Review on Organic Balancing Witch Hazel Facial Toner by Brittanie's Thyme: 4 oz, Peppermint & Sweet Orange Oils for a Relieved and Calm Complexion by Kelly Thompson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Nice smell, good toner

I used witch hazel and alcohol toner as a kid - I've always had normal to oily skin - and loved the clean feel it gave me. This tonic is similar, although the smell of rosemary and mint is strong. As one of the 1B (in 2021) chronic migraine sufferers of which 3:1 are women, I am among the 95% who have a keen sense of smell. However, I'm more comfortable with natural flavors - rosemary, mint, citrus - as in this tonic (mint is often used to relieve migraine pain). It's an industrial "flavor" you find in cosmetics that causes nausea, especially when applied to the face. So this toner is quite pleasant. It's also nice and feels like an extra cleaner. Because Revain doesn't list a specific location for the ingredients, Brittani's Thyme lists the following on the label and on its website: Distilled Water (Water), Organic Witch Hazel (Hamamelis) Distillate, Organic Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Oil, Organic Citrus Sinensis Oil (Sweet Orange), Organic Damask Rose (Rose) Flower Oil. for which I am very grateful.

Pros
  • Don't waste too much time
