Wonderful Astringent

I have acne-prone combination sensitive skin and I love this as an astringent. Other astringents have fragrance, drying alcohol, and distilled witch hazel depleted of the natural tannins.

This one has none of the problems I described above with one more pro: it even has aloe vera! This calms my skin, keeps acne at bay and helps with oil control (but doesn't dehydrate my skin and cause peeling like drying alcohols, salicylic acid, and benzoyl peroxide would).

Be warned though: some people are sensitive to witch hazel so I would spot-test on your neck first if you have sensitive skin.

How I use it: after cleansing, I soak a cotton pad with this and then use it on damp skin--focusing only on acne-prone/oily areas like my T-zone. I follow with an antioxidant serum then a moisturizer--both of which I apply all-over. This toner seems to work well even on days I use adapalene--the combo causes no irritation.

And to address the review that gave this one star for ineffective makeup removal: this toner is not formulated to remove makeup. A cleanser and/or makeup remover should do that. Toners can remove TRACES of makeup the cleanser missed--but this can also indicate the need for a better cleansing method.

I use this product as a toner AM and PM after my cleanser. This makes me rest assured that my makeup as been removed before I go to bed.

Others claimed that this has helped them with acne breakouts, but sometimes I suspect this has aggravated mine.

Maybe the lemon and rose versions would be better because this reminds me of using laundry detergent smelling soap on my face.

I have always used toner on my face, as I got older I switched to alcohol-free toner. But this one is the best of all! Very gentle, absolutely no irritation, leaves my skin clean and soft, not sticky like some other brands.

Comments about Thayers Alcohol-Free Witch Hazel with Organic Aloe Vera Formula Toner, Unscented, 12 fl oz:

At first I was not sure about this toner because it feels like water and smells like nothing. I don't understand the other reviews that say there's a smell, because this is toner is literally just like water. I was upset that I paid money for water.

However, it is very effective at controlling oil, so at least I know it works. I think this would help people with acne who have dry/combination skin. Perhaps people with oily skin would need something stronger.

Comments about Thayers Alcohol-Free Witch Hazel with Organic Aloe Vera Formula Toner, Unscented, 12 fl oz:

I had been using another brand of alcohol-free toner, but it was full of chemicals and left my skin sticky. Thayers is so much better. Very gentle, my skin feels soft and clean, not sticky. Witch hazel is very calming and healing for the skin, and aloe helps to keep it healthy and soft. I will never buy another brand!

Comments about Thayers Alcohol-Free Witch Hazel with Organic Aloe Vera Formula Toner, Unscented, 12 fl oz:

This is a great basic toner. I love that it is unscented. It is so gentle that I got it in my eye and it didn't hurt! I don't want a lot of bells and whistles from my toner, as I use a serum, moisturizer, and BB cream too. I just want it to clean up any residue and leave a clean, toned feeling without drying my skin. This fits the bill.

After radiation treatment

Comments about Thayers Alcohol-Free Witch Hazel with Organic Aloe Vera Formula Toner, Unscented, 12 fl oz:

I used this on my skin, post-radiation treatment for breast cancer. I needed something extremely gentle to clean the area and keep it hydrated after the burn. It was also beneficial in the healing process. I applied it after showering, and then put on a thin layer of organic 100% cocoa butter.
