    Alcohol-free Thayer's is my go-to. Plain, lavender, or rose (my favourite).

    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 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.

    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!!!!
