Witch Hazel is something my mother recommended that I use when I first started breaking out. This astringent does a good job of removing any leftover dirt or makeup after you have cleansed, and gives you a very large dose of Witch Hazel.
My skin absolutely hated this stuff! It severely stripped and dried out my already-dry skin, as well as actually worsening my acne. If I had any open wounds (popped pimples, picked spots, scratches, etc), this stuff would sting so bad that it made my eyes water. I also found out that I was allergic to Witch Hazel after trying another Witch Hazel astringent. This was one of the worst mistakes I made when first starting my skincare. Astringents are also very outdated, and a gentle toner with centella asiatic, aloe vera, and/or ceramides is a much better choice for your skin. I definitely recommend checking out what Peach Slices, CosRX, and La Roche-Posay have to offer instead.
