Witch hazel hydrosol can be used in a variety of ways in skin care. It can be used as a toner after cleansing, as a refreshing mist throughout the day, or as a soothing compress for irritated or inflamed skin. It can also be added to DIY skin care recipes, such as face masks or serums.
Overall, witch hazel hydrosol is a versatile and beneficial ingredient for skin care. Whether you have oily or dry skin, sensitive or acne-prone skin, or just want to keep your skin healthy and hydrated, witch hazel hydrosol can be a great addition to your skin care routine.

EXTRACTION: Steam distillation
DESCRIPTION: The lavender plant is a shrub that produces small, purple, fragrant flowers. It is a hardy perennial that is grown in several different climates and countries with the largest producer being France.

Always used to perfume, to cleanse, and to heal, lavender was also added to smelling salts in Victorian times, and clutched by women in labour for strength and courage.

CanadaDifferent formula?
It seems stronger than before? Overwhelming smell.
Cocoon Apothecary
Hello Laurel, Thank you for your review and message about the Spot Dabber. There has not been any change to the formula, but there can be differences in the ingredient batches that may have varying scents. We are sorry you find the smell of the product overwhelming. Christine Cocoon Apothecary
CanadaA little dap will do ya ;)
This product is so helpful, because as a 59 year old, post-menopausal woman, I still get break outs on my chin area. I love the natural, non synthetic ingredients!
CanadaGreat spot dabber

Cocoon Apothecary
YAY! we are thrilled this product works so well for you!!
CanadaGreat product and service
I have loved this product for a number of years. Just recently I purchased online instead of from my aesthetician and the shipping took only 2 days! Love this company and will continue to purchase their products.
Cocoon Apothecary
We are so thrilled you love it!! Great product to keep those pesky breakouts at bay. Enjoy your order!
CanadaGreat for helping to diminish acne breakouts!
I have purchased this "Spot Dabber" quite a few times for my post-menopausal acne treatment. I still can't believe I have breakouts at my age, but this is a great treatment for those pesky pimples. With repeated use, this products works to diminish them. I will continue to purchase this great, natural product!
CanadaSpot Dabber for Acne
It is not working as well as it had when I'd used it in the past.
CanadaToo Soon to Tell
I bought this at the tail end of a breakout. Haven't used it a ton yet so tough to say how effective it is overall, but when I did use it, it seemed to dry out the blemish. It is really runny, drips out quickly and is very scented. If you're like me and have lots of hormonal breakouts on the chin/around the lip area, I would suggest dabbing the ball onto your finger and applying the product with your finger. I got it in my mouth the first few times I used it - totally my fault, just a suggestion for application!
CanadaWorks well and quickly.
My teen has started to develop some pimples along her hairline. Within days of starting to use this, there was noticeable improvement.
CanadaNatural Skin Solution
I have only used the spot dabbed a couple of times since I purchased it but each time it has calmed the skin around a blemish and reduced the appearance of the blemish. It feels nice on as well, no stinging or burning. Fair warning the smell is strong.
CanadaSpot Dabber for Acne
Very effective for the odd spot - doesn’t dry out your skin at all.
CanadaMy face is sighing with relief
Smells great, doesn't feel heavy on my face, quick and easy application, my maskne is improving after just a few weeks of TLC.
CanadaActually works!
Works like a charm and will last a long time; very happy with this product!
CanadaAmazing!
I suffer from acne prone skin and anytime I have a break out I’ll use the Spot Dabber and I see a difference the next day! I’ve never used anything like this before and I’ve tried multiple products! I love this product and will recommend it to anyone!
CanadaEasy-peasy way to clearer skin
Liked the product. Worked well at cleaning up my face from wearing masks all day. Easy to use, absorbs quickly. Good product
CanadaWorks great!
Both of my daughter's love to use this on their blemishes.
CanadaLove the natural properties
My teenage son uses this and loves it. I love that it is a natural and safe product for him to use.

CanadaSpot dabber
This is great to keep in my purse to dab on to keep the Maskne at bay. It dries out the spots that are breaking out without drying the rest of my skin.
