It’s extremely gentle so it didn’t irritate my sensitive skin or cause any breakouts. The toner is so lightweight that it literally feels just like water on your hands. Moreover, this toner made my skin feel so soft and hydrated! It balanced my skin throughout the day, keeping the dry areas hydrated. am so happy, it doesn’t feel sticky, it gets absorbed quickly. Finally, this is a good product for all skin types.

Image yourself walking into an Asian restaurant where the waiter takes you to your table, passes out the menus, and sets down the piping hot chamomile tea pot except, the tea is actually calendula and the tea is actually room temperature…. You pour yourself a cup of calendula and the smell hits your nose gently yet so divine, taking you to a spa on a tropical island. This is how I feel when I smell and use this toner. As an Asian-American this product is very nostalgic for me to use which makes it very bias for me to say the least, however, let me explain to you why I think this product is great regardless of my bias views. The product feels and looks very organic with the flower pedals in the bottle, makes you want to take a bath in it! Little pieces of the pedals ... MoreImage yourself walking into an Asian restaurant where the waiter takes you to your table, passes out the menus, and sets down the piping hot chamomile tea pot except, the tea is actually calendula and the tea is actually room temperature….

The product feels and looks very organic with the flower pedals in the bottle, makes you want to take a bath in it! Little pieces of the pedals do get onto a cotton pad but you can’t feel it on the skin. When I actually use the product on my skin, I feel like I’m being transported to the spa. This product is very gentle even on the most sensitive skin (I say this because most toners I've used have irritated or stung my skin and this one did not do that), it even takes off any residue left behind after using a cleanser. It also helps calms the skin, helps with redness, dullness, and uneven skin — though I do want to mention that it may be due to the other skincare products I am using that is helping the dullness/uneven skin. I can’t say for certain if this helps with oiliness as I am mainly dry skin with a little bit of shine on the t-zone and didn’t seem it did anything? But I can say, it leaves your skin super soft! I do believe this product can work for any skin type, you won’t be disappointed.

My experiences with this product is perfect. It calms my skin takes the redness away. It smells good. My skin feels soft. And cleansed.. It prepares my skin for the next step.I have combination skin. It reduces the oil in my t- zone. I have a sensitive skin but this toner has not bothered me at all. This is my first kiehls product I have tried. I am not dissapointed at all!! Also the toner has calendula pieces which make s the whole experience much better. Love seeing those pieces and realizing how good of a product this is.

I definitely recommend giving this toner a try. Ive tried d so many toners and this is by far is the most suitable for my combination skin type. The toner is so lightweight that it literally feels just like water on your hands. You might want to reapply if you want to feel more hydration your face. In my case I just get a couple drops pt it dry then apply my liquid essence to feel more hydrated. So what does calendula does to your skin? On their website it states that it reduces redness, oiliness and improve skin’s texture it also reduce the appearance of pores. Been using it for 4 days and i love how my skin looks glowy and fresh in the morning. I will continue using this and will update you guys if my skin really loves this product.

This is one of very few products I keep using even as I rotate out the others. Oily skin, not prone to breakouts but prone to redness. A pass or two of this before my morning routine preps my face for the rest of my skincare routine and makeup.THAT SAID—when I first started with this toner I didn’t think it did much. So After a bottle or two, I dropped it. But after I did, I gradually noticed my skin tone was more uneven and my red areas ( lower cheeks, sides of nose) were riddler and patchier. Went back to it and saw improvements within a couple weeks.I think it’s a product with slow improvement—so incremental you might not realize it’s doing anything. But when you go off it, you realize the benefit it had.

I received this @kiehls Calendula Herbal-Extract Alcohol Free Toner from @bloomingdales #sopost It helps soothe redness as far as I can tell, but I only had a few red spots. It's alcohol free has no perfume in it, so it's great for sensitive skin. The only thing I didn't like was these brown pieces are floating in the bottle as you can see in the pic with my cotton round, it looks a bit off putting. The pieces don't come off on my face, but I'm not really thrilled seeing that on my cotton round, so I have to deduct a star. I've tried shaking the bottle, but those brown pieces are still floating in the toner. I'm assuming it's the Calendula. Overall this is a good product for redness I'll give it 3.5 stars.

I received a complimentary sample of Kiehls Calendula Toner from Bloomingdale's "Little Freebies Box" through an ad on Instagram. I'm so glad this was in the box!! I've been searching for a nice alcohol free toner...I found it! I really like that it's fragrance free too!! I have combination skin, This toner made my skin feel so soft and hydrated! It balanced my skin throughout the day, keeping the dry areas hydrated and the oily areas from looking shiny. It also helped with a small breakout I had. My skin looks so much more radiant/brighter in under a week. I've been using this for about 5 days and I'm just in love with this product! I'll be buying the full size!

Ahhh

I was excited to try this, because honestly, it caught my eye because it looked cool and said it soothed “problem area’s”. I had recently seen an uptick in my hormonal breakouts around that time. They weren’t that bad but I wanted to switch up some stuff in my skincare routine to see if anything helped.. I digress.I immediately, a day or so after beginning it’s use, started MAJORLY breaking out. It was terrible. I first switched out other products and it continued, until I stopped using this. I started using it again because I wanted to love it and was thinking maybe it was just coincidental.It broke me out again!I have never had problematic or sensitive skin aside from the small, monthly hormonal break-outs.When I went into the store to ask for other ... MoreI was excited to try this, because honestly, it caught my eye because it looked cool and said it soothed “problem area’s”.

Can’t be without it + Bottle Tip

I can’t describe why I love it but every time I don’t have it in my skin care routine something feels missing and my skin doesn’t like it. I’m on probably my 5th or 6th max size bottle and always have one for backup. A HUGE TIP for people who get annoyed by the packaging and the clogging leaves that I can’t believe I discovered only on my most recent bottle - when you first open it, don’t rip the entire seal off, poke a small hole with the tip of a knife. Screw the cap back on and just squeeze the bottle when you’re using it. It will come out in drops and free of leaves. Game changing.

holy grail

Holy grail will always repurchase. Herbal scent light weight and refreshing no greasy residue Alcohol free. leaves my skin clean of any makeup my wash may have missed. never irritates or drys out my skin. This has helped my skin to become wayyyyy less oily, the results were not something I expected I got this as a mini rouge sample I tried it without reading up on it so when i stared to see less oil production I was amazed. Other than less oily skin it really REALLY soothes my blemishes. I pick at my face unfortunately but if I apply this after the redness irritation goes away. for really bad breakouts I will hold a cotton pad soaked in this onto my irritated areas for a few minutes and my picked skin will look almost as though I never even touched it (maybe I’m ... MoreHoly grail will always repurchase.

I will always continue to buy this, it has changed my oily problematic skin to calmed and clear. I never thought I’d ever have good non textured skin and this is the first time Iv ever felt good about my skin and I have this to thank for it. i never rate five stars most good things get four I reserve five for my true holy grails.
