Thayers Lavender Alcohol-Free Toner with Witch Hazel Aloe Vera

So I've never really caught on to the toner hype...until now. Now I get it. This toner is amazing! I've used it daily, multiple times a day for the past 2 weeks and my skin has loved me for it. It has balanced my skin like I've never seen before! Coming into colder temps, I noticed my skin starting to dry out around the nose, but this toner fixed that. I also noticed it really cleansed my face, even after I thought I had 'cleansed' my makeup off I was getting more with this toner. It's super nice, smells lovely, is gentle and also comes in a HUGE bottle.

First use it tingles slightly, but your skin gets used to it very quickly. I also have more sensitive skin than not, and had no reactions. I was also having a rosacea flare up (from foods) when I started using it and it didn't worsen it at all!

I don't normally use facial toners so this was new to me. I do find it helps cleanse the skin more, (I thought my skin was clean, but there was always extra makeup on the toner pad). It had a nice light pleasant fragrance, and definitely felt cooling to apply. It absorbed quickly which I liked to, so I could carry on with my routine. I think my face does definitely feel slightly softer, but I havent noticed any other effects yet. I have actually had a few spots pop up which may be attributed to this toner.... I will definitely continue with this and see if the other results happen in time. I think this would work well in a misting/spray bottle to apply to your face for a cooling effect when needed as it states you can apply it as often as you like. Great for those hot flushes!! Another plus is the bottle will last a long time. Thank you for the opportunity to try this.

I just want to say that I have only ever used a toner if I have had makeup on and want to get rid of every little bit of makeup before I go to bed - and I don't wear makeup very often.

The container has a flip top to pour out the toner or you could take off the top to tip onto a cotton pad if preferred. The flip top had an ingenious rim around the top that stopped product dripping down the bottle - loved that totally!

The toner had a lovely mild lavender aroma and my skin felt so soft and lubricated after using it. Other toners I have used have made my skin feel tight and dry after but not this one.

I had not used any makeup and was amazed how "dirty" the cotton pad was even though I had cleansed my skin.

I have found that my skin has been relativity pimple free since using the toner regularly which doesn't usually happen for me.

Highly recommend

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.

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 :)

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 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 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!

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.

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.
