As someone who's always on the lookout for affordable and effective skincare solutions, I was really excited to give Thayers Cucumber Alcohol-Free Toner a try. In this review, I'll share my thoughts on the product's performance, effectiveness, and overall value.
Pros:
Alcohol-free formula is gentle and doesn't dry out skin Contains witch hazel, which is a natural astringent that helps to tighten pores and control oil Infused with cucumber extract, which soothes and refreshes skin Can be used on all skin types, including sensitive skin Leaves skin feeling clean and refreshed without any sticky residue Convenient spray bottle makes application easy and mess-free Affordable price point compared to other high-end toners
Cons: Some users may prefer a toner with a stronger scent or more intense tingling sensation
All up - well worth the money, and it does what it says! WINNING!
The bottle is quite striking but I'm a bit of a sucker for things that look they've been around for years! It's kind of reassuring that they are good - and this is.
It's got a typical toner consistency - like water! But the flip top lid with a small opening means ots goes only where you direct it not everywhere!
Pop some on a (reasuable) cotton pad and wipe - easy as that but so different from any other toner I've tried. I was a little worried by the witch hazel element (strong smell, skin feeling on fire and tight) but there was no of that. It left my skin clean and feeling moisturised.
The smell is lovely - just pure cucumber and not the chemically version.
I've been using this twice a day for nearly two weeks and haven't used very much at all so for $16-$17 it seems like it will be very good value.
I always have red patches, I go red at the drop of a hat but it really seems to have helped with that. I had a family bereavement during the trail and had a very red puffy face and eyes and it dramatically helped reduce that - even in my eyes! And yes, probably not designed to be used on eyes, but there was no stinging or soreness!
I would absolutely recommend this. I'll be hunting it (and the other versions) down to buy!
