Does anyone know what you use it for and how? I have a bottle in the medicine cabinet and have no idea why.

Well, I think it's good for bruises (?), but most women use it as a facial toner.

can be used as a toner after cleansing and for drying up spots. Think it may also help to reduce bruising.

Do you just use it neat? It seems a bit harsh? I think that is why i bought it - someone said would be good for toddler bruises.

You use it neat, as far as I know.

I would use it neat on unbroken skin.

Cod claims that Clarins Beauty Flash Balm is witch hazel, but don't know what her sources are.

Oooh I like Beauty Flash Balm - would certainly be cheaper, maybe I'll try some on my face tommorow morning - I hope this isn't a windup and I won't be scarred for life - I've already but purple nailpolish remover on my face this week instead of Clinique purple toner - the bottles are way too similar!
