Kiehl's Calendula Herbal Extract Toner Review

I was lucky enough to be selected to review this product and two others from the Kiehl's range. I was super excited to try Kiehl's and I have noticed a definite improvement in how my skin looks and feels while using these products. The first thing I noticed about this lovely toner was that there are actual flowers floating around in the bottle! I'm not sure if they do much to the effectiveness of the product but it sure does look nice. It comes in a plastic bottle with the kind of cap that requires the product to be poured onto a cotton pad. Personally I prefer a toner that can be sprayed straight onto the face and I had to specifically go out and buy cotton pads before using the product. This toner is super gentle, calming and refreshing and leaves my skin looking and feeling fresh without drying. I feel like my pores are looking a little less obvious too which is a nice bonus. The product claims to improve problem areas - I can't comment on this because I don't have problem areas on my face but I think this would be ideal for those who do have problem areas such as aggravation.

My poor skin is exposed to the sun, wind and pollution on a regular basis as I am a long distance runner. I was very excited to chosen for this trial as I knew the calendula is very soothing and anti inflammatory. The toner comes in a bottle and the liquid is a pale yellow colour. I love the fact there are calendula flowers floating in it! I used the toner morning and night for two weeks and applied after cleaning my skin. I used cotton pads to gently swipe my skin before applying my moisturiser. My favourite thing about this toner is that fact it does not contain alcohol. It is super gentle while still effectively removing any extra cleaner or stubborn grime. After two weeks of use I have noticed my skin is less red and blotchy and feels lovely and smooth .

Absolutely love this toner! Iv tired many over the time and this toner I highly rate. The bottle is nice and simple and easy to use. It has a nice natural scent and actually does have the odd extracts in the toner.

Iv had issues with some toners making me go very red or sting once applied, but none of these issues with the herbal extract toner.

Definitely would recommend

This toner does everything it says on the bottle, it reduces inflammation, refreshes my skin, preps my skin for serum and moisturizer, and has no nasties. I love the real ingredients and that it is made by a trusted brand. I am very slack at having toner in my routine but am glad I have added this one in. I will definitely keep using it.

I have not used a toner since I was about 13 and I have memories of them being extremely drying. Well this was the total opposite. It made my skin feel incredibly clean, and soft at the same time. It was not drying, and just glided on to the skin. I think toner may re enter my skincare routine moving forward!

I have never tried this brand before and I don't know if I would if it hadn't been for Santa Shaz! I've never really been a huge fan of toner so wasn't really expecting too much but I decided to give it a whirl and I have been using it both morning and night with fantastic results!

It comes in a plastic bottle with a flip top lid, it smells hmmmm like dead grass lmao but it doesn't linger on your face at all. When I first looked at it I was like ohhhh it has something yucky floating in it but upon further inspection I realised it was the calendula, it does look pretty groddy but you get passed that.

I use a small amount on a cotton pad and pat it all over my face after cleansing. It has no alcohol which is brilliant so I don't get any stinging or dry skin. In fact it does the opposite it makes my skin feel super soft which I have never really got from a toner itself....not to this extent anyway. My skin looks so healthy and my redness is minimized so much.

Another thing I have noticed is I have not had one pimple at all since using this! My skin is so clear it looks so good! I definitely recommend this for anyone struggling with redness or breakouts. It is so good. It is definitely expensive but with the little amount you use and the results I am getting I think it is worth it. Thanks Santa Shaz for getting me on to this!!!

(un)fortunately ive become a mecca hussy and i keep seeing wonderful gift packs and there was a kiehls one (or 2) and i lOVE kiehls and havent had them in ages. so. naturally. bought 2 haha.

this toner is... wow. its literally liquid gold. i love the calendula floating in the bottle, it makes everything feel so extra and boujee - just make sure to wash the flowers out! not sure the recycling plant would appreciate the "dirty" bottle haha.

glide on easily on the skin (ive also had success with it in a spray bottle!) and absorbs so easily. doesnt even feel like ive used a toner. my skin feels nourished and clean and soft and healthy. its bizarre!

its for oily skin but im having great success using it on my dry/fussy witch skin so hey. i still get the occasional hormonal breakout but ive noticed in general that my skin tone does perk up after using this - i cant blame it all on this though, as i do use other products that are meant to make me look better haha. but yeah, overall, great toner, would definitely buy it again!
