Just to be very clear, this product is a clear liquid, and has no other additives. The Boots own brand is sold in a clear bottle with their standard labelling. Some other places also offer an own brand (Sainsbury's, for example) which theoretically should be comparable.
Witch Hazel is an astringent, and a key part of my skincare routine. I'd even go so far as to say its THE key part of my facial skincare routine, as I occasionally skip moisturiser but never the witch hazel. Although it shouldn't contain alcohol, it still dries skin out, and as such most people would want to use it alongside a moisturiser (I generally do anyway.)
It can further be used for a small selection of first aid purposes, and like any commercially available astringent it removes make-up. It lasts for a long time, is not sensitive to sunlight insofar as I know, but the way I use it makes it prone to collecting skin from my hand in the bottle. Pouring tends to waste it, though, so decanting it into smaller bottles is likely the way forward.
I particularly recommend it as a form of aftershave for men, and probably less recommend it for drier skinned women. On the other hand, I'm no pro. My skin is roughly speaking "normal" and has had few spots or blemishes even when I was a teenager. On the other hand, I've been religious about daily simple attention to it, and not overdoing it. Since I was twelve. Your results may vary!
