What exactly is it?
Witch Hazel is a botanical extract containing high amounts of tannins -chemical compounds that possess powerful astringent properties. It essentially shrinks inflamed human tissue physically upon contact.
How it helps Teen Skin
Teens with absolutely uncontrollably oily skin adore Witch Hazel because it acts like a rapid vacuum, leaving the face completely matte and tight. However, its use is controversially debated due to its extreme drying nature.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Witch Hazel actively ruining my skin barrier?
Most cheap drugstore Witch Hazel is physically distilled using up to 15% denatured alcohol. Applying heavy alcohol to acne ruins the barrier permanently. You must explicitly find alcohol-free Witch Hazel formulas.
Will Witch Hazel actually shrink my pores forever?
No. Pore size is totally genetically predetermined. Astringents only temporarily dehydrate the tissue surrounding the pore, making the hole appear instantly smaller for a few hours.
