I first starting using Thayer's witch hazel when it was in the old packaging. (circa...2010?)
At first I *loved* the new packaging because it's unique and gives that old-timey vintage feel that's totally my thing.
But after using the new packaging, I hate it. The cap ALWAYS breaks at the hinge. And the cute mini travel-sized bottle is not travel-safe. It leaks if it's not upright.

I like this more than the scented ones. Very hydrating

Garnier, why is literally the second ingredient acne causing... why? It's micellar water, how did you mess this up?
As a makeup remover it does it's job and it is cheep too but that's about it.
The instructions say that after using it you don't have to rinse it off but it leaves this weird sticky but dry feeling to your skin after usage.
I also clense after I use micellar water so I end up rinsing off the vitamin C. So what is the point off getting sth fancy when normal micellar water works just as fine Show more
