohol? Patrick Bateman says alcohol dries the skin and makes you appear older, and wiki says astringents promote clogging of the pores (which is the opposite of what I want, and goes against what I though astringent was for).
The problem I have with my skin is clogged pores on my nose and forehead which, while generally invisible to everyone who isn't myself standing an inch from a mirror, occasionally turn into visible blemishes and are always a source of annoyance and contributor to poor self-image.
If astringents aren't the best way to deal with this, then what should I use instead?

it's effeminate as hell to talk about but it works
And you might as well tell me active ingredients are in that product since I doubt I'll be able to find the exact same thing here.
the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
I'm not keen on experimenting with something that doesn't come with a personal internet recommendation.
I use Proactiv too, but only for my nightly routine since I don't like the moisturizer enough to wear it while awake and I find I can't make it all last from shipment to shipment if I use the stuff twice a day. Also, I think I may've initially started reducing my use after it dried my skin off my face from overuse.
Proactiv has some serious drying problems. It never actually helped me out, just made my skin crackle. It sounds like an exfoliant is your best bet.

I recommend Vichy Normaderm Pure Astringent Toner, which smells, feels, and works fantastic.
I'm not quite sure what's in it, but as far as astringents are concerned, this one always finds some sort of trapped dirt or grease to clean off of my face, even after thorough cleansing.
Remember that regular rountine of using cleanser, astringent/toner, moisturizer, weekly exfoliant, and night cream are essential to keeping your skin free of most problems!
