Did you know that the Calendula Herbal Extract Alcohol-Free Toner is Kiehl’s #1 best-selling toner globally? Its success inspired the brand to come up with a water cream that incorporates the same iconic ingredient, Calendula Extract.
What’s different about the new Calendula Serum-Infused Water Cream is that it includes micronized Calendula petals that “burst” when applied. The Calendula serum is meant to soothe and refresh the skin without making it feel too heavy.
The Calendula flower is an annual flower native to the northern Mediterranean countries, and it’s named that way because of its tendency to bloom with the calendar, usually once a month or with every new moon. It’s a relative of marigolds and back in the day, American physicians used calendula to treat amenorrhea, conjunctivitis, fevers, cuts, scrapes, bruises, and burns, as well as minor infections of the skin
Calendula flowers are also used to disinfect minor wounds because of its antibacterial properties. It also stimulates the production of collagen and minimizes scarring, which is perfect for someone like me who is very acne prone and has a lot of acne scars. Calendula is also known to help brighten our overall complexion.
This gel-cream absorbs well and doesn’t leave a residue or anything. It doesn’t overproduce like with some other more creamy type face creams. I love the feel it leaves on my skin, very soft and velvety.
I think is good for any skin but especially for the oily and combination and mostly in summer. I sometimes use it at night as well in winter as a serum. I really like the cream, a bit overpriced as I am sure there are other calendula creams in the market but I have to say that it does the job and the texture is much superior to others.
