It has that typical aroma you often find in vitamin C skincare products.
ConsUnfortunately, there are quite a few drawbacks. Initially, after using it twice, I thought it was decent, unlike Kiehl's Ultra Cream. It seemed to provide hydration and had a nice fragrance. However, from the third use onwards, things went downhill. First off, it made my face itchy when applied. Instead of feeling like a moisturizing layer, it felt heavy on my skin. Looking at the ingredients list, I suspect it's due to the high dimethicone content. This type of formulation was popular in Korea about 20 years ago, but Kiehl's is still using it... The dimethicone doesn't agree with my skin. The texture is slippery, and it feels suffocating after application. To make matters worse, it pills when applied before makeup. I believe Kiehl's is a brand that those with super sensitive skin should avoid at all costs.
TipIf you have super sensitive skin, steer clear of this product. Considering its price, the outdated texture, and problematic ingredients, there's absolutely no reason to recommend it!

It adheres gently to the skin without feeling heavy or sticky. ✨ Quick absorption - The moment you apply it, you can feel the moisture being deeply absorbed, instantly hydrating the skin. It's low in oil and finishes with a fresh feel, so it doesn't cause pilling even when used before makeup. ✔️ Recommended Skin Types ✅ Oily skin lacking moisture - Its lightweight formula provides refreshing hydration without the burden of excess oil. ✅ Sensitive skin - Thanks to the calendula ingredient, it's gentle and calms the skin comfortably. ✅ Combination skin - It balances oil and moisture well, so even those concerned about T-zone oiliness can use it without worry. If you're looking for a moisturizing and lightweight hydrating cream, Kiehl's Calendula Serum-Infused Water Cream seems like a great choice. I especially recommend it to those who found heavy or sticky creams burdensome.
Cons▪ May lack sufficient moisturization for dry skin - It's better to layer it with other moisturizing creams rather than using it alone. ▪ The scent may be divisive - It has a natural herbal scent, but those sensitive to fragrances might want to check it out first.
TipI was so surprised by how moisturizing and soft it felt when I first applied it! I fell in love with its hydrating effect! Highly recommended for those seeking intense hydration! You can use it alone in spring and summer, and in fall and winter, it works great when you create a moisture barrier with an oil-based cream on top.

I tried it when my skin was particularly sensitive, and it seems to work well. It feels refreshing on the skin.
ConsWhen my skin was extremely sensitive, I experienced a tingling sensation and had to stop using it. It seems to vary depending on the condition of your skin. I recommend trying a smaller size first before committing to regular use.

The scent is also quite pleasant, and you get a generous amount of product.
ConsWhen my skin is feeling sensitive, it can sometimes sting upon application, so I always make sure to apply it after my basic skincare routine. The hydration doesn't last as long as I'd like.

First off, I felt an incredible boost of moisture. Even with just a tiny amount, my skin felt cooled and hydrated from deep within. I noticed some reviews mentioned the scent being hit or miss, but I didn't find it unpleasant at all. In fact, it felt refreshing and pleasant to me. Despite having very oily skin, I didn't feel any greasiness... It's honestly a holy grail product. I'd say it's even better than Kiehl's basic moisturizer.
ConsIt's expensive, but worth every penny. This is definitely a must-buy. I'm surprised the rating isn't higher.

The texture is perfect for hot days. I didn't experience any tingling sensation on my skin.
ConsWhile it's light and refreshing, I find it a bit disappointing that it lacks richness. I wish it had a bit more moisturizing power.
TipIt's great to use before makeup, but it feels a bit insufficient for nighttime skincare.

No stickiness at all. Among all the moisturizers I've used, this one has the least rich feel, which I absolutely love. After application: It feels cool and refreshing!
ConsTo be honest, the effectiveness is a bit disappointing. I didn't see any reduction in my blemishes or notice any significant improvements.
TipI think it works well when used together with a calendula toner!

Applying just a small amount feels incredibly light and refreshing, like you're spreading water on your skin. It's perfect for those with oily skin. I've been using it lately due to blemishes caused by wearing masks, and it's been great. As expected, Kiehl's large-size products are fantastic.
ConsIt doesn't seem particularly suitable for dry skin. The hydration isn't very noticeable.
TipFor best results, use the entire Calendula line from cleansing to toner and cream.

The texture is really appealing and it applies smoothly. I'd recommend this to those with dry skin who don't have large pores.
ConsFor oily/sensitive skin, it caused a tingling sensation... I couldn't apply much. Kiehl's... It's famous, but I guess it's not suitable for me.
