This product does what it says it does. I just can't get past the smell. Especially since you are putting it on your face. Don't get me wrong, I love natural things, but the smell of this is too herbal for me. I tried it for two weeks before giving up. For the price, I do think that this product is a bit overrated. I just can't get over the floating pieces in the bottle.

Kiehl's Calendula Herbal Extract Toner Review

Tips: Use after cleansing.
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!
I am a long-time Kiehl's fan and I used this product back when my skin's barrier was extremely damaged from going too heavy on serums, peels and AHAs/BHAs. It's a great calming toner which probably was the only thing holding my skin together when I was abusing it with harsh cleansers, toners and spot treatments.
Tips: Highly recommend this if you have sensitive skin or your barrier is very damaged.
My sister gifted me this for Christmas and I was excited to try it. Mecca said it was scent free but it smells kinda like honey - which is fine. I like honey. I haven’t seen any difference to my skin with this and it does feel like it’s drying it out - though I do have dry skin and shouldn’t have used it seeing as it’s advertised for normal to oily skin.
Tips: If you’re prone to dry skin, find something else. I feel kiehls toner itself could be fine but don’t use this one.
I love this product, it is so refreshing and calming on the skin. I have been using it for a few years now, having tried others but I keep returning to this. It is gentle on sensitive skin and being alcohol-free, it doesn't cause excess oil production from drying ingredients, which has been a big problem with others for me in the past. Overall it is great, I am just not so convinced about their claims about improving skin texture.
Tips: Leaving a cotton pad soaked in the toner on a blemish will help reduce it.
This is my first product to try from Kiehls, and i’ve heard such good things about their products so i was looking forward to this.
I apply the toner on a reusable cotton eye-pad and use it to wipe my face for extra cleansing from time to time not too often because toners often dry my skin out.
But i was really disappointed with this product, i felt it did nothing to my face it might be made for ultra sensitive skin maybe? But it was really useless on my skin and i have combination skin type.
I’d never buy this again, felt like a waste of money unfortunately. The toner looked cool it had pieces of extract in it, which comes out with the toner which you can also apply on your face. But nope this wasn’t for me.
This is my go-to toner and I have repurchased this at least 4 times. It soothes the skin and acts as a perfect primer for the rest of my skincare products that I put on after.
