Pros
It's great that it's mild and fragrance-free. As I have sensitive skin, I think this is a good option that doesn't cause irritation.
Cons
It doesn't seem to cleanse very well, and even after washing, I'm not sure if I've rinsed it all off... I feel like I need to rinse it several times.

Pros
- The formula is thicker and more viscous than a runny skin, so it doesn't feel irritating at all when massaged. It has a smooth and creamy application. - I often use it as a second cleansing step, but after testing it, I think those who prefer a lighter base can also use it as a primary cleanser. It even removes waterproof eyeliners that are usually difficult to wash off with cleansing water. - The finish feels a bit oily, giving a moisturized sensation. There's a veil-like feeling (which may be divisive). This cleanser not only cleanses but also provides skincare benefits, so it would be great especially during the harsh winter.
Cons
- If it had a pump dispenser, it would have been even better. The formula has viscosity, but it's not exactly runny - it comes out and then goes back in if you don't apply enough pressure. - The price is a bit on the higher side. - The scent is similar to straw, with a slightly vegan-like aroma that some may find a bit strong and divisive.

Pros
10-year veteran of acne Nomadic Final settlement item No acne left after 3 weeks
Cons
That squeaky clean feeling? No residue left? But judging from the result of no acne, the cleansing power also seems good
Tip
The best for someone who doesn't wear makeup Highly recommended as a morning cleansing product

Pros
I received this as a gift and have used almost 250ml of it. In the winter, the tightness in my skin has significantly decreased, and in the spring and fall, I've been able to use it without any issues even when my skin is sensitive. I have oily and dry skin, but it actually doesn't make my skin overly oily.
Cons
It can be used for a second cleanse after the first cleanse. It feels slippery and like it doesn't fully cleanse. But after a while, I do get used to it, though the initial adjustment period is a bit high.

Pros
It's extremely slippery as expected, but it's less adhesive. It's possible to rinse off the leave-in wash-off pack in about 15 minutes.
Cons
The cleansing power is quite disappointing, so I plan to do a secondary cleansing or use it in the morning.
Tip
Well... I'll still finish one bottle, haha

Pros
I was satisfied with the ingredients. It's Kiehl's and doesn't contain any harmful substances.
Cons
It's sticky and doesn't seem to have very good cleansing power, even though it's for sensitive skin.

Pros
❤️ Great for morning cleansing I highly recommend this as a morning cleanser. (For a face with just basic skincare) This cleanser is not overly strong, so it's great to use as a morning cleanser - it won't leave your skin too dry! ❤️ Helps strengthen the skin barrier It contains centella extract, which helps strengthen the skin barrier.
Cons
💔 If it had a pump, it would have been even more convenient to use. I've repurchased the Kiehl's Calendula Cleanser in the large size multiple times and have been using it, but I think it would have been even more convenient to use if it had a pump!
Tip
🔅 I strongly recommend this for those with dry skin and clogged pores. At first, I knew there was no surfactant, so I thought it wouldn't lather at all. But when rinsing, the face felt a bit oily, and it lathered up a bit, making me wonder if it was actually a cleansing cream. I even called the Kiehl's store to double-check. It is indeed a foaming cleanser! Although it felt like the oil wasn't being fully removed when rinsing, after rinsing 10 or more times and finishing up, the clogged pores from dryness had all gone away. I highly recommend this as a morning cleanser (for a makeup-free face).

Pros
I have sensitive skin. I tend to get acne breakouts easily and have an oily complexion, but in the winter, my face becomes irritated and cracked, with acne emerging in the cracks. That's why I use a gentle facial cleanser, and this product works very well for me.
Cons
The price is somewhat high, and it doesn't lather up very well.
Tip
Even with frequent cleansing, it doesn't irritate my face.

Pros
I purchased a cream from Kiehl's and received a 30ml sample, and I love it so much that I'm leaving a review. I'm in my 30s with sensitive, acne-prone, and oily skin, and my skin is very dehydrated, but this product is amazing! 1. Cleansing Power I use it after removing my makeup with an oil cleanser, and it thoroughly cleanses away any remaining impurities. It also gently washes away any dead skin or blackheads without being too harsh. 2. Texture It's a transparent gel formula that doesn't produce any lather at all. At first, I was like, 'What is this?' but it's because it's so gentle and doesn't contain any harsh surfactants. It's also non-irritating to the eyes. It's very gentle, so it's safe to use even on sensitive or acne-prone areas. The fragrance is also really nice!
Cons
It's not a foaming product, so it might feel a bit unfamiliar at first, but you'll get used to it. It doesn't seem to be a strong cleansing product.
Tip
If you use it gently, massaging it into the sensitive areas, it's not too irritating and works great.

Pros
This is a mild cleanser that contains centella, which helps regenerate the skin and protect the skin barrier during cleansing. It's great for those who experience tightness and redness after cleansing. The cleansing feels like gently washing with soft honey.
Cons
I'm still getting used to the fact that it doesn't create a lot of lather. I know that abundant lather isn't necessarily a good thing, but I'm still struggling to fully appreciate the lack of lather.
Tip
When applied to the skin, it feels like it's creating a thick protective layer. I've also tried using it for shaving, and it works well for that too - it has a similar feel to using a rinse for shaving. After shaving, there are often many invisible micro-cuts, but using this centella-containing regenerative cleanser helps them heal faster. Overall, it seems like a great option.
