Overview

Dickinson's Original Witch Hazel Brightening Toner + Serum pairs distilled witch hazel with lactic acid and vitamin C in a 4 fluid ounce alcohol-free liquid, scented with grapefruit and marked for all, normal, oily and sensitive skin.

Dickinson's built its name on plain witch hazel astringent, and this version adds a lactic acid exfoliant and vitamin C on top of that base, positioning it as a toner and serum step in one bottle rather than a simple astringent. The free-from list is long: no alcohol, dye, paraben, phthalate or sulfate, alongside gluten free, natural, organic and plant based ingredient claims.

  • Witch hazel with lactic acid and vitamin C
  • Alcohol free formula
  • Gluten free, organic, plant based
  • Aimed at toning, exfoliation and pore refinement

Who it's for

People who want a toning step that also exfoliates lightly and evens skin tone, without alcohol in the formula. It suits normal, oily and sensitive skin according to the listing, but the added grapefruit scent means it is not for anyone avoiding fragranced skincare.
