KIEHL'S CALENDULA HERBAL EXTRACT ALCOHOL

Share:

When I was younger, I swore by toners. I was convinced they helped to lớn close your pores (they don’t, và there’s no such thing as “closing” one’s pores). And then I found out using a toner was optional – inlớn the bin my last bottle went.

But as I became older, I began adding a toner inlớn my skincare routine again, especially after being inspired by the 10-step skincare made famous by Korean beauty. I now use toners not to lớn “close” my pores, but khổng lồ exfoliate or hydrate my skin, depending on what my skin needs. I rotate among mỏi three toners, but use one lớn two at any given time based on my skin condition that day.

One of the toners I’ve been using for the past year is the Kiehl’s Calendula Herbal-Extract Alcohol-Free Toner. At first, I was sceptical about the product – how effective sầu would a bunch of flowers suspended in liquid be? Very effective, it seems.

A week after I started using it, I realised why the hàng hóa is one of Kiehl’s bestsellers và a mainstay of the brand since the 1960s: It actually helped improve sầu the condition of my acne-prone, sensitive sầu và dehydrated skin.

Now comes the question that’s on everyone’s mind: Does it contain real calendula petals? The answer is yes. Kiehl’s calendula petals are said lớn be “sustainably harvested, hand-picked, hand-sorted and sun-dried” before being infused inlớn their formulations, so you know that the best petals are chosen lớn ensure maximum efficacy.

This bestselling toner from Kiehl’s, which is chock-full of the benefits of calendula, is known lớn soothe & refresh troubled skin, and visibly reduce redness và blemishes.

This is further backed by a study in which Kiehl’s chemists found that each of the Calendula petals in the brand’s formulations contain five sầu different compounds that reduce irritation: Oleanolic Acid, Lupeol, Quercetin, α Amyrin and β Amyrin. These, described as phyto-components, are active molecules found in the calendula plant and contribute to lớn the efficacy of the ingredient.

These benefits make the toner great for sensitive & acne-prone skin, và I noticed these benefits first-hvà (more on that later).

You vì have to give the bottle a little shake lớn get the petals out, as they tkết thúc lớn sink to lớn the bottom.


I use it day & night after cleansing. On some days, I use it on its own before the rest of my skincare routine, while on other days, I use it after an exfoliating toner.

While some people use cotton pads to apply toner, I dispense this directly on my hands so I can mas sa the calendula petals onlớn my skin. The petals (mostly) dissolve sầu when massaged on your skin so you don’t have khổng lồ worry about ending up with petals all over your face or pillowcase. If there are excess petals that can’t dissolve sầu, just leave them on your face or wipe them from your hands. From my experience, it doesn’t cause discolouration lớn your pillowcase.

The toner is also lightweight, making it great for people with oily and acne-prone skin. Upon application, your skin will feel hydrated, but you won’t feel as if you have a layer of sản phẩm on.

What I’ve sầu noticed is that the Calendula Herbal-Extract Toner really helps to lớn hydrate my skin. A couple of weeks ago, I stopped using it because I had clogged pores (ugh, maskne) & I thought it was a brilliant idea to switch all my skincare products to exfoliating ones lớn get rid of the clogs. So I used my usual cleanser, exfoliating toner, serums with acids and a light moisturiser. It was a bad idea. My skin became dehydrated và sensitive, and I started getting breakouts along my jawline & chin.

I didn’t want khổng lồ completely overhaul my routine again và risk shocking my skin twice, so I decided that maybe the problem could be solved with hydration. I introduced the toner baông chồng inlớn my routine và wow, did it make a difference. In fact, I didn’t notice how much it benefited my skin until then.


After a few days of reintroducing the product into my skincare routine (with everything else remaining the same), I noticed my skin was less dehydrated, the pimples I had on my chin (again, ugh, maskne) healed faster. My overall skin texture also improved, and I find myself having less breakouts, probably because my skin was less dehydrated.

While I didn’t experience redness during these few days, in my past experience, the toner also helped khổng lồ reduce redness, especially on days when I went a little overboard with exfoliation (true story).

And Kiehl’s recent findings seemed khổng lồ emang đến my observation: according to lớn the brand, the product is proven khổng lồ be non-comedogenic (which means it doesn’t clog up your pores) và non-acnegenic. In a clinical assessment done with 55 panelists over four weeks, the toner was “clinically validated lớn reduce the appearance và number of blemishes/imperfections”.

It was also found to boost skin hydration by 76 per cent, and kept skin hydrated for up to lớn eight hours**.

I’m just going lớn leave the rest of the findings here so you can go “whoa” just lượt thích I did.

Instantly:^– 91.5 per cent agree that skin feels soothed/relieved from discomfort– 100 per cent agree that skin looks less oily– 96.6 per cent agree that skin feels water and oil balanced

In 1 week:^– 88 per cent agree blemishes/imperfections appear reduced/minimised– 98.3 per cent agree skin redness appears reduced/minimised

^Based on a consumer perception test based on 59 panelists over a period of 1 week.*Clinical results based on a 4-week dermatologist-controlled study on 55 women.**Corneometer Study, 26 Subjects.

Like its name suggests, it does have a hint of herbal smell, but the smell is not overpowering. In fact, you’d only really notice the smell if you take a whiff while applying the sản phẩm on your face. If you’re wondering, the smell reminds me of canned chrysanthemum tea – it’s pleasant, subtle và might make you crave for the drink.

Another thing I lượt thích about the toner is that it comes in an alcohol-không tính phí formula, which my skin loves. Alcohol toners tkết thúc khổng lồ dry my skin out, và I notice my skin ends up producing even more oil lớn compensate for the loss và hence, becomes oilier.
