Witch Hazel

I'm 22 and I was breaking out really bad I didn't know why, so I tryed everything to proactive to tea tree oil which just made me acne worse. I didn't know what else to do it was really putting me down to the point where I didn't want to go anywhere. So my last resort was to surf you tube and see what other people were trying, I found a useful video and the girl said witch hazel helped out her skin alot. So I went to walmart the next day and bought it,and the first 2 weeks of using it ALL my acne vanished I couldn't believe it, It's magic in a bottle I wont ever stop using this product.

I've used witch hazel on and off consistently since around December, and every time I go through a bottle, it works wonders. I've found it VERY helpful for my minor body acne. I've had acne on my chest and back since I was approximately 13. It's the most awful feeling in the world, I know. Mine's not severe in any way; on my chest, I get lots of oil plugs that turn into whiteheads. On my back, I get those sporadic, enormous, extremely painful, inflamed mega-pimples. Witch hazel always seems to do the trick. I take a cotton ball and soak it in witch hazel, then liberally (gently) wipe down my neck, shoulders, chest, and back twice a day, once in the morning, and once after an evening shower. It works for me. Now, for my face. I don't have bad acne at all, just noting. My skin is super-oily though, so I ALWAYS get oil plugs, whiteheads, and blackheads, with the occasional big, bad pimple on my chin, which I have one right now for the first time in two months :( But anyways, back to the point! :) I usually take pure aloe (from the plant) and wipe it across my face, then once that dries, follow up with a witch-hazel-soaked cotton ball. Note: It does seem really sticky, but the mixture dries and creates a soft sheen. When I wake up in the morning, my skin is always left smooth, glowing, tight, and best of all, pimple-free!

I would get it if you have oily skin, it is nice.

I LOVE THIS STUFF!!!!! It makes my skin feel super clean and fresh. I love the smell of it and it is totally cheap. It feels very refreshing to clean your face with witch hazel and it makes your skin feel very tight and clean. I believe witch hazel is the best cleaner as I wash my face in the shower and then with witch hazel and a cotton ball. I always see remaining dirt on my face after my shower so I use this stuff all the time.

I use this as a toner and it does just what it is supposed to and more. It cleans off any cleanser or oil that may be left behind after I wash my face. In addition it makes my skin softer and when I use it my skin had a nice healthy glow about it.

This stuff is awesome. I use it as a toner after I wash my face. It doesn't leave any residue AT ALL (unlike the proactive toner) and the smell lasts only until it dries. I don't get zits ever, but my face gets red sometimes (not in the rosy, glowing way) and witch hazel brings down the redness and any irritation. I get bumpy red patches on my upper arms and it helps that too. Also, if your skin is ever irritated from an allergic reaction or chafing or anything, it will soothe that a lot. It's cheap and you can buy it at most grocery stores with a pharmacy or drugstore and the bottle lasts forever. I find that if you pour a few drops into a CLEAN hand and rub it onto your face gently that it goes further and you irritate your face less than if you apply it with a cotton pad. Also, I'm sure a lot of dust and bacteria builds up on cotton pads, no matter how sealed your bag of them is.

I have only been using this product for four days day. I went to Henry's Farmer's Market and purchased Thayers brand original witch hazel with aloe vera. It has a pleasant scent and is not distilled so you receive all the benefits of the natural tannins. It doesn't sting and makes for a great toner after cleansing! The bottom line is that four days ago my acne was so horrible and inflamed that I refused to leave the house. Since using the witch hazel three times a day, my skin is almost completely clear. I noticed my pores under my eyes and on my nose have been greatly reduced. After cleansing (I use Is Clinical Cleansing Complex) I would apply the witch hazel. I would also cleanse and apply again before bed. I would also apply the witch hazel mid day. It cools, heals and closes up your pores. It has pushed my black heads and white heads to the surface and out. It stops bleeding, pussing and works great on open or popped acne!

I went through a bad patch and had severe acne for awhile most likely brought on by stress. I took stuff that my dermotologist gave me including a face wash that did work, but completely stripped my face and ruined the balance. I then battled with oily skin. I switched make up that helped tame the oil for a little while. Then I came upon Dickenson's Witch Hazel Toner. This stuff is gold in a bottle for your face. It completely restored my skin's balance in under 2 weeks. Since using this product in combination with Cetaphil face wash for normal to oily skin and switching to Everday Minerals makeup I have not had one breakout. My skin has been clear for over a month now and still looks GREAT! If you're fighting with oily or combination skin I highly reccomend this product. PS:Stay away from harsh cleansers. They will only work temporarily. They'll strip your skin of oils and ruin it's balance causing more acne. ;) good luck!

The cure to my acne is this: Wash my face with baby mild Dr. Bronner's bar soap. Add to a bottle of T.N. Dickinson's witch hazel with 5 drops of tea tree oil (astringent and scar healing), 3 drops of eucalyptus oil (to open pores), 8 drops of lavender oil (to calm redness and promote healing), 3 drops of lemon oil (natural toner) USE QUALITY ESSENTIAL OILS the kind that is sold for scented potpourri is full of harmful chemicals. Sometimes I put argon oil or coconut oil (which has antibacterial properties) on the dry areas as moisturizer but do not use too much. This takes time, sometimes a month to see results because it will purge your skin of the bacteria and toxins beneath the skin and at first it will seem like it's getting worse. If this doesn't work for you then maybe your diet is unbalanced or you need more water. DO NOT use silicic acid, it will not permanently fix your acne problem it could burn your skin and cause your pores to stop producing their own oils and be dependent on it.

it works
