What the gurus are saying

At just $15 for a full 12-ounce bottle, this toner earns praise for its soft, milky texture and hydrating feel that soaks in nicely without stickiness. It suits most skin types and leaves skin feeling calm, though it tends to foam a bit when you apply it, which some find annoying. Those with very sensitive or acne-prone skin may want to check citric acid, potassium hydroxide, and glycerol stearate first.

"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."

"This is more hydrating rather than the more moisturizing side of milky toners. Oily skin people like myself, I got oily T-Zone, can use this with absolutely no issue and really really enjoy it as well. 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. Also as I mentioned, their mushroom one foams up on my skin no matter what I use it in conjunction with, on dry skin, damp skin, it just constantly foams up. It's unusable for me. That being said, I did use it. I took it away with me for about a week and I used it for that week and my skin was very well hydrated. I just had to put extra time into using a toner which I don't expect to do and shouldn't have to do."

"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. For very sensitive skin, citric acid and potassium hydroxide keep it in mind, but for the most part I think oily skin, dry skin, most sensitive skin, and acne-prone skin should all be able to use this without any issues. I found it very very nice and effective and efficient in terms of the price. This is a full size 12 oz, 355 milliliters, and it retails for $15 making it super affordable. This bottle will last forever I'm convinced of it."

"This actually feels really refreshing and breathable while maintaining a little bit more of a medium type of texture. 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. If you're looking for something to really plump up your skin or give you a little bit more of that medium type of feel with your toner you might really enjoy this. It is not greasy, I can't say this enough, there's no oils in here, it's not greasy, it's not super duper emollient, so I think it would still be really refreshing and breathable for oily skin types. If you're a dry skin type looking for a really nourishing type of toner, I don't think this is it. Right now it's feeling really nice on my skin and I have to say I find this to be a really nice value too because this is a huge bottle, 355 milliliters of toner."

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.
