One of the most iconic and popular of Kiehl’s products, that’s been a mainstay in their skincare line is their Calendula toner. I’d wanted to try it for the longest time due, I admit, for the simple reason that it contained flower petals in the bottle. How many products do you know that contain flower petals in the bottle? \ud83d\ude1b But I couldn’t use it because it was formulated for oily skins and I was repeatedly warned that it would be too drying for my normal-dry skin.<\/p>\n
So, I was quite surprised when offered the new Kiehl’s Calendula Deep Cleansing Foaming Face Wash<\/strong> to try, because this too, is formulated for normal to oily skin types and I just don’t fall into that category. However, I was emboldened to try it, because I’d read that it wasn’t drying and that it was a soap and sulfate-free cleanser so it was more gentle on skin.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Well, never a better time than the present to try this, I say! When I moved house<\/a>, I made sure to prep my bathroom. I\u00a0like having proper shower items at hand, and since I was between houses at the time, I thought it was a good time to break out this cleanser to try.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Now, I have to note one thing – this is not a makeup remover. I happened to come across a few reviews and comments online that talked about using this product to remove makeup and how successful (or not) it was, and I was puzzled. Kiehl’s never intended for this product to be a makeup remover. They say that it gently cleanses skin of impurities which does not equal removing makeup. Always use a separate makeup remover, whatever you want to use and then use this as your second step of cleansing, which is what I do.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n And I’m happy to report that despite my misgivings, this face wash isn’t drying, not even on my normal-dry skin.\u00a0It comes in a yellow plastic bottle, but the product itself is a clear gel. You only need a little, pumped into your palm and then lather it up with water.<\/p>\n Despite being a sulfate-free product, it does lather up quite well so that’ll please those who can’t get used to a non-lather face wash. There is a faint scent which bug some people but doesn’t bug me – a slightly herbal-flower scent but I like herbal scents.<\/p>\n As promised on the label, this face wash does cleanse the skin quite impressively and does not dry out the skin, which I appreciate. It also feels fairly gentle, and you get a nice clean feeling on skin, without that squeaky clean, tight feel.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
