Sodium PCA is a naturally occurring humectant in the skin, partly responsible for the skin’s moisture-binding capacity. It is derived from amino acids and is highly water absorbing. Due to its moisture-binding ability, it is a high performance humectant which increases the skin’s softness when added to products.
How to Apply:
-Moisten a sterile cotton pad with toner, and apply to skin in areas where needed, avoiding the immediate eye area
-Before applying, we recommend patch-testing a small amount of any cosmetic product on the inside skin of the wrist area to ascertain its compatibility with your skin
-Use with Blue Herbal Gel Cleanser for best results
Cool Kiehl’s Fact:
When our chemists developed Kiehl’s iconic multi-purpose toner in 1964, its popularity took off almost from the start. Over forty years later, we attribute its appeal not only to its superior quality, but also its versatility. Kiehl’s male patrons tell us they use it as a post-shave treatment to soothe skin and prevent razor discomfort. Legend has it that Andy Warhol was a fan!

yan l asked:If I put on other lotions or creams after this toner, there will be a lot of white flakes on my face. Please the right way to use this toner. before lotions/creams or after lotions/cream?? thanksJul 12, 2012
Margaret F:This is easily fixed!! This astringent lotion is to be paired with one moisturizer only, the Sodium PCA Oil Free Moisturizer!! These are the ultimate friends, forming a wonderful little bond that will take you through your whole day and night! Just wait until that lovely temporary, fresh-feeling tightening to occur, then apply the moisturizer. Then make-up as usual! Happy day!!! (You reminded me, I need to order my best friends again!)
yan l:
Hello, Kate. Thanks for your help. I just purchase the "Blue Herbal Moisturizer" with this toner yesterday online. Because I have some ance problem on my cheek, I hope the toner and the the blue herbal moisturizer could work. But I noted you said the only pair with this toner is the Sodium PCA Oil Free Moisturizer. I'm afraid ever I use Blue Herbal Moisturizer after this toner, the white flake problem should be the same..... Is it?
Jul 14, 2012
denise t:I've used this for years and have never had an issue.... let it dry; you may feel tightness but all is good - it's working. Are you know following up with a kiehls product? could be your problem.Jul 14, 2012
yan l:
Hello, thanks for your help. I have some ance problem on my cheek. I just purchased the Blue Herbal Moisturizer with this toner, and plan to use it after the toner. Can this help reduce the white flake issue? I note another people just answered me above that the only pair with this toner is Sodium PCA Oil Free Moisturizer. Could yor recommend me some products after this toner , depending on your long-term experiends. Thanks very much.
