they sell witch hazel sampler packs on the thayers website incase you would like to give some of the many varieties a try... just picked up some for myself, and the losenge sample pack for when I go out singing karaoke ;)
I got some 'Herb Valley' Witch Hazel lotion from the health food shop. It smells disgusting and contains ethanol. Not sure if they all do. I think maybe I should have got something nicer...
I always use Thayers WH mainly unscented , or if I was a bit rough superhazel , awesome stuff , and the unscented has absolutely no smell, it's great !
I believe GNC has Thayer's. They offer have BOGO on it.
Now the question is...WH with alcohol or alcohol-free?? What are your preferences, and why??
I use Thayers; alcohol-free with Aloe. I've never liked using alcohol-based products on my face; too much irritation. There is a significant botanical difference between Thayers and the garbage that's sold in discount stores. Thayers doesn't distill the extract Hamamelis Virginiana that their witch hazel is made from. So the astringent properties are not affected.
So far i have tried the unscented alcohol free with aloe and the original which is also alcohol free and I much prefer the original. it has a nice smell to it.
Witch hazel is an acquired smell. Most either love it or hate it. The Dickinson's is pretty good stuff for regular product before going with the super premium Thayers. The stuff in stores under their brands are just water down product, pretty worthless.
Dickinson got a little alcohol, thayers is a little more like 20 percent i like alcohol that little stinging feeling reminds me when a was a young kid and the barber shave the back of my neck with a straight then he rub some alcohol on there. Witch havel is really a good natural products so many uses,my teenager started getting a little acne and started putting it on his faces and after a week or so notice a big difference and even more after!! I just love the stuff and the smell as well!!!!
