Witch Hazel vs Micellar Water – Which is Better for Your Skin?
Introduction
Witch Hazel and Micellar Water are often compared as toning or cleansing solutions. While both are water-based, they serve very different purposes.
Witch Hazel
- Plant extract with antioxidants
- Helps control oil
- Can be irritating if alcohol-based
Micellar Water
- Gentle cleansing solution with micelles
- Removes dirt and makeup
- Good for sensitive skin but may not cleanse deeply
Which to Choose?
Use Micellar Water as a first-step cleanser. Witch Hazel can be used as a toner for oily or acne-prone skin, ideally alcohol-free.
