Overview
Thayers' Rose Petal Witch Hazel Toner combines witch hazel with aloe vera in an alcohol free, organic formula, and it is scented with rose petal for a softer sensory experience than an unscented astringent. It is labeled for all skin types and marketed for everyday toning.
The bottle holds 355 milliliters, or 12 fluid ounces, which is a generous size for daily use over several months. Because the formula skips alcohol, it is built to tone without the harsher, drying feel of older style astringents.
With more than 1,000 ratings averaging 4.7 stars, this toner has built one of the stronger track records in this lineup. That level of consistent feedback suggests it has earned its place as a long standing staple in many routines, even with modest current monthly purchase numbers.

Performance notes
Witch hazel and aloe vera are the two main ingredients here, with witch hazel offering the toning effect and aloe vera adding a soothing, moisturizing balance. The alcohol free, organic formula is built to tone gently rather than strip the skin, which fits its all skin types labeling.
What buyers say
A 4.7 star average across more than 1,000 ratings is a strong, consistent score, on par with the better performing toners in this lineup. That large review base suggests a long track record of satisfied repeat buyers rather than a newer, less proven formula.

Does this toner contain alcohol?
No, it is formulated without alcohol, which helps it tone without the harsher, drying feel of some traditional witch hazel astringents. The organic formula pairs witch hazel with aloe vera for a gentler balance.
Is the rose petal scent strong?
The formula is scented with rose petal, giving it a softer, more pleasant smell than an unscented witch hazel toner. If you prefer completely fragrance free products, this scent is worth knowing about ahead of time.

It holds 355 milliliters, or 12 fluid ounces, which is a generous size for a daily toning step. For most people using it once or twice a day, that should last a couple of months or more.
