Facial Toner, Witch Hazel with Aloe Vera, Rose Petal, 12 Fl Oz

This is a really nice, gentle toner that works well for my sensitive skin. I’m pretty cautious with toners because a lot of them can sting or feel overly harsh, but this one is very mild and comfortable to use. I’ve never experienced any burning or irritation from it. The formula is alcohol-free, which makes a big difference for me since alcohol-based toners tend to dry out my skin. Instead, this one feels lightly hydrating and refreshing when applied after cleansing. The scent is also very pleasant. It has a soft rose fragrance that smells light and fresh rather than overwhelming. If you like floral skincare products, this one strikes a nice balance without feeling too perfumed. In my routine, I use this after cleansing and before serums and moisturizer. It helps prep the skin so the rest of my skincare layers absorb nicely. I also feel like it gives my skin a slightly brighter and more refreshed look after using it consistently. Overall, this is a great everyday toner for sensitive skin. It’s gentle, hydrating, alcohol-free, and works well as part of a layered skincare routine.

I never write reviews about skin care products because no matter how many different ones I try (high end or affordable), I don't notice anything great worth mentioning. This toner though, I think has just simplified my routine by so much. For reference, I have acne-prone, combination skin (oily forehead and t-zone, normal to dry on rest) and have adult acne especially around that time of the month. Aside from cleansing, I've only been using this toner and one moisturizer (I switch those up depending on how my skin feels) every morning and night. On rare occasions my skin feels hydrated enough, I really only put this toner on and that's it. What I like about using this is that it doesn't do anything extraordinary nor does it cause any problems. It keeps my face looking NORMAL and controlled. Which is really all I need, and my skin just feels good. My breakouts have been very minimal aside from the ones in the chin area due to hormones every month. I have noticed my face overall looks significantly brighter and clearer- I think I recognized this difference about a couple of weeks in first trying it. I used to have a lot of redness which felt like they were permanently there and won't go away. Now it's only a bit red around the nose and chin area. For application, I don't use cotton pads; I think it's a bit unnecessary as it soaks up a lot of product. I put a tiny puddle in my palm (always with clean hands) and slap it on. The consistency is like water but I never have the problem of it running down my arm. On drier days, I put on 2-3 layers of this (pat in, let absorb, put some more on), after that my skin feels super hydrated. The smell isn't anything to praise about, but it's nothing that will keep me away from using it either. This isn't a perfume, and as a skin care product, I would be worried if it did smell like one. If you've smelled real flowers, they smell good, but there's sometimes that slight underlying scent that might be not as pleasant. To me, that's what this toner smells like. It does smell of roses, but it has that touch of realness (how do you even describe this). I don't find it terrible at all. At the price, it's really worth giving it a go if you're looking for a good, basic toner to start your skin care routine. Going in I knew nothing about this toner other than the amount of reviews it has on Amazon and one youtube video of someone praising it, and I'm VERY glad I tried it. One bottle kept me good for 5 months (I already have my backup bottle ready). I bought my first bottle of the rose petal at the beginning of May this year, and I'm now about to finish up the last few drops. As long as my skin doesn't suddenly decide to react differently to it, I think I'm going to be keeping this toner as a staple for a long, long time. Update (a couple of years later..): Just wanted to add I still love this toner. And contrary to my old review above, using the toner with a cotton pad has been a game changer. Using it by itself was great as well, but I tried using it with a cotton pad to gently wipe the face and within a couple of weeks, the texture of the skin got better on another level.

When I first started using this product, it was extremely effective at managing my breakouts. It made a difference that even my family had noticed. Notably, my problem area (my chin, mouth) gets swarmed with painful cystic acne at least once a month, around my cycle. Last year I also went through finals and some bad family drama around the holidays, but this toner kept my skin fresh. Unfortunately with my most recent cycle I've had a resurgence of stubborn cystic acne, but this toner still deserves these 5 stars because it is an excellent moisturizer and a wonderful product. Besides, it's not actually marketed as an acne product! That is just a nice bonus for some of us. It has definitely had a very soothing effect on my skin and has helped to manage some of the crustiness and peeling that can come with bad acne. The bonus is that this product seems very natural. I haven't inspected the ingredient list or anything, but I don't think it contains any of the drying acids or harsh chemicals that are usually found in other skin products. Especially ones for acne. It's alcohol-free!!! So it smells great, doesn't burn the nose or eyes with harsh fumes, and I feel fine to use it several times a day without drying out my face. It does quite the opposite, in fact, by revitalizing the skin. It dries quickly and leaves a light, clean feeling on the skin, not to mention a pleasant rose fragrance that doesn't linger too long. My face is a lot softer and overall healthier than it has ever been. This product has replaced my regular moisturizer that goes on before applying makeup. I just pour some toner on a cotton square and wipe it over my skin after washing my face (with a makeup wipe or Neogen cleansing stick). The skin flakes I used to see after putting on foundation are no longer an issue. I rarely need to exfoliate. I will use this toner in the morning, before bed, and sometimes in the middle of the day when my skin feels oily or needs a pick-me-up. This toner is one of the most gratifying skincare products I've ever used! Highly recommend for yourself or as a gift for someone who struggles with dry skin. This is a must-have product for anyone who loves skincare products.

I've been using this toner for quite sometime already but it is the 1st time I have ordered it thru amazon. I have only good things to say about this toner. This toner has natural ingredients and it works very very well with my acne prone skin. The price is affordable and it does the job. My skin feels refreshed after each use. I highly recommend this toner and also the seller because the product arrived on time and it was well packed.

the best best thing I've ever had in my life. I used this for the first time and my acne mostly went away the next day. Im not even lying my small bumps on y forehead was gone and now I almost have clear skin.

Stumble upon this toner when I was looking for a alcohol-free toner, was pleasantly surprised by how gentle it feels and its lovely scent.

Effective for cleaning my face. Recommended.

Super impressed and I swear by all Thayer’s products esp. Witch Hazel. It’s the real deal, genuine witch hazel extract and this bottle goes a looong way! Every beauty/skin-conscious aficionado MUST have this. Try it you’ll not be an ounce regretful. Will be back for more & thanks amazon for making it easily available in India. It was a toil for me to source this from the US (I refuse to use anything else) and international shipping (USPS) is a nightmare. Delivery was quick and seller prompt. A+++
