Thayers Cucumber Alcohol-Free Toner with Witch Hazel Aloe Vera

I've been using this toner every morning and night since I received it for review and it has been very refreshing and soothing on my skin. My skin is very sensitive (eczema) and it has not had any adverse reactions so far. I've found that my skin feels more moisturised which will be great in winter. The aloe vera in this toner will also be very handy in summer for the inevitable sunburn! The scent is like cucumber and smells quite natural which is a nice change from artificial fragrances. The bottle is quite large and seems like it will last for a long time. The instructions say to apply with a cotton pad but I found it works just as well by squirting toner into your hands and applying to the face - less waste that way. Overall would definitely recommend to anyone, I love it and will definitely be buying another bottle when this one (eventually!) runs out

I was very excited to try Thayers Cucumber Alcohol-Free Toner as anything that can make my skin more moisturized and healthy has got to be a great thing! After trying it out myself, I have to say that I am overall quite impressed with this toner.

One of the standout features of this product is its natural formulation. It contains witch hazel, aloe vera, and cucumber extract, which are all known for their soothing and hydrating properties. I found that this toner did a great job of removing any leftover dirt or impurities on my skin after cleansing, while also leaving my skin feeling refreshed and moisturized.

Another plus point of Thayers Cucumber Alcohol-Free Toner is the size and look of the bottle. This toner will last for a long time! I believe the RRP is great value for money. I love the overall style of the bottle and the flip lid makes it really easy to use and not to waste product.

However, one thing that I didn't particularly like about this toner was its smell. While it is marketed as cucumber-scented, I found that the smell was very cucumbery, and not particularly pleasant. Obviously considering it is a cucumber toner this is a bit of a silly complaint however my nose just struggles to get past the scent.

Overall, I would definitely recommend Thayers Cucumber Alcohol-Free Toner with Witch Hazel Aloe Vera for those looking for a gentle, natural toner. While the scent was not for me, the benefits of this product in terms of hydration and soothing properties make it well worth trying out.

I'm not a stranger to Thayers products, my OG toner used to be the Thayers Rose Petal toner when I used to live overseas, and I'm glad Thayers is now available in NZ. Glad to be part of the trial team for this, or I wouldn't have known otherwise!

I like the value and size of this product (355ml), you can use it generously twice a day and will last you several months. You can even decant some onto a spray bottle as a face mist to freshen up on hot afternoons.

Formula is alcohol-free so it doesn't sting or dry out the skin. The ingredient list is pretty good - cucumber and aloe vera are both soothing for the skin, and witch hazel helps with acne-prone skin without being harsh and drying.

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!

First thought on this is what a huge bottle you get. You really get a lot of product which is great. The bottle itself kind of looks like an alcohol bottle which I personally thought was a little bit strange and not something I would pick off the shelf as I normally go for pretty packaging but that’s just me. The product itself it’s actually really nice and it does what it says and is non dry, for me it made my skin tone more even and slightly glowy. Didn’t notice a difference in my pores though. I personally really didn’t like the scent although it disappears on drying. It seems either really artificial almost to the point of smelling like a very strong rotten cucumber, although I gave it to my mum to try it and she really enjoyed the scent and thought it was fresh so personal preference on if you prefer scents or not. I have now popped it into my toner spray bottle and am applying it that way and it works great. Would recommend if you enjoy a stronger scent but it works very well to tone and even out the skin tone. Unsure if I would buy again due to the scent but would look at getting it if it were unscented as the product is great.

It may be natural, but it has a naturally strong cucumber scent. I like cucumbers but as soon as I opened the bottle it was overwhelming. Scent aside, it is a okay toner for me, nothing to write home about. I found it to be a little drying on my skin, which surprised me as it is alcohol free. It did the job, but left my skin feeling a little tight, maybe it's the witch hazel? I haven't seen any on-going benefits from it and I would reach for another toner over this one any day.

I'll start with the packaging. This product is a great size, I know it's going to last me a while! I do however feel like the lid doesn't close securely? Like it doesn't have that satisfying "click" when you close it, but I haven't experienced it leaking yet. The opening is quite small, so it's easy to control how much product comes out, which is handy.

The scent is mild and the hint of cucumber is refreshing.

One thing I really appreciate about this toner is how gentle it feels on the skin. After using it, my skin feels soothed and refreshed, without the harsh and drying effects that can sometimes come with toners that contain alcohol. I still recommend following up with a moisturiser, as witch hazel can still have a slight drying affect on the skin after a while.

In terms of results, I have noticed that my overall skin tone has evened out slightly, which is great. However, I have been experiencing more acne lately, but I'm not sure if that's related to the toner or just due to other factors like stress or being run down. I also haven't noticed much difference in pore size, but I'm yet to find ANY product that has helped my pores.

Overall, I would definitely recommend Thayers Cucumber Alcohol-Free Toner with Witch Hazel Aloe Vera to anyone looking for a gentle toner that can help improve their skin's texture and tone.

What a funky looking bottle. Looks like a bottle of gin before it looks like a toner. Nice easy opening top with great security seal. Smell is amazing and refreshing just as described as cucumber and witch hazel. The little hole makes it easy to dispense onto the cotton pad. The application is also just as promised! Really refreshing and a gentle tingling. I found that it cleared away a lot of residual oils that had remained after my face cleanser. My skin did feel lovely and very hydrated. I used it twice daily and I love how radiant my skin looks. I love the fact that is has so many natural ingredients and trust using it on my face. This is one of the good ones ladies!
