Review on Thayers Lavender Witch Hazel Facial Toner With Aloe Vera - Alcohol-Free Formula - 3 Fl Oz - Trial Size by Brad Phifer

Well I love the size. It's not a trial size it's a travel size so it's much bigger than expected. Mine came open and leaking so I lost about 1/4 of it in shipping. It's not even worth sending back I have absolutely had it with Walmart's awful concern for the consumer thanks to countless fraudulent items (over$1500 I can't send back now that I realized my art supplies are fake) and their shipping totally trashed items (one sketchbook looked like it was run over and dragged by a car, not even kidding, tire track and folded back hard cover put in a box and sent that way).The reason I gave thus 4 stars and not 5 is because, my dad (who is deceased) used to use witch hazel on his face when I was little. And although we had a bad relationship, I always loved the smell so much. I have been using it for many years but it's changed. I was pretty sure this was the same stuff or close enough to what he used so I got it. It didn't give me an option to get the normal witch hazel scent, it offered an "unscented" kind that I was sure meant just what it said. So I hoped for the best that the witch hazel scent was just spruced up by these scents and read the best reviews about the Lavender (not my favorite scent by the way) and got that one. So my star I took away is because this doesn't smell like witch hazel at all and looking at the ingredients, it has some weird "organic" witch hazel with parentheses that had a large number of ingredients that they seem to claim makes it witch hazel. Witch hazel isn't made of flowers and spices. It is actually a thing all it's own. It's just witch hazel. That's the ingredient. So.I thought I was purchasing real witch hazel without the 14% alcohol they now put in it which is murder on your skin so it's not possible to use it as a toner or what it really is. an astringent. I put pictures up of the ingredients of the bottle I bought and another picture of actual generic witch hazel that smells like witch hazel, but over the years everything has to have extra things added I guess ruining the use of it entirely. It never had alcohol in it, my dad used it on my sister and me when we would get a scraped knee and with alcohol (that I'm now allergic to) that would have had us screaming bloody murder.So my review is, buy it if you like it. Try it, why not? People like it. But you aren't actually getting witch hazel. You're getting a ton of ingredients. Like well.13 listed ones, and it says it "denotes certified organic ingredients" so who even knows what those are.I hope it works for you. I like the smell, I might as well use it. We'll see what it does or doesn't do. And I'll just do a search for the real thing. No wonder it has zero witch hazel scent. It would smell like it if it was actually witch hazel. It's like removing the scent from alcohol. It just IS.Oh and if in my photo you notice my bottle is fuller than what I said leaked, it because I added my other witch hazel to it to fill it up. It still doesn't have enough natural smell to it like I'd hoped but.oh well.
