What the gurus are saying

Milky but light is the surprise here. This toner hydrates without any weight, and gurus say it soaks in soft rather than sticky, even on oily skin. It leans on water over richness, so combination skin gets the most from it. The catch is that it can foam up on skin, and some find it too basic next to other toners at a similar price.

"Thayers is a drugstore brand and it's famous for their witch hazel toner and I feel like it's gotten a little bit of flack because some people say witch hazel is too irritating for the skin. I think it is formulated where a lot of skin types can use it. Obviously, I wouldn't recommend it for people with dry or sensitive skin. I do appreciate that they did come out with a milky toner with snow mushroom and that one is very lovely. All skin types can tolerate that one."

"Then they sent me their milky toner, absolutely love this, it's got snow mushroom in alongside hyaluronic acid so again really really nicely hydrating, it will often foam a little bit for me which is annoying, but for the price I don't really care, all in all I've been impressed with this brand so far."

"I think they're doing this toner a disservice by only saying it's for those with dry and sensitive skin. Even in the summer when I'm oily, this will still help hydrate and moisturize without weighing me down or adding any kind of moisturizing bulk to my skin. [...] For a very accessible, affordable milky toner, I think this is a really decent product. I'm pleasantly surprised."

Skincare Products I HATE...But Would Still Recommend

"Their hydrating one with like the mushroom is nice. I don't like it. It always foams up on my skin. [...] There are still other good toners at the same kind of price point that I feel are much better. [...] They are extremely, extremely basic. So the reason I don't use them is maybe that. They are a bit too basic when I have amazing toners at the same price point that just go beyond a little bit further than basic."

"This is a decent simple [...] toner. It's mildly hydrating. It's not as hydrating as other toners I've used, but it's simple [...] and it soaks in nicely. My skin feels soft, it looks nice and soft, not sticky, very nice soaks in. Nice texture, feels calming. I think for most people with most skin types will be able to use this with no issue. For acne prone skin there's only one ingredient of note and that's glycerol stearate."

"I would say I'm a hydration skill here, this is definitely delivering a four out of five when it comes to hydration. [...] The moisture level on this toner from Thayers is a two, it is actually very light, we're really leaning more on the hydration side here. I think that this is going to be best for combo folks because we're getting a little bit of both, we're getting that kiss of moisture and a lot of hydration. I do think oily skin types might enjoy this too."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.
