Pros:

Cleared up skin on face and chest and also made my combination skin less oily.

Cons:

Smells funny, but it's nor horrible.

My face cleared up considerably after trying almost everything for about four years. The acne on my chest also cleared up and my face is less oily.

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:

Doesn't leave stickiness some toners do, doesnt make skin feel tight, gentle, nice clean feel, cheap.

Cons:

none

I love this stuff. Ive always hated using toners because of how they feel, some are better than others of course but I love this stuff. Its nice and gentle which is a great, refreshing step inbetween the cleanser and the bp.

Pros:

Non drying. No fragrance.

Cons:

None

I have used this for many years. Works much better on my oily skin than alcohol based toners/astringents, which dry skin out and trick it into thinking that it needs to produce more oil. I use only at night to remove makeup residue left after washing.

Pros:

Effective, natural, and inexpensive.

Cons:

None thus far

I love witch hazel. I have been using Dickinson's "Nothing But Clean Facial Toner" that contains mostly witch hazel but includes aloe vera, chamomile, and other soothing, all-natural ingredients. I have heard that plain witch hazel smells kind of weird, but it seems these added ingredients give it a decent smell. I have fairly mild acne that has persisted for 9 years, and I have finally found the right combination of products to control my complexion. Of those products, witch hazel is indispensable. It makes my skin smooth and appears to be helping with the prevention of breakouts. It's no miracle product, but it's the best toner I've ever used (I've tried dozens, including the Proactiv line).

Pros:

Very cheap effective astrigent.

Cons:

Initial smell is not great,but fades quickly!

I started using T.N. Dickinsons witch hazel while I was pregnant. I had to discontinue my prescriptions and had horrific acne my first trimester. This really helped alot. I would cleanse with jojoba oil ,then earth science facial wash.I also used earth therapeautics acne serum at night. I have develeped some allergies to propylene glycol and other stabilizers in skin care products over the years, so I had to go all natural. I've had very good results with this regimen. I still have some acne scarring,but the active cysts and pimples have diminished. I also noticed a decrease in facial oil, it was a slick even with tazorac.I would also use nelsons homeopathic acne gel occasionally. The cost for everything is around $25.00 and lasts for months. If there are any pregnant acne sufferers I hope this helps.
