Not for everyone, and certainly not for me!
My mom told me witch hazel is good for break outs, so I decided to try it instead of a rose water toner. During the first week of using it, I didn't see my skin getting any better or worse. During the second week, I started breaking out in places I have rarely before, like the sides of my cheeks, my hair line, and my temples. The pimples were on the smaller size and were some were more red than others, but none of them were whiteheads,nor turned into them. I was completely horrified. I stop wearing makeup in the summer (bedsides mascara), so going back to wearing fountain and powder in the 80 degree humid Connecticut weather (and where I worked had NO AC was a bit of struggle. I stopped using witch hazel and switched back to the Mario Badescu rose water toner and formula 10.0.6 Best Face Forward daily cleanser and their mattifying daily moisturizer, and things started to look better. I also use honey and brown sugar on my face, in the shower, two or three times a week and let it sit for five minute (works wonders on lips too!) because the sugar naturally exfoliates skin and get rid of those little pesky forehead pimples, and the Aztec Clay Mask almost every other night with apple cider vinegar. I have struggled with acne for years and at one point my face was just on big literal pimple. Getting back to basics with natural simple product is really whats best for you face. Even though Witch hazel is a natural astringent it ins't right for everybody, and don't keep using it hoping it will get better! find another natural skin-care product that instantly soothes and compliments you skin. Keep it natural! Other good natural skin-care lines I would recommend is LUSH, and Dr. Bronners.

Pros:
IT WORKS
Cons:
idk
i apply it Every day, like when i get sweaty and dirty. Or when i play outside. I apply it to a cotton ball and rub it on my face. i can see ALL OF THE DIRT AND SWEAT COME OFF on the cotton ball. Its very satisfying. So i guess it helps prevent clogged pours and acne.
USE IT!! ITS AMAZING

i would reccomend it to anyone who wants to maintaina good complexion.

Pros:
This product does not irritate or burn my skin at all. It goes on cool like most toners and works incredibly on scars, cuts, and acne. After applying I've notice how smooth my skin feels.
Cons:
The smell really bothers me! I know most don't mind it, but I do. Because it works so good, I usually try not to smell it. I would plug my nose and use a nice but not too strong scented moisturizer afterward.
I bought my Witch Hazel toner from Sally's Beauty Supply. The name brand is "Beyond Belief - Skin Renew - Witch Hazel". I've notice a lot of change after changing toners. It works pretty well and my scars on the chin is disappearing! I would recommend the product even if it smells bad!

Pros:
It is super cheap, less than 3 bucks for name brand!
Cons:
Has a funny odor, but it's not a big deal
I like that it doesn't dry my skin out and is affordable!!

Pros:
I bought the TN Dickinson's for 2.39 at Harmon's. Yes, does smell a little but is a very gentle toner. Noticed less breakouts
Cons:
Does smell a bit
It works in reducing my pore size and I have less acne breakouts now than before.
June 6, 2008
Pros:
Doesn't dry out skin; makes skin feel soft; disinfects without being as harsh as alcohol; removes some redness; reduces inflammation; helps heal acne wounds faster.
Cons:
i'm not sure how it would work on really severe cystic acne. I have had hormonal acne for years, and this has really helped calm my skin down. I use it in addition to an exfoliant, an acne wash, and sometimes cetaphil, so the whole process is long.
I'd give it a try for how cheap it is. It's worth it. My skin reacts badly to Sacyclic (spelling?) acid, so I can't use many acne toners. Witch hazel isn't too harsh and doesn't irritate my skin, but still helps tone and cleanse it. I also use it when I've been sweating to make sure it doesn't clog my pores. I'd really give it a shot.
June 5, 2008
Pros:
Didn't irritate my overly sensitive skin, Removed surface makeup/dirt, Instantly tightened pores, Felt nice on skin, Made you feel like you were freshening up your face
Cons:
Sometimes too drying, Didn't really clear up acne or redness (it just didn't irritate it), Weird smell,
I'm still looking for an amazing toner that will actually start helping me fade red spots and reduce acne, but this wasn't the one. It's great cause it's non-irritating and natural, but it really didn't show a drastic improvement in my skin health. I'll probably keep using it cause it helps me take off makeup and remove oil and dirt.

Pros:
Cheap, gentle, effective
This stuff is great for everyone, but for me ACV is much better.
ACV however can dry out the skin pretty bad for some people. Witch hazel is much more gentle.
Pros:
good for oily skin and acne
