About Witch Hazel for Skin

Discover Witch Hazel and What It Does for Your Skin

Derived from the bark and leaves of Hamamelis virginiana, witch hazel is a botanical extract rich in tannins and flavonoids that deliver astringent, antioxidant and soothing benefits. Studies show it can reduce inflammation markers and support barrier health, making it ideal for oily, combination or redness prone skin.

Find Your Perfect Witch Hazel Routine

Choose a formula that suits your skin type. For oily or breakout prone skin, a lightweight toner with witch hazel is ideal. For combination skin, a mist or serum may offer the right balance. If your skin is sensitive, seek alcohol free versions blended with calming actives. Apply after cleansing, before moisturiser, and follow with SPF each morning.

Personalised Advice on Using Witch Hazel Safely

If your skin is sensitive, compromised or very dry, opt for milder witch hazel formulations and perform a patch test first. If you are using stronger actives such as acids or retinol, alternate their use with witch hazel or apply at different times of day.

Expert Tip for Witch Hazel

"Witch hazel is a real game-changer when it comes to keeping your skin fresh and balanced.

If you struggle with oily skin or breakouts, adding witch hazel to your routine is an easy way to keep things clear, calm, and ready for your favourite serums and moisturisers."
