The Thayers Facial Toner represents an evolution of traditional witch hazel formulations. By integrating 2% Salicylic Acid with a proprietary alcohol-free witch hazel and aloe vera blend, the formula balances surface exfoliation with botanical soothing. This professional-grade solution is designed for oily and blemish-prone skin types seeking to maintain pore clarity without the stripping effects of ethanol-based products.
The primary driver is 2% Salicylic Acid, a lipid-soluble Beta Hydroxy Acid (BHA) that conditions the skin by dissolving surface debris. This formulation utilizes non-distilled Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel), which retains natural tannins for astringent benefits. The addition of Lemongrass and Tea Tree oil provides secondary conditioning support. Due to the potency of the BHA, initial use may result in a temporary increase in visible surface congestion as the skin undergoes a transition period.
