Kiehl's Calendula Herbal Extract Toner Alcohol Free

I love this toner. Not to heavy on the skin your face feels so fresh while putting it in. My go to toner

After removing makeup and cleansing, I use a toner/skin balancing water to restore the skin’s pH level before applying serum. This step helps the serum absorb better and work more effectively. To put it simply, it’s like a sponge: if the sponge is dry and you put soap on it, the soap just sits on the surface. But if the sponge is damp and soft, the soap liquid can go deeper. Toner works the same way for our skin, softening it after cleansing and reducing tightness, so serum can sink in deeper and work better. That’s why, even though toner may sound like just a “pre-step,” if you have the time and budget, it’s really worth adding to your routine. It’s also wallet-friendly in the long run because toner helps your serum work to its full potential (and serum usually costs much more than toner, so it makes sense to maximize its effectiveness). Kiehl’s Calendula Toner is made from natural ingredients (those dark bits floating in the bottle are real calendula petals), suitable for normal, combination, and oily skin. Because of its natural extracts, it’s also gentle on sensitive skin and helps reduce redness. If you’ve never used toner before or are worried about sensitive skin, this one is a nice choice to start. It’s super gentle, fragrance-free (so no headaches), and its liquid texture makes it easy to apply directly with your hands or with cotton pads. How to use:
 Makeup remover (if you do, at night) + cleanser + toner + serum + moisturizer + eye cream (if you have) + sunscreen (in the morning).

The Kiehl’s Calendula Toner has become one of my favorite calming steps in my routine. Calendula is known for its soothing and healing properties, which makes this toner perfect for sensitive or troubled skin. I love that it’s alcohol-free, unscented, and never drying—it leaves my skin feeling fresh, clean, and lightly hydrated. It works beautifully as a prepping step before skincare or even as an extra cleanse to rebalance the skin. The only downside is that the calendula petals can sometimes block the dispenser, but a quick shake before use completely solves that.

Great quality item, soothing to the skin. I noticed some improvement over time. Highly recommended!

Love it, the scent took some getting used to it but overall it left my skin feeling very hydrated without making it feel or look oily which often happens with toners on my skin. I never knew what to do with the stuff in the bottom of bottle. I recommend for those wanting a freshening hydrating toner.

I love it honestly! I don’t usually use a toner but since I bought this one I like it very much. The calendula inside leaves your skin so soft and hidrated. I have the mask and the face cream also and I love them. The texture is watery is perfect for summer and day use

I’ve been using Kiehl’s Calendula Herbal‑Extract Toner, and it’s honestly so soothing for my skin. The alcohol‑free formula, with gentle calendula petals and burdock root, calms redness and balances oil without drying me out . I especially love using it on cotton pads to refresh my face or on irritated spots—it feels instantly calming. The light, honey‑like scent is a nice bonus too. It’s pricey, but it’s become one of my go‑to calming toners.

I love the feel of this after using it my skin feels soft and gentle. It’s not harsh on the skin and I feel that my skin might have improved a little l. Perhaps I need to use it for longer periods to see the pore minimizing effect which it claims to help with pore reduction.

My pores have shrunk significantly in only a week. Apply it with your hands for the best results. It definitely sets the TONE for the rest of your skincare products. I love it!

Such a great toner to tone sensitive skin…I love how it’s so gentle but also clears away extra debris from my skin.

I’ve used it. I have sensitive skin, and prefer calendula over most ingredients for soothing. It's fine, but I didn't notice dramatic results.

I have been using this toner for quite some time and it is my favorite. I have sensitive skin and this product is great as it is quite refreshing and gentle. It also does not leave a residue on my face and cleanses very well.

I’ve always used a toner & prefer using one to get rid of any cleansing residue & to aid in the reduction of flaking skin since I am a regular, prescription strength, Retin A user. I was having difficulty finding a toner that was alcohol free & did not sting, burn or irritate my skin. Even those for normal to dry skin were aggravating my skin, causing my skin to feel tight & worst of all, causing burning, stinging & irritation which indicated to me that they were far too aggressive for my skin type. This particular toner, made by Kiehl’s, is made for normal to oily skin, but it’s gentle enough to use on my dry, sensitive skin too! It leaves my skin feeling so good, clean, calm, balanced & ready for moisturizer! I reallylove this product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really love this toner—it's super gentle and calming on the skin. I use it before masks or after cleansing, and it helps prep and soothe my face without any stinging or dryness (I also notice some oil control effect). It’s especially great after clay masks to calm everything down and shrink pores a bit. Definitely a staple in my routine now!

I was really excited to try this toner, I used the sample before. For the first few days it was amazing and then I started to break out, not sure if this was the only cause but, it’s a good toner overall

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Comfort product..love all the calendula products !

As someone with dry sensitive skin this product was too drying for me. It didn’t cause any irritation but increased overall dryness for me.

This toner is gentle and refreshing, perfect for calming my skin. It helps reduce redness and keeps my skin hydrated without feeling heavy. Love the natural calendula extract—definitely a staple in my routine!

I love the light scent of it every time I use it. I have been using it everyday for 3 years now and I haven't changed. I have bought a lot and repeat it.

It's so gentle on skin. It keeps the skin soft enough before putting other products afterwards. It's a perfect toner that does the job.
