Kiehl's began to develop men's products in 1961 and now has four product lines, including a Refreshing Purifying Facial Mist, which makes the toner a spray packaging that eliminates the need to apply it by hand or cotton pads, simplifying the application method and making it easier for lazy men to stick to it.
The Refreshing Purifying Facial Mist is a simple composition that mainly provides basic moisturizing astringency. This spray uses a classic combination of ethanol and menthol to cool the skin. Unfortunately, the freshness is slightly insufficient, and its main humectant, glycerin, is easy to produce a sticky feeling when it is semi-dry, and after adding an emulsifier, the texture of the product is smooth and slightly sticky on the face. The addition of capryloyl glycine makes the spray have a certain effect of inhibiting oil, and is more conducive to the absorption of subsequent products, basically completing the job of toner. The Refreshing Purifying Facial Mist does not contain preservatives, but contains flavors and fragrances, as well as ethanol and menthol, which are irritating and not suitable for sensitive skin.
Kiehl's Men's Toner is part of the basic Energizing Moisturizer line, and this product showcases Kiehl's Men's line's dedication to serving men with oily skin. Like most oily skin toners, Kiehl's Men's Toner contains denatured ethanol, but not in high content, the upper face is cool and not irritating, and the smell is light, close to grass, making the experience more enjoyable.
Men's toner uses citric acid and salicylic acid to dissolve oil and exfoliate the skin, helping to reduce the appearance of shine and rough skin on the face, while PCA zinc also helps to quickly regulate oil production in a short period of time. Oil clogging pores can easily cause blackheads and enlarged pores, so in addition to focusing on cleansing, using men's toners, which contains oil-controlling ingredients such as organic acids, can also help prevent it. In addition, the men's toner also contains moisturizing and conditioning ingredients such as hydrolyzed protein and squalane, so it will not cause peeling and dryness due to the oil-controlling effect after use. The antiseptic system of Kiehl's Men's Toner is composed of sorbic acid, VC and VE, which is low in sensitivity. However, citric acid and salicylic acid may cause intolerance reactions, and people with thin stratum corneum should not use them.
Both products can be purchased in flagship stores as well as offline physical stores, men's toner is more cost-effective, priced at 230 yuan for 250ml, and 210 yuan for 125ml of refreshing and purifying spray.
