Thayers Lavender Alcohol-Free Toner with Witch Hazel Aloe Vera

This was my first time using a Thayers product. I used the toner at the end of the day as a cleanser and toner. You only need a small amount on a soft cloth and then wipe over your face. It's refreshingly clean. I was looking forward to the lavender fragrance, it is subtle and not over powering. The ingredients make this a gentle toner and there's no dryness that you can get with other toners. My skin felt more nourished and hydrated. I have sensitive skin and no reactions. I would definitely be buying this again.

I was really excited to be able to review this as I had seen advertising for this EVERYWHERE. Its unique label had me intrigued.

I have used Thayers Alcohol-Free Lavender Witch Hazel Facial Toner with Aloe Vera Formula for about 3 days now and I am a little disappointed as it didnt suit my skin type.

I have psoriasis so chose the lavender option as it is suitable for sensitive skin. It claimed to be a gentle toner that does not irritate skin. However after each use it did leave my skin feeling a little dry and especially so around the eyes.

I found it definitely helped to remove any excess oil or dirt from my face however wasn't able to use more than once a day.

This product has a lot going for it. It is alcohol-free, is made with witch hazel, aloe vera, and lavender all of which are all plant based natural ingredients. The scent is light and while mainly lavender, the witch hazel does come through ever so slightly but is not over bearing.

I wanted to like this product given its price point (around $15 for 355ml) but this did irritate the area around my eyes. I am currently using an eye cream so it may not pair well with that. I did stop the usage of the eye cream for 2 days to see if the irritation stopped but it didn’t.

It definitely did remove excess oil and dirt from my face but left my face feeling slightly dry. Given the irritation, this isn’t a product that I would be able to add to my regular skin care routine.

I have recently had very sensitive skins due to hormonal changes and age. I found this toner to be very soothing and has helped to clear up patches of dry, peeling skin. The smell is subtle which I enjoy and a few drops on a cotton ball goes a long way. The bottle is attractive so looks nice on my dresser. I have enjoyed using this product and have seen a change in my skin with it getting clearer and more settled.

This is a nice addition to my evening routine. It cleanses well but still feels gentle and leaves no tight feeling afterwards. It smells lovely and prepares me for bed! I definitely think my skin is softer after using this and it does look more even.

Thank you, Beauty Review, for the opportunity to trial Thayers Lavender Alcohol-Free Toner with Witch Hazel Aloe Vera.

Thayers Toner comes in a large 355ml clear bottle with an 'old school looking medicine bottle label', which immediately put a smile on my face. I do like the labelling. There is a lot on information on the bottle label including directions, ingredients and origins.

After cleansing my face, initially I soaked a makeup remover pad with the toner and lightly spread across my face and neck. I am not a fan of applying this way, so distributed the toner into a clean/recycled spray bottle so I can apply by spritzing.

Thayers Lavender Alcohol-Free Toner with Witch Hazel Aloe Vera feels soothing on my skin and my face feels smooth and really clean. My skin does not dry out from the toner.

Once the toner is dry, I then carry on with my normal routine of applying moisturiser etc.

I think Thayers Lavender Alcohol-Free Toner with Witch Hazel Aloe Vera is good value for what you get.

I am very impressed with this product. I don't usually use toners but when adding this to my skincare routine, i could tell a difference in the texture of my skin the next day! I have been very unhappy with my skin's complexion lately and I wasn't sure why it was happening. Instantly the next morning, my skin looked more even & nourished!

I was excited to try this toner as I love a product that can cleanse, tone and moisturise all in one! I was surprised to see the packaging, which is quite ‘old worldly’ - I can honestly say if I saw this on the shelf I probably wouldn’t buy it (it’s crazy how we judge things by their packaging!). The look is a bit strange and unappealing, I thought. The bottle is large which is great as there is lots of product. I applied using a cotton pad and wiped the product on after my usual cleanse routine. I found it good for removing anything (makeup, dirt etc) that my cleanser had missed. I experienced a bit of stinging/tingling when applying the product - nothing major but it did warm my skin a bit but it calmed quickly. The lavender smell was subtle and I liked the scent. My skin was noticeably clean and soft after application and I could definitely feel the moisturising effect. I’m not big on applying moisturiser as it makes my skin feel a bit greasy so this was a great product to use, especially under my make up, to stop any excess shine but still leave my skin soft Even though I wouldn’t have picked it myself, I was happy with the product.

I have been pleasantly surprised by this Thayers Lavender Alcohol-Free Toner with Witch Hazel Aloe Vera. I haven't used toner in years as they used to be alcohol based, so would dry out my normal-dry skin.

This toner is not alcohol based and is instead, lovely and refreshing on the skin. I applied the lightly lavender fragranced toner with a damp cotton pad. It easily removed the last of my cleanser and makeup, preparing my skin for my moisturiser. It left my skin feeling nourished and made my moisturiser spread more easily, added bonus being that I used less product!

I was a bit hesitant with this toner, purely because it was scented. However, I have been quite happy with the results. The lavender scent is not overwhelming at all. When using, my skin feels refreshed and extra clean, but it doesn’t dry my skin out, which I find a lot of toners do (hence why I stopped using them). I get hormonal pimples when it’s my time of the month. They can get a bit sore and inflamed looking. This month, my pimples weren’t inflamed and red, the they were barely even sore. The only thing that’s changed, is the introduction of this toner! So I’m am putting it down to that :)

Extremely happy with this toner, and will definitely be repurchasing once this bottle runs out. It’s a big bottle - I have been using twice a day for almost 2 weeks and I’ve barely put a dent in it :)

This lovely product comes in a fairly plain plastic bottle with a pop top that has a small dispenser top underneath. The bottle works fine. I have been accessing the product by using a make up pad, pouring it onto the pad and rubbing it into my skin.

The product is thin and watery and has a lovely soft scent of lavender. After applying it, it dries quickly and leaves a soft fresh feel, and as per the product claim, does not sting the sensitive areas of my skin, nor dry out my skin. It removes left over markup and grime very efficiently when I haven't cleansed my skin very well at the end of the day.

It comes in a large 355ml bottle and is $17.99 at Chemist Warehouse, a fair price for such a large bottle that will last for ages. I most certainly recommend it to people who like to use toner or who are after an easy, gentle answer to skin hydration.

I love that it doesn't contain alcohol. It does hydrate my skin and leaves it feeling fresh, clean and soft, which is what I want and expect in a good toner. I can't say my skin tone looks more even, but it does meet the other claims. So all in all, it is a very good product that mostly does what it says it will do.
