Performance notes
Witch hazel is a classic toning ingredient, and removing the alcohol that traditional witch hazel extracts often carry helps this formula lean toward soothing rather than stripping. Aloe vera works alongside it to support hydration, which is part of why the brand positions this as an all skin types, tone, balance, soothe and hydrate formula rather than a treatment toner.

Frequently asked questions
Is this toner good for sensitive skin?
Yes, it's unscented and alcohol free, which are two common triggers for sensitive skin removed from the formula. Aloe vera is included to help support a soothing feel on application.
Does this toner exfoliate?
No, this version is built around witch hazel and aloe vera rather than an acid, so it's meant to tone, balance and hydrate rather than exfoliate. Anyone wanting exfoliation would need to pair it with a separate acid based product.
