This toner is refreshing and effective, with no added chemicals that I need to be concerned about.

Most drugstore brand toners and astringents contain artificial coloring and fragrance. Why would I need a brightly blue colored toner? To give my skin a blue cast?

Things can be absorbed transdermally. I don't know that there is any proven harm in applying artificial color to your skin, but why take the chance?

I also appreciate that there is only a minimal amount of alcohol added to this product. My skin is dry enough as it is.

This is a great natural formula. I use it on a cotton ball, plus I pour some into the plastic packaging that contains facial cleansing cloths. Those cloths are typically too dry to suit me, and Dickinson's offers the perfect solution.

I use it for my face, and it kind of evens out the tone. My face feels soooo soft and refreshed after applying this product. I love it and will be a lifelong user of this product.

This product is truly amazing in its simplicity and overall effectiveness. After years of suffering with milia on my chin, they are now gone after using this for just one week! I tried everything - from eliminating foods from my diet to different face washes, toners, moisturizers, etc. I now realize that it wasn't what I was doing that was causing my chin to constantly break out - it was what I wasn't doing. I was not using an effective toner after cleansing. I also realize that the fewer ingredients in a product, the better. My skin just didn't need all the additives that most beauty products have in them. Some of the other benefits are softer, smoother skin. Even with the 14% alcohol, my skin isn't dry at all. I use twice each day, morning and evening after cleansing.

As far as the smell goes - really? Who cares? If it does the job and the end result is as good as I've gotten, I could care less about the smell. Besides, the smell goes away as soon as it dries on the skin which is very quickly. I plan to use this toner for the rest of my life!!

I'm African American and for some reason my skin has started to take a turn for the worse. I've tried tons of creams, soaps, etc...but the dark spots on my face from white/black heads were not fading. My pores also started to get noticable, my skin was extremelly oil yet dry in some areas. A year ago I had none of these problems, but now that I've started to wear makeup to hide my dark spots etc, it just made my pores stand out even more and by the end of the day my face was super shiny--Gross!

After reading some great things about witch hazel from another site. I decided to give it a try. I absolutely love it! Yes, it's a tad drying (just a little bit), but it makes me skin oh soooo soft and smooth that my makeup just glides on. I definitely recommend it, and also maybe invest in a good facial serum to help with the slight drying. It does smell really gross, for me I instantly choke up from the smell, but it fades very quickly and shouldn't stop someone from trying it out.

Oh and on a side note for anyone with dark spots on thier face (I've been taking vitamin E, internally for a week, and they've cleared up considerably). Just goes to show that I should have been taking my moms advice a long time ago.

I recently decided to add an astringent to my skin care regimen just because I could.

It was a great idea.

I use Dickinson's Witch Hazel (Pore Perfecting Toner) every time after I wash my face. It leaves my skin feeling softer, more refreshed, and most importantly to me, cleaner than it did when I didn't use an astringent. I've even noticed that it helped with my acne.

I also appreciate that this is a 100% all natural product. It contains no dyes or mucky chemicals that could possibly affect your skin.

I believe the product says it is non-drying, or even moisturizing, but make no mistake about it: this product contains alcohol. Therefore, it will dry out your skin. It did dry my skin slightly, but that was easily remedied. Using a moisturizer after washing your face (which is good for your skin in any case) will take care of the dryness.

Another plus of this product is the low price. It's difficult to find effective skin care products that you can use daily with minimal impact on your wallet.

In conclusion, if you are not already using an astringent, I suggest that you begin, and that you give Dickinson's Witch Hazel a try. If you are already using an astringent, then buying and using Dickinson's Witch Hazel would be a cheap skin care experiment that I would recommend.

I use this witch hazel instead of the disposable moist pads. Saves on packaging and money, and I love the way it makes me feel. I put a thin washcloth into a plastic bag, moisten a bit with the Dickinson's and add a little water. All day this can be used to wash my hands and face. If the day is hot, it feels sooo good on the face and neck. It puts me in a happy mood, uplifting. If the day is really muggy, I go through two washcloths. Then I take them home and toss them in the washer. I use unscented laundry soap and softener, so no scents are clashing.

Some people say they do not like the scent of witch hazel but to me it is so fresh and refreshing. After you use it, the smell goes away. Makes my skin feel great. I also use it at home on a cotton pad, as a toner or quick face wash.

I wouldn't want to be without this witch hazel!

My skin feels so much better after using one week! It is cheaper than any toner I've tried and it actually "de-puffs" the puffy eyes. I'm not a fan of the smell, but it fades fast. I'm not sure I want to try the scented Witch Hazel as I'm afraid it may not work as well. My forehead hasn't been this smooth in...ever!

i brought this @ my local drug store for an incredible price. i used it twice/ day. my skin felt smooth and soft immediately. it controls oil without overdrying my skin. my skintone was brighter than before. i used several brand of toner got from the asian and usa department store and online shop. this was number one most effective and valuable!!!!!

It was awesome.. it cleaned out my pore, no more acne marks and evened out my tone.. I have oil skin and this product is awesome.. it doesn't leave any res due..

I've tried it all - Proactiv, creams prescribed from the doctor, drugstore brand washes....nothing has worked since I started getting acne in middle school! I use this toner after washing with Clean and Clear's Deep Action Exfoliating scrub and my acne has significantly been reduced! I don't know why this doesn't have more reviews, it's a heaven sent product! The only negative is the smell, but that goes away after a minute :)
