Witch Hazel

I have mixed feelings about witch hazel. At first I bought the thayers alcohol free aloe Vera toner and it cleared my mild acne up wonderfully. I kept using it and my skin got super oily (it's already oily enough...) and my breakouts came back worse. So I stopped using it and my skin got less oily and calmed down a bit. I decided to try the dickonsons distilled witch hazel to see if it would work better. It cleared my skin a lot and made my red marks pretty much disappear, but my forehead was still constantly broken out in little pimples. I kept using it for weeks and then I was washing my face in the shower and it felt so...rough... And bumpy. I think it might've been the alcohol. its been a few months since then and I decided to try it again. Same thing happened. I would suggest using this maybe only a few times a week and not religiously like i was. I love the smell of witch hazel and it has great healing properties so just give it a try if you feel like you've done everything. But I have purchased a new thayers product (alcohol free rose scented) and it's working a lot better.

I am not 100% convinced as of yet. I am using Benzoyl Peroxcide in the shower and Witch Hazel when I dry my face off after getting out. My face feels amazingly smooth (acne sufferer for almost 8 years). I haven't been so confident in my face as I have the past few days. BUT !!!!! I feel two very uncomfortably sore ingrown pimples just under my nose. With both acne treatments I can't understand why this is happening. But an excellent product for softness so far. ALSO, It has helped me cure a bitch of a cold sore I had on my lip. Great.

This product is amazing, not only is it natural (if you're into that), but it also gets rid of excess oil that is on your face. It can be used on any other part of your body that has acne as well.

it works...it get rid of break outs but you have to get something else to get rid of the marks.... when use a long with septol soap or zukaru soap it works wonders

I used Dickinson's Witch Hazel, but it was very drying since it has alcohol in it. In the summer, it helped remove excess oil and tightened my pores. I loved how refreshing it felt on my skin the first couple of times especially after a nice run, but in the winter, it really dried out my skin and made it oilier, and red. Also noticed blackheads appearing on my nose. Although it did help calm down my inflamed blemishes, it wasn't immediate or noticeable. I would recommend trying Thayer's Witch Hazel as a toner instead since it doesn't have alcohol in it yet still removes dead skin and leftover makeup. I've had more luck with Thayer's instead of drugstore Witch Hazel.

I've only been using this product for a few days, but I had a terrible breakout earlier and I've added this new product to my vast amount of acne treatments. It may just be coincidence, but since I started using it, it has helped my skin a lot. My skin feels soothed and my acne is less red. What I usually do it just take a cotton swab, apply a liberal amount of Witch Hazel to the swab, and lightly dab it all over your face. If you have and particularly stubborn spots, you can also just put a few drops on one separate area.

I am an adult with acne and would try anything to make it better. This has made my skin even and clear. I actually look like I feel! The pimples have mostly disappeared and those that remain I blame on places a touch my face a lot. I love the fresh clean feeling and it beats the pricier formulas that have never really worked for me.

This product has saved my face! I will forever be a loyal customer to T.N. Dickinson's witch hazel. I use this product after washing my face in the A.M. and right before bed P.M. to make sure I get all traces of makeup/dirt off skin. Witch hazel makes my skin feel soft and healthy. I prefer this brand over the regular drug store witch hazel.. Although it does not completely clear all acne, it has cleared my face up 80% and I would definitely recommend this product to anyone struggling with stubborn acne (hormonal) especially around the chin/jawline. I couldn't live without it!

This is a great product, and helps with a lot of different problems one might have with the skin. It's a great adition to my daily skin care routine. I use this in the morning after cleansing face. My face does not need extra moisture in the morning because this product is, at least for my skin, non drying and is great at locking in moisture. In the evening i steam my face with sea salt and water and apply moisture after that. It has been the ONLY thing that has worked for me after years of trying to find the right treatment for me. And for the smell, it really is not a problem at all. After a few days of using witch hazel, I got used to the smell, and I really don't understand what people are complaining about. If you have problems with your skin that has lasted longer and is more severe than a single pimple, you will ignore the smell because this is such a great product.

my acne has come along way my acne was moderate and now it is light, i was only looking for a product to help my oily skin since its summer. the morning after using this product i broke out all over my jaw line. i have stopped using this product two days ago and already there are less break outs. save your money and don't buy this product.
