Ingredient

Witch Hazel

A toning botanical that helps refine the look of pores, balance oil, and soothe inflammation — particularly in acne-prone skin.

What it does

Helps tighten the look of pores, supports oil control, helps calm the appearance of redness, and helps tone the skin surface after cleansing.

Glow notes

Witch hazel (Hamamelis virginiana) is a plant extract containing tannins, flavonoids, and polyphenols that give it both astringent and antioxidant properties. In skincare, it is used as a gentle toning ingredient that helps temporarily tighten the look of pores and reduce excess oil on the skin's surface. It also has properties that help calm the visible look of redness and blemishes. In Meaga Glow's Balance Toner, witch hazel is paired with salicylic acid, aloe vera, and niacinamide for a balanced formula that addresses congestion without stripping moisture.
