If you're like me, you're always looking for cheaper, more natural remedies to help clear your acne problem.
Well, it turns out, witch hazel is actually a great product that you can use as a natural toner for your face.
If you didn't know, toning is vital in any skin care regimen.
"Toning re-balances the skin so it can absorb moisturizers. Cleansing interrupts the chemical balance of the skin, affecting the skin's ability to absorb - that's why a toner is vital"
And actually, if you read the ingredients on most of the in-store acne toners, such as AcneFree, you'll find that a lot of them actually contain witch hazel.
Where can I purchase Witch Hazel?
- Drug Stores
- Natural Food Stores
I've found that it can be purchased at most drug stores or natural foods stores. However, you may want to call around before you end up wasting your entire day trying to find this stuff.
Witch Hazel Side Effects

How to use...
- Use witch hazel instead of regular toner.
- Only use twice a day.
Treatment is simple. Instead of using your regular toner, which usually comes with your three-step acne product, you'll use witch hazel.
Example: So, you'd use this in place of Proactiv's 2nd step!
Be sure to only use twice a day.
