I started having hormonal acne around my cycle and became very frustrated. I decided to go back to the basics....but with a twist. I remembered using witch hazel in the past and figured I didn't have much to lose. I really love the Biore formula. I've noticed a decrease in inflammation and less breakouts. I have now incorporated it into my skincare routine, even outside of my cycle. It isn't strong and doesn't dry me out. Overall, my skin feels refreshed afterwards.
