My views on Calendula Herbal Extract Toner for Normal-to-Oily Skin:

This toner is a highly recommended one from kiehl's. Its suitable for normal-to-oily skin types. I have the trial size sample, kiehl's is one generous brand i tell you!! So about this toner, it comes with calendula petals i was kinda excited!! Its an alcohol free toner so there is no stinging or anything. It does not dry my skin and keeps it soft. The fragrance is something like some herbal tea!!

This toner is expensive! It is not that extraordinary kind, does nothing bad to the skin though. My skin does not break me out with this toner so i like it. I don't think this is entirely chemical free. (P.S. It has propylene glycol, pentylene glycol, methylparaben and disodium EDTA )

I like this toner though but i am still unsure if i wanna buy this.

Pros:

1. Alcohol-Free toner.
2. Does not dry my skin and keeps it hydrated.
3. Did not break me out.
4. Fragrance is like herbal tea or something.
5. Calendula is known for healing and soothing.
6. Non stinging.

Cons:

1. Expensive.
2. Does nothing to my existing pimple.
3. Not chemical free.

Recommendation:

Kiehl's is a great skin care brand. Calendula toner may be expensive, its alcohol-free and non drying. I suggest try out their sample before you buy full size product.


P.S. this is a sample from kiehl's.
