The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other women's everyday face care: moisturizers, face mists, facial kits, rollers, cleansing brushes and steamers we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
This mist pairs witch hazel with aloe vera in a formula built for even toning, and it skips alcohol, which keeps it from leaning as drying as older style witch hazel toners can. The cranberry orange scent sets it apart from Thayers' more common unscented version, giving it a lighter, fruitier feel on application.
At 3 ounces, this bottle is sized as a trial, which makes it an easy, low commitment way to test the scent and formula before buying a larger bottle. The material features lean natural and organic, and the product is cruelty free.
With a 4.6 star rating from 146 reviewers and a $5.79 price, this trial size performs well, though its review count is understandably smaller than Thayers' flagship unscented witch hazel toner given its more limited trial size format.
Pros
- Alcohol free witch hazel and aloe vera formula aimed at even toning
- Cranberry orange scent adds a pleasant, natural feeling touch
- Cruelty free and made with natural, organic material features
- Trial size makes it easy and affordable to test before buying full size
- 4.6 star rating from 146 reviewers shows strong buyer satisfaction
Cons
- 3 ounce trial size runs out faster than a full size witch hazel toner
- 146 reviews is a smaller sample than Thayers' more popular unscented version
- Scented formula will not suit anyone who prefers fragrance free skincare
Performance notes
Witch hazel is a long standing toning ingredient, and pairing it with aloe vera helps offset the drying reputation witch hazel can have on its own. Because this version is alcohol free, it is built to tone and refresh without the harsher, stripping feel that alcohol based witch hazel mists can leave behind.
What buyers say
A 4.6 star average from 146 reviewers is a strong showing, though the review count is modest compared to Thayers' flagship unscented witch hazel toner, which suggests this cranberry orange trial size is more of a discovery size than the brand's top seller.

Frequently asked questions
Is this the same as Thayers' regular witch hazel toner?
It shares the alcohol free witch hazel and aloe vera base, but this version adds a cranberry orange scent and comes in a 3 ounce trial size rather than a full size bottle. It's a good way to test the scent before buying more.
Can this toner replace a moisturizer?
No, it's designed as a toning mist that preps and refreshes skin, not a standalone moisturizer. Most routines still follow it with a separate moisturizer to lock in hydration.
