Kiehl's Calendula Herbal Extract Toner Review

This toner has got to be the freshest and most luxurious toner I've tried yet. The formula itself is wonderful - super natural, really hydrating, and doesn't leave a film on the skin - but it's those Calendula petals in there that really push this one over the top! I was a little surprised when one popped out onto my cotton round when using this for the first time, however I went about using the product as normal anyway, and found that it broke down and combined with the product really well, and wasn't slimy or anything like I was initially concerned about. After a week or so of using this product, I found that my skin seemed much more hydrated compared to a traditional toner I was using before. I absolutely love this product, and will definitely be repurchasing!

My experience on the Kiehl's trial team has really surprised me. Such simple staple products in any beauty regime and yet they pack in the wow factor!

Like a toner. A simple, balancing toner. HOW can it be anything more than, 'yeah, nice to use'? I don't know, but this one is - its a blooming joy to use every day!

It smells herb-ilicious, fresh, herby, earthy, natural.

It leaves skin feeling refreshed and cool, not stripped in the slightest.

I've been using this on a cotton pad to freshen up through the day when my skin gets a bit hot and oil-slicky (attractive...I know!)

I just can't believe how much I love this toner - thanks BR!

This toner is extremely gentle yet so effective. It almost smells like a herbal tea of some sort. You can definitely tell is natural. It contains a plant like substance within the bottle of toner. I love natural products so this gets a huge tick from me. It’s incredible how you can remove your makeup but this toner will cleanse the skin even more and remove any bits of makeup that was still there. I have noticed a huge improvement in my skins appearance already. It’s more hydrated, my pores appear smaller and my son is clearer and fresher but not stripped of its natural oil. This is the best toner I have ever used without a doubt.

I'm loving this toner. It comes in a plastic flip top bottle and has a light herbal scent. I have tried a few alcohol free toners in the past few years and this one really sets itself apart.

After applying, my skin feels soft and toned, but not at all dry. I am enjoying the experience of using it (the herbal scent lends to a spa like feel), as well as the results. After using it, my skin feels prepped for serum and moisturizer. Definitely a step not to be skipped in a good skincare routine. You skin will thank you for it.

I haven't used toner in quite a while in my skincare routine, and received this as part of a trial team.

The formula is in a clear bottle with instructions for use on the front, and it's brown with calendula petals. Normally I can definitely leave calendula, as I cannot stand the scent, but the smell doesn't seem to strong with this and I don't mind it. And the petals are visually pleasing.

Upon application, this isn't sticky and glides on nicely. I found it soothed my skin when my sensitivity flared (currently, normally on my neck) and with regular use it seems to have stopped completely. My skin also doesn't feel dry or tight after applying it.

I am surprised and pleased at how well this has worked for my skin and will definitely consider purchasing it in the future.

I absolutely loved this toner. I haven't been big on using toners in the past, so was excited to try this one. I especially like that its alcohol free so it doesn't sting or dry my skin, particularly in sensitive areas. I used the toner following my oil cleanser as a second cleanse and tone and it left my skin feeling clean, calm and soothed. I noticed my skin improved over the fortnight I used the product with less breakouts and redness. A little certainly went a long way, which is also a bonus. It was the perfect second step in my skincare routine and set a great platform for my serum as I could trust my skin was well cleansed and makeup/dirt free. I'll definitely continue using this - I was very impressed!

When I first recieved this toner I thought hmmm interesting with all the floating plant bits in it but it felt more of a natural product seeing this I applied with a cotton pad didnt need much at all just a teaspoon full I applied over my troubled areas more and geez it removes all that extra dirt off an out of places you didnt even relised you had missed it doesn't really have a fragrance it absorbs very face ready as soon as your finished for the next step I love this product it's the type of product that you feel satisfied you brought something that worked it prepared my skin wonderfully

This is a toner to get excited over! I say this as someone who owns toner but generally "forgets" to use it. This Kiehl's toner is different from all of the toners I have used in the past as it really does improve the feel of my skin.

I like the packaging, it is simple and works. The toner smells quite earthy, it reminds me of honey or herbal tea. I don't love the smell but it isn't offputting. The same goes for the colour of the toner, it is an earthy brown, tea-like colour with petals or some other part of a plant floating in it. I don't think there has ever been a more interesting toner to look at!

To use you simply apply the toner to a cotton pad and wipe over the skin. The thing I love most about this toner is that it isn't drying but great for oily skin! It is also great to calm and soothe skin. My skin is left feeling clean, refreshed, and soothed after using this toner.

I feel like the price point is appropriate for this toner as for me it will get used and not put at the back of the cupboard like the other toners I own.

Overall this is a fantastic toner that I would recommend everyone to try!

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.
