Kiehl's Calendula Herbal Extract Toner Review

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 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’m not usually one to use toner as I don’t generally find they make much difference, which was kind of the case with this toner unfortunately. I have very oily skin and didn’t notice it helping keep my oil away any differently than if I wasn’t using it. It did help my skin feel fresher after cleansing and didn’t feel drying at all though which was nice and refreshing! And it didn’t leave any residue on my skin. It has a pleasant, fresh scent and there are little flower pieces in the bottle. I would say if you are a person who likes using toner then this is a very nice toner to go for.

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 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!!!

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 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!

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.

I feel like Kiehls had the best of intentions with this toner but I just cannot get behind the bits and pieces of murky brown flower petals suspended in the bottle. Its actually quite repulsive to me when I apply to a cotton pad and its chunky. I can feel the chunks on my face and I can't think of a single purpose or benefit they have.

The toner itself is very nice, its cleansing and tightening without drying out my skin which is lovely and rare for a toner. I am considering running the whole bottle through a sieve and returning it to the bottle so I can continue to use it freely.

The scent is quite strong and earthy but is not overpowering.

If they removed the petals I would consider repurchasing this product.

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!!
