Product Summary
"Thayers Natural Remedies - Thayers Rose Petal Witch Hazel Facial Serum" could be helpful for: Moisturizing, but its actives are not the most effective or are not well-studied.
Ingredient callouts
- This product also contains Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid). It can be an effective active for anti-aging and evening out the skin tone, but in this product it is used for stabilizing other ingredients in the formulation. In this concentration (0.80% - 1.25%) it cannot have a noticeable benefit for the skin.
- Humectants (sodium hyaluronate 0.45% - 1.10%, sodium pca 1.30% - 1.90% and glycerin 2.10% - 3.20%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
Price
The product retails for 10.99$ in the United States.

Moisturizing
What does the product description say?
This serum is formulated with a blend of rosewater, rosehip, vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, and naturally scented by rosewater.
Source: Target
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": glycerin, sodium hyaluronate.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from within deeper layers of the skin. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).
