DescriptionFlower Power. Make your skin bloom with THAYERS® Rose Petal Facial Toner. This gentle toner is derived from a time-honored formula, developed by Thayers to cleanse, tone, moisturize, and balance the pH level of skin. In addition to containing pore-cleansing Rose Water and certified organic Aloe Vera, this unique, proprietary blend also contains certified organic, non-distilled Witch Hazel that’s grown exclusively for Thayers on a family farm in Fairfield County, Connecticut. By avoiding distillation of our Witch Hazel, we’re able to preserve the naturally-occurring, beneficial tannins, which are known to offer antioxidant and antibacterial benefits, and bring about a natural glow. Thayers elixirs have been a fixture in medicine cabinets for generations – once you use them, you’ll know why. The Thayers Witch Hazel Facial Toner is a triple threat that cleanses, tones and moisturizes skin all at once with the help of rose water, witch hazel extract and aloe vera. It features an alcohol-free formula that is gentler on skin than other similar products. With regular use, the bestseller can tighten pores, help control oil production and moisturize skin. As an added bonus, the formula is free of parabens and propylene glycol and has a refreshing yet subtle rose fragrance. Dr. Joshua Zeichner, director of cosmetic and clinical research at The Mount Sinai Hospital, told Shop TODAY that many of his patients swear by this bestselling toner from Thayers and said its main ingredient — witch hazel — has many benefits. "Witch hazel is a botanical ingredient used in skin care for its astringent effects on the skin," he said. "It can effectively remove oil from the skin to improve shine and minimize the appearance of pores, and may help soothe inflammation." Many toners contain alcohol, an ingredient that can dry out skin and irritate sensitive complexions, but Boston-based dermatologist Dr. Ranella Hirsch appreciates the fact that the Thayers toner is alcohol-free. "For those people looking to try witch hazel, this one is a good choice because it does not have alcohol," she said. "It also has hydrating aloe vera." Board-certified dermatologist and founder of Avant Dermatology and Aesthetics Dr. Sheila Farhang was pleased to see that the popular toner also includes rose water. "It's soothing, is an anti-inflammatory and can maintain the skin pH balance," she said. Wondering if a toner is right for you? Dermatologists traditionally recommend toners as a follow-up step after cleansing for people with oily skin or anyone hoping to balance their skin's pH levels. "If any residue from the cleanser remains, or if the cleanser didn’t remove all that it was supposed to remove, the toner can better assist in clearing the skin for skin care products," said Dr. Robert Anolik, a fellow of the American Academy of Dermatology. "It can be well suited for those who wear makeup routinely or use several skin care products as the toner pass allows for a cleaner skin canvas for the next steps."  Over 9,000 verified Amazon shoppers have left a review of this bestselling toner, and they're definitely impressed with its versatility. "I have enlarged pores, adult acne, dry cheeks, oily T-zone, and uneven skin. My skin is also extremely sensitive to any products. I have been using this product daily (...) and it has alleviated or improved all my skin problems," one happy customer wrote. Thayers has been around since the 1800s, and many customers say they've been using the brand's popular toner for years. "I am 49 and have normal, hormonal skin. This doesn't dry my skin at all ... I use at night before night cream and in the morning before makeup and day cream," one verified shopper wrote. Many customers said the toner has helped with their acne when used in conjunction with the rest of their skin care routine. "I have had acne since I was 13 years old (I’m 26 now) and have struggled to find a product that actually helped my skin. I have tried many prescriptions and many different face washes. This is the only product I have ever used that has actually made a difference for my skin," one reviewer wrote. A few guys even gave the product their seal of approval, including one who uses the product after shaving with a double-edge razor. "After a shave, most men need something that cleanses and leaves a good feeling," he shared. "I had heard that Thayers did not contain alcohol and was easier on the skin. Gave it a try. It really does work better. My skin doesn’t dry from the toner, and I use an aftershave splash or lotion now more for the scent than the need to add any softening or moisturizing."

Having been a faithful user of Thayers Alcohol-Free, Hydrating Rose Petal Witch Hazel Facial Toner with Aloe Vera Formula for 5-6 years, I can confidently attest to its significant benefits on my skin. Is alcohol"It is especially important for those with dry or sensitive skin to use an alcohol-free witch hazel product to minimize the potential for dryness or irritation," says Garshick. Vasile agrees and recommends to use it with caution since it can be drying over time and lead to sensitivity if over-used. Is it okay to use Thayers toner everyday?Yes, we do recommend using it twice a day. The reason for this is that most of our top rated Witch Hazel Toner products include extra moisturizing elements, like certified organic aloe. Is Thayers original facial toner any good?I decided to give Thayers toner a try after running out of my own. After the first use, my skin felt refreshed and cleansed. I love the soft cucumber scent and that it doesn't leave any residue on your face. This is definitely a toner I will be using over and over again! |
