What kind, did you try? Although it's the best smell in the world, it doesn't bother me too much but I use this one that smells like as you guessed it cucumber Thayer Cucumber Witch Hazel
My acne is not as severe as yours, so I don't know if what I do would help you but we can give it a shot, right?
My routine is as it follows:
AM
----------------------------------------------------------------------
PM
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Every Friday night each week
----------------------------------------------------------------------
And that's it, my skin has gotten way better and something that has also helped millions is that I went on the pill, since my acne is hormonal.
Remember to patch test and to not abuse your skin, the gentler the better!!!! There are things that might or might not work for you, it takes a while to find what's best for your skin. If nothing works, you can always try PocketDerm or a dermatologist around your area, don't be afraid to ask for professional help. Good luck!
I have been using thayers cucumber witch hazel w/aloe...love it! It's refreshing and slightly moisturizing and has no alcohol.

My favorite hobby is wet shaving
Witchhazel is a good after shave
I started DE shaving a couple weeks ago and I recently picked up:
I ordered the Ogallala Bay Rum Bonanza Sample pack, so I'm looking forward to trying them out. I also plan on eventually trying some TOBS and maybe Proraso as well. I like variety. :)
It was Thayer's and I think I got it from well.ca originally, but they also have in on amazon (not sure if well only ships in Canada). My old grocery store used to carry it in the crunchy beauty/cleaning products section too - so they might have it in other health food stores.
Here's it is on amazon
I just got it in the mail yesterday. I haven't tried it yet, since I started using a new cleanser and don't want to start more than one new product at a time.
I like that the cucumber one doesn't have any added fragrance, which is the reason I chose it over the other Thayers toners. It smells just like cucumbers, and it's not a strong scent either. It's only $7 on Amazon if you want to give it a try.
SKin type: It is a parched desert on my face, except recently I've been noticing that my forehead gets oily. This place is where I get the most closed comedones; but I have pigmentation scarring on the sides of my face from past acne battles. I'm not sure whether my skin may be changing to combination on my face, or if it's just because I need a better routine that's not so harsh on my skin.
I am considering abandoning ship on my old routine completely and adopting this new one. I understand the implications that completely changing my routine may cause. My skin, however, has felt incredibly taut and dry the past few weeks regardless of how much I moisturize with my Aveeno knock-off or my Maracuja oil.
I'm considering this new routine.
Morning:
Night:
This is where I am considering different options. I'd like to also implement Alpha Hydrox's Retinol ResQ into my night routine, but I'm not exactly sure where I can put it. Also, I have Tarte's Pure Maracuja Oil and am considering putting a few drops that as an extra moisturizer after my night lotion. Would this go prior to my retinol? I am not going to purchase this Tarte product when I run out, though (this was a present) and will probably use the jojoba oil as a replacement. I don't think there's much difference between the two? Am I right?
Also, in what part of my routine can I incorporate a scar gel? I currently have Mederma, but am considering the Alpha Hydrox spot lightening cream when I run out. Would it be better to forego the retinol since I intend to use the AHA lotion and simply use the spot lightening cream instead?
Can I get some feedback on my routine?
Skin type: Normal to dry
Acne: Minimal

So when it comes to acne & whatnot, looking up the pH levels of your cleansers & toners would be great. I'm reading this right now and it's super helpful.
Basically most cleansers (even water is 7 & traditional/regular soap is 9-10 pH) are over 5.5, the target pH of your skin (which is acidic, as it's less than 7). Searching for a lower-pH cleanser is a great way to go, but also toners are acidic to balance your skin back to the pH it needs to be after cleansing so it can ward off bacteria & whatnot (since bacteria doesn't thrive in acidic -pH 5.5-ish- environments).
I haven't looked at alcoholic vs. non-alcoholic properties in my stuff so I'm not sure what your situation warrants, but yeah I use Thayer's Cucumber Witch Hazel with Aloe Formula Alcoholic-Free Toner :)
Edit: here are some great resources. pH levels of toners & pH levels of cleansers.
Skin Type: combination/dehydrated maybe??/acne-prone | Country/Climate I'm in: hot/humid/sometimes dry | Top Skin Concern: large pores, oil control in T-zone, pit-like scars on temples

Recently bought the Thayer's Witch Hazel to replace my previous toner (which was from the same Carezone Doctor's solution line) thinking it would be good since I like using watery toners with a cotton pad to wipe off oil after washing my face (dunno if that actually does anything). However, today I noticed my face was in a thin layer of oil, basically the same post-wash oily feeling as when I used to not use toner or anything and just suffered with a dry cracking face after washing. Not sure if this is what people who "broke out from Thayer's" also experienced except my skin just didn't break out?? Any speculation/experience with Thayer's will help!
Also, my Secret Key Starting Treatment Essence Rose Edition finally came in from Yesstyle! It looks really watery and you apply it with a cotton pad, so hopefully it can replace my Thayer's!
Thayers witch hazel toner with Cucumber has worked miracles for me. http://www.amazon.com/Thayer-Cucumber-Witch-Hazel-Formula/dp/B001BR97A0
Once or twice a week, exfoliate your head/face/neck with St Ives Apricot Scrub (2% salicylic acid) in the shower and finish by toning with witch hazel. I use Thayer's, but you can get plain generic witch hazel just about anywhere, like Target. Just be sure it is alcohol free, and a little goes a long way. Exfoliating will clean out the pores, and toning will close them back up so that dirt can't easily get back in, as well as moisturize.
Other than that, just wash with soap and water 2-3 times per day, including shower. You may want to get a daily face soap, like Cetaphil.
