Pros:

I like the smell! It reminds me of when I used to put this stuff on sunburns. It makes my skin feel nice, and the kind I have (with aloe vera added) hasn't ever dried me out or irritated my skin. It makes everything feel nice and smooth.

Cons:

Right after using it, my skin looks pretty frightening, but once it dries it's fine. If I run out of cotton balls, it's tough to apply.

It's great for me. I don't know if it quite helps my blemishes, but it removes makeup well, and doesn't dry my skin. I like to follow it up with aloe vera.

Pros:

Cheaaaap and easy to get. Also has other uses.

Cons:

smells strong, but not bad..just strong. you can always dilute.

I always have which hazel around. I don't actually use it on my face that much, but last night I had a few pimples that I really did not want to GROW overnight. I was going to consider that toothpaste method I always hear about, but I figured I'd just put some undiluted witch hazel on instead. Sure enough, they weren't any bigger in the morning--the pimples were actually smaller and dried out. It's not a miracle or anything(because nothing really is when it comes to stubborn acne), but I think it definitely keeps things at bay and who knows--maybe long term use works even better! I would only say to use a good moisturizer during the day if you plan to use this stuff regularly because it does contain alcohol which can dry you out a lot.

worked super quick for me!
i've struggled with moderate/severe acne for most of my life, and as a result i have a ton of leftover redness and scarring. i finally saw a dermatologist for the acne itself, and the prescriptions (doxycycline and birth control) helped with the physical pimples, whiteheads, etc. but the redness never really faded, probably partially because of how pale i am. i'd heard of witch hazel as a remedy before, but i didn't know we had it at my house until about two weeks ago. i figured "why not?" and have been applying it every night since, after i remove any makeup i may have been wearing, and my skin already looks so much better! i was skeptical at first, and now i wonder why because this stuff is like magic. granted, i still have a fair amount of redness with the occasional pimple or two on my chin (my biggest problem area), but there really has been a huge improvement from what i've noticed. obviously i can't vouch for everybody else, but if you're someone like me whose skin has mostly cleared up but are still left with redness and scarring, i seriously recommend giving witch hazel a try! (also, the brand i've been using is t.n. dickinson's!)

Pros:

Improved acne, makes skin smooth, shrinks pores, does NOT dry out skin, great for combination skin

Cons:

N/A

I love this stuff. It is the first and only toner I will EVER use. It goes on smooth, leaves skin smooth. Some people don't like the smell, but it does not bother me one bit and you can't smell it after it dries on your skin. I use an off-brand kind from a dollar store and it's amazing. It didn't clear up my acne COMPLETELY (what does?), but it definitely helped it ALOT during my "hormonal" times.
