irritant
Contains hamamelitannin and other tannins that are astringent; commercial witch hazel distillates often contain 14% alcohol denat, compounding irritation. Can temporarily reduce oiliness but damages barrier with prolonged use.
Witch Hazel is a irritant backed by a moderate body of supporting evidence (evidence tier 2 of 4). We track 2 studies for it.
Skin Pharmacology and Physiology · 2002 · rct · n=40
In a vehicle-controlled UV erythema test in 40 volunteers, three lotions containing 10% hamamelis (witch hazel) distillate all showed an anti-inflammatory effect, with one lotion producing significantly greater erythema suppression than vehicle at 1.4 MED. Hydrocortisone preparations remained more effective than hamamelis.
Journal of Inflammation · 2011 · in vitro
In vitro study on primary human dermal fibroblasts: witch hazel, white tea, and rose extracts each significantly reduced IL-8 release (anti-inflammatory) and protected cells against hydrogen-peroxide-induced damage; however, the witch hazel distillate showed no anti-collagenase or antioxidant (Trolox) activity, unlike the leaf/bark extracts.
