    I first heard about witch hazel from my mom who has sworn by this ingredient as a natural remedy for years. Thayers Natural Remedies has been around since 1847 and there’s a reason it’s been successful for over 170 years. There’s a cultural shift happening towards more natural and organic, well, everything, and many travelers are looking for cleaner products that come in travel-size. Enter witch hazel, the multi-use ingredient for anything from breakouts to redness.

    • Usefulness: 10/10. I love that these products are natural and easy-to-travel with. Plus they come from a trusted brand. The blemish stick is useful for spot treatments on-the-fly and the towelettes are handy to use if you need a quick refresh while walking around a new city or as a part of your nighttime routine.
    • Value: 10/10. Many organic and natural products are more expensive, but Thayers products are affordable, starting at $4 for the travel-sized toner. You can’t beat that.
    • Portability: 10/10. The toner comes in a three-ounce bottle and the towelettes come in a thin, packable container. The blemish stick is also compact and can easily fit into your plastic quart-sized baggie for easy carry on.
