Overview
This Plant Therapy toner combines rose and alcohol free witch hazel, positioned as a hydrating, pore minimizing option for normal skin. The brand markets it for toning and hydrating, with a replenishing feel meant to leave skin refreshed rather than stripped.
The formula's active ingredient list also includes retinol and vitamin E alongside the witch hazel and rose water base, adding a touch of antioxidant support beyond a basic witch hazel splash. It comes in a 4 fluid ounce bottle and is labeled natural and not tested on animals.
At 4.7 stars from 105 reviews, it holds a strong rating, though the review count is on the smaller side, which fits a more niche brand rather than a mainstream bestseller.

Performance notes
Witch hazel is a traditional toning ingredient often used to help refresh and minimize the look of pores, and pairing it with rose water gives the formula a soothing, replenishing feel. The listed retinol and vitamin E add a layer of antioxidant and renewal support, so easing in slowly and using sun protection during the day is a sensible approach with any retinol containing product.
What buyers say
At 4.7 stars from 105 reviewers, this toner has a strong but smaller review base. The feedback volume is modest compared to bigger national brands, which likely reflects its more niche positioning rather than any quality issue.

Frequently asked questions
Is this toner strong enough to exfoliate?
It is positioned as a witch hazel and rose toner for hydrating and pore minimizing rather than a dedicated exfoliating treatment. The listed retinol offers some renewal support, but this is not a heavy duty acid exfoliant.
Can I use this toner if I already use a retinol product at night?
Since this formula also lists retinol as an active ingredient, layering it with another retinol product could increase the chance of irritation. It is worth introducing gradually and watching how your skin responds.
