What I am calling the 'stone' is a little block only slightly harder than a chapstick. You then take the stick and ...

WITCH
Witch comes in different forms, from wipes, face wash, facemask, gel, moisturiser and toners. Witch's main ingredient is Witch Hazel, found in damp woodland areas in Northern America and used by the American Indians as a medicinal plant. The Witch Hazel Plant is known for its astringent and anti-inflammatory properties which both help with skin care in reducing the redness of spots and soothing irritated skin. All witch products ... ...with the name Witch emblazoned on the front with green leaves stemming from the T in witch. The wipes are in a see through packaging, which I like as I can see the wipes and get a good idea off the texture and how it will feel on the skin. The last thing Jess needed was a rough wipe, wiped over her skin. I needed something that would clean her skin as she wasn't keen on cleansers so opted for the wipes then went for the Witch Stick to cover afterwards.

==witch Stick==
witch is a company that sell beauty products such as face washes and spot sticks. Their products are sold in supermarkets, chemists, stores like Boots etc.
This little spot stick comes packaged in a blue box with white writing and shades of pink and green. The box I have is slightly different to the one in the picture, I think mine must be the newer version, but I think they are both still the same product.
===Why did I buy the ... ...do?===
On the box, the witch stick claims to "The ultimate in blemish control, Witch stick helps to break down excess oils and fights the bacteria that cause spots". It apparently targets the spot and helps dry imperfections.
The stick contains witch hazel which I have used many times when I have had a bruise, I always find it works really well! Even though it doesn't smell very nice, I think witch hazel is great!

...attempt it nonetheless. Witch Stick is a tiny sky blue plastic stick about the size of a tube of Lypsyl and thick as your average thumb. It’s main purpose – to prevent and get rid of nasty spots, zits, blackheads… you name it.

So the ... ...is. When I bought the Witch Stick I did so on the assumption that it contained tea tree oil or the likes since many spot treatments are based upon it. Alas there is no mention whatsoever on the packaging to suggest even the smallest inclusion of tea tree. For those interested to know… it’s made up of alcohol denat, aqua, sodium stearate, glycarin, propylene glycol, hamamelis virginiana extract (the scientific name for Witch Hazel), cetyl alcohol, ...

...spots. Plus I have a Witch face wash which seems to work okay so I decided to give this a go.
In terms of size and appearence I can't really fault this product. It is about 4 cms tall and about the same diameter as a 2p coin. It is the same colour as all the Witch products - a light bluey - greeny colour. Written on the product are the following claims :
* Helps to combatt the conditions that cause spots, blemishes and other minor skin irritations

Pretty good I thought! To be honest the packaging is pretty plain but I dont really mind this as I personally didnt want something really loud that stood out! Its size means it will fit into pockets/handbags etc. Handy!
To open the product, you unscrew the lid and are met with a pretty blue stick that can be pushed up from the bottom, very similar to a pushpop! To apply this product, you simply wipe it across the affected areas. ...

Advantages: inexpensive, compact, effective Disadvantages: slight antiseptic smell with it
...pleased with the results.
Witch Stick is designed to dry up oily patches and shrink enlarged pores to prevent spots occurring in the first place. This idea being you use as soon as you notice an oily patch and this then dries it up so you are less likely to develop a spot. Seems to work pretty well too as i am convinced my skin is less oily than before.
Witch Stick comes in a small case, about lipstick sized so could easily be carried with you. ... ...- but it is a witch hazel product after all. The smell itself quickly disappears after application and would cretainly not be noticeable to anyone else so its not a real drawback.
Witch Stick is widely availaible in most chemists and some supermarkets and at £3.09 is a bit of a bragain compared to some spot treatments.
Also availiable in the Witch range are:
Witch Daily Cleansing lotion at £3.59
and
Witch clear pore gel at £3.59

...my trusty 'Witch Stick'.
Witch Stick comes in a handy pocket sized tube which works like a push-pop. You insert your finger into one end to push the block of witch hazel out of the applicator so that you can apply it directly to your spots or other skin irritations. It contains an anti-bacterial agent which dries up oily areas and shrinks your pores.
In my experience this means that what in the morning was an unsightly red weeping sore can be transformed ... ...available from most chemists.
Witch Stick is great for occasional spots but if you use it too often your skin seems to become immune. If you are suffereing from acne or serious break-outs I'd advise you to get something stronger than Witch stick from your doctor.

They come in a small plastic tube which will fit nicely into your hand bag so you can take it any where with you and only costs about £1.99 a tube. It will last you for ages at least 200 applications and are usually in date for about 3 years so dont worry about it going off.

Witch hazel which is what this is made of has many uses, as another review has stated it is supposed to be good for clearing up spots, this doesnt always seem the case at first use as it drys the effected skin up and kills any infection obviously bringing it to the surface of the skin so they do look worse before they look better but it is worth it in the end.

Advantages: relatively cheap, prevents future break outs Disadvantages: i don't like the smell, can be drying
1 year ago, the Witch stick was an indisposal item in my toiletries compartment. I always had breakouts especially when it was nearer my period. Someone introduced the Witch stick to me and since it wasn't too expensive (approx £3.50), I decided to try it out.
I must say, I am impressed with it. After using it for about a year, I stopped having frequent breakouts. Even the predictable menstrual related breakouts have become unpredictable.

This is partly due to reasons of personal hygiene but also because in the day, I prefer a treatment that can protect the blemish from the sun as well. Lastly the witch stick drys the skin considerably and with make up on the face, you can see the white outlines of the peeling skin which does not look too desirable.
On the whole, I would recommend this product to anyone who has ...

...I used to see the Witch Doctor adverts on the tube all the time and I always wondered if it actually worked. I'd like to think that herbs such as witch-hazel can be effective and it seems the bods at Witch Doctor have mixed science with nature perfectly!
