My daughter took my granddaughter to a Doctor for severe acne,he gave her a prescription for $125.00. Instead she went to her druggest and asked what she could use. He told her to use witch hazel on cotton balls. Her acne cleared up 80%. Witch hazel costs $2.14 at Walmarts. Me having oily skin, I've been using it, it is really good. Anyone with this problem should give it a try. JOANIE FROM LA.

Make sure the witch-hazel you buy doesn't contain Isopropyl alcohol this will only irritate the skin more. Your skin needs hydration if you remove it completely your oil glands will work over time to try and re-hydrate your skin, this is will only perpetuate your acne problem. Hope this helps

Use witch hazel as an astrigent, then follow with 8% or 10% glycolic acid. Works excellent.

Try adding 15-20 drops of tea tree oil to your new bottle of Witch Hazel. Remember to label the bottle with a permanant marker and shake well before using. My teenagers and I have been using this for years. It makes a great toner and leaves a nice tingle. (if the tingle is too much, reduce the amount of tea tree oil you add) They also will spot new acne eruptions with the straight oil. Works fantastic!

I have entered this advice before but I found out firsthand that acne is serious and extremely embarrassing to a teenager. My son at 16 went to the doctor for actually another problem and being the sweet young Dr. she was, she offered me advice on his acne. She advised using NEUTROGENA soap not just for the face but the entire extremeties.This product contains Benzol Peroxide and that's the ingredient that is so helpful. He used nothing but that through his first year of college, and he's now 24 with no signs of acne.Another thing she advised is to never let shampoo water run down your face. Lean backwards when rinsing. Try this--I guarantee it works!

How do you use witch hazel? I've started using it, but i'm not quite sure on what to do exactly.

I also use those baby wipes. Also to help clear up acne take an aspirin, crush it, add a few drops of water to make a thick paste. Dab that on the pimple. It's the main ingredient in a lot of acne meds. it's Salicylic acid!

Here in Canada I can only get the witch hazel in 50 ml (1/5 of a cup) containers for $4-$5 each. This is the equivalent of paying about $50 for a pint of witch hazel. What about yourselves? Where are you buying it and how expensive is it?
The pharmacist did say that the witch hazel would clean out the skin pores, but NOT kill the bacteria. But cleaning the pores out would definately be a great start to keeping the acne under control.

I have, for ages, been using generic, alcohol-free, unscented baby wipes with witch hazel. I open the plastic container (only bought that once; now I just buy the refill packs) of baby wipes, and dump in a one-pint bottle of witch hazel. Most of the time, the number of baby wipes (usually 160) is just right to absorb all of the witch hazel. (On the rare occasion, I have had to add a splash more witch hazel as I come to the bottom of the stack of wipes.) I also have a travel pack that I use for some of the treated wipes when I'm on the go.
