Thayers Witch Hazel with Aloe Vera, Original Astringent, 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)

I'm in my early 50's and I suffered more acne in the last 2 years than I ever did as a teen. I have spent hundreds if not more between facials and expensive products for my face. Some of them seemed to work at first but then my face almost seemed worsted than before. My doctor even gave me antibiotics. I took them for a month and then stopped taking them. They helped but were never able to return my face and skin to normal. I suffered from a lot of deep acne along my jaw line. My nose and cheeks just hurt all the time. I changed my diet and washed my pillow case 2 times a week and changed laundry soaps. My face would be dry as a bone for 2 weeks and slick with oil the next 2 weeks. On spots where I had tried to dry out a painful zit the skin was dry and flaky. Thayers rose petal Witch Hazel with aloe Vera has worked better than everything ! I use it several times a day. If I have to get up at night I grab a quick pad with Thayers and use it. My skin feels the same every day now. Soft and smooth but not oily. No flaking from dry skin. Break outs are less and when I do they are easy to deal with. My pores do seem smaller and I seem to have less blackheads. It smells wonderful to me. I have even had friends ask me what new perfume I'm wearing because they love it. My youngest daughter who is 17 uses it all the time now also. She was having trouble with acne also but her face is clear now too. Iwe can both now go out with out make up and don't feel bad about our skin anymore. I have been using it for about 2 months now and my face and skin is significantly better. Acne 95% to 98% gone and breakouts less frequency. If I do break out I use several times a day and it dries them out quickly. Before I would big red lumps or welts under my skin that could take a week or longer before they went away. * I have used other brands of witch hazel with alcohol but they just dried my skin and it didn't show any improvement. IMPORTANT- at each use I use at least 2 disposable pads. I wipe one side of my face with one side then flip it and use the other side. When my face dries. I do it again. I don't want to smear the oil and dirt the pad picked up. It doesn't leave a film on my skin and my skin doesn't feel sticky. I also don't seem to need a moisturizer much anymore.

I used some witch hazel while pet sitting recently. Then I decided I liked how it made my skin look and feel and I'd do some amazon-researching to find the best one. Well...this is it. Buy it in the 2-3 pack- you WILL use it. I put it on after my shower -- I towel pat my face, then pour this in my hands and rub it on my face. I then use a little more and rub it into my neck and arms...but I'm thinking I'll just go all the way and start rubbing some on my legs. ANYONE who has touched my skin lately has said it is the softest skin they have ever felt. *I* feel it becoming softer by the day. It's also SUPER clear. I have sensitive skin - always have. I'm acne prone around my jaw line from my hair/hair products...NO MORE! I literally have no more acne. My pores look AMAZING. My skin "glows"...and it smells WONDERFUL. This is has been a miracle product for me. I tell EVERYONE about it. I even used it recently between the folds of a PUGGLE'S face-skin flaps because they looked red, irritated, and smelled a little of yeast. She didn't budge (it doesn't burn, it has no alcohol) and she looked and smelled LOVELY afterwards -- this is a DOG people! And it helped ease HER inflamed skin! It's such a soft, natural product I recommend it to EVERYONE and I will be using it for the rest of my life. :D

I bought this hoping to add a good quality, gentle toner to my list of facial products because I have both acne-prone skin and large pores on my cheeks. And so far, I have nothing but good things to say about this product! For one, I bought this in October of 2018, and I'm still only on bottle number 1. I don't use it as often as I should (because I'm lazy/always rushing), but I can say this, my acne has improved considerably since I bought it. Although, I can't tell if it's because of this or because, at the same time, I'm finally finding the right products for my skin. What I can tell you is this: as someone who suffers from combination, sensitive, acne-prone skin, this doesn't dry out my face whatsoever, and literally everything dries out my face at the drop of a hat. It really is soft on your skin--it refreshes! I think that's the best way to put it. It's wonderful at reducing redness from post-shower scrubbing or inflamed breakouts, and gentle enough to scrub over your eyes/nose/mouth area to remove heavy makeup, BUT strong enough to get all of the residual makeup off. Honestly, it still shocks me how much makeup it's able to grab, even after 2-3 passes of a makeup wipe. I also think it's helped with my pigmentation from acne scars, but, again, I can't be sure since my entire routine has been on point lately. At the very least, it hasn't done anything to mess my face up, which is more than can be said for a lot of products. It's largest selling point, though, for me, is that it doesn't dry you out at all. It leaves your skin feeling dewy, even. I'm still really shocked at that? When my sensitive skin is too irritated to be washed at night, I gently rub my face down with a steaming hot towel, to open my pores, and then pass this toner over my face before my nightly moisturizer.

I have always had troubled skin. However, I had a good skin regimen in place through my teens and was usually able to keep it under control most of the time. Enter my 20's -- whole different world. Everything I used in my early teens did nothing to keep my face clear anymore. It was awful and completely frustrating to not have any control in keeping my break outs at bay. At points it became very embarrassing to leave the house -- my whole chin/jawline would be broken out and painful. I started trying everything from a drugstore products to high end products I could think of and no luck what so ever. Some of the brands were seriously expensive such as Elizabeth Arden, Estee Lauder, and Oriflame, but it still wasn't enough. After a lot of research I realized that this product kept coming up -- and the reviews were pretty good. Since it was just a toner, I figured it wouldn't do much to help but for $10 I'd give it a shot. I cannot praise this product enough. It has become a staple in my face care routine. I am no longer dealing with painful acne. I still have minor acne but it's just that -- minor and much less frequent. I wouldn't say that using this alone would control my breakouts but it has massively improved my skin. My face feels hydrated but not oily, does not leave my skin dry, and the smell is incredible. I use it twice a day after washing my face. I am so glad I gave this a chance. Highly recommend.

What a miracle in a bottle! They are pretty generous bottles, and you really can't beat the price for a 2 pack, it made my day! My skin is thanking you! I use this on my face, but witch hazel is healing to a lot of skin ailments. I tested it out on my legs, and my legs felt soft as if I put on lotion. On lazy nights I just swipe a few cotton balls across my face with this, and my skin looks so fresh, bright and clear in the morning!! I don't know how it does this. I have always had acne on my cheeks, an oily T-zone, but random dryness depending on the weather, etc. Baggy eyes (genetics, sigh) however, this truly is an anti-inflammatory, and it really makes the bags under my eyes less puffy, yay! I have never found anything to help with that before this!! I notice that I barely wash my face anymore since using this. I typically need a cleanser to prevent breaking out ( I use Pan oxyl, which is amazing, but drying) and I really don't see a need to use it when I use this. I like to use Jason moisturizer, in aloe vera as well, but my skin feels refreshed and moisturized, so I have barely been using that either. I feel so lucky that I found this stuff! I will use it forever!​

I'm attaching photos, the first in the grey is the before, the second in the black is the after. Before comparing these pictures, I didn't think that this formula was doing much for me. Then I realized that my face does look brighter and more even. There is a distinct blemish that I've had on the right side of my face (near my mole) that has been bothering me for a while. I was distracted because I continued to break out while using this product. After reading some of the other reviews, I was under the impression that this product might also help to stop my breakouts. It made me break out more along my jawline in the beginning, but I think I can chalk that up to my skin getting used to it. As a toner, this product does what it says it does. I would caution people prone to breakouts that they will probably breakout more for the first week or so and then it should go back to normal, if not better. I can now see that scars/blemishes on my face have decreased in visibility. This is a good, natural product. I swear I've been staring at that blemish since I got it and now it's leaving, slowly but surely! I am giving it 4 stars right now because it did make me break out on places that I don't usually have problems with anymore...I'm hoping that this symptom goes away. The biggest side effect is that my skin seems to have more little bumps along my jaw and cheek line. Though they aren't necessarily visible, it's changed the smoothness of my skin. I'd say it takes away dark spots, and is a little irritating at first. The good news is that I can wait for small pumps and pimples to leave relatively soon. My skin scars easily, so those marks are harder to deal with. This product has really helped me :)

I looooove this product! I normally don't write reviews, but I always use them when deciding to order products (yeah, I know) But! This stuff is seriously amazing! It has helped with evening my skin tone, and keeping my skin feeling fresh. I ordered my first bottle in Nov 2017, and by Dec my mom wanted me to order some for her. It lasted me until late March of this year, but I have to admit my usage may be different than some. I use it after taking off makeup as a pre-cleanser, and also use it post-wash before my serum. This stuff is seriously great, and not having been able to use it for about a month I can see the clear difference in my skin. My ma loves it as well! For those who may be concerned about scent, it's very light, and smells like a rose, if that smell is fine with you, then go ahead and order it. You won't regret it! My shipment this time did come slashed for some reason, but in the tape, but on the topside, enough for someone to peek into it. This is my third time ordering, and it's the first time this has happened. It looks like no damage to the product tho. A tip for when you're not wearing makeup, put some of this in a spray bottle as a spritz, the scent is relaxing and your face feels nice and cooled afterwards!

I always have Thayers rose toner in my house...it feels so good, your skin feels so soft after using it on your face and neck. The aroma is very pleasing as well...

Great

It has phenoxyethanol, a somewhat skin drying preservative that adds rose parfum scent to many products. I don't usually buy skin products with it, but this witch hazel does smell very good and hopefully the glycerin and additional oil will reduce the drying effect.

ya llevo un tiempo usandolo y me ha gustado , soy de piel grasa y me ha ayudado a controlarla , ademas a mejorado la textura de mi piel y mis imperfecciones han disminuido notablemente,

Doesn't irritate my sensitive skin and has mild to almost no scent. Great buy.
