🔬 How It Actually Works
A water distillation of the witch hazel plant. It contains tannins that physically constrict the skin tissue, reducing oiliness and inflammation temporarily.
💖 Why your skin loves it
Degreases the skin, tightens pores temporarily, and soothes bug bites.
💡 Pro Tip
Avoid traditional drugstore Witch Hazel, as it is usually distilled with 14% denatured alcohol, which destroys the skin barrier.
⚖️ Myth vs. Fact
The Myth
It shrinks your pores forever.
The Science
Pores do not have muscles. The tannins simply cause temporary tissue swelling, making the pore look smaller.
