Thayers Rose Petal Witch Hazel Toner Review

Hello friends! Yes! I tried the popular Thayers Rose Petal Witch Hazel toner, which is highly rated and also the best selling toner on Amazon. :-). Everyone knows, using a toner is one of the important steps in our skincare regimen. Any skincare posts or dermatologist suggestions include, cleanse, tone and moisturize. Except, how well and deep toners, help to clean the skin and pores, they tend to be drying. Earlier, toners were always loaded with high amount of alcohol. And a few brands still have alcohol in them. (Studies have shown that alcohol in skincare products can cause dryness and irritation). However, there are some brands that have mastered the alcohol free formula and Thayers is one of those brands. I was pleasantly surprised to know that this brand is since 1847. That is almost 170 years of experience. 😀

The alcohol free Thayers Rose Petal Witch Hazel toner is a blend of Witch Hazel , Aloe Vera, Vitamic C and Rose Water along with some other natural and organic ingredients. It helps in deep cleansing the pores, keeping skin matte for longer time, while also helps in getting rid of acne, redness, inflammation and greasiness of the skin. Thayers Rose Petal Witch Hazel Toner is free of harsh chemicals like parabens, propylene, glycol etc. It is a very gentle formula.

Product Description – Flower 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 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. Alcohol-Free Paraben-Free Phthalate-Free Gluten-Free

The packaging of Thayers Rose Petal Witch Hazel Toner is simple, practical and old fashioned. It is a translucent BPA free bottle with a red flip open cap. This bottle looks like it is very mature and has a lot of experience. It also gives the appearance of natural and organic product packaging.

Thayers Rose Petal Witch Hazel toner is a composition of natural and organic ingredients like witch hazel, rose water, aloe vera and Vitamin C.

Witch Hazel – Witch Hazel is a flowering plant with medicinal benefits. The anti-bacterial properties of Witch Hazel helps in reducing inflammation and fights acne effectively. It is a natural astringent that removes excess oil and shrinks the pores. It also helps to calm irritated skin conditions like redness and inflammations. The anti-microbial properties helps in stopping the growth of acne causing bacteria.

Rose Petals – The natural oils and sugars present in the rose petals helps to soothe sensitive skin. It helps to restore the skin and make it soft and smooth. The natural astringent in petals helps to tighten the pores and nourish dull and dry skin.

Vitamin C – You all know how popular and favorite Vitamin C is these days. It is full of antioxidants and protects the skin from sun damage. It helps in collagen production and strengthens the skin cells, while improving the elasticity of the skin. Vitamin C is well known to naturally brighten the skin. It reduces discoloration, uneven skin tone and lightens the acne and dark spots.

Aloe Vera – Another nature’s gift to mankind, the star ingredient with all the skincare benefits. With naturally soothing, healing and anti-inflammatory properties, Aloe Vera helps in healing and repairing the skin. It also helps in preventing acne. It contains Vitamin C, E and beta carotene that help to improve the elasticity and firmness of the skin. Aloe Vera also deeply hydrates the skin without clogging the pores.

The organic blend of natural ingredients in Thayers Rose Petal Witch Hazel Toner, is truly amazing. I started using this toner when I got a few acne spots in my chin area. It was painful to touch with a little redness, that was very irritating. I keep thinking until what age I will have to suffer these pesky little bumps.

I have noticed if I am careless about using my clay masks, I start getting these acne. My skincare routine is very simple. But using clay masks and hydrating masks like the Origins Drink Up mask and the Laneige Water Sleeping masks are important for me. Since I had the Thayers Rose Petal Witch Hazel Toner, I put some on cotton ball and applied to my face. That very moment, it felt utterly blissful. It was very-very soothing and calming. The pain and redness subsided significantly and I fell in love with it at the first application. Oh! And the rose scent is just lovely. I believe the scent also helped to calm my senses and the irritation I felt with these acne. The rose scent also reminds me of the Origins Rose Clay mask that is one of my favorites.

I started using the toner twice a day. In the morning and at night after cleansing and before moisturizing. There is nothing fancy about how I use it. But I after cleansing and drying my face, I take some Thayers Rose Petal Witch Hazel toner on a cotton pad and dab it on my skin. I wait for it to absorb and dry before using my night cream or sleeping mask.

In almost, two weeks of regular use, I saw the difference. The redness, inflammation of the acne has almost gone, and my skin slowly became normal again. Of course, I use a bunch of other products that help me a lot to control my acne problem. But, every time I use this toner, it always feels soothing and refreshing. Since then I have never stopped using it. It has also helped to improve the quality of my skin. The texture is smooth, radiant and oil free. Because this toner is alcohol free, it does not dry my skin.

I love that the Thayers Rose Petal Witch Hazel toner cleans all the dirt and grime that the cleanser may have missed. Unlike, other toners, that I have tried in the past, this one is not at all drying. I always used to stop using the toners because they used to make my skin dry and give that tight feeling, all because of the alcohol present in them. But, Thayers toner is so gentle and very effective. Aloe Vera and rose petals in this toner keep the skin hydrated and restore radiance. The results are absolutely amazing with this toner.

Overall, I am so so SO glad I tried the Thayers Rose Petal Witch Hazel Toner. It has become an important part of my skincare along with the Pixi Glow Tonic. And I will continue to use it. I love how affordable and effective it is. We get a lot of product for the price of under $10. I highly-highly recommend trying this out. It is perfect for all skin types and the rose scent is mild, refreshing and very pleasing. However, if you have issues with the scent, there is an unscented version available as well. I am sure many of you must have already tried this toner. But, if you have not, I request you to give is a shot. 🙂 especially if you have oily skin like mine. It’s been around since 1847, can you believe?

Until, next time up your skincare game and stay healthy, bright and beautiful! 🙂
