# Witch hazel

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/ingredients/witch-hazel

The Lovi Fit is the same in every country; only the stores and prices differ, and the ones here are for the Netherlands.

Witch hazel visibly soothes irritation, calms redness, locks in essential moisture, and supports firmer, smoother skin by encouraging cellular renewal and helping to restore healthy elasticity. It suits dry skin and oily skin particularly well, and is widely available in toners, creams, cleansers, and masks. Because it layers easily, it integrates smoothly into any daily skincare routine.
