IMO the best toner for oily/combination skin. Non drying, smells great (at least Humphreys does) and it is very refreshing. Also great for sensitive skin, since is natural and very gentle. Without a doubt my HG toner.

I have sensitive skin & I had some red patches of flaky skin on certain parts of my face. I tried so many products & tried getting rid of it. I switched to 3 different facial cleansers & different facial moisturizers but It seemed to not help @ all. I knew there had to be an easier remedy so I googled all day & night & came across Witch Hazel. I read all the reviews & everyone had something good to say about it. Went to purchase it right away & I saw results immediately ! Its all natural & I love it !! It has a weird smell but I don't really mind it Cus it does wonders & it'll fade away. I use it morning & night time after I cleanse my face. Moisturizing is still a must but I gotta say its improved my skin 100%. Highly recommended :)

My Boots pure distilled witch hazel isn't glamorous, but I like it! I mix mine with prill water and add lavender and ylang ylang EOs (and a drop or two of grapefruit seed extract to preserve) and it seems to make a nice toner. No dryness or extra oiliness and definitely cleaner pores. I'm on my second bottle and, whilst I clicked that I'd buy it again, I'm just taking it as it comes. BTW I do spray a lavender and roman chamomile hydrosol mix on my face after the toner and before using a moisturiser (mixed with a drop of jojoba).

I've been using witch hazel since I was about thirteen years old and it's something that my mother, my sister and my grandmother swear by. My skin has stayed clear, aside from the occasional premenstrual breakout. It can be a bit drying, but it's best to add a moisturizer afterwards anyway. Definitely a staple in my skincare regimen.

I can't say anything bad about it, and yet can't say another good either. It's hecka cheap for a toner. At least it doesn't break me out or irritate my skin. It is very drying for my skin though, nothing a bit of moisturizer can't fix. Smell is HORRIBLE, it smells like dirty public washrooms. The smell does not linger.

I mix this with rose water and use it as a toner. In the morning, I splash my face with water and I use this after to take off anything dirt that got onto my face overnight. I've been getting a lot less acne when I use this.

I heard all the great reveiws on using witch hazel as a toner. I tried using this about a year ago and wasn't that impressed w/it. It looked like my face was red, blotchy and bumpy. I couldn't rule witch hazel as the cause due to using other different and new products at the time. So, recently, I wanted to try it again. Note, my skin was behaving and nothing was causing any reaction. When I started to include the witch hazel into my routine, back came the redness, blotchiness and bumps. So, I stopped using it 3 days ago and the symptoms went away. Oh well, witch hazel had 2 great qualities though, 1. it was so cheap and readily available and 2. it did a great job fading an acne scar.

I use this after extractions as an antiseptic and it does a great job "calming" the area.

I've never had clear skin since I turned 11. I started using Witch hazel 2 weeks ago for a toner morning and night after washing my face, my skin is crystal clear! The pimples and blackheads are GONE! I love this stuff, and it is so cheap and will last me awhile, not even half the bottle is gone. This stuff is my HG. I can finally wear foundation without worrying about it breaking me out.

I love witch hazel! I had some really bad acne issues, but since using this I have noticed a dramatic improvement. I have very few zits now that pop up and when they do, they are dramatically smaller. I haven't noticed any irritation or anything so far and I will continue to repurchases this (plus it is so inexpensive!)

I do like using this product on my face once in awhile but i did notice that when i have cuts or small open sores it hurts my skin like alcohol so i only use this once in a great while! A large bottle will last forever and it is very cheap like 2.00 or something!

I've been exfoliating loads lately to try and speed up skin renewal ( i have some acne scarring). this has improved the look of my skin but unfortunately left me a bit red. My old toner was too harsh and was drying out the skin between my brows. This minimizes pores and sort of 'disinfected' my skin and i haven't had any spots but its also gentle and i think it actually reduces redness.

Witch hazel for the face? If you have sensitive skin, you shouldn't use this because it will make ur face very red and sore!

Back in the olden days, I used Sea Breeze and graduated to Clinique Clarifying No. 2. After about 15 years off toners, I tried witch hazel based on MUA reviews. After reading MUA reviews, I started using witch hazel. My skin, which was pretty good to begin with, looks a little better; the witch hazel is refreshing, and handy to have on hand for insect bites.

One of my mother's sisters who is recently deceased at 80, always had the most perfect skin that I ever saw. Years ago when I was in junior high school I asked her what was her secret. She said she started using witch hazel when she was in high school and continued to use it ever since. Well, even at 80 her skin was fantastic. No noticable wrinkles, smooth softness, and she always looked so beautifully young. I was thinking she must have a magic potion or something that she might share, but it was witch hazel.

Needless to say, I use it as a toner daily, and I would recommend it to anyone with oily skin. Magical.

I bought a 16 oz bottle of this stuff at Sally's for under $4. I used it for a month...it didn't do anything for my skin. Not anything noticeable anyway. It didn't feel cleaner or smoother. I didn't notice any improvements in my skin. I still have a huge bottle left but it was so cheap so I don't feel too bad

I have skin that is sensitive, acne prone and dry. I bought a bottle of witch hazel from Meijer for a little over a dollar. I bought it because of the reviews on here for helping clear up skin. I use it every morning and night after I wash my face and than I use moisterizer. I don't know if it cleared up my skin but it seems to prevent breakouts a bit. I is great for removing flaky dryness and leaves my skin feeling refreshed and hydrated. Will keep using it because I haven't had to exfoliate my skin since I started using it and that is good because most products that are used for exfoliating usually irritate my sensitive skin.

I've been using Life Brand Witch Hazel USP (at Shopper's Drug Mart) for a couple of months as a toner and it's been great. It doesn't dry out my skin, hasn't made me break out, and calms my acne. The only down side is that the smell sucks... but it doesn't last. Overall, this is a great, cheap product :)
