Witch Hazel
Witch hazel is gotten from the bark of the North American witch-hazel shrub. It’s also derived from the leaves, and they have strong antibacterial and anti-inflammatory [3] properties. Its properties can be used in treating a wide range of skin conditions, which include dandruff, eczema, and acne.
Research shows that witch hazel may help fight bacteria and reduce skin irritation and inflammation that can largely contribute to acne [4].
There are other health benefits of witch hazel in humans, including the treatment of hemorrhoids, protection against skin damage, and alleviating scalp sensitivity. It can protect against skin damage due to the presence of tannins, which are natural plant compounds with anti-antioxidant properties that help protect the skin from damage.
