Kiehl's Calendula Herbal Extract Toner Review

Thanks so much for giving me the chance to try this brand its been so lovely. Im usually not a huge toner fan as it comes down to having time to do it and sometimes i think its not needed. Anyway i was happy to give it a go and its actually so nice to use and i found it quite refreshing on my face after washing and so surprising to see how much grime and dirt wasn't removed from a wash. It has a nice clean feeling not too drying and not really an scent either which i found quite nice. It works well in conjunction with the serum and the moisturiser and i will definitely continue to use it.

Firstly, the flowers in the bottle are kind of odd looking but you get used to it. I love the simple packaging The toner itself is so nice, it didnt dry out my skin at all after it dried down. It has a slight tingly feeling to it too. Loved what it did for my skin definitely would repurchase

I love an alcohol free toner so was very excited to get my hands on this! I really enjoyed using this toner because of its gentleness and herbal element of the toner. The toner itself has little petals floating around in the bottle which was a nice touch.

The toner itself is cooling and feels like it does a decent job clearing the skin before adding other serums and creams, without leaving the skin feeling tight and dry. As part of a routine that aims to add as much moisture to the skin as possible this is the perfect toner for the job.

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.

I haven’t been a big user of skin toner over the years, so was keen to try out this herbal-extract toner. Out of interest I googled the Calendula herb, which amongst other things said it was a powerful healing agent of the skin and is considered to be the single most useful herb for healing damaged or broken skin - so that was a good start ! I used this toner as the first part of my twice daily skincare regime after cleansing my face, I didn’t apply with the recommended cotton pad but just dripped it directly onto my face and gently patted it in. It absorbed quickly leaving my face feeling refreshed, cool and alive. It is interesting to see the generous amount of herbs floating in the bottle and knowing that they are working for you. I have enjoyed using this toner and will certainly add it to my skin-care regime now that I understand better what it achieves.

My first impressions of this product was that I was a bit put off with the flowers in the toner and sure enough first use bits of flower came out. However that was short lived. I love using this toner straight after cleaning my face in the shower as it is so soothing. I find only a small squirt of product into a cottonball is plenty to do my face, and I'm not bothered by any natural flowers that come with they tend to stick to the cotton ball. It smells very similar to a weak green tea but it's not a fragrance that hangs around for long. I find that, maybe due to it being alcohol free, it takes a little longer to soak in but I'm happy waiting the little bit extra. The product comes in an 125ml clear bottle which, I believe, would be sufficient for at least 3-4 months. It has very plan white and black labeling which makes it blend in to your bathroom surrounds. The toner is created for normal to oily skin and, having an oily t zone, I have noticed a definite reduction in oil whilst I have been using this. Overall I would highly recommend this for anyone after a soothing toner or wanting to reduce an oily t zone. I love this product and can definitely see myself replacing it once it finishes.

I must admit I don’t usually tone. I have a bit of combination skin that’s quite sensitive so usually find it too drying in patches and also the alcohol dries it even more, stings or it is just off putting to think about having alcohol in there. But this was alcohol free so that was a bonus!

It’s quite a pretty bottle with its yellow tinge and floral floaties. Quite the show piece for any bathroom really.

Next thing I noticed was the smell - it personally reminds me of lemon tea kind of so very refreshing.

It’s so gentle and mild on the skin and I didn’t find it drying at all! In fact it freshened up my skin nicely.

I used a wipe and toned after cleansing. It actually removed a little more makeup and dirt from my skin that cleansing alone didn’t which was nice but also revealing.

It refreshed my skin and gave a nice clean cool feeling. No drying or tightening like say Cliniques has done to my skin in the past.

I would love to reuse but must admit it’s usually a step I skip and I hate using disposable wipes. My skin is in great condition at the moment though.. these products have been so gentle yet have had a huge impact on my skin - it’s really in amazing condition that I feel I can wear no makeup so I perhaps shouldn’t be so lazy and keep it up!!

I love this toner! Finally a toner that is alcohol free, so it didn’t try out my skin! It felt luxurious to use, with its flower petals. It helped to take off any remnants of makeup left on my skin and made my face feel toned without feeling dry! I love using it night and day and it’s a great addition to my skincare regime now. I’d sort of gone off using toners as I hadn’t found the right one and all the toners that I’d tried had dried out my skin and made it feel tight. But this toner is perfect and does what it’s supposed to do and now I actually want to use a toner everyday again, as long as it’s this one!

Initially I was a bit skeptical about this product, its kinda like Tea for your face! It looks like tea and contains calendula petals. Calendula is really quite soothing, there is no real strong fragrance, just a herbal reminder about the goodness that lies inside.

This product is non-drying and alcohol free. Great to use after cleansing. After application pores are refined and toned. With regular use skin is less oily and pores are more under control, certainly less visible and open. Oily skin is balanced and shiny areas are kept sheen free. Very pleasant to use.
