Kiehl's Calendula Alcohol-Free Toner for Normal to Oily Skin — 4.2 fl oz, Soothing, Redness-Reducing & Non-Comedogenic

Kiehl's Calendula Herbal Extract Alcohol-Free Toner is a gentle, plant-based facial toner designed to calm redness, reduce excess oil, and refine skin texture without alcohol or fragrance.

This alcohol-free toner blends calendula petals with soothing botanicals like allantoin and burdock root to refresh skin after cleansing. Formulated for normal-to-oily and sensitive skin types, it works as a lightweight second-step treatment to help balance pore appearance and prepare skin for serums and moisturizers. The formula is free from parabens, silicones, mineral oil, dyes and fragrances, and is non-comedogenic.

How quickly can I expect to see calmer, less oily skin?

Visible improvements in redness, oil control, and texture were observed in clinical testing, with notable differences recorded within days for many users. Individual results vary by skin type and routine, but consistent twice-daily use after cleansing delivers the fastest results.

• Clinically measured improvements in a four-week study on 62 subjects.
• Lightweight, alcohol-free formula that won’t strip moisture.
• Apply with a cotton pad or bypatting into skin after cleansing.

What are the key soothing ingredients and how do they help?

Calendula petals are the star ingredient, known for their calming, botanical properties. Allantoin and burdock root complement calendula by helping to soothe and refresh skin, supporting a more even complexion without harsh irritants.

• Calendula extract: botanical calming agent.
• Allantoin: supports skin comfort and softness.
• Burdock root: traditional soothing botanical to reduce visible irritation.

Will this toner clog pores or irritate sensitive skin?

No — the toner is formulated to be non-acnegenic and non-comedogenic, so it won’t block pores. Its alcohol-free, fragrance-free, and dye-free composition reduces the risk of irritation, making it suitable for many sensitive skin profiles when used as directed.

• Non-comedogenic: safe for acne-prone skin types.
• Free of alcohol, fragrances, parabens, silicones, and dyes.
• Recommended for normal-to-oily and sensitive skin types.

How do I add this toner into my daily skincare routine?

Use it immediately after cleansing: moisten a sterile cotton pad with toner and smooth across your face, avoiding the eye area. Follow with your serum and moisturizer morning and night to lock in benefits and maintain balanced skin.

• Use after cleansing, before serums and moisturizers.
• Suitable for AM and PM routines; gentle enough for daily use.
• Apply with a cotton pad or gently press into skin with palms.

Who is this for: Kiehl's Calendula Alcohol-Free Toner is ideal for anyone with normal-to-oily or combination skin looking for a gentle, botanical toner to reduce shine, calm redness, and improve overall texture without harsh chemicals. It’s especially useful if you prefer fragrance-free, alcohol-free products or have sensitive, reactive skin that needs soothing support between cleansing and moisturizing.
