Dr Adam Geyer on Calendula Deep Cleansing Foaming Face Wash by Kiehl’s

Inspired by its iconic Calendula Herbal Toner, Kiehl’s launches gentle, paraben-free Calendula Deep Cleansing Foaming Face Wash. The chemists at Kiehl’s have harnessed the time-tested power of Calendula to create a new formulation that thoroughly, yet gently cleanes and refreshes the skin. Says Dr Adam Geyer, Kiehl’s Product Development Consulting Dermatologist, “The first step to achieving healthy-looking skin begins with gentle yet effective cleansing that protects the skin barrier. Harsh cleansers such as alkaline based ones can damage the skin barrier. Once there are tiny cracks in the skin barrier, it increases the possibility of irritation and allergies. When cleansing the face, using a soap-free formula is an integral part of maintaining the skin barrier function.”
