Witch Hazel (Hamamelis virginiana) is a plant. The leaf, bark, and twigs are used to make medicine.

Witch Hazel may possible benefit noninflammatory acne (blackheads and whiteheads) too. The idea behind Witch Hazel for acne treatment is that it can act as an astringent by drying out your acne blemishes (contains tannins).

Skin Care Use: Long used in traditional medicine, Witch Hazel is usually applied topically in order to treat certain skin conditions, such as itching, pain and swelling (inflammation), eye inflammation, skin injury, mucous membrane inflammation, varicose veins, bruises, insect bites, minor burns, acne, sensitive scalp, and other skin irritations.
