When my face was covered with big painful cystic acne due to lớn a skincare regimen I was trying at the time (Clinique Anti-Blemish Skin System – nhận xét later on), no amount of medicines và trips lớn my derma could remove it (I still don’t trust Clinique because of THAT experience!).
So I thought of turning khổng lồ natural ingredients. After searching for hours, I decided on trying Witch Hazel as a toner. I thought to myself, if it won’t work, there won’t be much difference, my face is already ruined anyway.
Benefits of Witch Hazel
Witch Hazel helps prevent & treat:
acneskin soresbruisesredness and swellingingrown hairspsoriasis or eczemaoily skinexcess sweatingvaricose veinscracked or blistered skininsect bitespoison ivyirritated scalpsun damage and melanomarazor burnmucous membrane inflammationhemorrhoidsallergic reactionsSo off I went to Healthy Options, the premier retailer of organic stuff in Manila. I originally wanted lớn get the Thayers Rose Petal Witch Hazel Toner but, unfortunately, it was not available at the time yet so I picked up the Dickinson’s Witch Hazel Toner.
My face is oily và acne-prone, & I live in the Philippines, which is very hot và humid, so I wanted lớn get the pink one which was alcohol-free. But it was also not available so I ended up with the yellow one which has 14% alcohol.
What Dickinson’s say:
Dickinson’s Witch Hazel Toner. As you can see, I am about to use up my third bottle.Ingredients và claimsDuring the first week of using the toner, I did not notice anything. It did not improve my face nor did it exacerbate it. It did not irritate my skin despite the alcohol content.

But I continued using it and I started noticing improvements on the oilyness of my skin on the second week. I still get oily after 5 hours but not like before where I get oily right as I leave our house. Because my oils were somewhat controlled, my face stopped getting acne* và my existing acne started shrinking (together with the help of my other Holy Grail Product: Epiduo).
*together with proper cleansing of the face, i.e. Remove makeup, facial cleanser, toner, moisturizer
Overtime, I also noticed that my pores started shrinking. They’re still there, but it is no longer as huge as before, especially around my forehead and on the sides of my nose.
I continued using the toner và I am soooo happy with it that I am about khổng lồ use up my third bottle. It also helps that it only cost about Php 600 for one 447 mL bottle. (One bottle lasts me for 6 months). I still get acne sometimes but nowhere near as before, & they disappear after 2 days anyway. Perhaps because it’s natural, but I noticed that my skin does not build up a resistance to it unlike with other skincare products.
So if you are experiencing severe acne và have the same skin types as mine, I recommend trying out this one – just a small bottle to lớn see how you react with it. If you have dry skin, perhaps you can try the pink bottle, though I can’t really vouch for it since I never had dry skin.
The Thayer’s Witch Hazel with Rose Water was recently available in the Philippines so I am trying that one next. I will update you on how that one performs. But I still recommend the Dickinson’s one if you can get your hands on it.
So that’s it for my experience with the Witch Hazel. I am so thankful that I decided to lớn try it out because it literally saved my skin from further damage. If you are using the same product, let me know how it performed on you. I hope it did well.
