Kiehl's Kiehl's Face Wash brand introduction

Calendula Clear Cleansing Gel is a long-term product of Kiehl's and comes from its Calendula range. It was one of Kiehl's's first product lines to hit the market, with its first toner launched back in the late '60s. This cleansing gel is formulated with amino acids and betaine, which is not as powerful as previous amino acid cleansers, but it is mild and low-irritating.
 
The ingredients are also formulated with moisturizing glycerin and calendula extract, which has a calming and soothing effect, making it friendly to sensitive skin. The gel is made of a clear gel texture and uses a foaming mesh to create a smooth and elastic lather. Oily skin and oily skin will not be tight after use, and there will be a slight slippery feeling.
 
The High Moisturizing Cleansing Gel is a companion cleanser to the star product, the High Moisturizing Cream. This cleansing ingredient is quite "luxurious", with APG as the main cleansing, blended with SLS and betaine, and has a high mildness; The formula contains a variety of moisturizing ingredients such as glycerin, squa, VE, avocado oil, and sweet almond oil, which is worthy of the name of "high moisturizing". Although the immediate effect of such a luxurious formula is not significant in just a few tens of seconds of cleansing, in the long run, it is still of positive significance to increase the skin's own moisturizing ability and adjust the skin's water and oil balance.
 
The outer packaging of the cleansing gel is a typical "Kiehl's style", and the dense English introduction on the white tube is arranged neatly and symmetrically, many fans feel "extremely comfortable", while some dislike it thinks "too straight man". The gel is translucent and viscous, and it only takes about one centimeter to squeeze out a foaming net to make a rich foam, but the foam is slightly sparse and has a certain slippery feeling on the face. Similar to Calendula Cleansing Gel, its cleansing power is not outstanding, making it more suitable for dry skin users. After cleansing, follow the high-moisturizing essence water and cream, moisturize and moisturize, even in autumn and winter.
 
Since Kiehl's joined the L'Oréal Group in 2000, its expansion has accelerated dramatically and it is now one of the most mainstream skincare brands. Its star products, the high-moisturizing cream and the No. 1 lipstick, have been popular for nearly 40 years, and have always had a good reputation, which can be called the "evergreen" in the beauty industry.
