Kiehl's Calendula Deep Cleansing Foaming Face Wash — Gel-to-Foam Cleanser for Normal, Oily & Sensitive Skin, Sulfate-Free

Kiehl's Calendula Deep Cleansing Foaming Face Wash is a gel-to-foam facial cleanser that removes oil, dirt and impurities while leaving skin feeling clean and comfortable without over-drying.

Designed as a gentle everyday cleanser, this Kiehl's formula pairs calendula flower extract with glycerin to soothe and hydrate as it cleans. The product starts as a rich gel and transforms into a dense, creamy foam to lift away grime and excess oil from normal, oily and sensitive skin types. It’s free from sulfates and drying alcohols, so it refreshes skin without stripping natural moisture.

How does the gel-to-foam texture benefit my skin?

The gel-to-foam design gives you a concentrated, easy-to-spread cleanser that turns into a protective lather, improving coverage while using less product. The foam helps suspend and remove impurities without aggressive friction.

• Rich gel spreads smoothly across the face for even cleansing.
• Converts into dense foam to lift oil and debris from pores.
• Produces a soft, non-tightening finish that maintains hydration.

What key ingredients are in this face wash and what do they do?

This cleanser features calendula flower extract and glycerin as its central actives. Calendula is included for its traditional soothing properties, while glycerin supports skin softness by attracting and holding moisture on the skin surface.

• Calendula extract — soothes and calms skin after cleansing.
• Glycerin — hydrates and prevents post-wash tightness.
• Sulfate- and alcohol-free base — avoids unnecessary dryness.

Will it work for my skin type and how should I use it?

This face wash is formulated for normal, oily and sensitive skin and is gentle enough for daily use. Apply to damp skin, lather in your hands, massage in gentle, circular motions and rinse with lukewarm water for best results.

• Suitable for daily morning and evening routines.
• Use a small amount — a little lathers into a dense foam.
• Rinse thoroughly and follow with your usual toner or moisturizer.

Does it remove makeup and sunscreen effectively?

The foaming formula efficiently lifts light makeup, surface oil and sunscreen residues when massaged into skin. For heavy or waterproof makeup, pair this cleanser with a dedicated makeup remover or double-cleanse for a deeper clean.

• Effective for everyday makeup and SPF residues.
• Not intended as a single-step remover for waterproof cosmetics.
• Pairs well with an oil-based first cleanse when needed.

Who is this for: Kiehl's Calendula Deep Cleansing Foaming Face Wash is for anyone seeking a non-stripping daily cleanser that balances effective oil control with gentle care. It suits people with normal to oily and sensitive skin who want a soothing, gel-to-foam cleanser that leaves skin feeling clean, comfortable and ready for serums or moisturizers.
