Cons:
None so far.. the smell is barely noticeable, guys.
I am using Dickinson's Witch Hazel, and it has improved my face dramatically in four days. Since I hit 17 y/o, my skin stopped being flawless, but the acne was always controllable. Last year I made the mistake of using Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash. It destroyed my face and the acne spiraled out of control. I went from wash to wash, product to product to find a way to reverse the effects of Oil-Free Acne Wash. Some products would work somewhat and then stop working. Some would seem to fix things but they end up turning against my skin. I even tried baking soda on my face, and that one works awesome for a while, but later it just doesn't do anything anymore. Witch Hazel saved my life. It's amazing. My sleep patterns are off, because that's the life of a neuro major, but my face has been saved thanks to this product. Now I am looking for something to rid myself of the discoloration caused by acne. Witch Hazel has eliminated ALL the bumps, cystic / non-cystic.

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 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:
It's low cost, easy and shrinks/cleans pores

I use vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid) to treat my acne...life saver... been using it for years and it's the only thing that ever worked

Pros:
It does help calm down acne for "ME".
Cons:
Depends on where you get it, the costs can be a bit pricey.
I have tried everything except throw horse manure on my face, because I have hormone break outs which are the worst, it can get real frustrating really quick. You go to the store and look at all the "pricey" acne quick fixes, and it is a real shame what manufactures pass off as so called "cures" for acne. The nice pretty packages, big words, and slick prices are really a hoax. Get the Dickinsons facial toner, not the regular witch hazel, you have to be specific in which kind of toner you pick up. It costs a little more in some stores, but it can also be hard to find. I just happen to get the last bottle off the shelf of this one drug store, and debated about buying it because of the price. I'm glad I brought it. Try it, you may not like the smell, but its better than $$$$ wasted on pretty botteled toners that don't work.

Pros:
Inexpensive, accessible, natural, non-irritating
Cons:
The smell
I bought a big 16 oz. bottle of Dickinson's Witch Hazel at Wal-Mart for less than $3. I used to use Pro-Activ's toner, but I wanted to switch to something that was gentler and more effective, so I gave the witch hazel a shot. I have to say that I am not disappointed at all. I apply it with a cotton ball after washing my face twice a day, and it leaves my skin feeling fresh and clean, not tight and dry. My breakouts have been minimized over the past week since I started using this stuff. The smell takes some getting used to (there are no added fragrances -- just the stinky smell of pure witch hazel!), but it's not really a big deal for me. It's a great astringent for those with oily and acne-prone complexions!

Pros:
Not many for me.
Cons:
It has a horrible oder, didn't work well for me.
I was using the zapzyt acne pack for about 10 months, it really helped my acne go from severe to just the occasional pimples. I decided to add a toner into my regimen and saw that witch hazel was well liked so I tried it. I have only been using it for a week, and hadn't noticed anything until now, I have completely broken out on the right side of my face from my nose down :S They aren't huge nasty pimples but they are there! So I decided to go back to just using my zapzyt acne pack for now, maybe I will try apple cider vinegar next!
It may work for others, but it didn't quite work for me, good luck! :)
Pros:
Cleans face very well, doesn't dry skin, very affordable
