The fragrance was familiar and only recently did I ask what she was using, as their lotion bottles rarely have familiar labels. When she said it was Sea Breeze I couldn't wait to buy it and found it at Walmart. I'm looking for more and it is not available. Now I'll be keeping an eye out for Sea Breeze at Walmart - then I'll buy a case of it. It is not harsh ~ it is tropical and refreshing.

I have been following your blog for about 2 weeks now and I love all your reviews and posts but just haven't gotten to posting! but onward to my real point of posting any responses...<br /><br />After reading about Sea Breeze I was interested in trying some even if it was the new formula because I have always struggled with acne and have been looking for a good strong astringent. I went to my local Walmart to pick up a bottle and found they have brought back the Old Original Formula Sea Breeze Astringent. I looks exactly like the photo you posted! And it is NOT the new formula "actives". It is also dated the year of 2010 so I can only assume this is the long awaited re-release!! So be on the look out for it!!<br /><br />As for the astringent itself, I've never used it before but seen the brand before. I'm only in my early 20's so I haven't known about it very long...I tried it out tonight and I LOVE IT!! It's so great and I love love the tingle!! Thanks so much for posting about this, I think I have found my new favorite astringent!!<br /><br />also to let you know: my local Walmart is in Northern IndianaBrookenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923437194678664102.post-78846545971254764702010-02-23T20:15:49.838-08:002010-02-23T20:15:49.838-08:00I remember using Sea Breeze as my first astringent...I remember using Sea Breeze as my first astringent, but it was the greenish-blue colored one.

And btw, you should see if you can sell a bottle from Big Lots on ebay or something?

So um...it seems that you're using an older product! If Idelle has owned them since 2003, the bottles you have are at least eight years old? Thanks so much for doing that detective work! If Sea Breeze wasn't about to launch the original formula in Walmart next month, I would tell you to buy all that can from your Big Lots and sell 'em on ebay and make a pretty penny!

Never even heard of that company.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14394537674613961372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923437194678664102.post-42779171785709215042010-02-23T17:00:50.748-08:002010-02-23T17:00:50.748-08:00Cutiegingerbread: lol!!

I'm curious too, because I haven't used it in a looooong time (I don't even remember how it worked for me, it's been so long). lol. :)<br /><br />Miss Go Lightly: Yay! So glad someone else remembers old school Sea Breeze! I can't wait to see what you think of it now, so many years later. Keep me posted? :)<br /><br />Megan: OMG!! 10-0-6!!!! LOL!!! I haven't thought about that toner in YEARS! Man...I wish that was still around! :(<br /><br />Ashwini: Interesting! Like I mentioned in my post, it's definitely a love/hate thing with Sea Breeze, so I guess I know which side you fall on! lol. :) Glad you found another toner that works for you! Yay!<br /><br />Hana: What a funny story! I wonder if maybe it works better on more "mature" skin? I'll have to get a bottle and see for myself what happens! lol. And thanks for sharing that great deal! I noticed that the "try me" stickers have been removed from the boxes because the deal was only good through January, so I guess we missed it. :(<br /><br />Anon: Thanks for reminding me that a lot of people used to use Sea Breeze on their scalps, like a pre-shampoo treatment for dandruff, etc. I had totally forgotten about that! :)<br /><br />Trixie: I wonder if the Sea Breeze you've been purchasing at Big Lots is the newer formula? Can you click on the drugstore.com link in this post and see if those are the same bottles that you've been finding at your Big Lots? Because according to this new story, the relaunch is going to be exclusive to Walmart and it's not starting until March. So it would crazy if your B.L. was getting these way ahead of everyone else!
