This is a wonderful toner. It moisturizes without drying, soothes sensitive skin, and the rose smell is delicious. It feels luxurious to apply in the morning to start the day, for a calming lift in the afternoon, or a relaxing way to prepare for sleep. A small amount goes a long way, so I've been surprised by how long a bottle lasts. I can't think of any way to improve this product.

I'm addicted! totally addicted. I ran out this week and couldn't bring myself to throw out the bottle until the new bottle arrived in the mail, hoping I could eek out a few more skin nourishing droplets.

you have got to try it! I have insane combination skin, with a forehead that gets so greasy you'd think someone had drained 6 pounds of bacon on it and cheeks that get dry, red and patchy if the wind blows a little too hard on them. I dampen a cotton pad with this and stroke it across my skin, and the results are amazing - cheeks are softened, forehead is cleared of shiny greasiness and relieved of the bumps that can so often be found there. it's alcohol free and doesn't dry out my skin, either. the smell is an artificial rose smell, which may not be for everyone, but others have remarked that it has that clean soap smell instead. the last bottle I bought lasted me for about 9 months of once daily swabbings, plus whatever portion my daughter has used, so it's also a bargain, even counting the shipping cost!

I've been having a lot of trouble finding good products made by companies that don't do any animal testing, so was I relieved to find that the manufacturer's website states that "all thayers products are vegetarian and never tested on animals". yay!

Thayers Witch Hazel-Rose Petal alcohol-free toner can also be used to clean your makeup brushes. It contains some of the essential ingredients found in a popular makeup artist brand of brush cleaner...witch hazel (a cleansing ingredient) and grapefruit seed extract (known for it's antibacterial properties). What it doesn't have in common with the MA brand is alcohol, which is a very drying ingredient, both for the face and natural hair brushes. Try it; I think you will agree that this is a great multi-tasker product!

A self proclaimed cosmetic skeptic, I've been using this for 3 months now. I am 48 years old and honestly my skin really does looks years younger. Thayer's witch hazel w/rose has evened out my skin tone, gotten rid of red patches, and oily t-areas. Also, wrinkles are less noticeable now because the witch hazel cleans out the dirt, oils & make-up trapped inside the fine lines which always makes the lines look worse. I also use it on my neck and it has tightened up the skin under my jaw as well.
I went out to the lake today and throughout the day I spritzed my face with a bottle of toner I kept in my cooler. What a delightful treat from the heat!
I like the soft rose scent. It's not too overpowering to me and I follow it morning and evening with a moisturizer. To make application easier, I clean out an old moisturizer jar and put a stack of round gauze pads inside. Then I pour the witch hazel into the jar and cover. The pads are ready & hassel free.
Good thing is it's cost effective, lasts a long time & if you don't like it you're not out a whole lot of money - give it to a neighbor for her or him to try!

I am an Asian (from Taiwan). Back to the days in my country, we always use a toner with a compressed mask. Leave the mask on your face for at least 15 minutes, and your skin will feel refresh and comforting. But not all toner can do this, only those without alcohol or thermal spring water can do that, or your skin may be irritated. I tried many toners, including those from Japan. This one is the best and the cheapest. It helps to soothe my skin, especially when I have some rash or redness because of using wrong skincare products or allergy. It can reduce redness but still moisturizes my skin without stickiness. Also, after applying the mask, I will use some moisturizer. I feel that my face absorb moisturizer very easily. Keep your skin moisturized and away from sun burn are always the best ways to prevent aging apprearance. This is the little trick that we always do back to my country. This is a really amazing product. I have various masks and constantly change my stock. But this one is definitely always on my shelf.

Thayer has lots of toners, but this one is the best.

I've been using Thayer's Rose Petal Witch Hazel for years. I no longer buy the expensive toners at the retail stores (although I do still indulge in other pricey skin care items). I really like the witch hazel. It lifts off the oil and accumulated dirt without drying out my skin and it has a really pleasant scent. Another make-up tip: use almond oil as a make-up remover.

I'm a facial product junkie (hello, Sephora addict!) I'm always trying new skin care products and looking for something that will make my combination skin clean, balanced, and fresh. This stuff is by far the best toner I have ever tried. The Clinique stuff always dried out my skin too much (because of the alcohol). And then some toners that are alcohol-free don't actually do anything to clean your skin, so they are worthless. It's hard to find a good one, but this is it!

I use this product after using my cleanser because I want to make sure I get any residue or debris of make-up off. This gets my skin smooth and clean without drying it out. Plus, I find the subtle rose scent to be quite pleasant.

I will absolutely buy this again.

I've used many toners in my 38 years, but this one is THE best. Don't pay tons of money for small bottles of toners, when you can get this huge bottle with the best smelling, most gentle, cleansing toner. Even after a day in the sun, this will not hurt/burn my face. It's very cleansing and my skin doesn't feel tight afterwards like a lot of other toners. I originally bought this because of the inexpensive cost, but after time, and once I could afford higher end beauty products, I found myself coming back to this toner. It's the best and I won't use anything else.

I have cantankerous skin with acne scars to boot. This toner is great - it evens my skin tone out and the scars are not as prominent. Lotion goes on so well and feels great on top of it. It's also wonderful for when I'm feeling down - it's a great picker-upper!

Overall, this is awesome.

Thayer's, a venerable Westport, Connecticut company, has invented an extremely satisfying and effective alternative to plain old witch hazel, well known for its astringent, mild exfolliant, and cleansing properties. This cocktail for the skin really does smell like fresh rose petals, which is both amazing and expected since it is made with ... Purified Rose Water! There is no alcohol-like smell; in fact, thre is no alcohol. I won't repeat all the ingredients since Amazon.com helpfully lists them in the "product description," but they include soothing aloe vera, Vitamin E, and grapefruit seed extract. While the ingredients appear to have moisturizing qualities, I notice and appreciate most the fresh clean feeling I have after using it.
