Kiehl's Since 1851 Blue Astringent Herbal Lotion, 8.4-oz.

I’ve been using Kiehl’s Blue Astringent as an aftershave for four decades, and it’s one of those rare products that’s earned a permanent spot in my routine. It’s technically marketed as a toner, but it works beautifully as an aftershave — the alcohol and herbal blend closes pores, tightens the skin, and leaves a clean, invigorating feel without the harsh sting of traditional aftershaves. I have sensitive skin, and this is one of the few astringents that soothes rather than irritates. The scent is subtle and herbal, not cologne-like, so it doesn’t compete with anything else I wear. I just splash it straight into my palms after shaving and pat it on. My skin feels refreshed and calm, not stripped or dried out, even after all these years of daily use. What impresses me most is the consistency. The formula hasn’t changed, the results haven’t changed, and it still does exactly what I need it to do. Not every product survives 40 years in someone’s routine — this one has, and I don’t see that changing.

I absolutely love the Blue Herbal Astringent! This has always been the single best product for my breakouts, and nothing else has ever worked the same way for my skin. When I heard it was being discontinued, I spent months trying to find a replacement and never found anything that even came close. I was beyond excited to see it available again — I literally cried tears of joy when I realized I could purchase it once more! My skin has missed this product so much. Thank you for bringing back the one astringent that truly works for me. Please never discontinue it again!

I have bought this product regularly over many years and like the way it makes my skin feel and use it on a daily basis. Recommended.

The product is the best and I've been using it since 1989. But why is it so difficult to find? And when I do, it's in tiny bottles? I now find myself searching for alternatives elsewhere and therefore do think much anymore about Kiehl's.

I wanted to love this. It feels great going on, but after, I cannot apply moisturizer without the moisturizer clumping up. I have tried different moisturizers, including the ultra facial cream and everything clumps up when I use this first.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great product for clearing up t-zone oiliness! Great for razor burn on my neck as well. Prevents ingrown hairs as well! Have loved this product since my 20’s and I’m now in my 40’s!

I like how the Blue Astringent Herbal Lotion makes my skin feel after shaving. Really clean and relaxed. Been using it for a few years, plan on many more.

Great for ingrown or and skin issues. A little goes a long way. This should last me a while.

So glad it's back!!!! I've been waiting years for this staple in my routine to return.. there is nothing out there like blue astringent!

I've been using this product for decades. It works so well. I never understood why it had been discontinued but I'm glad that L'Oreal came to their senses and listened to their customers.
