After giving Thayer’s toners and other brands a chance for many years, I gave up on watery toners because I felt like they either dried my skin out even more, were too harsh, or didn’t really do anything. I’ve seen many good reviews about this product but was a bit worried about the alcohol in it. But I am so glad I finally purchased this. It has been about a week of using it twice a day (AM & PM) and it really does restore moisture into the skin after cleansing. I apply in layers until my skin feels well hydrated. There is no negative or drying effect of the alcohol, for those who are concerned about that, at least not for me. An additional benefit that I did not expect at all is that it somehow has been improving my skin tone and texture..? I’m prone to closed comedones and struggle with clogged pores and micro bumps all over my face. Also have lots of PIE marks from breakouts. Nothing else in my skincare routine has changed aside from this so I suspect my skin hasn’t been receiving all the hydration it needed, and that this product has been helping. Sometimes our skin can reach a plateau with the products in our routine, so it’s good to switch things up when that time comes. This product has been a wonderful addition to mine.
