User Reviews for witch hazel

Mosquitos love me & I can't help but to enjoy the outdoors. Luckily witch hazel is fast acting & greatly reduces the itchiness of the bites. They still swell but I don't itch the bites after a minuet of applying some witch hazel. You can just west a cotton ball with it & then dab or rub the skin on & around the bite. I've used it on minor cuts & scrapes to reduce irritation & pain which works well too

Excellent cleanser after a bowel movement

Should have used it a long time ago...made a huge difference.

I have seboric dermatitis so my facial skin grows faster than usual. This causes dryness, inflammation, and itchiness. Soaps and face washes cause the dryness to be significantly worse while WH allows me to wash my face while keeping the moisture and inflammation minimal. It is not a cure but it is the best and it way I can wash my face. Plus itâ??s super easy and faster than a typical face wash. Smells horrible but I promise overtime the smell becomes unnoticeable.

It will burn like crazy,but the pain will be reduced by 80% or more within about 30 second. Like the old Johhny Cash song."A ring of Fire" well witch hazel will cool that ring of fore down real quick like.I use witch hazel for direct treatment of roids and Butchers broom and rutin supplement to keep them away.I maybe get them for a week or 2 of the year where i used to get roid flare ups every week. Had to quit drinking coffee as well though which sucked.

My son went to visit Montana for a week and came back with huge mosquito bites. He was very itchy and uncomfortable. Two treatments, 5 hours apart, of swabbing with cotton balls soaked in witch hazel relieved his itch.

Prep H didn't really work, though I used it for months. Finally, at recommendation of my primary care provider, I tried witch hazel (not a spray as suggested but moisturised pads) and Had complete comfort from Day 1. Now into second month and pain/itching is a thing of the past.

I have had dyshidrotic eczema on my hands for years. Doctors tried steroid creams, Rx's, moisturizers, etc. My hands are swollen and red with blisters

I had major surgery and had explained my extreme reactions to adhesives. Although the hospital staff was good, my caregiver realized I was having a very bad reaction to the little adhesives used through the surgery. Thank goodness my caregiver knew the benefits of Witch Hazel firsthand and was able to control and help the problem. The caregiver put WH on me twice a day for three days. I thank goodness for the relief Witch Hazel gave me!

Used for blood blisters on my arm and it really seemed to speed up the healing process!

I take Witch Hazel for Hot flashes it help cool me down and stop the fever from entering my body

An old school home remedy for many things. I've used it for: Stops insect bite itching. Gargle for sore throat. Relieve canker sore pain, and gum pain after potato chip got jammed in. Clean cuts. Cuts heal faster like when using Neosporin on a scar. Comb my hair, makes hair lie down much better than water. Use as aftershave. I don't ever drink it. I know I've used it for other things over the years, but can't recall everything. I'm kind of surprised this site only lists it for use on hemorrhoids. Probably the one think I haven't tried witch hazel for. Read More Read Less

I used witch hazel to clean my dogs oily ears and applies it to her hot spots. Day 1 so far so good. They remained pink and fresh smelling and the red open rashed hot spots also reacted well to the treatment.

We found that my boyfriend has dyshidrotic eczema on his hands (very painful, blistering rash) and within a few minutes of using witch hazel, the itching went away, along with some of the pain. I would highly recommend this for any kind of eczema (I used it when i was 12 to get rid of a small rash on my arms)

It has really worked for me.

I use this product for a recent eye infection, also in the past, I used it for pinkeye. It burned for few seconds, afterwards I continued. Product for a few more days, after each use burns a few seconds. Then problem gone.??

I have tried it for my hemorrhoids a few yrs back, and it did okay. I recently bought witch hazel face and body and used it on my face starting out. You see...I have HORRIBLE psoriasis on my face...my skin gets really really dry and feels like my face is going to break into a million pieces and it burns. I have tried cream for it and everything. Witch Hazel has been the only thing to date to fix my dry skin and it leaves my skin baby soft and smooth. I love it and I will never use anything else now. Read More Read Less
