Witch hazel is a very good product! I have mild acne that is very annoying. I use witch hazel in the night and in the morning after I scrub my face. Witch hazel uses its power to dry acne out. So I got a pack of scrub brushes that take the dry acne off. NEVER pick it off. Hope this helps.
Check out this site, they explain the uses for witch hazel. http://health.howstuffworks.com/witch-hazel-herbal-remedies.htm I am not sure about witch hazel but I know rubbing alcohol would work. The rubbing alcohol will just dry them out and get rid of them.

For the most part, when you are wanting to dilute the ink you will use small amounts of Witch Hazel to water it down. You can also use distilled water. In the event of you doing soft gray shading, you will want to use the witch hazel to dilute the black. The witch hazel will reduce the redness of the tattooing while you are doing it, and will allow you to see more clearly the black that you are building up in the skin.
To make witch hazel water, combine 1 tablespoon of witch hazel extract with 1 cup of distilled water. This ratio creates a diluted solution suitable for use as a natural astringent or skin toner. Adjust the ratio based on your needs, keeping the concentration of witch hazel extract between 5-10% for skincare purposes.
Witch Hazel, when in its natural form, is very good for the skin. Its good to use it as a toner after using your normal facial wash, to keep the skin soft and blemish free. It isn't an acne treatment, it just helps prevent. Its also good to sooth other types of skin issues.
