Cons:
Others say it smells.. however it does not bother me. It smells clean
Clears acne, controls oil. Makes skin look great and its cheap.. too good to be true!
July 14, 2009
Pros:
I have used it for a day or two, and it has helped out with everything, such as redness, any scrapes I have, acne, blackheads, and eye circles. Really great results.
Cons:
The smell is an acquired taste.
Use it once a day all over your face and neck, and if you would like to on cuts and bruises on arms and back.

Pros:
It makes a good astringent and toner. A completely natural remedy. You notice results almost immediately after you use the product.
Cons:
Causes temporary redness and irritation that can make application uncomfortable. Works well sometimes and doesn't others. It takes a pretty large quantity to treat the entire face.
Despite the few cons that there are, Witch Hazel is a great product. I can't stand to dump chemicals on my sensitive skin, so I love that witch hazel is natural and not medicated. Although it may sound strange, I really love the smell of this stuff; it's fresh and earthy. The product works very quickly, and I am over all happy with it. I would definitely suggest that everyone at least tries it!

Pros:
Cleared up my skin after no other drugstore acne stuff could.
Cons:
Smells a little funny.
Even with my horribly sensitive skin, witch hazel helped clear my skin up, and I haven't had a break out in months. I went through many, many other acne products and this stuff--which, luckily, is one of the cheapest out of all of them--worked the best.

Pros:
Works - for me anyway
Doesn't over dry
Cheap
Cons:
Using cotton pads to apply
I've used witch hazel for probably the better part of 15 years (off/on) and I always enjoyed the way it made my skin feel. Would have to agree on using the Dickinson's brand. Tried some generics and they didn't seem to work the same. I actually enjoy the smell. Bottom line : works wonders for me - for a few bucks I'd definitely say "give it a try"

Pros:
Low cost, does not cause excessive dryness, does not cause flaking or peeling, anti-inflammatory, astringent; this alternative botanical has a long history and is well studied; non-toxic preparations are available (but most RX preps have alcohol)
Cons:
Most preparations are packaged as a liquid, denatured by the addition of alcohol. The odor is not strong, but it is reminiscent of the bark from which it is distilled. I find the smoky fragrance preferable to that of most medicated pad products.
Witch hazel is often a better option than many commercial acne preparations. Like salicylic acid, Witch Hazel originated as a native American herbal remedy prepared from bark. Witch Hazel is still prepared from bark, and has an earthy, bark-like smell. The smell is from volatile oils and tannins, which appear to have direct effects in skin and blood cell activity. Alcohol is commonly added to commercial preparations as a preservative, but typically not in amounts which would cause stinging or harsh stripping of skin oils. It will generally not eliminate acne entirely, but can substantially reduce the redness, discomfort and swelling associated with acne, and as a result may also reduce the tendency for secondary contact dermatitis due to itching and rubbing, and the deeper scarring due to strong breakouts. I find my skin less oily but not dried out. I normally prepare my own medicated pads using cotton cosmetic circles and a recycled acne medicated pad type of plasti

Pros:
Great as a cheap toner. I use it all the time.
Cons:
None really
I use it because it is cheap and it works.

Pros:
Affordable, gentle on skin, cleans skin
Cons:
none
I'm a swimmer with the occasional pimple but my skin is always really dry. I wanted to find a product that would keep my skin clear without drying it out anymore. It works so well and is great for your skin!

Pros:
I have only been using this for about a week and I rly do think I love it. its rly good if you have sensitive skin. I tried using ACV which turned me lobster red and smelled horrible. This I feel rly helps keep my skin clean and heals break out fast!
Cons:
a lot of people keep complaning about the smell but I dont think its that bad I actually sorta like the smell. Be careful since it has a little bit of alcohol init, it may dry your skin ONLY if your using a ton of other acne products or have dry skin
I havent used a toner in a while since Ive read its not necessary but I realy love this in combination w/ aloe vera gel after it dries. When Im done washing my face w/ my acne washes, I put this on w/ a cotton ball and it takes of spots that washes didnt, or the residue left from the products. I think you should try it because its really worth a shot to add in your routine. =)
