Kiehls calendula deep cleansing foaming face wash ingredients

Q: Is Kiehls Calendula Cleanser non comedogenic?

Though oil-based, this Kiehls staple is non-comedogenic, so it wont clog your pores, and can be used daily for soft, supple-feeling skin.

Q: Is Kiehls cleanser good?

The Value: Well worth the money At $22 a pop, Kiehls Ultra Facial Cleanser isnt cheap, especially when compared with the surplus of effective drugstore cleansers, but in my opinion, it outshines all of them in its ability to get skin looking and feeling both clean and well-cared-for.

Q: Is Kiehls cleanser soap free?

Its formulated without soaps and sulfates, instead using Thyme Essential Oils and Lemon Balm Floral Water to clean and calm the skin.
